Next up on The Ocho, a brand new series: Tehran is on motherfucking fire
 
This is a really good time to remind everyone what happened the last time Iran fucked around

- Operation Praying Mantis (1988): A US ship hit an Iranian mine and limped back to port, in retaliation the US sank 2 Iranian warships, 3 Iranian gun boats, and 2 drilling platforms that were used as military bases....all in like 12 hours by just what was on hand in the Persian Gulf. The response was meant to be "proportional" but the Navy doesn't like it when you touch their boats, so shit got out of hand until Reagan himself told the Navy to chill and stop blowing up Iranian ships

- Operation Nimble Archer(1987): An Iranian missile hit a Kuwaiti tanker, injuring one US citizen. The US then blew up 2 decommissioned oil platforms being used by the Iranian Military in the Gulf.

It has been almost 40 years though, so maybe they need to be reminded.

seems that way
 
Why do these mopes keep misunderstanding the US? Just because Biden doesn’t like Netanyahu doesn’t mean they won’t kick the snot out of Iran.

From Iran's standpoint, they need to keep the proxies motivated. From the proxy leaderships standpoint, you can't skim money if there's no money flowing. From the fighters standpoints, something something allah is on my side.
 
Sure, the the idea that they’ll exploit /create daylight between the US and Israel is a fundamental misread. If you hit the US they will hit back, 20X harder, regardless of slow play strategies.

The fundamental position that anyone is capable of changing the minds of American policy makers through violence is fucking nutty.

There are executives in a half dozen defence contractor boardrooms jerking off at the thought of the Iranians firing missiles at a US carrier group. Everyone, fucking everyone is getting their christmas bonus at Northrup if those muppets act up.
