Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

Just realized its Friday and the stock market will be closed an extra day on Monday. Shit is going to go down this weekend
There's nothing in position and Trump is planning Shock & Awe 2: 2Shock2Awe to topple the regime. Next Friday is possible and the Friday after that is more likely.
 
I just hope that no other massacres will occur before the inevitable collapse.
Please Lord Trump, secure the lives of the Persian princesses

You guys seem to know a lot more about geopolitics stuff than I do, so I'll just ask: If the US is pulling Naval assets from the South China Sea and nearby areas, is there a chance that China will take the opportunity to invade Taiwan while we're out of position?
Ive heard this theory floated before. I would say its highly unlikely. The Chinks watched Russia get btfo by a non-nuclear capable power on land that shows no signs of victory 4 years on. They won't attack unless they have 100% preparation and assets ready to go which they are still preparing for since Xis deadline is 2027. China would have little time to train since no one counted on Iran collapsing in January, so they won't risk it. Taiwan has been preparing for the confrontation too, more than Ukraine ever did, and theres a risk Sanae Takaichi would venture into the conflict. Also, Sino markets have not had time to prepare to switch to a war economy, so Winnie the Pooh is just going to sit and watch.

The US made the Maduro raid look easy, but we have 250 years of warfare and experience under our belt. The Chinks at best, have experience beating pajeets with sticks on the side of a mountain and defeating Hindoo operated jets. Totally different ballgame when it comes to Taiwan.
 
Seems like for now nothing happens. A shame but I guess the people at the top don't want another Iraq situation where the whole order crumbles down and it becomes a clusterfuck that takes years to get under any sort of control.
lol, no. The Chi-Coms wouldn't do something that stupid. They've never fought a naval battle nor have they ever done amphibious landings. Taiwan has four or five beaches suitable for landings and they're all defended to hell and back. If they do anything they'd take the two or three islands just off their coast that Taiwan still controls but that's extremely unlikely. If they fuck up an invasion Xi would lose face and be couped in a week.
It's pretty insane how the Chinese are just hoping for the best when it comes to their army functioning when an actual war starts. Their shills just go "muh food trucks" as if not having a war for 50+ years doesn't have any effect on capability of everyone involved. If they want to have any shot in global hegomony they need to take the plunge and at least get a good chunk of the soldiers into some conflict areas so loss of life will be minimal.

china mobilizing and getting in position for a taiwan invasion would take a lot of time, america would have more than enough time to react and prepare
 
. I would say its highly unlikely
The main thing in the moment is that Russian society seem to be "just fine" with the Ukraine war for now unlike how certain people in the west screech about. The mobilizations have peaked in 2022 there. Do the Chinese have the same stomach to mantain it or they will fold when the first sanctions hit (Or they are banking on China's importance to the global economy, believing it's untouchable after Trump's tariff disaster.)
I'm leaning on the camp that an invasion may never happen and China will try other means to make Taiwan subservient.

Given how little we can verify and get concrete data on the Chinese economy, I would say its a toss up. I believe Trump and the CIA spooks are trying to get more intel on its strength and actual size but for now outside of Xis circle, no one really knows. Hell, we don't even know if their population figures are accurate.

Don't forget the Sino-Vietnamese war where the Chi-Coms captured a couple of cities in the north of Vietnam and then ran away when the Vietnamese began sending their actual army to take back the territory back. This was at the same time as their occupation of Cambodia. Then you have the Chi-Com peacekeepers in Sudan getting their shit pushed in because their 2nd LTs can't fathom the idea of making decisions without asking higher ranking officers. An invasion of Taiwan would need the Benny Hill theme playing the whole time they're trying to take a beach.

And that carrier group will be replaced on station with another from a less volatile region just in case. Plus we have the unsinkable carriers of Japan and Guam who are ready to drop the hammer at a moments notice. And Taiwan themselves have been spending decades building up their defensive capabilities. China getting froggy would be a very stupid decision, especially with everything that has happened over the past few years. Venezuela had quite a lot of Chinese hardware that proved to be less than worthless against a motivated US, and that HAS to worry them.
 
GDF and anti-US/Israeli leftists in the comments are currently seething that their greatest ally collapsing in on itself, blaming those damned American Imperialists (for the Iranian Government's own incompetence at managing an economy).

Given Tehran and other cities are running out of water, also things like building cities that even people without apartments didn't want to inhabit, plus endless war, ceaseless corruption, Iran would've collapsed on its own, just a bit slower without Trump and Nethanyahu doing their stuff.

It's "just fine" until economy crumbles because of it, and people start to really feel consequences on their own hide (it's already pretty bad for the average person with costs for everything consistently climbing up).
If China has any sense at all, they won't do it. While the West depends on cheap Chinese production, their economy wouldn't be able to function without having someone to sell all this shit to. The way I see it, they simply cannot afford it, and that's not going to change anytime soon. No matter how much CCP might want Taiwan, it would be way too risky a gamble.
They're probably biding their time hoping that US hegemony collapses before attempting anything. Which is a smart thing to do, considering how everyone in the West seemingly lost their goddamn minds.

We also have the Goy Beam Weapon that will make you bleed out of your butthole while writhing on the ground in the worst pain of your life. When Venezuela returned the bodies of the 32 dead Cubans they arrived in small boxes, not caskets. Every BRICS-aligned nation is scared shitless of what the capabilities we can bring to bear on them now.

Those milsperg ship tracker websites have the George Washington at Yokosuka, and the Carl Vinson allegedly left San Diego in the last 1-2 days
 
They are not rational in a specific way. They are lazy and retarded believing thigns will happen if Allah wills them to or not, and thus completely abdicating responsibility for planning and anticipating long-term outcomes.
My catholic mom is kinda the same. Sad. Some people just want an excuse to avoid responsibility and hard work.
You see it a lot more among Islamists though. Must be a combination of them being retarded browns and Islam being an incredibly retarded religion to begin with.
 
Yes, I realize the aircraft carrier isn't in place yet, and we're still trying to arrange regional allies. I'm not saying the US should make war decisions based on my boredom level...but can we please start bombing Iran within the next hour? Can our military also post live high def footage?

Hopefully these will sate your appetite:
