This better be a full blown ground war, none of this pussy "tactical" shit they pulled in Nam and 04. 80 million Hajis aren't just gonna let Khamenei walk with a few skirmishes and some oil fields burning. They are going to want BLOOD, and we will be forced to level their entire geographic position with artillery ordnance. This is precisely what the warhawks Pompeo, Bolton, and Commander in Chief Pumpkin want. Thousands of Americans and millions of Iranians will die over some shitty sand dune, and a mass humanitarian/geopolitical crisis will emerge from its ruin.

In my world politics we learned about there is always a war that happens between the falling world power and the second place, rapidly rising other power (so U.S.A. vs China). I predict the Russians and Chinese providing mass assistance to Iran and it will be one of the most economically damaging wars in addition to mass loss of life, if China/Russia decide to not get involved directly. It will cement China as the number one power and the fall of the United States as the global hegemonic power.

This is the invasion of Japan the U.S. never got if it happens (in terms of dedicated populace willing to kill themselves).
i'm generally pretty terrified of a nation that sends children to perform mineclearing with their bodies or frontal assaults on regular troops

I'm sure Khamenei and Trump are fully willing to let a few hundred thousand perish for their goals. The former for God, and the latter for Economy. Either way, this could potentially be the opening to some of the worst atrocities in recent memory if left unchecked.

But hey someone please tell me how first-past-the-post single-member districts are such a good system for electing legislative bodies.

FPTP is great so long as you have primary elections that ensures there's a two-party system. For instance there's no need to vote Liberal Democrat if you can instead vote for a centrist to be the official Tory or Labour candidate come the general election.

FPTP is terrible. Looking at the United States, there are few succesful primary challenges on the federal level and barely any challenges at all on the state level or local level. Linking geographical location to political preferences was an 18th necessesity you can easily do without now. Let people vote their actual preference, not the least-worst candidate.

In addition to that, Iran is basically impossible to defeat in a defensive ground war if you look at the geography and size of the nation. Iran is basically Afghanistan on some massive steroids.

Surprised that none of the Eurosceptics on this forum have been yelling about the next EU commisioner probably being a German from Merkel's party.

Suprised that europeans want an icompetent german person to lead them. She got no knowledge about anything at all and most germans are just happy that she cant waste that much money on useless things as the did in the last time. Bad times for EU are coming :/

I really dont know who supports her, at least in Germany only the CDU/CSU openly supported her compared to basically everyone else openly opposing her (i think AFD and FDP did not have an definite stance on the issue)

 I am happy that she is gone as minister of defence, but I am not happy with her new job either...

I never liked her.

But I am sure our new minister is even worse than her. All of this is so stupid.

They should just make it into a position elected directly by the people.

Anywho apparently Mueller is testifying tomorrow will be interesting to hear what he has too say not that I think it will change much.
