China uses wars like these to test their equipment for example the s300 knockoffs. These were not effective in Iran nor in Pakistan. I am sure the Chinese have made a note of that and debugging the failure.

Israel seems to be using Arrow 3s for this exact effect. If we are to believe the news, the Arrow 3s hit bomblet arme missiles attacking Dimona ( after the one that got through)

Unlikely but they can be intelligent about their trajectory. That is avoid known areas of resistance, use natural features for protection. Being slow moving as they are, they are quite vulnerable to countermeasures after they have been dete

The Martian. Towards the end of his life as cancer metastasised in his brain he would ask his visitors to give him sums to do to reassure himself that he was still there. Towards the end he wasn't and couldn't. One of the saddest

I agree that a barrage of maneuvering missiles can be neigh impossible to defend against. Regarding these cluster munitions though, other than very densely populated areas, do they inflict much damage ? Are they more powerful than a grenade

Game theory would be useful for these kinds of modeling. Perhaps the government should have and advisory body that employs the smartest mathematicians for running these scenarios. Of course a lot of randomness needs to be modeled too. Wonde

One complication is that the sheiks are heavily invested in US tech companies and Kushner's ilk is heavily invested in the Middle East. So neither would want the other to crash and burn but can use the threat of financial pull out as a

The Arab allies are going to be plenty pissed if US leaves without degrading Iran. They were doing fine before the US intervened, now they are worse of than they were before. Head hurts to think how this will play out.

The last few times Iran participated in talks and agreed on a ceasefire it worked against them.

Your [1] and Iran's claim that it did not target Azerbaijan can both be true. Yes there is no one central command, but in spite of that whoever is doing the shooting in Iran has been conscientious about taking responsibility. I find th

That's right. Hosting military bases of the overlords that impose crippling sanctions that impoverish a nation on false premises is quite far away from a neutral country. I didn't hear the neighbouring countries complain when Iran

Iran has said it was not them. So far Iran has been quite conscientious about taking responsibility of the targets they have hit or attempted to hit. Israel on the other hand has a history of not being so.

Super impressed by Spain and Ireland. Like as if some European countries have a spine. I really wish Europe got it's shit together soon.

Ah! Now I feel like an idiot wasting my time. Thanks for the heads up though. Sadly, my country does this too, pay shills to promote their party line on Whatsapp.

No. But many that I know have. They all had a lovely lovely time and to this day reminisce fondly about the hospitality they received from the people, from the officials. As complete strangers they were invited into their homes to share din

That would be right from the text book of any psyops and insurgency operation. This is as standard operating procedure as it gets. It would be very surprising if they didn't. Heck FBI was doing it to citizens at one point, during war

If US takes down their democracy and downs their domestic passenger jets, fight a proxy war with chemical weapons through Saddam Hussein that alone kills 20~30 thousand, no country is going to respond to that with flowers in their hair. Lov

That is so because of Iran's choice of targets. SA might have misjudged that their business assets would be attacked. There is some chatter that crown prince supported and approved the assassination of Khamenei and possibly supplies su
