M'eh. China needs Hormuz oil and US purchasing.
Russia hasn't attacked Europe outside the former republics of the USSR since 1919.
Worrying too much about WOLVERINES!

I see Race and co. is spiking the football after reading their morning war propaganda on X again.
different administration
Go ahead and defend them
They are the ones who said Iran is getting a nuke
Iran has always said the same thing
Glad we agree
And Saddam had WMDs
And the laptop was fake
As infallible as the pope
Same people
Feel free to present the mullahs case
America winning pisses ofc Ernie

Everyone on the globe is losing. Earth is losing.
The Iranian citizens whose government kills them if they protest disagree. Ern sees this as a fair trade off so he can save a few cents on gas.
White Guy Ern knows more than anyone in the world.
Ok Eyore fill us in on how the how world is losing

China plays the long game. Their objectives haven’t changed.
Apparently you think Russian behavior has had nothing to do with American and NATO military deterrence. They’re just peaceniks I guess. Especially Vlad.
Hi Ernie
Hanson nailed the pathology. They don't analyze the war empirically. They analyze it politically. In his words, Tom Friedman and Bill Kristol "𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘥 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱."

100 years of Russian behavior say otherwise.
And if the Chinese are long-game players, plenty of tim to replenish the arsenal.

Everett still deluding himself into thinking this helps Iranian citizens. If regime change was on the table, you might have a case, but that train left the station over a month ago.

You think the fact we are distracted and running low on munitions isn’t being considered by the Chinese. I think the topic has come up.
As for the Russians, telling me they “only” want to re-establish their prior empire wouldn’t be reassuring even if I thought you were right.
It's barely been a month
Regime change is happening
You guys are something
Delusional would be one word
And they've been set back and exposed as a paper tiger when the US blew all their weapons up
The US can make more. Ask Germany and Japan

Making more is the point of the discussion, Madame Obvious. We have a critical need to make more. We’ve burned through a lot of our stockpile. Do you and I even disagree on this?
Giving away weapons and equipment to the Taliban and also Ukraine doesn’t help.
