big talk but let's see it for real

Navin Gruesome is hand wringing about it when it is his own forces. He is the governor. He controls the cops and national guard.
that cowardly fucker should have just countermanded Trump, told the national guard to return to barracks or back to their pool supply shops or whatever. That would have caused some real confusion in the ranks and probably paralyzed the deployment. Even if you're a civility lib the LAPD could handle beating the protesters themselves, there was no reason for the national guard besides Trump and his ego wanting to see blood in the streets. And if trump arrests the governor, so what? unless he fucking executes him for treason he'd be basically a guaranteed future president once trump has a heart attack for that easy move
though theoretically... and please tell me if I'm wrong, Russia might not have much of an objection, in fact a huge fossil fuel shock might give them a nice economic boost to finally finish up in Ukraine while the oil addicted EU is thrown into chaos as they lose yet another energy source
China is primarily coal and renewable reliant too and has good electric transport links with HSR. The US has lots of domestic oil but is also sensitive to price increases due to the inefficiency of car-centric transport. Global south is probably fucked unless you still have oil that hasn't been stolen by the west yet.
Its unlikely the world would be happy about it but maybe Iran can escape getting invaded from all sides or nuked if they do it (if say Russia or China says they would retaliate if US/IOF uses nuclear weapons). USA would probably go to war with Iran, but at this point it is looking like that may happen anyway
unironiclly one of the entity's biggest weakness is that their population has the western treat-brain virus despite all their rhetoric. there's a certain economic and cultural fragility there that I think may really reveal itself if they start feeling a fraction of the pain they inflict on others.
meanwhile the Muslim world has had decades of experience watching their homes get bombed and putting up with it because they've had no choice
IOF issuing some untypically... stoic statements? definitely a more grim tone
Israeli military chief of staff Eyal Zamir:
“People of Israel, I can’t promise absolute success. The Iranian regime will attempt to attack us in response. The expected cost will be different from what we are used to,”
Meanwhile Iran has implied they will attack US targets
Foreign Ministry of Iran:
“The Zionist regime’s aggressive actions against Iran cannot have been carried out without the coordination and authorization of the United States. Accordingly, the United States government, as the main supporter of this regime, will also be responsible for the dangerous effects and consequences of the Zionist regime’s adventure.”
nah, I don't think so. Iran doesn't have the same social cleavages like those two colonial constructed states. Nationalism is still pretty strong too. Killing a few top guys ain't gonna dissolve the whole state. They may keep getting all their fancy stuff and leaders bombed until they finally learn from hamas and get bunker pilled
yesss knock their fucking lights out. Hit the water plants next please
