There are presumptions here that Iran will have any balistic missile left or indeed be able to manufacture drones - they won't.There won’t be enough Patriot missiles to go round unless they stop supplying Ukraine! The shit will hit the fan once they’ve used them up Iran could be hitting Arab states anywhere they like, if they go for the oil fields big time or shipping the world will grind to a halt.
That much? Wow.Regarding Douglas Macgregor
He's an American far-right grifter and close friends with Tucker Carlson, and is basically a Russian asset. He uses his past titles to command respect, but these days he’s used to push Russian interests, which means lying to defend his allies and attack his enemies. Over the past few years he’s spent his time spreading every possible conspiracy about Ukraine, from Zelensky supposedly buying dozens of mansions with foreign money, to claims about a Nazi regime, a pro-LGBT regime, biolabs making biological weapons, basically whatever story gives different audiences a reason to hate Ukraine. He does the same with Israel, the US, Europe, and any country that stands in the way of Russian interests.
I’m bringing this up because he has less credibility on any topic than some random person on X.
The European PURL initiative has been funding Ukraines armament purchases. I.e. the UK, Australia, Japan, Canada Europe and also South Korea in the next month or so.They have already stopped supplying Ukraine.
US aid to Ukraine dropped 99% in 2025.
ScrappingIt needs serious reform, or scrapping.
If Trump says he is having issues about where their airforce can fly from then make the job easy for him - can't use British airbases in the UK, Akrotiri nor Diego Garcia - makes the equation easier for him to work out. Two can play his game.
Defensive operations and supply only allegedly.I thought our RAF bases are now being used or has that changed ?
I've just watched a video from LBC of an interview with Ian Dale and a Professor of Law from Oxford University about the legality of the current action. Dale tries to be clever but the Prof wipes the floor with him. When the Prof clearly defines what steps and on what basis action can be justified Dale resorts to 'well sometimes the law is an ass'. When Dale also tries to claim he cannot think of any wars since 1949 which have followed the necessary protocols the Prof reels them off. Do have to be a fat, smug, ill-informed arse to work for LBC.
No one can justify the killing of innocent children, for that matter killing anybody
"That reads as "30-35,000 civilian deaths isn't that bad"Fucking hell!
That reads as "30-35,000 civilian deaths isn't that bad"
And as for the 15,000 would have died anyway. Why would they have died?
Those throw away comments are absolutely outrageous
I'm fucking stunned
I'm going to hate myself for typing this
It's like a member of the SS in Nuremberg saying "yes, we exterminated xxxxx of Jews, but 35% would have starved anyway"
Interestingly a large Jewish community in Iran that hasn't been exterminated. Why?"That reads as "30-35,000 civilian deaths isn't that bad"
No, that reads as it isn't a "genocide "
You think tens of thousands of civilian deaths is bad?
Completely agree.
It's not a genocide, though.
The Pakistani army in Bangladesh, Turkey with Armenians, the extermination of Hindus / Sikhs in Pakistan, Jews and Yazidis across the mid East.
They were also bad, AND they were genocides.
If the Israeli army wasn't strong enough, and the Arabs conquered their country, it wouldn't be a bad case of few thousand dead, it would mean the genocide of millions of Jews.
Stop trying to twist words to suit your purposes and bully people. And explain why the real genocide on a dozen other countries doesn't bother you, or why you are so upset that the Israelis are strong enough to give a beating to those who openly call for their genocide.

Pipe rockets are the best they will be able to build. This isn't Russia that Iran are facing.
