I’m assuming from his posts that etarip is a graduate from the ADFA. Is educated in warfare and has experience that gives his words meaning.

Your take on history and international relations pretty poor mate.
If USA go into Iran I think you will find they kick a hornets nest they won't be able to control outcome.
Reckon Israel would be one of the worst hit places in retaliation so careful what you wish for...
Iran isn't like Syria or Iraq.No im am not talking over 70 years ago, im talking about 45 years ago before the Islamic republic of Iran when women didnt have to cover their hair before morality police and actually wore mini skirts and swimsuits at the beach.
One day Iran is going to hit Israel and get through their defence systems, it's a hell of a lot better taking that risk now when Iran is weak and doesnt have nuclear weapons, than in the future when Iran has regained strength and armed with nuclear weapons and there is some muppet in power like Biden.
Nobody really knows for sure if USA will strike Iran, Iran might come to the table on a deal (which personal i cant understand how they could ever be trusted)
But USA is moving everything in place, and it's not just some stealth bombers or posturing, the amount of cargo planes full of ammunition and military equipment is crazy.

Jesus wept. Swimsuits and mini skirts in Iran in the late 70s and early 80s. Someone needs a refresher course in history and mathematics. Indo do yourself a favour and read All The Sha's Men. That will sort your history problems out.

I dont have a deep knowledge of Iran history as i do Israeli history, but i do know that the problem's are all based on the ideology of Islam and the Islamic republic of Iran, even many Iranians themselves say this and yes Iran was a progressive place before radical islamist took over, in 1979 (46 years ago) not in 1953 (72 years ago)

"Background and causes of the Iranian revolution"
"It's causes continue to be the subject of historical debate and are believed to have stemmed partly from a conservative backlash opposing the westernization and secularization efforts of the Western-backed Shah,[1] as well as from a more popular reaction to social injustice and other shortcomings of the ancien régime."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_and_causes_of_the_Iranian_revol....
Anyhow it's all irrelevant, the hard reality is for over 45 years Iran has had an oppressive Islamic theocracy that is the cancer of middle east, one who's goal is to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.
And this has and will backfire on them, their proxies are all falling, it could be attacked by USA & Israel, their economy is at rock bottom, and much of its people want to see its government fall.
BTW. This idea that you can read one book (one persons take) on anything is silly, to understand any topic like this you would need to read various books and gather a host of different view points.
Can’t be long before a drone takes him out . 
A gentle reminder about the cause of today's situation:
US trade deficit:
US government debt relative to GDP:
Both are predominately caused by the abandonment of financial and monetary prudence and responsibility post GFC by the US Federal Reserve (central bank):
M0 money supply
M1 money supply
It's very simple. The US needs to return these and other indicators back to pre-GFC levels.
Ray Dalio's take:
Ray Dalio wrote:The monetary/economic order is breaking down because there is too much existing debt, the rates of adding to it are too fast, and existing capital markets and economies are supported by this unsustainably large debt. The debt is unsustainable because the of the large imbalance between a) debtor-borrowers who owe too much debt and are taking on a too much debt because they are hooked on debt to finance their excesses (e.g., the United States) and b) lender-creditors (like China) who already hold too much of the debt and are hooked on selling their goods to the borrower-debtors (like the United States) to sustain their economies. There are big pressures for these imbalances to be corrected one way or another and doing so will change the monetary order in major ways. For example, it is obviously incongruous to have both large trade imbalances and large capital imbalances in a deglobalizing world in which the major players can't trust that the other major players won't cut them off from the items they need (which is an American worry) or pay them the money they are owed (which is a Chinese worry). This is a result of these parties being in a type of war in which self-sufficiency is of paramount importance. Anyone who has studied history knows that such risks under such circumstances have repeatedly led to the same sorts of problems we're seeing now. So, the old monetary/economic order in which countries like China manufacture inexpensively, sell to Americans, and acquire American debt assets, and Americans borrow money from countries like China to make those purchases and build up huge debt liabilities will have to change. These obviously unsustainable circumstances are made even more so by the fact that they have led to American manufacturing deteriorating, which both hollows out middle class jobs in the U.S. and requires America to import needed items from a country that it is increasingly seeing as an enemy. In an era of deglobalization, these big trade and capital imbalances, which reflect trade and capital interconnectedness, will have to shrink one way or another. Also, it should be obvious that the U.S. government debt level and the rate at which the government debt is being added to is unsustainable. (You can find my analysis of this in my new book How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle.) Clearly, the monetary order will have to change in big disruptive ways to reduce all these imbalances and excesses, and we are in the early part of the process of it changing. There are huge capital market implications to this that have huge economic implications, which I will delve into at another time.

Good for a laugh at the end of the day ya numbskull.
You seem to still be friend's with your ex GF in Tel aviv, yet you seem totally ignorant to the fact that without the Iron dome and other protective system's she would quite literally be at risk of thousands of rockets, by not just Iran but Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and other groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad all funded by Iran.
Instead you seemingly seem to side with those that are trying to kill her and other Israeli's and dont take the threat of Iran and its proxies seriously.
The reality is Iran will one day try to destroy Israel (directly and not just through proxies) and if not prevented it could one day be with a nuclear warhead, and even if the USA & Israel try to prevent this from happening and hit Iran in the near future, there is still a real chance that some Iran rockets Iran will fire in response will get through the defensive system.
If this happens other than military base's Tel Avi will be the target site, Im not saying this to troll or trigger you, it is a very realistic scenario that you could wake up one day even in the next year and read in the news that Tele avi has been hit and hundreds or even thousands are dead, and your gut is going to sink hoping that your X is not one of those people.
My advice, if you have had a falling out with her over a clash of views on this, get good with her and make peace now, just incase.
And yes i hope like hell that she stays safe and this never happens.

@SR
Im not an expert but yes I listen to experts around this topic both from a military and political aspect and I try to take in as many different view points as possible, and yes not just short articles or short TV news stories, but yes long up to date in detail podcast or videos.
In regard to books, you wont be finding any info on the current news and situation in books, any books written on the subject will be one persons take on what happened after the events, or any book looking into the future trying to be predictive will likely become outdated before they even go to print as further news and info become's available.

Classic eh Soggy. Funny thing is, last time i actually mentioned my ex over there was around about the time of Oct 7 2023. Low info though has mentioned her several times since. And seems to be up to date with how much contact i have with her. Fucken wizard!!

When you did say you had an ex and worried she was at the Nova festival, to be honest i was hoping that you were going to share her ongoing experiences and her view points as at that time i didn't have any personal connections myself to any Israeli's and it's always great to get insights from people directly, so honestly it was disappointing that never happened. (only a tad at the start)
BTW. Im sure she was a stunner as there barely seems to be an unattractive women in Israel, so many have that middle east with other mix, and it doesn't hurt they can dress without restrictions.
Anyway better go do some work, have a good day SR.

So without doing the maths (cos my maths sucks) that's about a 2 or 3 percent increase in the overall cost of living with all those factors in play including the decreases. That's gotta sting the average American citizen.
