I expect "Operation Prosperity Guardian" to be really boring actually. Yemen shoots a few drones at the coalition fleet, the fleet intercepts them with 4x as many missiles worth enough money to end world hunger overnight. Maybe they drone strike an abandoned firing position or elementary school in retaliation like they normally do. Rearm and repeat for weeks. No warships sunk but also still too dangerous for merchant shipping. Half measures all around.

Though ansar Allah could have some clever plan or just score a lucky hit, in which case we may have some decades happen. But tying down three US carrier groups is impressive enough on its own.

Am I overreacting or does "we will financially ruin anyone organizing a peaceful protest" not logically lead to adventurism?

it logically leads to more than adventurism, it leads to whole organizations choosing to operate underground. He's inadvertently creating a market incentive for rebellion ancap-good

I disagree, the tricolor made it look too European.

watch the next Republican president blame all future economic problems on the "lingering effects of bidenomics" too. They're just going to be going back and forth gaslighting each other while the rest of America is continuously immiserated

don't need to be wealthy, it's about your relationship to the means of production. Petite bourgeoisie just own and work their own means of production. Small business owners can't afford that lavish shit either

not necessarily, the petite bourgeoisie also include those who own and work their own means of production, which would include self-employed artisans.

Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Asymmetric Warfare:

They will never produce a "cheap" weapon, for it is institutionally impossible for the American MIC to stop grifting. Just how many active fronts can the empire afford?
