Such a bad list :lol:

No matter how you feel about this military event, Iran militarily is never going to be the same.

They are losing stockpiles far faster than can be replaced. Between them randomly spraying neighbors and US military hitting supplies.

Russia cannot really give them much in new hardware and we should leverage our control of Chinese economy to get them removed.

Adding. I am going with Lenovo for my college freshman.

Do not over think it, nor over spend.

Straight from Hollywood Reporter article

It is surprising Iran is willing to take on the entire Middle East, and the Middle East is not freaking mad as hell.

In what world are other ME countries OK with this? They should be mobilizing World War 11 style to wipe out the Nazis of the Middle East (Iran), yet it is just X posts back and forth. Iran wants to be the bad arse on the block and control the area, it is amazing the other countries are even trying to negotiate a peace deal.

Led by US air and naval power, the Arabs mount a ground war and lay waste to that country and turn them into modern day Germany (worthless pansies).

Good gosh, who knew we need Sadaam Hussien back to give those other countries some balls to do the needful.

It’s that starship just doesn't get over the hump. It’s struggled compared to falcon 9 development

That is not even on the ballpark of correct and an argument could be made Starship is ahead of Falcon 9 in the dev timeline.

Falcon 9 was a medium lift rocket with partial reusability. The upper stage was nothing revolutionary, while the booster was ground breaking. From initial development to reusability was roughly 10 years, roughly where Starship is today. Starship has already matched Falcon 9 in reuse of the booster. Starship is now working on phase 2, which is reuse of upper stage. To compare equally to Starship, you would need to also add Falcon 9 Heavy and Dragon development times, as Starship is Heavy lift (Falcon Heavy) and re-use for crew or supplies (Dragon).

You then add Starship is blazing a path for orbital refueling and lunar lander, something Falcon 9 cannot do.

Starship is an order of magnitude larger undertaking than Falcon 9 and ahead of Falcon 9 development.

There is zero reason we have not carpet bombed every single city on the cost and power plants. We do not have to wipe out the country, but b-52s should be dropping every last dumb bomb we have across any coastal establishment.

Any civilians left there now, we should just consider adversaries.
