US Destroyer disabling a cargo's ship engine. Better with sound.https://litter.catbox.moe/ho6as0gmr2wj7l52.mp4
>>65089955It would have been much more cool if they didnt back off before opening up.
>>65089993It could be loaded with explosives trying to blow up near a frigate. Best to stand clear.
>>65089955Israel bros we keep winning
>>65089955Which type of cannon is doing this?
>>65090022https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-inch/54-caliber_Mark_45_gunhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Spruance_(DDG-111)
How do they know where the engine room is at?
piracy
>>65090040Neat.
>>65090053They just guess and take pot shotsWhen it stops moving so much they know they've got the right room.
>>65090086Pool's closed ahmed.
>>65090053Either know the layout of the target ship, or at aim at the waterline between the stack and stern. Pretty good chance of hitting the machinery. >>65090086Mercantile warfare is nothing new.
>>65090003>Panamax SVBIEDThats cool. Could probably cram a lot of fertilizer in there.
>>65090086So? Do something brownoid. You can't
>>65090053It's right under the funnel.
>>65090118Think it'd be able to top the Halifax Explosion?
>>65090053>cargo takes up most of the interior>has to be near water linePretty easy to guess.
>>65090086>randomly flinging missiles and drones at ships that don't do what we want is OK>deliberately announcing and then enforcing a blockade is piracy
>>65090170>Halifax rates 2.9kt>Rhosus in Beirut was 1.1kt>Rhosus only had 2750tons of fertilizer>Panamax usually carry 50000t>can go up to 80000t Oh baby. I recall some Russian ship was getting denied ports in northern Europe a few years ago because of risks.
>>65090086Blockades are legal during a conflict.
>>65090170>>65090196i am now very aroused
>>65090196assuming a linear relationship it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 125ktI'm sure there are losses as you scale up, but it'd be a pretty big boom regardless
>>65090212there's no war
>>65090280
>>65090291we're the ones saying there's no war chud
>>65090196>>65090268Wonder if that could trigger a tsunami if near land
>>65089955This is why all USN ships need guns.
>>65090320i think the energy released in even a smaller earthquake compared to nukes is a vast ocean of difference.
>>65090320yes
>>65090330I guess i should have specified something more akin to a landslide displacement tsunami, not a traditional one. Thinking about it I would assume the shockwave above water would do more than the moving water.
>>65090338>landslide displacement tsunamiwould probably be really dependent on the profile of the seafloor. if we had a robotnik tier super villan at the helm (as we should) he'd probably set up both the boat and the boom at the optimum setting for something like that. otherwise i don't think anything that cool would happen.
>>65090338>>65090352As shown at Halifax, the blast displaces a large amount of water, and creates a tsunami when it rushes back into the void. See the second paragraph >>65090332
>>65090371>town gets leveled>then flooded
>>65089955What will they do when China starts escorting their tankers with warships?
>>65090499You won't do shit, Chang
>>65090506I'm American. I just think it would be funny.
>>65090512To watch chinese ships turn tail and run? It would be hilarious, which is why they won't do it.
>>65090523Chinese lives are disposable. They'll make a suicide run. If the US doesn't cuck, it will be a tactical US victory but China will be able to use it to build a coalition. The US doesn't have an appetite for a real war since it will only accelerate antisemitism.
>>65090545And if one of them makes it? It'll be a propaganda bonanza, why give them the chance? Nothing ever happens is the best outcome for anyone.
>>65090567How exactly would they make it? Do you think a tanker is going to outrun a warship?
>>65089955When you use catbox, remember to select file life longer thamn 1 hour.
>>65090086>ahahaha pool's closed amerimutts (sowing)>p-p-please no! This is p-p-p-p-piracy (reaping)
>>65090499>whencan they even make it to the strait?
>>65090499Then they become directly involved and place their ships at risk. Either through confrontation with the USN, exposure to mines, or risk of fire by a trigger happy IRGC.
>>65090499Oh shit anon, I don't know, maybe they'll just continue to enforce the blockade?
>>65090053they know where the engine room is because they know where it isn't
>>65089955Uhhh isn’t this illegal according to international law?
>>65090597why would you want them to?
>>65089955Great, now what?Do they just leave an immobile cargo ship adrift in already crowded and congested waters?Seems pretty irresponsible and dangerous
>>65090617Why wouldn't I?
>>65090615In this particular instance, no. That's why brown people seethe so much about international laws, because they don't understand context.
>>65090632They landed Marines on board and seized control of the ship. Also>adrift
>>65090632Marines boarded and seized it...which they could have done without the Navy disabling the ship. After that they would have to tow the ship somewhere else. Otherwise, capturing it intact would mean they could either convince the crew to sail elsewhere or bring a prize crew aboard.
>>65090086I wish.
>>65090647>which they could have done without the Navy disabling the shipTurns out that container ships are a lot more of a bitch to board than tankers. You're landing on a small, elevated, completely exposed platform at perfect altitude for the bridge to engage in grazing fire through the DZ, and then you have to rappel down the gaps into another set of corridors. And that's all assuming that nobody gets the Blackburn experience when the helm does the funny in the middle of trying to put people on top of your postage stamp of a target. And when a ship is being non-compliant in the face of a destroyer sitting right there making threats of force against them, those are very real possibilities you need to consider.
>>65090665That's fair enough. And the destroyer was trying to order them for six hours before opening fire. Even then, they only tried to disable the machinery.
>>65090665Yea they got warned for 6 hours.
>>65090499Nothing because you can't do shit chang.
>>65090512>I'm American
>>65090499>Thinking that the PLN can project power beyond the first island chain.I shiggy my diggy.
Commerce Raider bros, we are so back!
>>65090612But Anon, they used a gun, not a missile...
>>65090499>What will they do when China starts escorting their tankers with warships?>fucking with US botesYou ready to go nukular, Chang?
>>65090022>>65090040>>65090095https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPd9XTSuFDc
>>65090499>>65090545This would be tantamount to China entering the war on Iran's side. Which is exactly why they will attempt no such thing.
>>65090320Nah you want your energy at the bottom of the ocean for that, not the surfaceFor surface explosions most of the energy goes up and away from the water, following the path of least resistance
>>65090638They're so used to breaking it themselves and and used to the fact that western nations rather not upset the status quo. They get away for it for so long it that they forget the fact that they were always the ones starting shit to begin with.
>>65090545A coalition with who? Russia?North Korea?Iran?
>>65090615International law hasn't been a thing since Russia invaded Ukraine
>>65090638>they don't understand contextthey only use international law as a pretext to chisel shit out of youunlike us, they never use it to limit themselves and prosecute their own people, only yoursit's the shopping cart test writ large
>>65090756>fucking with US boteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
>>65090813>yeah guys remember the time they fucked up in the fog of war and formally apologized and paid reparations?
>>65090665If you're old enough to remember the cargo ship missions from TFTD, you understand.
>>65090836I just had a violent urge to strangle you just for mentioning them.
>>65090817>"I was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation. Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander. Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous."the US secretary of state wasn't very satisfied with the apology
>>65090863And almost half of the Supreme Court doesn't agree with any given ruling. It's cute that you think it means anything.
>>65090855Hey, now, I didn't even bring up the cruise ship terror missions.
>>65090872so, the lesson is, you CAN fuck with US botes and kill a few dozen sailors (as long as it's in the US' interests to pretend it never happened)
>>65090874Fortunately I exclusively play X-Piratez these days, so I can just roll up to the ship missions with nukes and fuck everything.(Who the FUCK signed off on making the TFTD blaster bomb not work out of water?)
>>65090884The US is the most prolific generator of friendly fire outside of the Russian sphere, it would be rather hypocritical to sink a relationship over somebody else having a fucky wucky.
>>65090886Wow... I had never even heard of that. Thanks!
>>65090499sink the warships
>>65090892Sometimes, you just need to feed some Brits to an A10
>>65090896Drop by /vst/ sometime, there's always an old-COM thread up.
>>65090892>>65090900The Brits started it with Typhoons in WW2
>>65090892>Only country that actually conducts complex military operations on the regular has the highest number of incidents that occur during such operations
>>65090905>The Brits
>>65090914It's a self-effacing funny-because-it's-true, man. Lay off.
>>65090102Yep. Pool's closed. Which is the absolute worst outcome for this war. Which was going to be "over very quickly" and the "cost of the Iran war is negligible" because Iran will be faced with "unconditional surrender" while we "take their oil", and "choose the next government" after we got the "nuclear dust" and the "people of iran rise up". You don't hate MAGA idiots enough.
>>65090921The war isn't over yet.
>>65089955wtf they're firing on an unarmed ship
>>65090930True. The damage will continue to compound.
>>65090499When is this happening? 2037?
>>65090936To Iran, yes.
>>65090053Thermals would probably light it up like the sun.
>>65090499Immediate strategic first-strike against China to affect its total annihilation.
>>65090053Jesus Christ you people are retarded
>>65090638>>65090788>>65090812I wonder if you people seriously believe it or if you are just shitposting. Tbf nowadays there is no difference for some people.
>>65090952International law is, always has been, and always will be what the most powerful nation(s) will tolerate.
>>65090738No faggot, this is blockade enforcement, call me again when they are sinking Iranian flagged merchies outside the straight in international waters. Then yeah, hoist the black flag.
>>65090793International law has never been a thing.
>>65090952go ahead and show me turdie nations' ROEs, and instances when they prosecuted their officers for warcrimes.go on.Pallywoodnians are the best example. they cry about muh warcrimes all the time, until it's time to commit them, then they say it's a "right to resist".
>>65090921MFW the maduro raid went so well 2 months is now considered a long time for a war.
>>65090956Am I a joke to you?
>>65090964Not commerce
>>65090959Next you will say some shit about what un nations peacekeepers rape children the most like that has any kind of pattern.

>>65090964Lmao I forgot about that. But like the other faggot said she was a warship.
>>65090967oh yeah, move them goalposts, boys
>>65090964I understand the sentiment, but the difference between sinking Iranian warships and sinking Iranian merchies is a fine line, but the world nowadays loves splitting such hairs
>>65090102>>65090129I'm a US veteran. Meanwhile you have done nothing for this country except perpetuate a cult violating the Constitution daily.
>>65090987Haha holy shit, go to bed, boomer, you have to get up early for your gas walk.
>>65090987thank you for your cervix o7
>>65090952I would call not understanding the difference between "warcrime" and just "war is hell" a brown trait, but let's face it, that's just normies in general.
>>65090884>so, the lesson is, you CAN fuck with US botes and kill a few dozen sailors as long as you pay millions in reparations for each one and issue a formal apologyyes, you're welcome to do that turdie and see how it goes
>>65090999>millions in reparations for each one$97,000 approximately according to wikipedia, not even a million per death adjusted for inflation
>>65091006that's about 9 years' median salary in 1970, just sayingequivalent to about $800,000 today
>>65091008I mentioned inflation adjustment, what is the purpose of your reply? You didn't bring any new information.
>>65090964Actually, yea, that was fucking hysterical
>>65091006>In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($31.3 million in 2025) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($23.4 million in 2025) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.funny how you forgot to mention that
>>65091012How is that funny? I took autistic exception to a false statement.
>>65090086Not piracy if it's state sanctioned sweaty :)
>>65091014you being so obsessed with trying to spin USS liberty as some kind of gotcha that allows turdies to fuck with shipping despite constantly moving goalposts to pretend it wasn't compensated for will never stop being funny to me.
>>65091009raw numbers are meaningless. what is 100,000? what is 10,000?even citing the number alongside a year doesn't provide much new information in and of itself.
>>65090086remember when Iran still had a navy that could somewhat challenge a stand off blockade ? But they didnt really need a navy did they ?
>>65091017If you are trying to dunk upon people you should endeavor to be correct. I'm not defending iranian shitskins nor really attacking kikes (although I'm not going to pretend to like them).>>65091020>raw numbers are meaninglessA statement was made (kill a few dozen sailors as long as you pay millions in reparations for each one) and this was incorrect, stop trying to weasel out of it.

>>65090053All bulk ships are built basically the same, where the engine is right in front of the propellers at the rear to make the prop shaft shorter for less steel and maintainance costs, but also even if it wasn't they're mass produced in the thousands, and every sailors mum knows them in and out because none of the cheap Indian/Ukrainian crew in them gives a shit about opsec.

>>65090647>>65090665>>65090672The helicopter party came from the Iwo Jima carrier and had to be brought closer hours later. I wonder if Iran knew that destroyer didn't have a helicopter or means to board. Now USN have a large disabled vessel that will need towing, demining and repairs to move, probably rendered worthless and rented by the Iranians anyway. Very good chance they'll scuttle it.

>>65090615International law is the victors facing the whiners in court, and pulling their dicks out, saying we won, fucking deal with it, and the whiners leaving whiners.
>>65091072>Well th Beirut 2020 Explosion was caused by 2750 tons of ammonia nitrate confiscated off of the MV Rhosus so ther is some viability to it.It wasnt all the 2750 tons that went off. The warehouse was on fire and some of it burned up before the explosion. The ammonium nitrate was shipped in the form of small balls, unclear how small, but there was this recovered cell phone video taken from the roof of a building right next to the warehouse fire. You can hear the balls go pop.........pop....pop...pop.pop.poppopopop and then booooooooom and the video becomes fuzzy as the phone goes airborne.
>>65091769I just add that the retards stored the ammonium nitrate improperly in an open warehouse exposed to the elements. Browns are gonna brown
>>65091776Lebbos aren't brown though
>>65091737>>south asia part of greater china now!!you asked me what would a mix of chink and nigger be and got a straight answer, what is this schizobabble response?
>>65091803A Brown is a brown. All muzzies are 60iq browns
>>65090665Literally how does any of that logic apply? They hit the engine room with the 5", there was nothing done to eliminate a field of fire issue for the DZ before the marines landed. These ships are massive and don't make sudden moves. If a helicopter can land on a moving carrier or destroyer, it can land on a cargo ship. Let's also not forget the precedent of the US already doing this to shadow fleet tankers during the Venezuela conflict without firing a shot. This was a show of force. Tactically speaking there was no need to disable the ships engines.
>>65091024What the fuck? This is a real promo video?
>>65089955truly the niggers of the high seas
>>65090962I'm sure Trump and his ilk thought it was gonna be another quick victory like Venezuela tho, which is why this whole thing is retarded. You can tell they didn't plan for a protracted war, given that they started pulling economic levers once they realized maritime shipping disruptions are kind of a big deal.Levers like easing sanctions on Russian (and Iranian fucking kek) oil, putting a 60-day pause on the Jones Act, and tapping into the strategic reserves to save face domestically about gas prices.
>>65089955I get boarding it but not disabling the main space. Now what, like take it under tow with a DDG? Just let it drift? You can't even put a prize crew on to drive it to a district court, they are not going to be able to repair a BLP round or three through a slow speed diesel. Could *maybe* repair a shaft break but that's a big maybe and the mk45 isn't that accurate.
>>65089955Dem/pol/crats having a very, very bad day right now.
>>65091877what news, anon?
>>65090086Either be our ally or pay us rent for squatting on OUR OCEANS (all oceans belong to the USA). >>65090987You got a dishonorable discharge for jerking off to how you wanted to Dirlewanger women and children and trying to assemble a group to do so, I know your lore faggot.
>>65091017One way thirdies cope with the disparity between how powerful they imagine they are and how powerful they keep seeing the US actually is, is by claiming that, no actually a small country can control a large one and that if they defeat the much smaller and closer Israel then the US will explode due to some kind of kabbalic financial bomb tied to our economy. Once you understand the psychology behind it everything makes sense.
>>65091861Im pretty sure everything is going as planned. What that plan is i dont know, but its clear based on trump using iranian izzat hacks in the negotiation to keep forcing them to reject the deal to save face that its part of some plan. I dont imagine its just to expose how unreasonable they are to the world since there are few people whos opinion will be swayed by reality on this matter, but its clearly calculated.
>>65091883Constant proof the Big Beautiful Blockade works and Iranian interdiction doesn't. All those Pool's Closed memes are coming back with an erection and no lube straight for /pol/s goatholes.
>>65091899you can feel the angry tears in the demoshit shills here as they try to argue that pallets of cash was a better strategy.
>>65092007It's straight up insane how badly they wanted Iran to get a nuke so they could go "Oh well, nothing we can do now; I guess Iran is the greatest power Middle East and we have to live with it :^)" Then the same motherfuckers who were staining their khakis at the idea of a cowed US having terms dictated to it by a bitter enemy cry crocodile bitch tears about how Trump is totally ending our global hegemony for real you guys ;_;
>>65090053They snuck all the way over with frog diver mens. They snuck right in an took a pitcher of the engine, then the stairs to it, then the door out, and glued it to the missile in a SD card.Then they fucked the missile.Someone eventually used the deck gun.
>>65092059>It's straight up insane how badly they wanted Iran to get a nuke so they could go "Oh well, nothing we can do now; I guess Iran is the greatest power Middle East and we have to live with it :^)"this is what pisses me off about the anti-war friends I have toothey're not stupid people, they can understand the nuclear problem, it's just their minds just ran up against the "no war" barrier and the cognitive dissonance made them unable to carry the argument to the logical conclusionfortunately my family isn't like that, so I don't feel like an utterly lone voice of reason in a world happily running itself off the cliff along with all the other lemmings
>>65090499"What will [they] do...">>65090512"I'm American"One more clown from brown town.
>>65092059When you understand it is all about a worldview where strength and whiteness make you evil, not your own actions, everything makes sense. Iran not getting nukes is a genuine tragedy for them and their Axis of Resistance.
>>65090499Add the warships to our collection? Since they're Chinese I'm sure they'll be sinking already and as grateful for the rescue as their tiny chink hearts can be.
>>65090545What coalition? And Chinese lives are only disposable to the Chinese whose lives aren't being disposed of, there will be no NIPPON BANZAI chink equivalent, the Chinese are the most selfish people on Earth.
>>65090581Love this image. Love this post.
>>65091811Pilpul. /pol/ long ago was a place where facts would be presented and conclusions forbidden by society drawn from them. Now it's a place where the conclusions are already drawn and the only question is how they use the current situation as evidence for it. Like any other leftists, they believe that if you chant a phrase loudly enough and drown out reality, your chant becomes the new reality. Iran is winning because they want Iran to be winning and chant Iran is winning. It does not matter what the US does, every asset destroyed becomes unneeded retroactively, every leader vestigial, every loss a mere prelude to the victory that ever dances like a heat mirage on the horizon. Look at the standards for winning, look at how their goalposts shift, and tell me I am wrong. /pol/ became a leftist thirdie board the moment it forsook facts for feelings.
>>65091859Howso? Boats are the white man's delight.
>>65092144The problem with the "nuke" question is that the US goals have been unclear because I don't think Trump actually cares. He torpedoed the original nuclear deal from the Obama admin, and then started this war with one of the talking points being "muh nukes" after already telling the world it was taken care of back in 2025 with the bombing campaign. So in that regard I can understand the liberals being utterly baffled by the nuclear angle for justification.
>>65092252>Nuclear dealThat was just handing them money to spend on their nuclear development while they promised they weren't spending it on nuclear development, don't pretend that shit was a deal, shill. It was Obama desperately begging Islamic leaders to like him because he was abandoned by his Muslim dad like the sad little cuck he is.
>>65092262Okay man, whatever. I get it he wore a tan suit, was born in Kenya, and puts children in cages. Are you gonna address the second half of that post about the 2025 bombing or just keep sperging out?
>>65092278None of that has to do with the fact that he funded Iran building a nuke and called it a deal because Iran, famously honest, promised they weren't building a nuke, and then you shills cried like children when Iran no longer got that nuke funding because "we had a deal". You're as transparent as glass, tranny.
>>65092278>no you can't bomb us more than once for trying to build a nuke and slaughtering our own people and trying to control the Strait this is a war crime kaffirtoo bad so sad

>>65090545>Chinese lives are disposable.They most definitely are not. The one child policy utterly fucked China's demographics, with parents choosing to have one male that is expected to take care of the family and provide for the parents economically when they age. Xi Ping-pong and the CCP sending those glorified retirement plans to get killed is a surefire way of having mass protests and uprisings in Chiner against Xi and his cronies. Something the CCP doesn't want, and can't afford. You're just an uneducated know-nothing idiot.

>>65092252Trump has been consistently against Iran getting a nuke since the 80s. I genuinely think he's baffled the Iranians are so insistent on a nuclear program. And, at least from the public record, the Iranians have revealed themselves to be much more committed to a nuke these past few months than previously realized. Further, their response to the war by attacking over a dozen countries, shooting at civilian ships, waging economic war on planet earth, while gunning down its own citizens like dogs proves Iran should never have a nuclear weapon.

>>65089955So is oil moving through the strait? I feel like people genuinely have two perceptions of reality on this, or maybe it’s a script trying to gaslight people into believing that this war is going well? If the US commits we’ll win eventually, but if anyone genuinely thinks that this was a well-executed plan and that the US is maintaining the initiative they’re delusional.
>>65093156I agree. here in the Kentucky state region I john normalson have lost faith in pedophile Trump. These are my actual views come to by careful video evidence and not a cope because white women don’t have sex with someone as brown and limp wristed as me
>>65092059Not one of them has ever quantified why having hegemony is a good thing if we spend all of our time being financially exploited by our vassals.
>>65092543Iran has noticed that all the vile dictators who abuse their people who don't have nukes tend to get overthrown, while Kim in North Korea has actively made the dystopian surveillance and slave state much worse and harder to escape than before and is completely secure in his power with what nuclear program he has, they don't need to match the US' arsenal, just get close enough to Kim's level that nobody is willing to touch them.
>>65093156Name a better plan or shut the fuck up, especially when the only alternative presented is to fund Iran's nuclear program in exchange for them promising not to build nukes with it. This has the most one-sided and successfully prosecuted war in history, and that isn't an exaggeration, but there is so much armchair quarterbacking because of the TDS involved.
>>65090948EFFECT, you illiterate swine
>>65093388>Name a better planNot starting the war in the first place
>>65093388>This has the most one-sided and successfully prosecuted war in historyA successfully prosecuted war is one in which the political objectives have been achieved, no?
>>65093381Kimmy boy isn't safe because he has nukes, he's safe because he realized that the vile dictators who abuse their people get overthrown when they decide to be too much of a pain in the ass to be allowed to continue with their business, and as a result, has largely stopped antagonizing the West and the US outside of the occasional border guard doing something retarded. Meanwhile, Iran decided to not only make trouble constantly, but doubled down on it even as their proxies were getting neutered, and it turns out the West isn't going to tolerate a state who regularly gives their most advanced weapons to terrorist and other non-state actors to have nukes that they might decide to slip to Ahmed some day.
>>65093407>have nukes that they might decide to slip to Ahmed some dayWill literally never happenIrrational behaviour for a state that cannot be reasonably argued
>>65090921100% this dude was posting "TACO!!! HAHHA!!!" a few days ago.
>>65093438>Will literally never happenCorrect, because Iran won't be allowed to get nukes. Irrational behavior has been Iran's MO for the past decade, and ever since the great Hamas chimpout of Oct 7th, Iran has decided to ignore every off ramp to deescalate but instead threw more and more fuel on the fire instead. You'd think when the Houthis hit a shipment of grain food aid being sent to Iran, they'd have considered arming the retards shooting at everything that they could see, but Iranian leadership aren't rational actors but instead willing to slit their own nation's throat to make a pool of blood the great Satan might dirty his boots in.
>>65093396So what happens when Iran gets a nuke and gets aggressive with its neighbors? Not just Israel, but the whole region. What happens when China's proxy starts collecting tolls while it has a Navy and ships that can set mines, not trying impotently to do so after they've all been blown up? Something had to be done about Iran at some point, if they couldn't overthrow their own government. Bolton was wrong for wanting to do it in a way that would unite the whole Middle East against us and without solid objectives, not for saying Iran was a problem. Netanyahu was wrong for wanting the US to tank all of the damage Iran could inflict and do all the work and give him all the land, not for saying that the US and Israel would have to hit Iran someday. >>65093400Absolutely correct, and they seem to be heading that way. Iran's surviving governmental leftovers will refuse their way into irrelevance over whatever the Persian equivalent of face or izzat is and whoever ends up running the country will be a fresh regime, and that was the only objective that is even in question at this point. It also seems to be a war where time favors the US, as Iran is dependent on a bluff that gets more threadbare as it is called more often, as China seems to be unwilling or unable to help Iran the way that the USSR helped Vietnam, and as global oil routes increasingly tilt towards America. It also meets a domestic political objective of the administration, separating out loyal allies from disloyal allies and creating a problem for disloyal allies that can be used as a political cudgel (consider how often the admin harps on Europe for not having a proper military). Even Trump doesn't want the war to end because he can use it to shame disloyal parties at home.
>>65093407Kim is happy to behave because in the first term Trump sat down with him and charmed him and made him feel like a fellow world leader and told him that he can live out the remainder of his life in peace as unquestioned king of his little state as long as he behaves, and then persuaded Kim he would kill him if he did try to act up. There is a reason why Kim was happy to throw missiles around when Biden was in office. Also Kim really doesn't have regional proxies, that's another difference.
>>65093530The part that pisses me the most off, is that Israel has no interest in participating in ANY kind of ground action despite knowing from the onset that it was likely to be required at some point. This is the shit that really gets to me.
>>65093636It's a measure of how off-base a certain other board's understanding seems to be of the relationship between Netanyahu and Trump, that Israel is having to actually do much of the fighting itself and take the associated casualties.

>>65089955Uhhh, multipolar sisters, do we have any epic memes to post in response to this?????
>>65093530There's no point arguing with these media cucked morons. They have no concept of reality outside of what the TV presents. In their mind orange man is bad, Iran dindu nuffin and USA is losing an unjust war. They genuinely believe this.They have no concept of free passage, the consequences of nuclear armament proliferation, the atrocities of the Iranian regime, etc.These are McDonalds fed goyim cattle of the highest order. If the TV told them a common cold would kill them they'd lock themselves in their home and force needles of experimental medicine into the arms of the neighbours to keep their lifestyle going.
>>65094440>They have no concept of free passageThis is the biggest thing these retards are failing (refusing) to understand>Iran wants to collect tolls on a natural waterway that serves every persian gulf country>not collecting tolls on an actual sovereign port or canal but a natural waterway>and threatening military action against those who fail or refuse to pay their tolls aka extortion
besides the nuclear question*, the very fact that Iran had all this time evaded sanctions because nobody dared to blockade the Hormuz shows that they were "collecting tolls" all along, just less overtly*which is the foremost in my mind, because can you imagine a non-zero chance of being nuked every time you fly through Dubai on the way to Asia if ever Iran throws a wobbly like they just did?
>>65093530nigga who fucking cares if Iran has nukes or not? they're only a threat to Israel anyway. North Korea has it and nothing happens
>>65094512>nigga who fucking cares if Iran has nukes or not?The UN and the rest of the world
>>65094512>Only a threat to IsraelTranslation: a threat to Israel, the US, Europe, anyone that recognizes a Jewish staye, etc.
>>65094524>>65094528you know who else has nukes? Russia, China, Israel, Pakistan, and India
>>65094534None of them have shot up their entire local region, fucked up global shipping (twice), and then turned around and asked with a straight face how anyone other than a Zionist could have a problem with their behavior.

>>65093530It throws the bomb into some client state we don't really care for and we can use the resultant casus belli to annex them with full international and public support, vitally securing an important economic route and oil production vector that gives us greater control of the region, especially given we'd be less dependent on OPEC?
>>65093448>willing to slit their own nation's throat to make a pool of blood the great Satan might dirty his boots inIt's fucking baffling how long they were able to keep people going on that.
>>65093636>ground actionThey absolutely will not, they are already getting flak for Lebanon, and ironically Israeli boots on the ground would BENEFIT Iran, as all they have to say is "Israel is invading to genocide and colonize for Greater Zion!" and every durka durka in existence WILL fall for it and flood into Iran turning it into Iraq 2:Electric Boogaloo.
>>65094558>get nukesWhich is how you get bombed into oblivion.
