A lot of people were very angry about the 13 troops killed during Biden's withdrawal of Afghanistan. To the point of wanting unreal repercussions. These 13 people were brought up (and still are) constantly.

because they died for nothing, during an operation that achieved only retreat and defeat, under circumstances that can only be described as a colossal blunder, a massive fuckup by the leaders and decision makers in charge.
very different situation than dying for victory, during an operation that has already been a massive success in decimating enemy leadership.

"american soldiers died while running away from the hajis because brandon bungled the retreat" leaves a very sour taste in everybodys mouth. "american soldiers died while destroying the DEATH TO AMERICA regime" is much more palatable to everyone involved.

ust reflecting on how those people must think when going into these regions "Im an American, they dont dare attack me cause my country wont stand for an American to be killed" and its not even on ANYONES radar, its like a hyper obscure fact and honestly playing second fiddle to the multiple airbases being struck.

Dude, what the fuck are you even talking about? The world you describe and live in sounds like a cartoon.

I guess the idea is to keep the president alive to negotiate with him. Either that or people go "The regime got their goons destroyed from orbit, time to take over government buildings and reinstate the Shah!"

The only way I see this working is if the US and Israel-just spawn camped down to the local sewage municipal guy for civilian leadership and sergeants in the Artesh/IRGC(or whatever the equivalent is)-and the country disintegrated.

But that would require months of strikes at best-though I could be wrong.

Like Null said upthread, why haven't we been doing it this way the whole time? I was worried for a bit, but it looks like they're actually following through on not getting into "stupid wars and dumb conflicts" by striking so precisely and decisively.

Leaders don't like targeting other leaders because they worry they'll be targeted in return.
What changed was people trying to kill Trump, killing anyone they can whether it's some milquetoast debate bro or children in schools. There's no reason to hold back, there's no honor, no gentleman's agreement, no live and let live with some groups.
Even now instead of toning things down and behaving rationally, they're all planning terror attacks everywhere as seething revenge.

Forgive my ignorance here-but I have seen no evidence the Iranian state is collapsing, spawn camp as many leaders as you like I guess-but the actual organizational apparatus of the IRCG, the clerical body and the civilian leadership doesn't seem remotely destroyed yet.

The regime won't collapse unless people start protesting it in the streets again. That hasn't happened yet but there is an active bombing campaign going on so that doesn't tell us much by itself. I also heard that Pahlavi urged his supporters not to start protesting yet but that the time to do so would be "come soon".
I think once the US/Israel have achieved complete air superiority they'll stop actively bombing things and focus on encouraging people to overthrow the regime. If the people heed the call then the regime will fall, and if they don't it won't. Simple as.

Militarily, FUCKED. Dragging the entire gulf into the "buttfuck Iran NOW" camp has to end in total Iran death.
Leadership wise? It's so crippled. I think we've blapped 2 ayatollas in total so far? There's been a few successors blown up, even the former President from the Bush days, you know the guy. He's fuckin' dead, too. etc etc

An Iranian victory would look like something like mass revolutions in the Gulf States, US bases overrun, and Israel left defenseless as US forces were forced to evacuate the theatre-that's the fantasy third worldist media is pitching. I see no evidence anything like that is occurring.

There's been attacks on embassies all over. Even Japan is hunkering down, I read. US marines opened fire in one, we've got video. And the protestors had guns (though probably hit more of their own tbh judging from the footage)

I mean, many people would rather see tomorrow than be turned to ash, I guess some kind of amnesty would be declared so that things go as smoothly as possible (possibly many even get to keep their jobs idk)

the US is being forced any time now to surrender due to pressure from the gulf states and shit.

Iran has said multiple times now that they both are and aren't in control of the guys who are shelling the gulf states.
If I were, say, the UAE, and there was even a chance you weren't in control of your own military who is currently shelling my cities, why the fuck would I want the guy blowing you up to stop? All that would do is take their targets away, allowing more missiles to be directed at me until the your government gets it shit together (which could be a long time for all I know).

If the Middle East was a neighbourhood Iran are those pieces of shit that are constantly causing trouble having drunken rows at 4am, kids out of control throwing stones at windows and stealing from the local shop.

So when the police show up looking for them, all the neighbours snitch on them and help the cops.
 
Looks like the current impacts in Tel Aviv are cluster missiles. Any sheltered jewis able to comment on the smell inside the cuck bunker? (Not sure if it smells any different to you)

Don't soldiers know they have a chance of dying when they sign up for the military? Do people think soldiers aren't supposed to die?
Click to expand...
I agree in the sense that yeah, soldiers know what they are signing up for and honestly if you ask most armed forces personnel "hey dude, want to participate in the bombing of Iran?" they'll probably be like "HELL YEAH!!!"

Where this becomes dangerous is assuming that they then become expendable because they voluntarily signed up for it.

But all said and done only 6 casualties for 3 days of conventional war is pretty freaking low.

I'm new to the Agenda Free sphere, but he's currently crashing out about how he

"can't just go to the store and buy cams"
"they cut the cams as soon as the alerts go off"
"THERE IS NO TEL-AVIV CAM RIGHT NOW"

This COMPLETELY explains the 48k watching.

my headcanon is that some iranian city will fall into rebel hands at some point in the coming weeks (possibly with US special forces involvement)
then the burgers will airdrop reza pahlavi in there to set up a rebel government and try to raise an army of anti regime iranians. american support (airstrikes, supplies, weapons, intel sharing) would then enable these rebel forces to win their civil war, end the islamic republic, and restore the imperial state of iran.

yeah i know it's a lot of wishful thinking, but i like to dream
 
The best case scenario for Iran at this point is they have enough idiots waiting in the wings to carry on the regime and the people are still too oppressed and afraid to fight back that they exhaust the Americans' attacks and hold out long enough for them to stop. Even if this happens, their military is crippled. The bigger issue is how they continue funding their proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.), or if this causes them to expand their proxies further.
