@Astatine_210@podlesok86@ShaykhSulaiman I think you're confusing a surrendering enemy with a retreating one. Retreating only applies when something called hors de combat applies.
@FoolOfD If the gulf states fall/are significantly degraded through a humanitarian crisis or if they reconsider allowing US bases on their borders and stop supporting the dollar post conflict that's a victory for Iran. The victory conditions are different for each side.
@rockisinfinite In a war with heavy casualties where there is a guy who singlehandedly changes the outcome of battle like a demigod. I think most people would show some deference, awe or fear seeing him for the first time like a Space Marine. Snarkiness is not the first thing that comes to mind
@MarcusCVance if she's a lieutenant even in a special unit, she's maybe 2 4 years off the academy in active-duty tops, pulling rank on an E-9 as an O-2 or worse an O-1 seems unwise and a rookie mistake. If she is still a lieutenant in an active theater for 4 years, then she's got some issues.
@GuruOfSyrinx I don't understand the obsession with wanting gaming franchises to just go on and on and on forever, regardless of quality. That's how you get crap like Call of Duty every year.
@AnalyticaCamil1 you can interpret this as super-secret advanced weapons or simply as using a THAAD which would otherwise have been used in a conflict with China.
@disclosetv the golden age, sure bud. Decay has been accelerating since 2020 and the US probably speedran its decline by 10 years with the Iran debacle.
