    it seems to be the same as all of the other hit-and-run bombings that the us empire has been doing for the last 20 year. the only difference is that it’s against an adversary that has sufficiently prepared for it including a strategy that hits the empire where it’s the weakest with its economy.

    I don’t know that this has an appropriate comparison. Right now it’s more like the US committed a terrorist attack than a war.

      I disagree, you’re seeing the future of modern warfare defeat the quagmire-for-profit as strategy. Decentralization, drone mass-production (which Iranians codified), usage of missiles to disassemble military infrastructure and the electrical grid, long range land-to-ship combat making aircraft carriers obsolete (okay not obsolete but future ones are going to be unrecognizable to most people, I really ought to post on here completely slipped my mind), the puncturing of the advertising claims made about air defence with saturation and hypersonics + degradation of its rare earth supply chain. Ukraine lost so many electrical transformers this way that the US production lines ran into difficulty meeting the needs of repairs at home and abroad, and by the way, disabling small-scale stuff is meant to avoid denying people fresh water. Hit power generation and you’re out of the game for good. Iran is aiming to destabilize banking and insurance. USA was aiming for a “short war” or I guess special combat op now iirc

      Coming to terms with how little I understand the need of capital to produce these psychotic decisionmakers & internal Washington politics tbqh, got too focused abroad

        Your comment was interesting but a complete non sequitur to start with the claim “I disagree”.

        Nothing you wrote refuted the claim that the current “war on Iran” is more of a terrorist operation. Ukraine has boots on the ground so it’s not really comparable to Ukraine.

          The terror bombing etc is their war strategy it has worked before, I don’t think it is illustrative to describe it as not a war. That would be true of many military “interventions” they have conducted recently. Not something confined to terror bombing of Tehran here, that’s what’s being publicized in western outlets as they can feign outrage, and it is the only thing the US can pass off as a success.

          The trick has been running a military the global south pays for and losing wars in a way that devastates regions to cement the hierarchy of development, infinite money, no problems right? Well,

    While not exactly a war, it may be compared to Anschluss

    Edit: If they go for a land invasion, I would replace my suggestion with Stalingrad.
