Classic Social Media panic. Make no mistake, these are real concerns over time, but get through the week before forfeiting the year, as they say.
 
got some video of the crew of the Iranian ship we sunk the other day being recovered, turns out we were far cruler to them than I had imagined

it should be considred a TOP level war crime to sink someone where their closest land is INDIA!

If your in a liferaft and you see a ship full of SRI LANKANS show up? shit id start paddling the other way

There's likely already unannounced US spec ops deploying in Iranian territory, right? Maybe snatching up the enriched uranium or some such high value targets. I recall hearing way back at the start of the attacks that we already know where the uranium is.

There is basically zero chance that we are somehow conducting this campaign WITHOUT SOF units and/or CIA Ground Branch paramilitary types already in country.

Just FYI the azerbaijanis are not very smart people, they fought a war with their neighbor for like 30 years (only ended last year) over one of the STUPIDEST borders in all of creation

Wasn't the CIA involved in giving the bunker locations to strike in Iran?

Mossad has plenty of people who can blend in.

When everyone is Mossad, nobody is, or something something. Mossad successfully psyopping a mutiny among the Iranian armed forces into existence with fake defectors would also be almost as batshit crazy as the pager/walkie-talkie op that wrecked Hezbollah, it would be funny as hell but also ascribe a level of godly cunning to Jews that I am not comfortable giving them. Given the reports of Iranian trigger-pullers not wanting to pull triggers on their neighbors anymore being what precipitated the deployment of foreign auxiliaries from the rest of the Axis of Resistance in January, there's also some precedent for desertion/defection even before US-Israeli bombs started dropping anyway.

On the note of Mossad shenanigans (and certainly this would be a way bigger deal than an Artesh grunt who may or may not be a Mossad agent wearing a fake mustache ski mask defecting), news outlets are beginning to report on Quds Force chief Esmail Qaani having been executed on suspicion of being a Mossad agent himself. This is the guy who keeps miraculously surviving assassination attempts that kill all his friends & co-workers, BTW. Must be stressed however that this isn't fully verified yet, as hilarious as it would be no matter whether he really is on the Jewish payroll or actually innocent of this particular charge.

Those borders weren't their fault, Stalin took N-K away from the Azeris specifically to make both them & Armenia easier to manage by worsening the border conflict between the two. The Azeris also buckbroke the Armenians pretty quickly in 2020, they put psychotic Turkic ferocity (once again I think the story of Ramil Safarov is a pertinent one here) together with Israeli weapons to form a pretty deadly combination.
 
Regardless of who "wins" - I'm making a guess it'll be the ones with a Military Budget of Yes - I just appreciate that I haven't received a single spam call since Uncle Sam decided to start bombing the fuck out of the Middle East again.

It's probably unrelated, but it's a funny coincidence. Supporting a war because it gets rid of a minor inconvenience wasn't on my bingo card, but here we are I guess...

Israel Hayom - On December 29, 2025, Netanyahu and Trump agreed to attack Iran in the summer
Israel Hayom - Trump was very keen to deliver a crushing blow to the ayatollah regime. That's why he informed the protesters that help was on the way. Israel had to moderate him and convince him, through the head of the Mossad, that such a premature attack would do more harm than good.
Israel Hayom - A few weeks ago in Israel, the Intelligence and Air Force were all on their feet, the planes were loaded with bombs, eroding Iranian alertness. And it was precisely in recent days that the alert was lowered, ostensibly to signal that it was not now.
Israel Hayom - Requests were received from Riyadh to attack specific targets in Iran to prevent the continued danger to the kingdom's flagship industry
Israel Hayom - The United Arab Emirates was attacked the most by Iran because Israel handles the long-range ballistic missile stockpile, the UAE is "more international", Iran believes they are more vulnerable, and they are a Muslim country that represents everything that Iran is not
Israel Hayom - One Israeli official described the current relationship with the Americans as a "love story"

Russia's arsenal is not large enough to knock out the US, Canada, and Europe. That's insanity to think otherwise. In a war with Russia most of their focus would be on their Western front. If you factor in interception then Russia might have enough of an arsenal to fuck up Europe. Nuclear doomsday sayers vastly overestimate nuclear arsenals and the actual efficacy of the weapons.

Russia has the largest nuclear stockpile out of the nuclear powers, but what most people don't understand about thermonuclear weapons is they require a LOT of upkeep to remain functional. They aren't a weapon like a rifle where you make it, pack it in cosmoline, and can store it away for 100 years to pull it out when things are really bad. Most thermonuclear weapons require tritium, which is one of the most valuable materials on earth. Ask anyone who has had to replace the night sights on their pistol how expensive the stuff is, and that's just a minute quantity of the stuff in gaseous form. The US spends billions and billions of dollars every year on it's nuclear arsenal to make sure every warhead is ready to use if the time comes. It's part of why our military budget is higher than any other nation on Earth. Russia spends only a fraction of what the US does on it's military. I personally believe most of Russia's nuclear arsenal is non-functional and that they are TERRIFIED of anyone else finding out, which is why they so readily threaten to use them. I'm sure they keep a few of them in a ready state, maybe 10%-20%, but most of them are sitting around with dead tritium since it has a fairly short half-life of 10-15 years.

This seems like a good time for China to make a play for Taiwan, given America is consumed with ack-ing Persians.

Xi just did a fairly high profile general purge, and Taiwan is reporting less violations of their airspace in a long time. I have no illusions that something big is going on in China we normies don't know that the admin does, and this is their best chance to take care of business elsewhere. Besides, it's not like we can't multitask. While Iran is getting sent back to the stone age, we helped Ecuador in a strike against a cartel base in their country:
