Maybe getting kicked out of the Sahel humbled them?

I doubt it. They probably just see it as a temporary setback. A set back that requires oil to rectify.

This makes me happy.

The IRGC needs time to reload too. I think they will make better use of their time.

But If the “collateral victims” do unite to end this situation, the collapse of the global order will be inevitable too.

Pretty sure they did one for free and it got round to the IRGC and they said “Quit your day job, You got a job making movies now”

Honestly I think it is more a move against europe. China can adjust to a sea blockade by using over land routes, protecting sea convoys, lowering their exports, and rejiggering their oil usage.

Europe has no plans and no resources other than a bunch of people. I think the plan is for usa to deprive them of their energy and convince them to go take West Asia and Africa with human wave attacks. Remember hegseth’s speech to europe? They want another crusade, just as hamfisted and poorly planned as the last ones, and this time they want it to go all the way to South Africa so elon can go back to slave labor emerald mining.

usa learned that the best way to be king is to make everyone else fight eachother. They don’t want to get in a confrontation with China. They want to make confrontations between everyone that pull China and Russia into them.

Aww poor babies are scared of Yemenis? One of the poorest nations on earth and big bad usa can’t even get withing eye shot of them without their laundry rooms bursting into flames.

“We have the greatest system of kill don’t we folks?” fucking idiot.

Francis Scott Key Bridge was damaged 749 days ago, They have only cleared the rubble and are supposedly 70% done with the new design.

Piracy can only be done by privately owned boats not state actors. There is no term for when a state starts stealing privately owned ships. (because its stupid)

What usa is doing is the crime of aggression which is forbidden by the UN charter. They are just saying they plan on committing aggression against privately owned ships of more nations. But since the UN charter is a dead letter there will be no legal repercussions.

I imagine that China and Russia will start escorting convoys. Then some american owned boat is gonna get taken by plausibly deniable pirates and we will likely end up in a world where all shipping will happen under guard.

Took them long enough. Like do they not understand the existential threat they are under?

Bomb Bomb bomb, Bomb Bomb, Iran. (this is a request for Iran to resume bombing not for Iran to be bombed)

I hope: Iran is going to use the lack of a ceasefire in Lebanon as a pretext to hit us in the middle of its preparations. usa is probably still mustering forces like they did before the invention of drone war. They are going to all be clustered together thinking they are safe and Iran is going to hammer them with missliles and drones leading to a mass casualty event that makes pearl harbor look like a picnic.

They are certainly trying to plan something but I think the facts on the ground are making it impossible. The lack of paths forward is what is driving the high pizza count.

Embassy of Iran in Bulgaria @IRANinBULGARIA We know breaking your word is in your nature, but we also know how to make you stick to your commitments.

Don’t feel too bad. It was always a long shot that a ceasefire arranged through a 3rd party was going to last. The fact that it was even a momentary pause is a good sign. What it shows is that Iran’s strategy is working. The breach is also causing internal rifts on the imperialist side.

Israel knows how easily it can be flattened if it pulls something.

Iran showed them in June how easily they could be flattened. It didn’t stick. Being told that they will be nuked will not matter. israelis are immune to “deterrence.” Every time they get deterred they forget why they stopped in a few days or weeks and then they go right back. Having a nuke does nothing except insure that nukes will be used. They are supremacists and exceptionalists, they believe the rules of reality do not apply to them.

The Nukes will only be used if Iran is nuked first.

What would stop them using them in a first strike? Morality? Law? Morality is not a constant. Laws can be changed. If Iran have nukes any missile could be armed with a nuke. israel would have to treat each one like they are under nuclear attack.

If a nuke goes off in occupied Palestine all of Palestine get irradiated killing millions of people including Palestinians as well as people in neighboring countries. That doesn’t help anyone. Iran’s current set of tools are working perfectly fine why would they cut off their ability to use them?

They need nukes. This whole situation would’ve never happened if Iran had nukes.

This whole thing would have happened sooner if they had started building nukes. That has been the israeli narrative for starting war with Iran for decades.

I don’t think they ever “unblocked” it. They said they would give safe passage but not free passage. The toll booth on the strait is never going away.

The 2 sides aren’t even talking directly. Its all getting passed through Pakistan. All they have a very rough framework of a ceasefire at this point but the details of who it covers and how it works are still really unclear to everyone.

israel will probably continue to use the ambiguity to get some cheap shots in and force Iran to respond. We’ll see pretty quick if that issue gets worked out or if this ceasefire is stillborn.

If they have nukes every missile they fire has to be treated as a potential nuke. Even if they have nukes they dont have ICBMs they dont have nuclear subs, they don’t have stealth aircraft, so they cant hit usa. Building a nuke is the stupidest thing they could do. They have proven that they don’t need nukes.
