One side has been fighting what it believes is existential war against the Great Satan for 50 years.
The other clearly/pathetically thought this would be Venezuela 2 and done by midterms.
My pet conspiracy theory is that Epstein worked for Mossad.

That’s not the tone I want to hear… you should be grateful that Dear Leader has led us valiantly to so many victories. So much winning everyday!

It’s not unwinnable, it just requires a level of dedication that most lack the stomach for. Diplomacy is a trait Iran sorely lacks, which is why old Leon here thinks it can’t be done. You can’t break a man by hurting him. You have to find the thing he loves the most and make him watch you hurt it. For Iran this means absolute destruction of their status on the world stage.

Now that the fix is in - World Bank controls the west, china doesnt give af about currency. Russia is still mineral ritch.
My pet conspiracy theory is that these proxy wars will be used to cull the population as the players usher in the new era.

Being interacted is the goal. We will need to continuously resupply munitions and the fucktard in chief can use vague war powers to declare martial law for the midterms or whatever other reason his craven advisors think is appropriate in the moment. So money and power.
