But remember, China is watching and waiting and learning

Learning America can smash over 1,000 targets in a single day with ~15% of its operational air power and ~15% of its deployed navy

Watching its tech get mogged by American tech (again)

Watching America move all the supplies needed for a huge war to the opposite side of the globe like its routine (because it is)

Watching America get a ton of real combat experience against missiles and drones

Waiting because the PLA can't even tell Xinnie the Pooh that it has a 50% chance of successfully landing on and conquering Taiwan (while the US would do it in about 3 days)

I frequently promise myself I won't get too milspergy but the vodka has already entered my system so fuck it and pardon the sperg.

If Pooh Bear and the rest of the CCP have something resembling brains inbetween their ears they can take three very important lessons from this conflict:
1. The US can launch one really fucking nasty alpha strike against you and don't care about those laws of war that you barely pretend to follow either.
2. The US has the logistical capacity to keep fucking your shit up long after the alpha strike has happened.
3. The US can and if needs be, will, maintain a naval blockade on your ass.

What does China have besides unproven tech that at best wasn't actually sent to Venezuela or Iran, and a navy with fuckall practical or institutional experience for a war which will be decided on the waves?
I wrote two paragraphs worth of mislperg before I had a lapse of sanity and deleted 'em so let me leave it at wishing that Trump gets his battleships with their big fucking railguns so that one day this line becomes a reality:

Edit: to explain why this is relevant to this thread, from my autistic prospective Iran is basically a prototype of what a conflict with China will likely play out should shit go to shit and Winnie the Pooh decides to finally try and take Taiwans sexy sexy chip manufacturing for CCP. Fuck yourself with that CPC shit that's gay.

My favorite economics youtuber is starting to doom about the energy markets. I actually take this guy pretty seriously so things are about to get bumpy.

Worst comes to worst, we can just temporarily ban energy exports (maybe give Japan a waiver), and Europe can deal with its own problems for its cowardice.

I generally like Patrick's videos, he's knowledgeable and informative. But he's been failing miserably to hide his TDS for at least a couple of years now.

Maybe, but I dont think hes wrong. The lead time from the price shock being put off by the fact that there was still a shit ton of oil in transit makes sense. And if domestic US producers arent increasing production as he says we may have an issue here soon.

We are not the same.

I want it too, to avoid further supply disruption. Iran needs its teeth kicked in.

I mean it's been 2 months. At some point the end of days has to actually arrive rather than being permanently right around the corner. Otherwise it's just 2 more weeks all the way down.

Yeah, Im not understanding the delay and kicking the can down the road with honorsperging and talks. Its a waste of time and like it or not, the longer it drags on, it does hurt Trump. It also hurts Asian countries and China, maybe thats the point, but to the general American public, you're burning valuable time and goodwill. You have to kill the next round of IRGC generals.

Maybe its giving the US mil time to reshuffle their assets, but that could have been done earlier. Idk, but I am frustrated with the lack of progress, maybe Iran is fighting more behind the scenes but its time to escalate the next round of strikes.

Iranian hackers have resorted to spamming sailors and Marines stationed in the Gulf on WhatsApp and only get a mocking "ha ha ha 🤣" in response.

I find it funny that the best response they could show was some woman laughing at them for being gay and retarded.

I'm 99% sure that the rest of the responses, especially from the male sailors and Marines, consisted of zoomer babble plus a few one word reply consisting of "nigger", "faggot" and "RAPE" here and there.

I do want to "trust the plan", but we cant leave the status quo like this indefinitely. Something has to give eventually and the longer this goat rodeo goes on the more economic damage is accrued.

There comes a point where the sunk cost of accrued economic pain will compel Trump to make a move.
I don't see him just throwing up his hands and pulling out, but the longer this goes on, the more obvious and grandiose a victory he needs to achieve in order to point to and say it was worth it.
All I know is that this is all Pakistan's fault.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

More proof the retard corral thread is full of europoors, he sounds exactly like them.

The Euro lashes out at The American as he is about to run out of gas and various oil byproducts due to The Euro buying all of those products from the Middle East.
The American isn't too worried, as The American can still get gas and oil products from their own land.
NGL Prices do fucking suck, if only we could get some of the recent profits from this conflict back to us citizen instead of more gibs money.

It doesnt help that he talked serious smack either. You cannot promise Khorne rivers of blood and mountains of skulls and then not deliver.
