If you're normal, then you realise Israels going around committing genocide and invading neighbouring countries

Russia committed to stand with its “ally” Iran. But considering how much of a shit show Ukraine war is, I don’t think they can commit any resources to Iran. If it escalates, and I don’t see how it cannot escalate at this point, then US and Russia will be drawn into the middle east and that leaves crazy ass China to take over Taiwan when every body’s attention is divided…Xi is just as bat shit crazy ass yahoo, Putin, and Trump.

Even without Israel picking another fight with Iran, it is highly questionable to me whether Trump would actually support Taiwan if Emperor Xi decides to invade Taiwan though.

Depending on your source, the belt and road initiative has not garnered the kind of soft power China has hoped it would and it has been mostly suspended. Lots of the countries are not honouring the debt and China is out a lot of money
In terms of Trump, considering how anti-China he is I'd like to believe that he wouldn't sit back in the face of a Taiwan invasion.
I don't think Israel would lose an all out shooting war with Iran. One commentator I read said there's literally zero support from the rest of the Arab countries as Israel would have had to fly over a few of them in order to hit Iran and no one has really come out against them. Russia doesn't have any extra resources to divert to the Middle East so what we see is really what we get.

Israel probably letting a few go through, sacrifice a few of their own so that they can justify bombing the hell out of Iran and pulverizing them as they did with Gaza.

It is important to know that the Iron Dome is not able to (nor designed for) intercept all kinds of incoming projectiles. Additionally, IIRC even with the type of projectiles that it is designed to intercept, it is rumoured / guestimated to only have a ~90% intercept rate, and that rate can be further degraded the more incoming projectiles there are.
Real life projectile defence system isn't a Final Fantasy type of bubble force field that repel everything that is incoming.

Isn't that the joke? Everyone else is afraid of getting shot out of the sky except for Mahan Air apparently.
BKK is a huge international hub and Thailand let's pretty much anyone in so why wouldn't they be coming from there?

In my opinion, if Trump decides to enter the war and bomb Iran, it's the beginning of the end for his presidency. Good luck to JD Vance and any Republican running in 2028, and good luck to the Trump kids who might have wanted to run for office. Look what happened to the Bush legacy.

im almost certain hes going to send in US troops. hes committed now, he has to be. By giving israel the go ahead, and saying shit like Iran should Surrender when they are not the aggressor is basically saiyng Ukraine should surrender to Russia. Israel can bomb them, but unless they send in ground troops, they cant force a regime change.
Can the US public stand another fruitless and pointless war? After finally washing their hands of Afghanistan and Iraq?

I agree, Trump seems committed, but he’s likely waiting for a Gulf of Tonkin style incident before deploying troops.

That's my question, how far will his cult of personality go until his supporters finally call him out for his bullshit?
