@girlbosswoman depends what you mean by collapse since the country isn’t fractured enough to enter into the true decline phase that we witness in other countries within the modern era
@CaiusBec@WeTheBrandon Ehhh, there’s no replacement for them right now since these defensive alliances in Europe and Middle East are still in the beginning stages and China doesn’t have enough influence amongst them.
Plus, Trump did much more self harm than Iran with 100% seriousness
@MangaEngineer77@Decapitatedape@_Mandia_ While that is morally terrible - better than a full scale Rumbling and it gives them a geographical advantage and ample time to industrialize and threaten the world with more rumblings for a few years whenever they try to form a coalition.
@MangaEngineer77@Decapitatedape@_Mandia_ My comment literally states while it is the only solution, the lesson is that is ALWAYs unacceptable and simply a tragedy of flawed human nature.
Otherwise, my personal solution is partial rumbling and imperialist policies to secure more continental settlements
@ArtoriusNZ@ZabiLegacy0093@nazbowling102 Does Libya, Iraq (Desert Storm and Iraq wars), Venezuela, or their various proxy wars (like Syria) not count?
Practically all other nations didn’t win whatever wars they participate in either as of recent memory, quite an difficult venture like we see in Iran or Ukraine
@AyeshaCH70@ZabiLegacy0093@promptborzai Desert Storm, Libya or Iraq War are the obvious answers - Isreal also performed well solely because of its near genocidal facilitation of their conflicts against Hamas or Hezbollah, and their conduct is notably more brutal then most American led ground invasions.
@nebulastra19@NewsWire_US ISIS didn’t kill that much compared to other notable examples out there - but most people would agree them or the Mexican cartels are the most brutal forces out there.
Same case for Al Queda/Taliban - they’ve effectively banned music and women’s rights (yes, there are laws)
@RealChrisJaxon@BigPeterNorth That seems like way too much of a simplification since it just seems to be an collection of groups that happened to have American and Soviet weaponry independently uniting into one over years - the Soviets might as well created every African Civl conflict by that logic
@Jia8088@KeanuNazari Like what we’re seeing in Iran and Ukraine, air defense networks have so much limitations against affordable saturation attacks since sophisticated AD are pretty damn hard to procure in large numbers
@Decapitatedape@_Mandia_ I thought Isayama has made it clear that even if the situation is as bleak and impossible as it gets, genocide just isn’t the right answer regardless of the security it brings
@ImNotHereFrX2@allahstomper@khoabuivan@gregjstoker None of them are in particular - the war is at an stalemate right now since Trump is too chicken to risk the GCC/invade while Iran is trying to wait out Trump’s presidency
@tombelaviv_ Didn’t Iran claim all of these bases were destroyed 50 times already, at this point, it feels like aside from the radar components, they’re quite easy to repair since they’re just plots of land
@yourmom232426@MarioNawfal The Iranians did state they struck and sunk the carrier multiple times so I think the crew need some respite after their revival
@RhockoHarrison Not only did the FGO story hinted at so much happening in a potential sequel, but I do need Alice to have more of a focal point as well
@aeaiyo@GLRGhost1488 Iran was seen as an incredibly strong U.S adversary though.
And not to mention, Russia is losing wars recently outside of Ukraine too - the U.S only has one aircraft carrier in that region, not exactly most of its forces
