5 Million People have been displaced.
Iran continues to hit oil tankers in gulf
Infrastructure throughout the Middle East is getting hit.
Be clear, the military targets being blown up-rockets, missiles, launchers, drones are far less than is being claimed by the US government and will EASILY be rebuilt or purchased from China and Russia. That part of the campaign is pointless.
Professor Pape (author of the escalation trap) is arguing that Iran will come out of this war as a 4th super power given they will control 20% of the world's oil. America will decline.
Giving up control of the Strait of Hormuz makes that inevitable. Iran will have dominance over it's ME neighbors.
JVL of the Bulwark had an interesting observation.
By Piggy calling for other countries to go seize the SoH and seize Iranian oil, Piggy is calling for groups of countries to actively unite in competition to America. That is rather an amazing fact. That America is saying ---- it to the rest of the world, like international relationships have no use.
It would be nice of some active military personnel would push back against the flagrant war crimes Piggy is constantly touting.
Of course, EVERY SINGLE BOMB DROPPED IS A WAR CRIME.
