    It’s a good time strategically for Russia to do this. It makes it harder for the US to divert more resources to the middle east. It’s reserves have already been stretched. The US can’t keep a proxy fight against Russia, and Iran supplied at the same time. Not to mention once it gets to that point China probably either becomes the weapons supplier for Iran, and Russia, or it joins directly. It might seem rough right now with the US and Zionist entity killing thousands, but these are the thrashings of a dying empire. Make sure you all stay safe, and just be ready in general. Shits gonna get worse before it gets better. Keep a go bag ready if your in a potential conflict zone because these things spread fast. Have a plan. Make sure your friends and family are prepared too. I want to see you all safe, and on here posting crabs when the US loses.

          It’s more than just that. The US always had aspirations to dominate the entire world. The USSR held them at bay in many regions, and was the reason the US couldn’t do so. The USSR gave many nations breatheing room to rebuild after WW2, and by the time the US managed to defeat the USSR it had lost its opportunity for global conquest. It did of course take over many regions, but it failed at complete domination. This is the wound which is now festering in American Empire. The empire cannot abide nations that do not bow to it. China yes is a big one, but it isn’t the only country America wants to subjugate. It’s just the most capable of defending itself. Even without China the US would still want to destroy Iran and install puppet governance.

          The issue the US now faces is the rest of the world has massively narrowed the gap that existed between it and other nations post-WW2. It can fight 1 or maybe 2 of them at once, but if they all fight it at once the US will be forced back into its own hemisphere. The US is playing a very dangerous game now. If it bombs Iran it has to commit to a war there long term. It will not be fast. If Russia keeps pressure up in europe, and China in the indo-pacific, perhaps even Brazil in South America asserting itself. The US cannot contain them all at once. It would need to triage and choose it’s battles.

          The empire seems over extended to me. They’re moving assets from the pacific INTO the mid east while their entire plan long term was supposed to be a pivot to the pacific. This is the opposite of what they had been wanting to do. It may see short term success against Iran, but long term i don’t think it benefits the US much. China also recently had a summit with the central asian nations, and i would be shocked if they arent trying to use those connections to keep Iran supplied. The terrain in Iran is also very rugged and mountainous. The US might be able to bomb it, but an invasion would be mostly impossible to succeed at.

          So yeah basically this is the shockwave of the USSR preventing total US global dominance after WW2. The US is struggling to get these regions fully under control, and finding itself unable to do so. It will become more violent as it gets desperate, and eventually it will be forced to consolidate its forces in the places it can control. Leaving vacuums for other regional powers to grow into. We already see this in how the US dialed down aid to Ukraine once Israel needed the weapons. Now Russia is on the verge of total victory.
