  • lose geopolitical standing
  • run out of precision ammo
  • need China's rare earths to build more bombs
  • switch to 1970 bombs and long ground war
  • let Iran break petrodollar by allowing Yuan
  • lose reserve currency status
  • lose all allies
  • trade deficit gets even worse
  • Yuan becomes reserve currency
  • Wall Street collapses completely

This might be those weeks where decades happen. So many possibilities. It'll be exciting to see what happens, from a distance.

    honestly, can't believe that an Iran-US war is becoming an Iranian victory, with most of the US supporting Iran.

    US was always a paper tiger. the military isn't designed for any sort of war, but designed to funnel public funds to military shareholders's pockets.

    Idk, it's possible our military just always sucked but Im more inclined to believe it's just ineffective because the people running it are absolute braindead clowns.

    both. it was designed to be a money sink. that's why it's budget is greater than basically all the rest of the world military, but lost a 20+ year war against some of the poorest peoples in the world.

    It is incredibly effective against civilians though

    Yeah, the US military is only good at murdering brown agrarian peasants. Especially their ground forces; they regularly get schooled in international exercises and they have to tell the OPFOR to take it easy on them because it hurts their feelings to not be the best.
