We’re all cool with that. Go nuts.
Finally war does something helpful.

So what you are trying to say is that the leadership in Iran is using their brain cells and the USA leadership isn’t
You need to have a braincell in order to use it tho. It’s an unfair comparison between the two.

Yeah Iran has been preparing for this for decades and it absolutely shows.
How does it show?
cellular command structure, complete control of the straight with an army that has 1/100th the budget, less than a quarter of the naval fleet of the US, 1/30th the airpower, and has hardly any support in the region compared to pretty much all of europe and the Middle East actively providing support to the US. The U.S. has claimed multiple times it’s stopped Iran’ss ability to fight and that hasn’t been true a single time.
Bro the Iranian navy isn’t a quarter of the naval fleet power of a carrier group much less the whole US Navy
Naval comparison gets a little tricky but the best simple statistic is tonnage or you get silly things like Coast Guard speedboats counting the same in the comparison as a modern destroyer.
They’re bashing millions of dollars in equipment with tens of thousands of dollars in equipment. There is absolutely positively no way for them to win the war but they can make it so prohibitively expensive as to be untenable. That’s the only strategy that ever worked against imperial armies.
No im sorry this sounds too much like strategy.

They got a Stargate?
Anyone downvoting this gif is a bitter jerk. lol
There seem to be a ton lately, probably leaking over from reddit lol
Yes they just plug in into the DHD whenever they want to use it over the space force.
Ask Kaylee Frye.
I’m glad I’m not the only one whose mind went here.
Now I can safely point out that destroying the Stargate would have terrible consequences. The naquadah power source would take out a significant chunk of real estate.
Oh no. Don’t. Not Open AI. Sam Altman is such a cool dude. Just don’t also blow up beloved Jared Kushner at a meeting with his bribe fund too. Or, finally release the Epstein files. All those things would be terrible. Just leave the AI alone. I need RAM prices to be absurdly high otherwise I’ll have fun.
Oh god, what if they bombed silicon valley? We would have no choice but to surrender.
Hot damn. Dont threaten me with a good time!
I have to say, somehow I missed where openAI was building this until the war news.
Yeah same, I kinda just thought they were building it in Texas or something. But apparently, its being built in Abu Dhabi
That’s because it was announced as a US AI infrastructure project that would generate jobs in the US etc. They started looking into other locations really quickly. But I guess a lot will still be in Texas.
Oh come on Iran, there’s like only 3 places DT is always at.
Trump is the least competent opponent Iran could wish for.
The allies, in WWII had a similar choice. They decided not to kill Hitler. At that point he was making enough mistakes that his replacement would be sufficiently more competent to outweigh the benefits.
Right now, Iran is a quite limited war. Going after trump would massively escalate it. Iran doesn’t want mushroom clouds over multiple cities.
Killing a head of state isn’t actually effective. E.g. the ongoing 🇮🇷 war.
Iran please free us from the great tech Satan
Please. It’s my birthday tomorrow
We’re not shortly after you. This will definately be a celebration, in deed!
Interesting concept. Large countries are controlled by wealthy people and corporations, but even a small country has more resources than many larger businesses. So, a small country can threaten businesses that control a larger country in order to influence the larger country.
So, there are two outcomes that I can see. Either the larger country is played by the smaller country, or the larger country pays even more to the business, causing further inequality and dissatisfaction among the masses. Or I guess the large country could abandon the business. So that’s three obvious possibilities.
