  • Surplus 90s equipment and lack of 21st century AMRAAMs is not a serious effort to back Ukraine.

    They didn’t even give the F-16s until it was literally too late to make a difference.

    I still remember a horrendous reddit article post of everyone championing Ukraine receiving a measly couple hundred ATGMs fom the UK as if that was going to do anything against Russia.

    If the US was serious about their offer, they would have provided several squadrons of aircraft, training, the new AIM-260, muntions, etc etc.

    While Ukraine was drowning in technology transfer blocks, they shipped all of that stuff to Israel no questions asked.

    And for money mind you. Ukraine was still able to fund those purchases at the time.



  • I feel like if Iran really wants nukes fast, they should just ship that uranium and some cash to NK to have it enriched to weapons grade.

    Maybe exchange the missile technology for their warhead design too.

    Cuz even though we already are highly aware the US is lying when they say it could be refined super easily in the middle of a war, any attempt to do so would immediately get noticed and promptly bombed.

    Actually a funnier idea would be to place a bunch of fake inflatable enrichment cylinders in some random location in the mountains so that the US and Israel waste their muntions on a fake encirchment facility lol.

    Not even to protect the real one, just to make them turn their attention away from everything else and bomb an empty mountain.






  • It would be spectacular if Iran destroys the petrodollar.

    The US economy has been essentially immune to such crashes because they can just print more money since everyone trades in USD. 2008 was financially devastating for the average person, but banks maked a metric ton of money and the government bailed them out of any losses.

    But one of the big reasons everyone trades in USD is because all of the oil shill states only sell for USD, and they only sell for USD so they can invest it directly into the US economy.

    If buying oil from said shill states is no longer an option, there’s no reason to keep using USD since the alternatives are Russia, Iran, and formerly Venezuela.
