I think it is far more likely that this war is happening as a result of the espionage and blackmail system that Epstein ran rather than as a distraction from it myself.

That's how I refer to it whenever I'm not in a more formal forum like this one where you get banned for referring to it as such.

Then please don't make drive-by shitposts on the topic. If you don't want to have the conversation, don't bring it up.

Bombing an apartment in Bahrain is not proportional to bombing an American military base in Bahrain.




The Iranians have extremely good intelligence from Bahrain due to the high Shia population, and there were credible reports that American soldiers were being quartered in those apartments and hotels.




Iran has little ability to harm Americans.




I actually agree with you on this, which is one of the reasons why starting this conflict was an incredibly stupid idea. The problem, of course, is that Iran's strategy is to destroy the global economy by closing the Strait of Hormuz and depriving the world of fuel, a strategy which won't harm them terribly much due to their continued ability to sell oil to China and the fact that American sanctions kept them cut off from the global economy anyway, which means that the real test of their military effectiveness is simply "How much oil left the strait of Hormuz from non-Iranian sources since the conflict began?" Much like how the Viet Cong would have handily lost a fight with the American military if they all lined up in a field and marched to death, the Iranians understand that their conventional military disadvantage forces them to fight back with alternative means.

We killed the core of Iranian leadership in an afternoon and their only viable response is to attack unrelated countries and merchant fleets.




If you think the countries that Iran has attacked are unrelated to the conflict I don't believe you have a terribly useful understanding of the situation in the region - that's the kind of analysis that you get from talk shows. In reality, people understand that nations with US military bases that are being used to actively launch attacks are in no way unrelated to the conflict. Similarly, if you believe that their closing of the Strait and attacks on merchant ships are wild flailing as opposed to an extremely well documented and widely understood strategy of attacking the global economy then I just don't think you're providing any kind of serious analysis.
