hands up those who think this will not happen
I think Iran can continue to keep the Gulf closed and can continue to pound all U.S. assets, including its U.S. vassal states, the Gulf states, because they’re going to run out of this extremely expensive ammunition, the anti-missile systems and their air defense systems that are currently unable to stop all the missiles. They stop a certain percentage of the Iranian attacks. The Iranians are starting their attacks with the older stuff, with the less effective stuff and including lots of decoys. And then they force the Americans and Israelis to use up their air defense systems, their Iron Dome-type anti-missile missiles and things like that, shooting at these decoys and shooting at the old stuff. And so the Americans and Israelis are going to run out of those munitions long before Iran runs out of its missiles.
And in this case, actually, I think the Gulf states and the U.S. military bases in the region are worse defended than Israel is. I mean, Israel is going to get really pounded. But the number of long-range missiles the Iranians have is just in the relatively low thousands. And the number of shorter-range missiles that they have is in the hundreds of thousands. And so those longer-range missiles are necessary for hitting Israel. And since they just have thousands of those, they’re not in that situation where they have infinite firepower to use against Israel, although they have an awful lot. They have enough to really be the equivalent of a nuclear deterrent. They could utterly obliterate Dimona and spread nuclear radiation all over Israel, and that’d be the end of Israel. So Israel probably is well advised not to try to escalate to the nuclear level, or that’s what’s going to happen to them.
But the American assets, these American military bases around the Gulf, are going to be totally undefended. And Iran’s going to have hundreds of thousands of missiles to hit them with. So that and the ships of the Gulf, of course, which are also soft targets. So essentially, Iran can remove the American military presence from the region. And yeah, that’ll be a game changer. And I think politically in the U.S. it’s going to be a real shock, and it could be the end of the Trump regime. And how that all shakes out in terms of what happens to the American empire, I don’t know. But all of the indicators are that the empire is heading down one way or another, at one rate of speed or another.
