Civilian infrastructure is always the first casualty of war. Within minutes of the US strike on Iran's B1 Bridge, social media suddenly grew a bleeding heart for the IRGC. For the 5 weeks before the bridge was hit, Iran had been targeting and striking civilian infrastructure but the outrage around that was conveniently nowhere to be seen. Each week the war drags, the premium cost of civil reconstruction grows.
You're the IRGC: your own people hate you, your neighbors hate you, the Russians use you like a pawn, the US obliterated your navy and missile capabilities, your leadership is dead, Israel actively dismantled your proxies Hamas and Hezbollah.
What the fuck are you fighting for?
A lot of these comments are really ignorant to the fact that the US has been absolutely obliterating IRGC installments and the US has been begging them to stop so they don't send more of Iran's sons to graves.
"We don't want war. But if you want war with the United States of America, there's one thing I can promise you, so help me God: Someone else will raise your sons and daughters."
@GrindeOptions A lot of bot accounts and propaganda have convinced a vocal minority to show sympathy to a nation being attacked for 47 years of aggression and terrorism.
Has anyone given any thought to the insane amount of money it'll take to rebuild the Middle East?
Thank about a region without Hezbollah, Hamas, or the Houthis - how prosperous would it be?
As a European, I apologize to Americans for all the idiocy coming from our side.
You save your pilots no matter the cost.
You send humans to the moon.
You fight authoritarianism head-on.
It's truly inspiring.
We're on the wrong side of the moral equation.
Trump has the leverage and he knows it. The question isn't whether he can win this war. It's whether he can win the peace. Full piece at the link below. This is what Breaking Metrics tracks. Follow and subscribe if you want more infrastructure and energy analysis like this every week.

Trump started this war and now he has to deliver something durable. A ceasefire gets the guns quiet, but a lasting peace deal gets the cranes moving. The difference between those two outcomes is worth hundreds of billions in deferred investment and that number grows every week.
@GoDaddy you guys not only botched my server migration, but you also conveniently "lost" my entire database during the process. I've had none of my primary sites or apps working for 3 days. I know what I'll be doing with my money when my plan expires.
