  • That's my understanding of the whole thing as well. There is absolutely zero reason for Iran to settle for anything less than full American withdrawal from the region. There's nothing left to negotiate about at this point, any promises the US makes obviously can't be trusted. And if there's some ceasefire then it just gives time to US and Israel to rebuild. Now that the war is on and Iran controls escalation, they have to go all the way.

    And from American perspective, it would be a colossal humiliation if they're forced to run home with their tail between their legs. It would definitively show the whole world that the US is no longer a superpower that cannot be challenged. All their vassals are already starting to realize that they're expendable, and that the empire can't protect them. So, a withdrawal would mean a complete collapse of American geopolitical position.

    In this way, the war is existential for both Iran and the US. And hence why I don't see either side backing down here until the limitations of material reality catch up to them. My expectation is that the US will end up running out of weapons before Iran does. They're already heavily depleted in Ukraine, American weapons are far more expensive to produce, and they have to be shipped across the ocean. Iran has a huge advantage fighting on their home turf. On top of that, every radar, warehouse, and ammo storage depot that Iran destroys worsens future logistics for the US. Weapons, ammunition, food, and fuel have to be stored somewhere, and if these facilities are being systematically dismantled, that's a nightmare for the US army.

  • Yeah, and if the original ones got destroyed, what makes them think these ones won't?

  • Could Iran war confirm China’s prediction on US military’s hypersonic nightmare?

    Jump

  • Exactly, I get the impression that most people don't realize how sophisticated Iran is technologically. They're one of the few countries that can put stuff into orbit as well.

  • Thing is that all gas is going to go up in price because demand is inelastic, and supply has shrink significantly. It might not be existential, but it's certainly going to raise prices.

  • Once Russia defeats Ukraine, I think it's very possible that Hungary and Slovakia are going to end up exiting the EU and joining BRICS. Right now, they're surrounded by hostile countries, and have no direct route to the east, but once Ukraine falls the situation changes completely. And I think at that point, other countries might follow as well.

  • How Many Soldiers Died in the Ukraine War? (2022–2026)

    Jump

  • Oh for sure, it's likely that the casualty ratio favors Russia because of systemic advantages Russia enjoyed. But even if we accept a roughly 1:1 ratio, this is an utter disaster for Ukraine. Him exposing how they cook the numbers was really interesting though. They basically did a big data dump, and just banked that nobody would go through it thoroughly the way these guys did to uncover all the data quality issues.
