    Did I say Iran couldn’t do any damage?

    My whole point is the tit for tat can’t go any longer. And I’ve been vindicated (a bit) so far in that my 3rd scenario is starting to play out. Full mobilizing of the IRGC, scatter orders. US strikes are heavier and more frequent.

    The strait cannot be fully closed again/ much longer without serious physical shortages starting to appear. Therefore Iran either has to capitulate or go over the top and go for max pain.

        So it was a “one of these things is bound to happen” list, not a “these are all going to happen” list.

        And #3 is absolutely panning out so far. We will see if it keeps up. But curious how you are so confident in your criticism when it’s literally happening…

        Or were you like most others thinking I was predicting all three things would happen, which is absolutely stupid because they can’t by definition all happen.

          Number 3 isn’t a prediction if it’s already happening, I thought that that would be obvious. The other 2 points are nonsensical. And my original comment was making fun of your statement that the US can flatten Iran at will.

              9 hours ago? It absolutely was lol. Where do you get your news? Sounds like they’re olds by the time you get em lol.

              Also I think there’s some juice to the US ground invasion prediction but I don’t think it’s going to go badly for Iran lol.

                21 hours…9 was the edit.

                Although I suppose you have to take my word on that since I don’t think you can see edit histories.

                But yeah.
