I am getting tired of Prof. Pape. Seems too low for an American professor from a great university to paddle his theories about 'escalation trap'. Doesn't he ever teach some actual coursework?! He could learn from Prof. Jefferey Sachs about humility and careful wording.
But not saying Prof. Pape's ideas are out of question. Just sick of his self-marketing.

He is having his 15 mins of fame. But I watched his videos in the first weeks of the war. And he was accurately predicting the war would go on for some time while everyone in the news thought it would be over very quick (either Iranian capitulation or ceasefire) and even users on this very board that now act like experts were saying Iran was finished after the first week.

He’s run out material since then, but his core thesis is right — Trump will escalate to not appear weak and Iran can match him. Trump has no good cards to extract himself from this conflict without paying some type of price.

Another one of his early war predictions was that Iran would become a nuclear weapons power within a years time. That prediction remains to be seen if it turns out to be correct.

We need to give some allowance to the Iranian posters here. Even to the level-headed Persian Gulf Mod. Their country is being attacked and is literally facing an existential threat. Regardless of the mistakes the Iranian leadership made since 1979, they are at a point of no return: Either they survive as a nation-state with sovereignty (and hopefully course correction) or they become another vassal state with even more castastrophic wars to launched on them should they stray from the path.

If 'Lord Varys' was the most self-less humanity loving person in 'The Game of Thrones' then Prof. Sachs is the best version of 'Lord Varys' in today's world. Always thinking about all--about all--of humanity. Sachs advocated to accommodate the Russians into the Western led order after the Soviet Union fell--way back in early 90s-- but the Neo Con Warmongers rejected his advice. The world would have been a better place if they paid attention to him then.
His last advice about this war that I remember: Americans don't have to do anything. Just go home! Just go home!

Maybe he was objective at first to build credibility and a following so he could then use that to create the image that Iran = Isis. How else can this be explained? The most effective liars tell the truth most of the time.

This is a ballistic type antiship missile, check how damage came from top, missile Cruiser type Noor/Gadhir are sea skimmer and hit just above floating line.
Obviously Irán is escalating.
