Iran Super Thread- Merged

The coming economic crisis will probably end this war.

Full stop it will - it will happen before anything else occurs.

Think back to just about this time last year when rumours came out about Carney talking with some of the other G7 leaders about US debt/treasury’s and the US bond rates spiked wicked high over a 2 day period and Trump shut right up quick.
 
My bet is Trump TACOs this weekend or the next. He's not ready for the economic devastation and stock market crashes that will happen if this thing goes two more weeks. Next weekend will be a month. That's when oil inventories really start drawing down. And we'll really start economic breakdown and chaos as oil prices shoot up.

Real talk though - what are we even doing there? No one has really been able to tell me thats been on Impact. How exactly are we helping to stabilize Iraq by training these guys?

NMI Staff positions to keep a token presence for the most part.

Op AMARNA (new name for IMPACT) was shifting way from the Iraq and Syria stabilization and went whole hog into the CTAT-L and CTAT-J missions, whille maintaining TFME HQ. OSH-SWA still maintained a presence in Kuwait, but that was dwindling even up until earlier this month.

Everything is anyone's guess now that the US-Israel vs Iran conflict kicked off.

My (worthless) two cents is all that time and money would be so much better spent on training either Ukrainians or soldiers in our own backyard like Haiti. I get showing the flag matters but in my opinion the less entanglement we have in that quagmire known as the Middle East, the better.

Exuere vel Secedere I guess.

We claim to be a middle power and want to maintain influence in that region, it means we needed to have a presence (even a token on) in the region.
 
Trump may be about to bail, and leave the disaster for everyone else to clean up.
