If true, this is precisely why Iran is focusing on the Gulf states. They are the outermost rim of assets, thus closest to Iran geographically and shielded by fewer other assets, therefore Iran will enjoy more success by targeting them.

Iran should ignore the noise and stick to the strategy that is giving it a genuine chance of k.o.'ing some of the nations that threaten it. Tel Aviv is the final boss.

Not likely to happen. The GCC states are not going to allow their livelihoods to be held hostage.

The optics problem for USA-Israel is that emotive semantics ring hollow when Iranian lives and livelihoods have been "held hostage" by deliberate targeting of universities, hospitals, and civilian areas during this war and prior to the war, a sanctions programme that -by the live and recorded admission of American officials themselves - was fully intended to cripple the Iranian currency.

People dont have to take up arms to paralyze a state.
A lot can happen. Going on strike, blocking highways, roads, trains etc.
But other than that, yeah, there is also a possibility of violence occuring.

You're making an argument based on an assumption things will proceed as normal in the US. When you see rising fuel prices, groceries/food prices to obscene levels (remember, 50 % of the worlds supply of urea/food fertilizer goes through the Hormuz strait), then see what happens.

Things are relatively calm now, yes. Will it stay that way? Not so sure. Think a few steps down the road.
They werent even that calm to begin with. The situation in Minneapolis a few months ago was really volatile

Mordor is a big country. A few states protesting don't matter.

Whilst powerful optics that hurt the prestige of the US, the reality is E-3C TAIL (0005/OK) alongside comprising E-3B (77-0355/OK) and E-3G (80-0139/OK) were retired and last flew in August of 2023.


The E3 Sentry is being replaced by the Boeing E-7A Wedgetail as the E3 Sentry is an aging platform and deemed to be underperforming in PACOM.

So it's AI?

Had me fooled in all honesty. To be fair the intact dome on the ground should have given it way....

We call Americans the cowards of North America because all they do is march, and the guns in their hands are only used in schools and stores.

This is a passage we studied in our philosophy class.

Under contemporary capitalist conditions, the weakness and compromising nature of the bourgeoisie still exist, only the form of their manifestation has changed. The modern bourgeoisie no longer faces issues of national independence and feudal oppression, but the alienating effects of capital logic on people still exist, and have even become more hidden and profound. The desire for capital accumulation drives the bourgeoisie to continuously adjust strategies and make various forms of compromise, while maintaining fundamental interests. The essential characteristic of the capitalist system is allocating resources and power according to the amount of capital.

Trump controls the greatest resources and power. At least before the midterm elections, Trump was still the emperor of the United States. For the sake of winning the midterm elections, Trump will become even crazier.

So, let us see what will happen next. We need to wait.

Why would they go on a violent protest? It's one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, one with the most personal freedoms, a nation where you can earn $300,000 a year fixing electrical pylons. Buy a palace in a rural area for the same price as a apartment in London etc etc.

They might complain about the gas prices but they are the largest producer on this planet, they are still cheap and Americans are still rich, it's a complaint but it's marginal for most.

Maybe they shouldn't be driving a 6 mpg truck everywhere lol. I have a 60-70 mpg diesel car and an electric car with lots of free charging and discounted night charging so even if I'm paying double the Yankees it's fine.

I hate the USA, will never visit it on the basis of that life exists counter to what I value. I value free healthcare, accessibility to places nearby, knowing that every person I walk near doesn't have 5 guns strapped to their body, their idea of freedom/free speech which is absurd. Yet to be born in America is a dream most in the world would aspire to

And that quote from the book is marxist bullshit, show me one nation where it doesn't partly apply.
