Apparently it's about to get a lot worse for israel. "Chief of General Staff of Armed Forces of Iran: So far We conducted the operations to limit the attacking capability of the regime and the punitive operations will begin soon.*
This from 2 hours ago Tuesday June 17th
What this indicates is what many people have noted that Iran is doing this in a very smart way. They use their oldest and worst missiles to use up Israel's anti-missile defense capabilities and now they're starting to hit Israel with their smarter newer missiles and they have a lot more of them.
A US invasion of Iran would likely result in a protracted and costly conflict with significant regional and global repercussions. While the US military could likely achieve initial military objectives, such as overwhelming Iran's conventional forces, the subsequent occupation and pacification of Iran would be extremely challenging, potentially leading to a long-term insurgency and destabilizing the Middle East. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Military Considerations:
Initial Superiority:
The US military possesses significantly greater technological and conventional military strength than Iran. A US invasion could potentially overwhelm Iran's conventional forces relatively quickly.
Guerrilla Warfare:
However, Iran has a history of resisting foreign powers and could rely on asymmetric warfare tactics, such as guerrilla warfare, to bog down US forces in a prolonged conflict.
Regional Instability:
An invasion would likely spark widespread regional instability, with potential for increased terrorist attacks, sectarian violence, and proxy wars involving Iran and its allies.
Geopolitical Consequences:
International Condemnation:
A US invasion of Iran would likely draw international condemnation, potentially isolating the US and damaging its global standing.
Escalation Risks:
The conflict could escalate to involve other regional powers, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, or even Russia, leading to a broader regional conflict.
Economic Impacts:
Oil prices would likely surge due to the instability in the Middle East, and global trade would be disrupted.
Domestic Impacts:
High Casualties:
A war with Iran would inevitably result in significant casualties on both sides, including US soldiers and Iranian civilians.
Economic Costs:
The war would be extremely expensive, diverting resources from other areas and potentially straining the US economy.
Social Divisions:
Public opinion on a war with Iran is likely to be deeply divided, potentially exacerbating social and political divisions within the US.
Overall:
A US invasion of Iran would be a high-risk, high-cost endeavor with potentially devastating consequences for all parties involved. While the US military could likely achieve initial military objectives, the subsequent occupation and pacification of Iran would be extremely challenging, potentially leading to a long-term insurgency and destabilizing the Middle East. The conflict would also likely have significant global repercussions, including economic disruption, international condemnation, and the risk of escalation.
It may take man thousands of years before figuring out how to travel faster than light. Someone build an App that makes Artificial Intelligence unravel, test, and procure physics in search of a means of making this happen. Maybe a REST API with ChatGPT or however the shit works. Have it keep pushing until it finds breakthroughs.
Trump is building all this AI infrastructure. May as well put it to good use for once.

The most important thing to understand about this is that, post 2008, the economy never got better, only the stock market did. That's because they didn't bail out the economy, they bailed out the stock market. Which is great for people who were already retired, or who were about to be, because something like 90% of the stock market is people's retirement funds.
And by "bail out the stock market" what I specifically mean is something they called "quantitative easing", a.k.a. the creation of fake digital dollars that they injected directly into the stock market, bypassing the economy. Of course, this has led to drastic inflation (that we can no longer ignore), but if you were, or are now, retired, you hardly noticed, because what was creating the inflation was also proportionally inflating your retirement fund...
People keep waiting for the stock market to do a massive correction. I'm not sure why, because it already did...in 2008...
The "correction" is all around you. Young people can't find jobs, young people not getting married, young people not having kids, young people this that and the other thing, because...
The stock market correction indeed did happen, they just deflected the affects of it away from, ironically, those already in the stock market, and onto those just trying to work, a.k.a. younger people. It had been Millennials, now it's Gen-Z because they're the one's just trying to start working now, but it's not new. And if you want to know what happened to those unfortunate Millennials, just look at the suicide/ overdose rates for men ages 25-45 right now. That's what happened.
Like I said, the correction is all around you, and, in many cases, 6 feet under...
