Let's see if they really "see the writing on the wall" as this is just diplomatic pleasantries.
Will they actually shut down all American, Israeli and western operations on their soil? Will they actually close off their airspace? Will they refuse to intercept missiles on behalf of Israel?
Because they are full of bullshit and contradictions right now and the terminal crises are forcing it all to a head.
On the bright side, American bases are spread far and thin throughout Iraq and Syria and Jordan :)
I think they should attack Jordan and Egypt first as the opening volley. They have both clearly chosen a side in this, and attacking them won't cause any major issues with Iran's allies.
The primary target in the first waves should be American and other western nation bases. The Americans are vulnerable right now, spread thin throughout Syria and Iraq. Their carriers are low on anti-air interceptors, they are vulnerable to cruise missile strikes.
Iran will hesitate to attack Azerbaijan due to Russia's ties with Turkey. Iran will hesitate to attack Saudi Arabia and the gulf states due to China wanting the rapprochement there. They will be given a bit of time to show which side they are on, and if they go full zionist and pro-west in the war then they are, of course, valid targets
Saudis will be last probably, as China really wants Iran-Saudi rapprochement and pulling Saudi's out of US orbit
If they allow the zionists or imperialists to use their air fields or otherwise materially aid them then they are open targets of course, but I would hold off on striking them and the other gulf states until after they have played their hand. Force them to chose a side. Genocide and destroyed oil production vs. Peace and continued oil production.
Azerbaijan is a secondary target, but striking them would enrage Turkey who Russia really wants to pull out of western orbit.
Jordan and Egypt I would say are open targets currently as attacking them won't anger China or Russia at all. They are the first to go, as demonstrations. Strait of Hormuz also closes of course.
Once the gulf states and Azerbaijan have clearly gone pro-west they can they have their oil production targeted. Release Ansarallah's full potential.
seems from the footage it was mostly ancient pensioners, like most seemed 70+
Some may even have lived through WW2 as children. Just the hardest motherfuckers in existence I guess. Poor folks.
the doomer comments being mocked aren't based in reality. Go read them, they are unhinged. they don't know basic details like Israel being nuclear armed, they say that one tactical defeat means total strategic defeat, etc. They talk out their asses and don't contribute to analysis. They are emotional, not rational in nature.
panic is not analysis. it is panic and needs to be stomped out.
you really see it whenever there's a major PR victory for Ukraine/Israel and all the ultraleft bothsides types flood this mega to gloat/doom (dooming is their variation of gloating, them trying to say all their worst predictions are coming true and they were right all along)
even that is far fetched. the west will need to accept the following russian terms: no NATO for Ukraine ever. All Russian oblasts will be officially annexed, including the entire territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, Crimea, etc.
is it praxis to become a truck driver for these kinds of things and then make enough fuck-ups destroying them until you get fired?
every pan-arab, secular, socialist and sovereign nation in the middle east has to be destroyed
more money for ISIS pleaseeee
