> they will NOT have these ballistic missiles and they will NOT have these drones to threaten us.

What do they think is going to happen?
Russia is going to have a sudden change of heart and decide to stop supplying them?
They're gonna turn in their missiles in the stockpile?
Gun buyback program?

@restful @cjd @caekislove >>Weren't the Irainians supplying Russia with drones for Ukraine?

Initially until the Russians started manufacturing their own version, which they have massively improved, the Russians are now experimenting with miniature jet engines, missile launch systems and more, I won't be surprised if they have passed back some of the new designs to the Iranians.

@restful @cjd @caekislove Confirmed.

>>🇷🇺🇮🇷Suddenly, the Russian jamming-resistant receiver “Komet-M” was found in the wreckage of the Iranian kamikaze drone Shahed-136, which attacked the British Air Force airbase “Akrotiri” in Cyprus.

>>Similar "Komet" systems are installed on drones, bombs, and missiles that strike targets in Ukraine.

>>Apparently, improvements to the original Iranian drones have been transferred back to Russia. This is an extremely interesting moment, if it's true - finally, Russia has an opportunity to indirectly retaliate for all the weapons supplies to Ukraine from the West.

Out of all the parties, the US is probably the least interested. But the only way out is to just walk away from the middle east, which means walking away from the US empire.

It's plausible that Trump may have started this because he wants to destroy the empire now rather than let it collapse later. The Swamp is built on top of the empire, and destroying it now will destroy his enemies before they can destroy him. It's a long shot but it's not utterly impossible.

More plausible that Israel would like to kill the US empire in order to ascend to power in the middle east.

Now as soon as the US starts to flounder, Israel is going to NEED to step up in a big way, in order to achieve their strategic objectives.

Something I think has a very high likelihood of happening is Israel declares:
1. All Jews are Israeli citizens
2. All Israeli citizens are required to serve in the military
3. Therefore all Jews are required to report to Israel immediately to begin training

And cynical European governments will take one look at this and say "By George, he's right!"

Nukes won't do anything against the Iranian combatants, they're not in Tehran. This war is going to be fighting Iranian hillbillies in the mountains. Nuking mountains is just a fast way to use up all of your nukes.

However, if they introduce nuclear warfare into the equation, then it allows Russia and North Korea to supply the Iranians, which is HELL because Israel, KSA, UAE, etc are all FULL of high value targets.

@cjd @caekislove @Dicey @restful Exactly Nukes are great for two things, destroying cities or erasing large concentrations of soldiers. They do nothing against the terrain, and Iran is way to large.

Battles are not fought by large number of soldiers anymore, and obliterating cities is the recipe for the entire world to zerg rush Israel.

The US government is in really bad shape.

Military is pretty small, bad recruitment, terrible image.

Draft is unthinkable. Ever since the 70s, Americans are known to shoot draft officers - and if they're drafted, they shoot their commanding officer once deployed.

I think they're going to try a really dumb tactic and use illegals. Promise them citizenship for service, give them 2 weeks of training and parachute them into Iran. It absolutely will not work, but if you're desperate and stupid, you can convince yourself that it might.
