got this take on predictive history yesterday already :p
A couple more weeks but Iran is throwing in the odd multi head missiles now and smashing up the infrastructure with the older stuff.
It is rather very hard for a "regime change" to be executed. The reason is, not only is the iranian government a political entity but also a revered religious one. The "supreme leader" is like a prophet to the shias. They see him as infallible and that his orders are divine. So they're not just a political entity but also a religious one.
Yes there are a few that don't like him including the minority sunnies in souther iran, but they're a very much a minority. Most of the iranians approve of their government.
Regime change is highly unlikely. Iran has been preparing for this eventuality for decades.
How do the germans manage to be so often in the wrong side of history?
NATO V Russia, North Korea and China. Israel V Iran. USA, Pakistan and China V Russia, Israel and India. Stop fight. It’s time Very dangerous diplomatic relationship in The world. Wake up Humanity.
History shows that war is always asymmetric. Goliath doesn't always win. eg Spanish Armada, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Battle of Britain, etc etc
This is an economic war, unpopular in the USA where "household affordability" is on everyone's mind. Trump has canceled health care and food stamps for millions yet is spending trillions on this offensive which does nothing for the average American. The mid terms will not be kind to this administration.
Regime doesn’t mean anything
Go IRAN❤❤❤❤
IRAN has 80000 Drones ready
Iran’s economy is among the worst out of all 14 Middle Eastern nations and now their oil is shut off. They have attacked Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, Israel and Cyprus. They are also at war with the United States. France and the UK are sending defensive capabilities. , Germany is weighing its options. Pakistan has also warned Iran of the mutual defense treaty they have with the Saudis.
The same experts said russia is running out of missiles but it never stopped…
Turmps determination to keep the eptien file burried wont last
Iraq, afganistan, syria, libya, & now iran the consistency is very evident. Need say more?
Use drones to fight drones
The missiles will stop before Sunday.
It won't stop quietly, it will stop with a very very big bang. Common sense says so…. Tic Toc Boom….
US uses a 4 M€ missile to stop a 20k€ drone. You know who's going bankrupt soon.
u will never ever make the other party submit, no matter how many times you attack his country.
is like you will never bow down to your enemy that has killed your families no matter how long it takes.
so forever you will need to attack Iran and be wary of them.
when time comes, there will be a day people can strike back with meaningful damage.
Now western media has started,how long 😂😂😂😂😂
The US is going through it's own dictatorship problems…Donald Trump's strategy for taking over U.S. institutions and creating what critics call a dictatorship involves using executive power to stock the government with loyalists, target political opponents, weaken independent agencies, and expand presidential authority. These plans are largely outlined in a blueprint developed by conservative organizations, most notably Project 2025, published by the Heritage Foundation.
Key elements of this strategy include:
Replacing the Civil Service: Reinstating the "Schedule F" executive order, which would reclassify tens of thousands of nonpartisan federal employees as political appointees, allowing them to be fired at will and replaced with individuals loyal to the president's agenda.
Politicizing the Justice Department: Ending the independence of the FBI and the Department of Justice, and using them to investigate and prosecute political opponents, rather than operating without political interference.
Expanding Presidential Power: Asserting a broad interpretation of the "unitary executive theory" to give the president near-absolute control over the entire executive branch, including independent agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Using the Military for Domestic Issues: Invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement, which critics argue could be used to suppress dissent and intimidate political opposition.
Controlling Information and Elections: Weakening independent media through defunding public broadcasting and potentially reexamining press access to the White House. There are also plans to federalize elections in some states and control the U.S. Postal Service to influence the handling of mail-in ballots.
Implementing Ideological Agendas: Using federal agencies to implement far-right policies, such as a nationwide abortion ban, rolling back LGBTQ+ rights, and dismantling environmental protections.😊
Good luck policing the oceans, world… As of late 2025, the U.S. national debt-to-GDP ratio is around 125%, while total household (personal) debt is about 61.4% of GDP.

Outlook: Projections from sources like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) indicate the ratio will continue to rise in the coming years, driven by sustained primary deficits and rising interest costs.
