This is the most salient point and shows this guy understands the ooda loop — possibly better than the pentagon, which famously hates Boyd and the concept of strategic optimization.

In case of a lost war with the US, massive death toll among the current elite is highly likely, and the entire regime could be destabilized enough to fall. OTOH if America loses, nothing will happen to any member of the current US government nor to their kids etc.

- mindslight 2mo agoWould it be possible for the People to observe some of this suffering? It would help preserve what little remaining sense of justice we still have. Usually we see some shame from politicians, or at least some disowning from their supporters. But here it's just continued unrepentant mayhem and destruction.

- mindslight 2mo agoHow do you discern it from the baseline of just old guy mad at the TV?

- andriy_koval 2mo agowhen Trump loses, he just declares victory and face is saved.
- gruez 2mo agoThe guy touts this as something that favors them but why can't be true in reverse? ie. the US finds Iranian weaknesses?
- troyvit 2mo agoThat's what it should be doing. There's plenty of analysis out there about Iran's strategy (my favorite so far: https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/05/21/mosaic-defense-dispersed-command/ https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/05/21/mosaic-defense-dispe...) but I get no sense that anybody actually in charge is trying to attack Iran's strategy. Instead they just attack Iran.
