IRAN MUST GET ON WITH IT
Iran should do a preemptive strike now and gain the initiative. Waiting until the US is "ready" just makes it easier for them. The precedent for a preemptive strike by Iran has been well and truly set by the US.
Trump was paid $106 million by Adelson to strike Iran, he has to deliver. What do people think the money was for? Adelson knows that narcistic fools like Trump are easily bought. The Adelsons were casino magnates, fooling idiots was their stock-in-trade.
Iran is about as “boxed in” as a shopkeeper who is told by the mafia that if he doesn't pay protection money his shop will be burnt down, his uncle will be murdered and his legs will be broken. Unlike the shopkeeper Iran however can't stop the thugs by paying protection money. Whatever Iran do they will be attacked.
Even if Iran can fight back and threaten Israel with destruction. Israel will release the Kraken, and the US will likely use tactical nukes to finish Iran off. The US won't put boots on the ground it will be nukes on the ground. The US can't get enough troops into Iran any time soon.
If Russia and China don't save Iran, they can kiss their multipolar world goodbye. The US will have won and then BRICS will all be picked off one by the Evil Empire afterwards. Bullies only stop when they are brought down, the Evil Empire will only stop when significant real pain is inflicted on them, WWIII is certainly a possibility out of this.
And while this is going on China should take Taiwan as the US will be stuck in the Middle East slugging it out with Iran. The US may have eleven aircraft carriers, but they are lucky if they can deploy more than two of them in a major conflict at once. China also needs to move on Taiwan before the Japs get nukes and that's only at the most a year or two away.
It's not just Iran that needs to be saved from the bully, the rest of us will all be in the same boat if they aren't stopped soon. The US is in decline, but it is still extremely dangerous and like all other declining empires the mask of sanity has fallen and with it all inhibitions against unfetterred violence to maintain their hegemony They are like a rabid dog, think Lindsey Graham, and if not stopped very soon they will be continue to be dangerous for another two or three decades. Likely they will ultimately take everyone down with them.
