If the zionist entity can use America likely and what I'm talking about with Iraq/Jordan don't occur. I believe with the full weight of NATO/Israel they can reduce Iran to a place really only capable of guerilla warfare. (Enough to protect Iran but no longer project power not to mention reduce it to a state able for color revolution) What Iran is capable of is not enough to be the last one standing in case of a purely missile/air power battle. If Iran is reduced to that, the Palestinian cause is basically concluded. The zionist and the apparatus of Western imperialism are counting on this. They plan to complete the nakba and send the middle East into a century of humiliation and really it'd be a second one at that. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about with Jordan and Iraq but the resistance NEEDS this or it's finished.

The ideal Palestinian strategy is constant economic siege on Israel, not a quick-and-dirty escalation. Samson means that Israel can't be Zerg-rushed, but constant political doubt and pressure via Shaheeds, Qassams, etc, can create a constant gap in the Israeli treasury and any actually successful hits would make Israel uninvestible.

Military warfare by itself cannot achieve success in Israel, but military warfare as a means of economic warfare can.

***

Re: Iran, yeah, Iran can be reduced to guerrilla warfare by NATO. Out of Russia, China, and Iran, Iran is the weakest link with the smallest economy and the least population.

The question isn't whether or not Iran can be defeated, but how much damage the Iranians can do back to the occupation force. Given Iranian technological advances, probably a lot, which is why I actually want NATO / Israel to go attempt to occupy Iran to bog them down in an inexorable quagmire.

If Iran sacrifices itself gets a color revolution… but Israel is no more I suppose that's a win for the resistance. It's horrific to think this might mean 2-4+ million deaths though. Though what's the point of moralizing, like the material contradictions aren't already in motion beyond the control of any party. My fear here >>1825771 is Iran gets isolated isreal survives… If the color revolution… Occurs the Islamic Republic of Iran falls it's proxy's fan out and though Israel is barely breathing still has a pulse, that will likey be because of said isolation. I can see no event that happens with Iraq especially if not Jordan on Iran's side. I believe the Islamic world of West Asia hates America and Israel more then Iran and I think the geopolitics will show this but I can't say exactly how. It's up to the national bourgeoisie though to see were the winds go and just how much power Western hegemony has.

It's rather obvious that you know fuck all about Iraq and recent events there.
Look up the October demonstrations. In 2019 Iraq witnessed a resurgence in nationalist, anti-sectarian sentiment. A sentiment that the US imperialists and the Iranian clerical regime tried to bury to the best of their abilities, for long they tried equating any resemblance of Iraqi nationalism or socialism to Ba'athisim. So Iraq would forever be divided trembled over by foreign powers. For the Zionist occupation, the Iranian theocracy and Gulf rental states know what a strong, sovereign Iraq is capable of.

Endless wars exacerbated these divsions until very recently when the material contradictions have reached their zenith. Endless death, crippling poverty, brutal austerity, astonishing inequality, exploitation, repression, rapidly rising unemployment, illness, drugs, total social, economic and environmental degradation. This is what Iraq has been like for over 20 years under neoliberalism after its disastrous shock therapy, an unjust system violently imposed by imperialists and their reactionary lackeys. Its effects can be felt everyday from Zako to Basra.
To quote Noami Klein
>A people, starved and sickened by sanctions, then pulverized by war, is going to emerge from this trauma to find that their country has been sold out from under them. They will also discover that their newfound β€œfreedom” – for which so many of their loved ones perished – comes pre-shackled with irreversible economic decisions that were made in boardrooms while the bombs were still falling. They will then be told to vote for their new leaders, and welcomed to the wonderful world of democracy.

When in 2019 Iraqis tried to use every mean avaliable to them within the system to seek change. They were met with bullets by IRGC militias and indifference by the west, who are the primary beneficiaries of the status quo. While a thousand Iraqis, mostly students, were massacred, the world was busy mourning over Hong Kong where virtually no protester lost their life. But it made for cool photo OPs with red, white and blue flags, something the Iraqi protests lacked.

While the protests were suppressed violently and protests virtually ceased with the help of covid. It taught Iraqis that the only way towards change is revolutionary change through violence. The same violence that the comprador bourgeoisie have used against them for decades. As if Iraqis wanted a reminder of their failed system, when they have one of the lowest voter turn out rates in the world. Next time tears will be met with blood. If you want a preview look up the 1920 and 1958 Iraqi revolutions.

The status quo is unsustainable. You can feel the panic the ruling class felt in 2019 when it resorted to massacring people. No doubt change is coming. The only question is, will it be progressive or reactionary? As it stands, I can predict the outcome by imaging what the Iraqi worker feels when he turns his head to the international left to see mostly those cheering for his misery, to them he is devoid of struggle and only exists as a pawn in their geopolitical game, and occasionally as a perpetual victim whose suffering is to be exploited for their own agenda.

It's revolution; millions of people will die, but hopefully for a decent cause.

Iran itself seems antsy and doesn't want a fight, given the "scale" of its attack. However, if the Israelis choose to escalate the Iranians no longer have a choice.

***

Good ol' Iranians having children march through minefields, each of them holding a plastic "key to heaven" made in Taiwan.

***

Israeli's GDP shrunk by an annualized 20% in Q4, or about 5% Q/Q. We need to see how well the Israeli economy holds up; simply zero-ing them means that increasing military spending costs will begin to weight on their integrity.

But as with Russia, states with decent finances (Israel is 60% debt to GDP) can last quite some time; if the strain is comparable to Russia, they can likely hold out for a decade or more of constant economic pressure.

Which is why Iran would probably like to remain paranuclear; i.e, once they have nukes, they're staring at a nuclear exchange with Israel every time Hezbollah launches rockets.

If the shit actually hits the fan, or it looks like both sides are going to full-scale war, Iran will go nuclear to end the conflict. So, while the Iranians would like to maintain the possibility of going nuclear, they'd rather continue to hold the Palestinian resistance on a leash, and not become a "mature" "responsible" nuclear power until avoidance is an impossibility.

Thanks for educating me on current Iraqi conditions. Admittedly I've found it hard to search what's happening on the ground and what's the sentiment. Even more embarrassingly I being discouraged by this struggle haven't tried as hard as I should. I loosely know of Iraq's struggle with Iran back to their war in the 80's and I've loosely understood that Iran wants them as a client state. Which lead to me gooning about geopolitics shows I can at least see Iran's interest in Iraq despite my ignorance. If this goes regional I still want to believe that the beef with Iran isn't as potent as the hatred for the Yankee zionist. What I'm hoping for maybe to restate it ideally, would be like the Sahel alliance in Africa but for the region in-between the nations between Israel and Iran. This would allow for a joint effort with Iran against Israel without permanent submission to Iran which I don't want in fact once Iran serves it's purpose with Israel it's government can go for all I care.

>>1825881
Also, notably for Iran in this situation, holding nukes makes them a higher priority target. They haven't needed nukes so far to prevent regime change, so obtaining nukes would not necessarily be in their interest in that capacity either. The possibility of Iran getting nukes has already demonstrably functioned as a pretty effective geopol chesspiece for them.

"Dirty bomb" means using regular explosives to scatter and deliberately contaminate an area with radioactive material.

Nuclear bomb means using nuclear fission or fusion to release energy and create an explosive, which results in less radioactivity over its lifetime.

 No.1825910

>>1825897
Nukes are already half bomb.
Quick rundown is that you need a subcritical mass of fissile material that you hit with more fissile material so it turns critical, you need to do blabla so you do a chain reaction that is self-sustaining, blabla standing for big enough mass or using mirrors to keep reflect the neutrons back into the mass.

Ok thanks anons had some idiotic notion it'd
be worth something even in that state, now see that it's pointless and does nothing over high grade conventional bombs. I suppose that if the dirty bomb can't cause a fission reaction it certainly can't do enough for a fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb because the fission reaction has to occur for the subsequent fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb. It's not that I was wrong in thinking it's fuck shit up but I now realize it's bring much more anger international then a nuke.

sort of. modern nukes are way higher yield than the minimum fissile material for a nuclear explosion, tactical warheads with hypersonic delivery would still fuck shit the fuck up, no need to make the ICBM version if you can just hold a sword over the most moral nation on earth.

>>1825900
>>1825909
no they're not. the nuclear fallout of a dirty bomb is relatively contained and not the civilization ending consequences of a nuclear strike. I'd recommend "War Games" by the inimitable Peter Watkin. the dirty bomb is bush era propaganda, but it's more anxiety inducing than effective. it's one contaminated block/building vs part of a city being vaporized, and those that survive being blinded and given lethal doses of radiation from the flash and the fallout.

in a nuclear strike the living would envy the dead. a vast number of the survivors would die quickly from their skin falling off, others would take weeks to die painfully as their body dies and rots from the inside out. Any humanitarian effort to help the victims is frustrated by the fallout, and much of it would be futile palliative care. The suffering is passed on in generations of survivors through genetic damage.

if israel drops the bomb it's fucking over for them. there is no fucking way the world could forgive them for committing a nuclear holocaust immediately after a conventional one. it's a crime against life itself.

finally while we're talking nukes: we should never have forgiven the US for testing fallout on the marshall islanders.

So your saying a dirty bomb can be used in a targeted way in some applications. For example one could use one of a smaller scale and say hit an settler area while saving a Palestinian area, say even 5-10 certainly 20+ miles away. I must state this isn't a desire I seek to know their capacity

>So your saying a dirty bomb can be used in a targeted way…
nah I'm saying a dirty bomb is fucking useless. however instead of pulling a north korea and making "strategic" nukes that go to space and reach washington, states can make smaller "tactical" nukes that fit the payload of missiles they already have. "tactical" nukes would be plenty for iran because they only have to be able to reach tel-aviv to radically shift the balance of power from colonial genocide to islamic gommunism.
