takeaways from the strike in IRAN, the CCP loses big time on oil again.

google ai overview:

"Based on the unfolding situation as of March 2026, the joint U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran—following previous disruptions in Venezuela—have severely impacted China's (CCP) energy security, cutting off a major source of discounted crude and threatening its economic stability".

According to the stable genius the US both has, and has not, an unlimited supply of munitions. The "has not" part is, of course, the fault of President Biden, but also President Zelenskyy apparently.😆

The much hyped latest Chinese anti-stealth radar turned out to be junk. This sends a message to East Asia as well. Get your F35s now. American systems, even older F16s, come with a system wide advantage over anything China or Europe produces. Dumb move by Thailand going with the Gripens over the F16s. Thailand will now be on the outside of the American air defense network looking in.

Gripen has the link 16 that f-16 has, but above that it has link 39,

that allow for super impose the other gripens sensors on their own HUD.

the link T (Thailand) also provide seamless info from EriEye AWAC that thailand also has

And the war is spreading to Lebanon. Who knew that this attack on Iran had the potential to spread to a massive regional (or even worse) conflict - totally out of the blue, this!

Wrong yet again. This is not only a problem this is a massive calamity.

• America’s military is built for the wrong kind of war. The United States has optimized its defense industry for short, high-tech conflicts using precision weapons, but current global wars require sustained, large-scale production of conventional munitions. This has resulted in a dangerous industrial shortfall where America cannot produce enough basic ammunition like artillery shells and missiles to meet the demands of even two simultaneous regional wars.

• Technological superiority can’t replace techno-industrial capacity. The United States has dangerously over-relied on the assumption that its advanced technology can substitute for material superiority. Recent wars demonstrate that even the most advanced weapons are useless without the techno-industrial capacity to produce them in massive quantities, which is a lesson history has repeatedly taught, as seen with Germany’s defeat in World War II due to an inability to match Allied production.

• Solving the problem will take time and a shift in thinking. The United States is starting to address its techno-industrial shortcomings by increasing funding and production goals, but rebuilding supply chains, reopening factories, and training a new workforce will take years, not months. Truly fixing the issue requires a fundamental change in military philosophy, moving beyond a focus on cutting-edge, low-volume systems to embrace the strategic importance of mass production and stockpiling conventional munitions.

Takeaway from the strikes. Sometimes ya gotta peel back the onion, 47 years of holding the world's top state sponsor of terrorism to account, starting from the 1979 revolution and hostage crisis through endless proxy attacks via Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis.

Progressive policies ,Negotiate and sympathize with authoritarian tyranny,that's the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results). The once king of no wars, Trump, finally had enough of Iran's refusal to submit to real peace in the Middle East, pulling out of the failed JCPOA deal and ramping up maximum pressure. So did Sec of State Marco Rubio, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senator Tom Cotton, all backing decisive action to cripple Iran's missile and nuke threats before they escalate further.

These religious fanatics were hell bent on nukes, and the far left's appeasement (like Obama's deal that funneled billions back to Tehran) just fueled that insanity. Fact

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday said Iran posed an “imminent threat” to the United States following a series of strikes in the region".

Complete nonsense. Iran is the one running out, and this "war" (it's so one-sided I'm not sure it can be called a war) will be over within weeks. Likely with some form of secular government taking over. The time of the Ayatollahs is OVER.

Not necessarily.

Ultimate goal could be stability in the Middle East, but rogue countries need to be neutralized first.

And Iran is the last ? Gaddafi is gone ... not sure.

Of course Gaza issue also needs to be addressed.

So let's see how it plays out.

It always depends on which side od the mouth the Trump administration is speaking from.

AI Overview

As of July 2025, the United States has begun pausing or reducing some weapon shipments to Ukraine, specifically citing concerns that U.S. military stockpiles have dropped to critically low levels

. 

According to reports, this decision is part of a "prioritize America's interests" policy shift, driven by a Pentagon review that indicated key munitions—including 155mm artillery shells, Patriot air defense missiles, and GMLRS rockets—are in short supply. 

Key Aspects of the Ammunition Shortage & Supply Issue:

• Strained Stockpiles: The Pentagon’s policy chief, Elbridge Colby, led a review concluding that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles, and precision munitions has fallen below preferred levels.

Iran and Venezuela accounted for 17% of Chinas oil imports. They bought more oil from Saudi Arabia. China had already started pulling away from Iran and getting more of its oil from Russia. This war maybe good news for Russia since the sanctions and their war with Ukraine had started to show cracks in their economy.

That maybe but it still represents a significant ,costly blow to China's energy security, which was getting discount prices. Now China is concerned that Iran starting attacking their supplier the Saudi's.I don't know much about Russia , but Google see's it as a blow to China, I see you deflecting to Russia ,like its ok now for China kinda like its clear sailing in the future.

You nailed it.

One more thing if I may.

Fanaticism.

Let's also remember, in their core, in their heart of hearts, they were true believers of the Twelver Shia Islam who believe in Imam al-Zaman (the Imam of the Age), who is identified with Imam al-Mahdi (Muhammad al-Mahdi), the 12th Imam who is in occultation and will return at God’s appointed time. JEWISH GENOCIDE TIME.

This belief is a core part of Shia theology and the doctrine of Imamate.

CHATGPT:

From Sahih Muslim:

“The Hour will not be established until there has been much chaos (harj).”

They said: “What is harj?”

He said: “Killing, killing.”

The hadith about the stones and trees appears in:

Sahih Muslim, Book of Tribulations and Signs of the Hour (Kitab al-Fitan wa Ashrat al-Sa'ah),

Hadith number 2922 (in the standard Darussalam numbering). Here is the commonly cited wording from Sahih Muslim (Book of Tribulations and Signs of the Hour):

“The Hour will not be established until you fight the Jews, and the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stone or the tree will say: ‘O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him’ — except for the gharqad tree, for it is one of the trees of the Jews.”

A similar version appears in Sahih al-Bukhari, though wording varies slightly between narrations.

Fanatics who will gladly die for 72 raisins to help usher in the carnage of the last imam.

Oh, yes... it is actually raisins. The virgins idea is being debunked; apparently a mistranslation don't you know. Seriously. Would they be fanatics for 72 raisins? 🙄

My guess is that these geniuses think that starting another pointless war is going to help them in the mid-terms. Or maybe give them an excuse for declaring a state of emergency to cancel the election or whatever when someone inevitably does something on US soil.
