I’ve found that people who are offended by dark humor (the non racist variety) tend to be people I don’t like, and don’t trust alone with children.

Reagan openly committing treason by selling arms to Iran.

Not happy about our shit getting bombed, but I can’t really blame them for shooting back.

Something keeps reminding them to stay on top of the problem.

Not disagreeing, but at the same time, we’re already carbon dust in that scenario.

Don’t need to feed a horde, just enough of them to shoot the rest.

Clean water and food can be incredibly valuable when no on else has any.

That’s what the robots are for.

Ok, but a nuclear war wrecks things, and a bunker hoards value. So you’re not really disagreeing.

That’s why the price surged.

The US is showing up with 4 times as many cruise missiles as Iran has total launch systems, on day one. The US has a working supply chain to bring more. Iran won’t have a supply chain from anywhere, and construction won’t be an option without materials, which would also be targeted.

Iran has no chance of standing up to the US military, that’s never really been a question. The only thing they can, and probably will do, is cause some losses to the Navy and any land troops. Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, the US will take serious casualties if it goes into Iran. That won’t be enough to stop the invasion, or really even slow it down. Internal politics would be a far more likely reason to stop any open invasion.

In order to continue challenging air defenses, there has to be someplace left to launch an air attack from. And since Iran has nothing to stop US air attacks, that becomes an issue long before US air defense runs out.

Iran wouldn’t blow through a serious fraction of US air defense. The main threats from Iran would be torpedo’s and water based mines from hidden/small launch sites. Their drone attacks would probably land a couple hits early on, due to sheer volume, but they wouldn’t get to launch waves like Russia is able to in Ukraine. There wouldn’t be enough launch sites remaining after the first two weeks.

The bigger issues would be what other countries do in reaction. China and Russia at the top of that list.

What if the reason Trump hasn’t attacked is because Iran is supplying Russia with the drones they need in Ukraine?

There’s no such thing as ‘must be’. There’s only as much as the member states will put up with. If the cost exceeds the value, it will get changed, along with any rules that supposedly prevent it. The only thing the rules do is set a higher cost.

I’m betting a mechanism could be created. It hasn’t happened because Germany and France don’t want it to, yet. That could change.

In 18 months I can see us where the Star Wars universe portrayed droids. As in ‘Oh great, another talking tin can, just what the galaxy needs. Can someone turn this thing off?’

Write your own responses and stop using AI.

If it’s created for profit, it will be abused. Profit motif never ends with the first dollar made. Every effort will be made until it’s in places it shouldn’t be, without restrictions on what it’s used for.

Amps are used when deciding the wiring. So that afterwords you know if your plug matches, it works in that outlet.
