I have some concerns that China is "watching and learning" like the US "watched and learned" about the USSR's MiG-25 and thus directed more resources to the F-15 to utterly dominate the skies.

That is, China pre-Bridge and Power plant Ayatollah and IRGC Day might have gone after Taiwan half-cocked and been utterly BTFO when they discovered what the US can really do. Now they have a much better appreciation of what they're up against and if they do decide to invade Taiwan, it likely won't be any half-measures.

Granted the issue there is that doing that requires a military force able to go toe-to-toe with the US over the entire Asia-Pacific theater, and if you have a force that lethal it also means your generals have a force able to overthrow the CCP and put themselves in charge.
This is the Iran thread so I'll it at that.

I think that with respect to an invasion of Taiwan and this current Iranian situation, the CCP's best option isn't to prepare to go all-in on a military confrontation, but to get the IRGC to drag this conflict out as possible to poison the US appetite and ability for interventionism. They might rely on the Strait for oil, but so do Japan and worst Korea, and if this continues, they may be able to make it so the political climate in those countries becomes hostile towards allowing US bases. I had thought the Chinese supplying the Iranians with weapons was unlikely, but looking at it from this angle, if a lucky shot manages to cause mass US casualties, even if Iran is flattened the next day, public opinion on any future intervention could sour to the point where Taiwanese people become convinced the US wouldn't come to their aid and they give up. This is yet another reason Bridge and Power Plant Day can't come soon enough, Trump has to show America is willing and able to use real force against people who play around with fake negotiations.

This is a petty good video and he does an excellent job breaking down how close Iran was to making a nuke, and how their missile technology program was very suspicious. He does some alarmist shit about "WHAT IF" on Iran, but seeing the retards and Euros (I repeat myself) talking about 'Oh its nbd if a violent and retarded death cult has nukes' its definitely not compeltely out of line.

But Bro, c'mon. Don't just post a "I watched a video, here waste 30 minutes 15 minutes LMFOA not 2xing youtube slop like I did" bullshit. Summarize that shit for the thread, nigger. tell us why we should watch Write a like three sentances on why its worth our time to watch it.

Small powerleveling based 100% on public information.
The part of this system that shoots bullets (the "Gun") is unimportant. This gun exists only to help the magic computer and Joe Grunt kill people 1km away consistently and without effort.
The capability to kill people consistently 600m, 1000m, or further, even in night and so on outweighs a "Better Gun" for humans. This is the reason it is "Super-Gassed" even at only 50% capacity or wherever.
You can account things like wind, but if this capability is severe over 600 meters, it is total at distances underneath that.
The Gun is a platform to facilitate the transition to "Modern Warfighters" (whatever the term is), with all the technology deploying now and in the coming years.

If anyone wants to see some izzat posting check out the comments section for oil futures on investing.com, the Indians there are Bossman-esque in their complaints of riggers and attempts to will the price down.
Get it twisted! Gamble on oil futures! It’s your ticket out of Jamtara!
 
I am watching Bloomberg and the US Energy Secretary in Croatia talk about a bunch of scripted glow nigger bullshit. Summary Iran is an Existential threat to Europe, this regimes 47 years of terror is over, and in 48 hours - 2 weeks Irans Oil production will be off line do to outdated method of extraction reasons reasons. . . . .

Also this Us Energy Secretary is happy to tell the world as Americans Pay 7 dollars a gallon at the pumps for Deisel, and nearly 4.50 on Gasoline Merica will happily export our Gas Nat gas Crude and Diesel to the rest of the world.as the simple peasants in yank town suffer . . .

2 more weeks bro's trust the plan!

This is a very wordy way to say the military needs a gun that can blast chinks in body armor.

Semantics is when speaking broadly about what price Americans are paying, you use national averages instead of just picking the big number to make things sound worse than they actually are for the average American.

A photo from a whiteboard on board the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) carrier that has been at sea for over 10 months, which took part in the Maduro capture, and operations against Iran. "GQ" is an abbreviation for "general quarters", a term meaning when the ship is in its highest state of readiness for combat.

A Japanese oil tanker “IDEMITSU MARU” is now crossing the Strait of Hormuz carrying about two million barrels of Saudi oil.

Californians should be banned from this thread. The rest of the country isn't governed by climate cultists who hate cars and enact policies designed to raise the price of gas in order to try and stop people from driving.
 
For me, it's dog spit.

Dog spit is explicitly considered very impure in Islam. Therefore the ideal method of postwar execution for the IRGC members who killed Iranian and foreign civilians is to be bound, hoisted up by the ankles and lowered head-first into a 5-gallon bucket of dog spit using a block and tackle, preferably by a nice Jewish lady (presumably one who lost relatives in the war).

In dogs, saliva production can be stimulated by providing citric acid on a cotton swab, which dogs actively seek out and generally enjoy. Large breeds with a tendency towards drooling (i.e. St. Bernards) could reliably and sustainably produce more than one liter per animal per day with citric acid stimulation.

Since there will be some losses associated with aspiration, spilling and coating of surfaces, despite reasonable attempts at recovery, it's probably necessary for the number of animals to meet or exceed the intended maximum throughput in prisoners per day.

The current US market for St. Bernard dogs alone would easily support purchasing 100 animals, and their approximate 10 year lifespan requires purchasing about 10 per year for maintenance if necessary. This is an initial outlay of maybe $100k, realistically $200k if we include domestic transportation costs and logistics.

With the kind of wages likely in postwar Iran, you would easily be able to staff your kennel with, say, 50 full time personnel at even a very generous $10k/year and the operating costs would be negligible compared to the remaining costs: housing prisoners and holding trials.
