Agree with same comment as above.
> This is true. 90% destruction of military is meaningless if 10% can wreck havoc on the strait. The cost associated with eliminating that 10% was deemed too much. That is Iran’s “win”.
- peder 6mo agoBut we can eliminate 90% of senior leadership at any time. How do they measure that cost?
- defrost 6mo agoOne facet of guerilla element asymmetric warfare is to just do without that whole reliance on hierachy.
- peder 6mo agoYou arguably can't run gorilla large-scale manufacturing. There are obvious limits to what you can achieve when the opposition can run decapitation strikes every few months.
- defrost 6mo agoand now you're into mesh logistics and distributed supply from outside backers in interesting terrain with long borders.
- peder 6mo agoIrrelevant if you can keep doing decapitation strikes on leadership.
- samrus 6mo agoChina and russia can. And they can send that shit to iran through pakistan and the caspian You gotta bet china and russia loved what happened here
- peder 6mo agolol no, they both have lost substantial influence in Iran... the US has been chipping away at the spheres of influence for both China and Russia in recent months, first with Venezuela and now Iran. Hopefully Cuba is next. And the US surveillance capabilities are substantially greater than they were during the Iraq and Vietnam wars. Smuggling in drones or missiles isn't some trivial affair. And again, if they do that, we just decapitate their leadership again. And again. Until they stop.
- samrus 6mo agoThis sounds a bit delusional. You do see the difference between venezuela and iran right? How the first went smoothly for the US and the other absolutely isnt. And the talk of chipping away at russia and china's influence in iran, youdo know that iran is asking for payment in yuan to let ships through. The US invaded iraq to maintain the petro dollar and now iran os flagrantly subverting it and backing china's currency
