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

This is horseshit. Just because nobody makes good TV anymore doesnt suddenly make anime not complete sugar rush garbage for people with no taste. Tired of hearing this crap. Just watch macguyver or star trek enterprise if your father's such a pussy whipped cuck. It's not like kids dont have access to all the other streaming platforms.

"Just watch the boomer slop like i do!"

Kids dont want to watch boomer and old people slop. They never have. Kids didnt want to watch fucking McGuyver or Star Trek when it aired. Much less now. Those are 2 of the most boomer shows you could have named.

Next up you are gonna say watch Firefly or Chuck or god forbid Heroes.

Like Demon Slayer has actual moral lessons and characters that succeed or fail based on their moral actions. Like a main character beating a major villian only because they fought him honorably and by doing so broke his spirit.

Meanwhile modern media has women/browns being heroes and winning because they are women/browns. They cant even do a heroes journey because a journey of improvement would require them to be flawed to begin with and modern women and browns cant be shown as flawed.

Tying it back to Iran, we wont see media showing the heroic rescue of the pilot. Unless the pilot is black or a woman. No role models to be presented to young men by western media.

Scenes from the Iran-Pakistan border, showing a vast Iranian fuel smuggling convoy returning / heading to Pakistan.

That's gotta be coming back cus I don't see a single barrel or any other receptacle in the beds of those pickups. And all those trucks can maybe carry 2-3,000 55-gallon barrels total. Browns are not good at basic tasks like properly arranging and securing cargo so more like the lower end. It would take high hundreds to a thousand convoys that size every day to replace sea exports

Iran is giving us one month to remove our blockade.

I'm sure Trump is appreciative the IRGC is letting him know the blockade is working, and about how long it will be before their oil industry and economy go over the edge

Unfortunately John Wayne is forever seen as a draft dodger despite Uncle Sam deciding he was more useful to them as a dancing monkey selling war bonds. Than as a warm body cleaning latrines somewhere in continental United States. As Wayne was already classed as 4-F by the U.S. military due to numerous injuries he had already sustained doing his own stunts in his acting career. Also too old and a single parent to young children. Or that Wayne had to call in every favor just to USO shows for the troops near the frontline in the Pacific theater.

Correct. I'm sick of the John Wayne "hurr durr draft dodger BS" that leftists go on and on about.

The man was 34 going on 35 in December 1941 and had a wife and children. Already draft ineligible then.

He wrote to John Ford asking to be in his military unit and he did volunteer for USO shows and even asked to join the OSS. By VE day in 1945 he was 37 and oh yeah he was a smoker.... Not exactly a model GI.

Of course people will scream "but what about Jimmy Steward". He was already a private pilot and a college graduate so he was a literal shoe in for OCS in the US Army Air Corps. He was also a bit younger and iirc healthier than Wayne.

John Wayne's 3rd wife mentioned that he was deeply ashamed of his inability to serve in WW2 for the rest of his life.

Same as Eroll Flynn tbh, he was VERY unwell but that was covered up as he was the studios #1 leading man.

The Enforcer is crashing out hard over Trump's inaction on the Iran war.

Says the oil situation is more urgent that the US knows and that it will take some time for prices to go down even if the Strait reopens due to mine clearing, backlog and logistics. Every day that Trump waits for a retarded deal that Iran will never make is time for them to lay mines, dig out missiles and prepare for the next confrontation. Time is on Irans side here, not the worlds. Europe will start feeling the crunch. While I hate Euros and think they are gay and weak, the downstream economic effects will go from bad to worse by the end of May.

Every weekend that passes is another 5 business days before Iran estimates we will strike again because of muh stocks. Says its time for action and I agree here, the gay note-passing with the Pakis for izzat has done nothing but waste time at this point.

Another point of contention hes mad about is the blackout or blurring of American bases on Google Earth, Apple maps, Planet, Airbus and Maxar for damage assessments. This one I agree with because you cannot make the claim that it about preventing Iran from seeing things because the Chinese and Russia are more than happy to sell the IRGC high quality satellite images for cheap. Its only done so Americans cannot accurately report or access damage done to bases for our own propaganda value. I expect the FOIA people to file things if they haven't already. The argument that it could prevent a lone wolf attack is bs too because anyone who has the means to attack is going to get their supplies from IRGC proxies. A week delay for updates is understandable, a total blackout is not.

The other point he makes is that the US and Israel are not prepared for an FPV drone war at all and that the US should help build a stronger relationship with heckin' Ukraine and not push them away. This one Im not so concerned about because Israel is the one getting blown up in Lebanon with FPVs and the US has total air control over Iran. This would only become an issue in a protracted ground war but the point does stand that the US is not prepared at all for a drone heavy Ukraine type battlefield.

The amazing thing about Jimmy Stewart is that he only left the service when he reached mantiory retirement age.

"J-junji sama used all his manajutsu to save his friends! He must really care about his friends!" Yeah that's a really gripping moral education right there. That's the kinda stuff that keeps you going when you have to get up at 4am to shovel shit. You even bring up the heroes journey. Joseph Campbell's whole body of work is peak boomerslop. Look youre a phillistine and you cant be saved. It's over.

The Enforcer is crashing out hard over Trump's inaction on the Iran war.

The enforcer is a faggot who does not understand how shit works. Hes running the same operating system that France and Germany are running. Which says the net global situation is what needs to drive decision making.

Trump however is not operating on that level of analysis. He does not care if Europe and Japan run out of jet fuel and a billion jeets and Africans face a calorie deficit due to a failed harvest from fertilizer shortages. Trumps analysis is based aolely on the internal pain tolerance of America.

And America, unlike Europe, has been preparing for a total loss of middle eastern oil for half a century now. The current situation does suck for North America, but it does not suck so much as to create an existential problem. America can absorb this level of suck indefinitely.

Europe though? Oh no. They cannot. There are not enough windmills in the world that can spin them out of this crisis.

Hey Iran, thanks for letting us know it will take a month to dig out all your missiles.

You are the stupid motherfucker who thinks children will watch MacGuyver of all things.

I didnt want to watch that shit when it aired then, and kids sure as fuck wont now.

Children would rather watch Skibidi Toilet before watching your boomer slop. Most of humanity seems to make that choice when given access to all of human media.

 

[Snekposter]

oh yeah he was a smoker

Oh please, every single K-ration for emergency field issue came with 12 cigs, four each as part of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

GIs were smoking like chimneys.

So yes to the first part but no to the second.
We have a bigger problem than just "can we get oil". The 2nd order effects of all the shit we rely on others for that relies on middle east oil is fucking stupid. Yes its also a knock on effect of globalism and its horseshit but its also true. We can hang on this level of suck for a while - longer than the EU can and longer than a few other places. But not indefinitely and Id argue not even in a realistic long term. (FWIW most of what Im seeing is bad now but shit wont hit the fan till June -ish)

But if you meant we're not the first or second who will scream and possibly be forced to act more agessively and thus it doesnt matter how long we hold out in concrete terms I can see that.

 

[JayseeDenton]

When asked how he can claim America isn't still at war with the blockade ongoing, Trump says it's a "very friendly blockade" that no one has really tried to militarily challenge yet.

>as you can see our blockade isssss a perfectwy friendly

He also says the War Powers Act is unconstitutional horseshit, and he's not gonna be the first president to actually deal with it.

Good. The entire thing is retarded even in concept.

Yeah...

the downstream economic effects will go from bad to worse by the end of May.

Guess whose economy international wealth flees to during bad economic times.

I'll trust soulless multinational oil companies over some faggot on youtube, and soulless multinational oil companies like Chevron are basically shrugging over this. Its CEO told Trump to his face last week that he and his other oil CEO pals didn't see the need to increase production. A global recession because of a lack of oil supply would fuck their revenue to the tune of several hundred billion dollars

lol national security says get fucked. There is absolutely no reason to give an enemy a free and open stream of intelligence regardless of if they can get it from other sources

FPVs are basically doing nothing to Israel in Lebanon and anyone who thinks they and the US are not prepared for an FPV drone war is a drooling retard. The United States has spent more money on drones than anyone else on the planet, just like it has spent more money on everything else military than anyone else on the planet. That money has put us at least a decade ahead of everyone else on everything else, but with drones it hasn't done a damn thing because [someone please come up with a reason to insert here, because the people constantly dooming about drones haven't come up with that reason yet]

In a perfect world these past months would've been a wakeup call for Europe to stop fucking around with the eco-friendly net zero bullshit and start reindustrializing and exploiting their natural resources again instead of letting an Hormuz shaped noose lie comfortably around their necks while their chat with a hangman named Ivan.

Hysterical le happening clowns were already forecasting total global collapse within days if the strait wasn't under control. So, where is it? Two more weeks until Armageddon?

Europe is too deep up its own ass to realize the entire world has left them behind. They are a colony of their former colonies at this point, while the eastern block and western hemisphere views them with contempt for much the same reasons.

A continent of beaurocrats that are willing to sell their patrimony to the scum of the earth in exchange for ephemeral GDP and moral platitudes. A luxury they could only afford as long as Americans were willing to die for them.
