Rise up, I think. Not sure there's any other solution that'll work.
I hope they can find the immense bravery required to do it.

An absolutely absurd position to take, theres now been over 1000 Iranians killed in the bombings and Israel expects the general population to flick a switch and take over? The arrogance is disgusting.

It would collapse their economy. The only reason they can borrow as much as they do at such low rates is because of the demand for the dollar. It would genuinely be the end of the US as the world’s superpower. It’s also why any leader that tries it gets invaded.

Think I read a lot of Russian sanction breaking oil is now bought with the Yuen, trouble is the dollar is seen as a safe stable currency so doubt if it will be dropped anytime soon.

Doubt the civilians could succeed, it would require the military for a regime change and we ain’t seen any signs of that yet.

It’s reduced from 75% to 55% of transactions in the last 20 years. It is ONLY relatively stable as it’s the defacto reserve currency. And it’s only that because oil is traded in the USD. if BRICS change that then I stand by my posts above. Entire books have been written on it but this is a decent little article on Investopedia

And it says...
The petrodollar system's demise is not looming, and the U.S. dollar's strength remains secure despite the gradual diversification of global reserves.

There’s a lot of competition, but I think Pete Hegseth might be the most preposterous member of this administration (Trump aside). His faux macho bullshit is absolutely tragic.

Kristi Noem or that plastic looking bellend whose name I forget that’s always defending the tariffs certainly run him close. Absolute joke of a country.

The fact that there are "Christians" who think the world is ending anyway and part of god's plans is fucking terrifying. Gives them a free pass to do whatever they want.

It's a parallel with the Zionism. Many Jews opposed the return to "Israel" as in the Torah it would be G-d that brought them back, whereas the Zionists couldn't wait for G-d. The Christian Zionists think it's part of New Testament prophecies that before Christ returns (or after) a third of Jews will convert to Christianity and two-thirds will be destroyed.

The problem is that both groups decided that God needs help so are happy doing the same things (killing others, taking land, Greater Israel) - in expectation of divinely-ordained but mutually exclusive prophecies.

They have a military that is at least 1.5 million strong, probably closer to 2 million. And they are more for the current Iran regime.

If this is war, there will be casualties for both sides of war. What’s the utopian of it will be? Not even Trump knows whats going to happen right now. The only side gaining so far is Israel because they’ve been wanting this for decades.

He's got a lot of Dutch courage. Not much else.
