This evening.
A crazier radicalized version, ready to defeat Israel and it's puppet.
Spain, and France, are the only smart European country right now, we should literally call it an illegal war, calling the war crimes and close our sky as a whole block.
Then talk with Iran and start paying shit in euro.

Well they had killed intelligence head before, doesn’t matter, IRGC is an institution kinda, and have lined up many successors. What matters is whether those successors are mossad linked or not.

But at some point, that chain of command gets degraded. You can continue promoting people, but they won't have the same effectiveness and may not have all the information that their predecessor had if you go down far enough down the list.

I think it’s less about individuals and more about the system itself. These kinds of organizations are designed to survive losses, so replacing people doesn’t necessarily weaken it right away.

They're definitely supposed to survive losses but at some point it does become untenable. It's like a house. If I remove a wall or 2, nothing happens. The more I remove however, the more unstable the house becomes. It's like how Al Quaida became decentralized and less effective once the central leadership was taken out.

So now imagine a country that fires its Secretary of Defense and puts in an alcoholic TV show host who renames the department, “Department of War.” He than starts firing all its top generals and starts trashing anyone who isn’t a straight, white male. Would this obviously ridiculous scenario cause that countries army to be less effective?

It’s like a deadly version of corporate middle management. There’s always someone waiting in the wings for a promotion, but in this case, the "onboarding" process involves a lot of polygraphs and wondering if your office is bugged.

Beg for a deal and reopening the Strait, while assassinating their top leaders!
Although I'm quite certain this was Israel's doing. Cause they never wanted any diplomatic solution.

It’s amazing how every single Friday for the past month trumps given them 48, or 72 hour deadlines, and every Monday, or Tuesday following it, suddenly he doesn’t do anything at all.
I’d almost think it’s market manipulation, but the market wouldn’t allow itself to get manipulated 4-5 weekends in a row, right? Right?????

I love the convenient leaks of a deal a few hours before market open again and it will work, again. Stocks will bounce 3 or 4%, a few insiders will make their moves, oil will drop 15% and then Iran will launch an attack and say they never had any intention of signing a peace with the US.
This is round 4 and everyone still pretends its real even though they know it's bullshit. There's money to be made so who gives a shit if it's all fake?

Doesn't matter. You cut off one head, another three will sprout up. It's like that one scene in GTA V where Michael is trying to close all those p********** pop-up ads on a computer but more and more just keep popping up.
The institutions that dictate Iran are extremely deep-rooted and entrenched. Once again, the US and Israel are both f****** idiots for pursuing this nonsensical war.

It is well known that the pilot is more valuable than the airframe even though they may be flying a 200 mil jet. You can't just recruit a new one.
Its like promoting me to my superior's position effective immediately. I would probably only be a le to do about 30% of what he is doing today. If the whole chain of command is wiped out and I'm suddenly the CEO that would be bad news for the company. Sure in the short run the factory continues to run and ship product but these guys are looking at the long view, what strategic decisions are being made which impact the product in the next few years and how to keep all the infrastructure running.

Well I mean you do just recruit a new one
The military pilot program is incredibly competitive, with more applicants than fighter pilot s****
Some militaries can afford more pilots than planes so they'd prefer to lose the first over the second
Here the US we can accidentally roll a plane off a carrier and shrug "ain't my money"

That doesn't mean they're stupid. It means their country's much poorer and has far fewer resources than the strongest military power on Earth. They could be the smartest people in the world, but the U.S. will still figure out where they are and they have basically no way to protect themselves from whatever the U.S. throws at them.

Then by that logic they are stupid. If they are so weak and have less resources why threaten half of middle east? Why say you want to destory Israel completely? Why have terrorist proxies clearly linked to them causing havoc around the Middle East if they cant defend themselves properly?
That is the definition of stupidity.

There is a big difference in "can't defend themselves" and "can't defend themselves against the most powerful military in the world." The regime is still in charge, so they are still defending themselves. They are just using asymmetrical warfare via the Strait of Hormuz.
Also, this pretty much nukes any negotiations going on between the United States and Iran.

Dont change the words around. I said "cant defend themselves properly".
Having your leaders killed every other week, having most of your defensive armory capabilities destroyed and surviving on rat tactics is not properly defending yourself.
On top of that, they are ALSO getting help from China and Russia - the 2nd and supposedly third strongest militaries in the world.

US intelligence says they still have at least half of their capabilities intact, so it's not "most." They can still wreak havoc over the Middle East.
There's also no such thing as "rat tactics" in war. Iran is using all the leverage they have, which includes locking down the Strait of Hormuz. Kissinger said it best:
>We fought a military war; our opponents fought a political one. We sought physical attrition; our opponents aimed for our psychological exhaustion. In the process we lost sight of one of the cardinal maxims of guerrilla war: the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win.
It's the same playbook being repeated from Vietnam, but on a larger scale.

Well, in this case it's not like they have much choice.
Horrible as they are, they didn't start this war - they were willing to offer practically all the demanded concessions when Donny went in bombing.
It was already known Iran couldn't match US military capacity in a direct war. What they can do is work on the strait and make sure the war costs too much for the rest of the world.
That doesn't take too much strategic thinking or leadership - but negotiating a ceasefire would, which means killing the top guys would be a bad idea despite the catharsis factor

That p**** ad thing happened to me irl one time, and then my grandma walked into the doorway. I got up and hit the light switch off cause it also turned off the computer. She wondered why I did that, but never saw the computer screen thank god.

My PS3 was pretty slow at the time due to some hardware issues (back in 2013) and I usually played GTA V after I tucked my little brother (who was in kindergarten) to bed. So when the scene came on, I struggled to close the ads.
Then I caught him peeping through the bedroom door to have a quick peek at the living room's TV screen when I uncomfortably looked around to see if anyone was watching

LOL, when I was 16 ish years old I walked in to my dad's home office and he hurried and closed a window without realizing there was another p*** windows open behind it. I drug our conversation out as long as I could. Chatted with him for 10 minutes with a p*** pop-up playing behind him.

Well, better than killing some more kids or paramedics, I suppose.
But if there was supposed to be a ceasefire deal being worked on, killing a major guy on the other side seems a pretty stupid move. Unless Trump thinks this will scare the rest into cooperating?
