USA Goes to War Against Iran
Time for a dedicated thread to the war.
How long will it last and what will be the probable outcome?
-Ladies (LOL, we all know this is a sausage party) and gentlemen, here is your million man IRGC in action.
Again, the truth is the IRGC has no army at all. No armor, no artillery, no infantry, no support vehicles, nothing.
It has its fortresses that it fires missiles and drones out of. And it has its illiterate browshirts (increasingly foreign) that drive around in jeeps terrorizing people and shooting into residential apartment buildings, and that is pretty much it.
With its Arab proxy paramilitaries severely degraded, all the IRGC really has left is a complete disregard for human life (their own and everyone elses) and foreign sycophants (like Macron) that lend them legitimacy for their own ends. And their only ability to project power is through exploiting this asymmetry of callousness and nihilism.
Missile fortress is all it needs though.
Only so long as the people that have the capability and willingness to deal with them decide dealing with them will be more costly than allowing them to persist. And they have already played much of their hand, so they have lost a lot of their leverage for deterrence. Europeans are opportunistic cowards that can be easily bought, which the IRGC has done. But for the rest of the world, especially the GCCs, at some point they will decide they have already incurred enough cost that it will be worth it to just follow through to the end (of the IRGC).
Again, time will tell but I think you are falling for a social media propaganda campaign that doesn't match what is happening in the real world. And the IRGC is extremely weak and desperate, and it is going to take a lot more than Jihadi Iraqi brownshirts terrorizing and shooting up the Iranian people for the regime to keep power once the kinetic war ends.

You just support the AmeriKKKIsraeli paedophilic cannibal genocidal empire. As does everyone who laughs at Vic's shitposting.
It would be easy and fair to characterise most of your posts in the Israel/Palestine thread from not so long ago as "Israel is merely defending itself and if you think there's a genocide you're anti-Semitic".
Then after the death toll reached six figures you disappeared for some reason. Definitely not because of shitposting though.
Kelhus,
Don't you think that if the Iranians were in a desperate situation that they'd be more willing to deal?
I'd guess there is a whole lot more gcc infrastructure that they can attack that they still haven't.
They'd be desperate if they have exhausted their own target lists (e.g. the gcc + Israel is destroyed and they're still being attacked), or if they start running out of missiles which seems unlikely given that you know...the country is just a missile fortress.

We don't know who (if anyone) has the capabilities to make such a deal, or even what their motives are. If taken at face value, at its core the ideology of The Regime is belief in a prophecy where conflict and chaos will bring a savior to usher in the endtimes. For all we know, the people shooting missiles at GCC's believe they are operating towards such ends.
Something else we have to factor in is that the Regime and its followers have acted horribly toward the Iranian (and Arab) people for much of the last 40 years. To the point there is legitimate concern they will be treated in kind if they ever fall out of power. The fact they may not see an endgame where they avoid such a fate may be motivating the Regime to keep fighting with no coherent strategy beyond ensuring their own short term survival.
Not sure why you’d try to apply logic and reason to the IRGCs motives and actions. Seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of their entire entity.
Like lmao do you think all these deposed dictators want to live in Russia eating borscht and cabbage? They are there because the alternative was facing the people they exploited for years. Also you really think all the GCC countries want to make a deal? You think Israel is brutal?
Yes.

These are suicidal apocalyptic radical nut cases. Their only goal is to survive even if it means living in caves the rest of their lives. Do you think we are dealing with rational people?

I doubt you have any substantial knowledge of Twelver Shia eschatology.

Hate it when people are suicidal and their only goal is to survive. The worst type of people. Make up your mind already!

There is no genocide in Gaza. Their cities were flattened because Hamas hid behind its civilians like cowards. I’ve already mathematically disproven the genocide claim.
They seem pretty rational. If they were suicidal they'd just unload everything on the West.
They aren’t dumb. If they unloaded everything their regime would be over. The factories that help to build their weapons have mostly been destroyed. They need to hold back some weaponry since it will be difficult to restock.
That's what Crassus said too

Why are you trying to assign rationality to the hopelessly irrational? They cling to the power they have in the real world, because exploiting and raping an entire country is a lot of power. At the same time they welcome death and the prospect of 72 virgins in the afterlife. Khamenei was a billionaire, all the Hamas leaders are/were billionaires. They aren’t killing 10s of thousands of their own people because there’s no profit.
