A ship from this company likely made a stop in Israel at some point, flagging the entire company as valid targets for the blockade.

Fully agree.

What Iran really needs to do right now is build unity, destroy the enemy within, and keep hitting the entity every day. There’s no point escalating at this moment unless the US starts bombing air defences and the IRGC. There’s also no point de-escalating; as we’ve seen from Lebanon and Syria, Israel will continue bombing regardless.

Keep up the pressure. No negotiations (Negotiations are literally pointless when you’re in a weak position, since their only purpose is to extract concessions, not work out peaceful co-existence). Build the nukes.

As soon as nukes are tested, sanctions will be applied. Acquire sufficient volume of weapons to ensure deterrence against first strikes. Apply counter sanctions (destruction of all oil shipping going to countries that are applying sanctions). Go in hard for the new world.

Presumably anything above ground is non-essential and was fully expected to be destroyed.

Honestly I have no idea, I just thought we could do with some more comic relief after watching the US telegraph an enormous wind-up punch and do exactly what was expected.

Holden Bloodfeast passed away this morning, aged 119.

It already has.

As always, ignore current nuclear powers, develop in secret, maximum effort, the threats will stop after the first test.

Yep. About the worst position for the country to be held in.

I wonder if you could simultaneously knock out every tarmac’d airplane behind the Israeli frontline (Europe) with truck drones.

He wouldn’t say that unless he was astoundingly stupid. More likely they’re just trying to lull Iran into a false sense of security before a second strike.

Hmm, maybe 50/50.

Signs of enemy incompetence isn’t an indication that they don’t mean you harm.

The US is already involved.

Shame on the Iranians if they are pacified into falling for two first strikes in a week by the same amalgamation of evil.

The US has already demanded Iran’s surrender and is moving into position to attack. Iran should immediately begin hitting the refineries of all US client states in the region. They might not have the chance soon. Why wait for the US to make a first strike when western countries are all in on the game and will condemn you for defending yourself regardless?

We really had the full arc there didn’t we?

A response to @Z_Poster365 and @Monk3brain3

Russia and Hamas have conducted themselves extremely morally. Russia has killed remarkably few civilians, whilst Hamas treated people trying to genocide them exceptionally well despite having no obligations to do so. However, it doesn’t mean anything when people are broadly believe what they are conditioned to believe, and western governments are operating purely off twisting facts to suit their agendas, with morals being almost entirely irrelevant. Trying to be morally superior to entities that simply do not seem to factor morals into their actions is utterly pointless.

If western powers are only going to act (regardless of what is said) in ruthless self interest, the only effective outcome is to make them afraid and respect your capabilities so that they take heed and compromise out of a desire to avoid conflict for their own safety and well-being.

No, bottle them up. Don’t let them flee yet. Make them feel like rats on a sinking ship. Let them feel the danger and absorb the fact that escape isn’t an option that will always be available to them.

Give them the airport back in a few weeks when they’re ready to tear each other apart to get seats on a plane.

Then they’ll go home and never think of coming back.

There’s still no proof that F-35’s have been destroyed, sadly.

For sure the missiles being used in True Promise 3 are a LOT more accurate than the ones that were used on the airbases in True Promise 2.

After some consideration, I’m going to start referring to the gazan genocide as the Holotaphe.

Holo, from the Greek “whole”. Taphe, from the Greek “burial”, considering the number of bodies still entombed in the ruins.

Taph, in Hebrew, also means little children, considering the enormous number of dead children.

This is definitely not confirmed in any way yet.

Tel Aviv delenda est.
