China Professor just dropped a new video...
* No regime change has ever been achieved by air power alone
* Iran's goal is to destroy critical infrastructure all across the Gulf, b/c stopping the flow of oil stops the flow of Saudi investment into the US
* The US economy is a ponzi scheme which survives on Saudi investment (this makes a lot of sense, because as bad as the real economy is, the stock market always manages to have money)
* One choke-point is water, because it all comes from a handful of centralized desalination plants (terrifying)
* "Shock and awe" only works against enemies who fight like Saddam Hussein, if your enemies fight like the Taliban, it's utterly useless
* Missile interceptors are orders of magnitude more expensive than the missiles themselves, and you need to fire multiple to have a good chance of hitting one missile
* Even if the war is not good for America, it may still be good for Trump personally
* Powerful end-times fanatics will push for war, even if totally irrational, because they're trying to fulfill prophecy
