    you can’t take on iran now though can you? can you do the same to china? lost to yemen and even vietnam.

    ooo they are terrorizing a tiny defenseless island! whatever can we do!

    again, your problem is that you don’t want it. bother to inconvenience yourself a little bit to fight for something and not even cuba would be bullied.

          Right but they can waste enough resources to prevent development catching up with them which is exactly what they are doing.

              Have you seen the photos of Gaza? Bridges in Iran etc … Tehran was covered in a layer of oil rain when they blew up the refinery. That’s plenty of cancer and illness for future generations.

                  Yes they are in terms of wasting Iran’s resources on rebuilding existing infrastructure rather than progressing. Same in Europe tbf. They have European governments fighting amongst themselves due to artificially created crises such as energy and migrants. It seems to me you are underestimating them.

                    so they started a war that’s already straining their oil supply (something they need for their global hegemony at that), shown themselves to have weak supply chains, lost actual billions in military infrastructure without a way to rebuild and pretty much consolidated one of the biggest oil chokepoints on earth under their enemies control…

                    but iran uses a few cheap shaheds and has to rebuild civilian infrastructure is what makes them the losers, what?
