It is not 10 days since the beginning of ‘Operation Epic Fury,’ launched during the Jewish celebration of Purim. I think we can now conclude that this is starting to look like one of the worst thought-out military operations in recent memory.
Very well put, a lot of posters have greatly discredited themselves by cheering this clown show on. Trump's legacy is probably in the gutter, now, too.
His legacy could get turned around if this neuters the Israelis and neocons. Now sure how I feel about the Gulf states being bedouinized but that's a matter of personal taste.
Public is turning on Likud and can't sustain themselves against the current pace of bombardment materially or psychologically. There's discussion of mass fall back to another country but they're spooked by their own antisemitism propaganda. Big loss of faith,this is three major conflicts in three years.
The 12 Days War lasted 12 Days because that was all the Israeli public could stomach. We're now on day 10. What offroad is available?
Isn't it still too early to say for sure whether or not posters supporting the war have discredited themselves? It's not as though America and Israel have already lost.
As an Iranian analyst, I must say that describing something from only one angle is never a good thing. I'm afraid you have not at all assessed the Iranian aspect of this equation and are only reading it from your own viewpoint. That's not all there is. I'm sorry but that's just a fact!!
It's interesting that Trump has been reluctant to get into this war but has suddenly become very committed to it. We know that he cares deeply about the economic costs yet somehow he was pushed into it by netanyahu as Rubio said Maybe it was because of the ease of the Venezuela project, as you say, or maybe he is much closer to being exposed by the epstein scandal and needs a diversion, possibly both. Whatever his motivation, he has clearly bitten off more than he can chew and he is not good at war. Public opinion is overwhelmingly against him and the economicpain has barely even begun. Iran is not caving like Venezuela did, in fact, they and China appear to be poised for a massive strategic victory. Sending the US and israel home without a successful invasion will signal to the world that Iran can cripple the world economy at will and US power is in very steep decline (which everyone knows is true anyway despite Venezuela and Greenland bullying). I would be very worried right now if I were Taiwan.
Things are looking up for the enemies of ZOG. It appears now that Russia will not lose in Ukraine, Iran will not be taken without massive American blood and economic pain which is unlikely to be tolerated and Chinese influence has never been so attractive. The end of jewish-anglo hegemony nears and I, for one, couldn't be happier. Go Iran! Go Russia! Go BRICS! May ZOG die a brutal and gruesome death lol
The biggest strategic defeat for the USA will culminate in the form of a pivot towards China by the Gulf States, who, after feeling existentially threatened by the risks to their economic lifeblood via the USA's gift of instability, will seek out China establishing a larger and more comprehensive presence in the region in response to the USA's more unpredictable, bipolar, bad faith geopolitical behavior.
I doubt the intention from Israel was to even win the war but instead destabilise the region. Worked a treat in that regard. They will likely fake an attack on al asqa mosque next
I promise I’m not trying to be a contrarian here but I think there’s a major blind spot a lot of folks in this sphere have. Likely from the culture of anti-war/anti-American intervention being the default for the past quarter/half century.
Look, I think we need to get real. Whatever happens with Iran, or how this current situation pans out, America (Israel) is probably going to get its way. If you survey every conflict that’s been a “failure” or a “blunder” since the end of WWII, from the standpoint of the regime, they’ve all been smashing successes.
I’m not rooting for ZOG. I’m not rooting for GAE. I’m not rooting for Israel, World Jewry or the Epstein class. I’m just assessing the situation as realistically as I can.
We’ve been hearing a similar tune about the inevitable fall of the American Empire for decades now, yet it keeps growing stronger, or at least eventually getting its way. It does what it wants across the globe, while roughly half of its people apologize for it. It “loses” every conflict on the ground or in the court of public opinion. Frames them as blunders or quagmires, yet still eventually benefits from them.
Keith, you’ve always been willing to call out the more, shall we say, fantastical elements or narratives of the scene. I think the generic mindset of “This is terrible/embarrassing for the Empire! Utter defeat inevitable!” whenever it makes moves geopolitically, is as delusional as the Tim Pool “CIVIL WAR NEXT WEEK!” mindset. It’s just not happening.
Similarly, we're not supporting Iran either per se. But we can still view it as a useful/necessary balancing force in the region. It's the final country on General Wesley Clarke's infamous list (the 'seven countries in five years' quote). A world with Israel becoming hegemonic in the region is a terrible outcome for the world. If they're this bad now, can you imagine how bad they'd act with Israel as unsanctionable nation suffering no competitor in the region?
We could win, but at what cost? What would be the ROI? The fact that we were shooting down drones with expensive kit (instead of cheap Ukrainian interceptor drones) just shows you how much hubris was involved.
Wrong on every count in your lazy analysis & Leftist wacko conclusions about our nation's noble Western Crusade to demolish a 47-year long cancerous malignancy of pure evil in the Middle East.
America has successfully destroyed most all of their ballistic missiles, all their air defenses, uranium R&D facilities, all of Iranian Naval & Air Forces, in addition to the first and second level of their sinister theocratic mullahs, military generals, ISRG thug leaders as well as most of the “civilian” leadership…all of which has nearly destroyed the economy, and nearly stifled the once vibrant soul of 90 million non-Muslim Persian people.
What alternate world do you inhabit to believe all those accomplishments of President Trump and our brave warriors is for naught??? Lol
Keith, why are you not talking about the 40 thousand dead American soldier, the entire fleet sunk or in retreat to India and the Iranian army advancing to the river Jordan?
By doing nothing, Iran has won the war before it even started.
How do you square this being the first war the neocons have ever disliked with the it’s always Israel take? Sometimes old software needs updating… Two things can be true, the US got into way too many wars in the past and this one could be actually productive. Iran has been the boogie man for 50 years and it looks to be defanged once and for all. Also, oil prices dropped massively already and the straits of Hormuz are open.
Iranian demonstrations in December '25 were a CIA/Mossad/Mi6 operation, as admitted by Scott Beasant, US Treasury Sec.
The Iranian Rial currency value was attacked to inflate it by first mass buying and then dumping.
This created high inflation on food costs and supplies. This led to street protests.
The CIA/Mossad marshalled its cells in Kurdish ,Azeri and Baluchi areas and the domestic MEK terrorists ,funded , armed and supplied Communication co-ordination with estimated 40.000 Starlink terminals.
A repeat of the Maidan Coup tactic was then used, by firing from above on the Police and demonstrators, to blame Irans Govt.
Western Media propagandised the deaths.
Chinese /Russian technology 'blinded' the Starlinks after a few days of confusion and 'triangulated' the location of the cells and eliminated many.
This delayed the Regime operation and without internal support and sabotage the US/Israel attack operation will fail.
US/iSRAEL ground troop invasion is not viable because of the mountainous terrain and the Kurds have already been betrayed by the US in Syria and are a reluctant to get involved in a losing war.
Very well put, a lot of posters have greatly discredited themselves by cheering this clown show on. Trump's legacy is probably in the gutter, now, too.
Probably? Dudes a pedophile - along with war criminal. His reputation is shot. For Israel.
His legacy could get turned around if this neuters the Israelis and neocons. Now sure how I feel about the Gulf states being bedouinized but that's a matter of personal taste.
How would it neuter Israel?
Go read hebrew language social media.
Er, why not just answer the question? It would be much easier than all of us having to read your mind - or learn Hebrew.

Thanks. That's all I wanted.

Israel put itself and the whole US imperial aparatus at existential risk for a symbolic killing of an 86 year old cancer patient.
I think God has this one covered.
Bah whats a couple hundred dead schoolgirls compared to the security of our loyal ally that has fought alongside us in every...oh wait

you are either Indian or some expat who’s opinion is not that of the general Iranian (i.e. irrelevant)
The only metric that matters in this war is Israeli sentiment towards Netanyahu's coalition. Everything else is tertiery.
Azerbaijan?

Political Tensor was found out as a Middle Eastern spook. You need to be more careful with your sourcing.

Lets hope this prediction is better than the "Trump is Heading for Defeat" one...
I wrote a similar piece you might find worth reading: https://substack.com/home/post/p-190102361
A little long, but interesting reading, yes.
bro is called sam epstein 🥀
The article is garbage too 😂
Any substantive critique?
