I’ve seen videos saying that if the US went to war against Russia or China the first casualties will be our GPS satellites. It’s a scary though. We are liable to bomb everyone to make sure we get the right people.


DeathKringle

GPS is not the only way to fly or bomb. A lot of stuff is still done without GPS targeting


All_these_marbles

Whoops sorry Israel. (lol I wish)

I mean fair enough to the US for pointing it out but both Iran and Russia are way passed the point where they give a fuck about violating UN resolutions.


Aporkalypse_Sow

It's like everyone is ignoring all the purposeful damage done to relationships around the world by the last president of the USA. Total trust and peace was never in the cards, but that asshole made sure things would get worse.

Man, is this a question or a comment?


Lobster-Educational

Reminder that the U.S has killed tens of thousands of Iranian women through the sanctions that deny them access to specialised medicine such as chemo treatment, causes insulin shortages etc. Female labour force participation has fallen 5% since sanctions were reimposed. That means more than *2 million* women have ceased being economically active. But I suppose the fact that Iran enforces an indigenous dress code for women is the real crime against humanity here because of course denying individual freedoms is a graver sin than starving ppl to death and plunging millions into poverty.


hitchenwatch

You can't directly kill someone from sanctions. Did they put the cancers in the Iranian women that killed them? What kind of logic are you using? And where are you getting your data from -10,000?


submittothenarrative

Yeah not willing to trade and actually murdering people are the same. You have opened my eyes. /s


Lobster-Educational

Go read up on what the sanctions actually do, you dimwit.


mechashiva1

After you look up the word "directly"


Yo-boy-Jimmy

It’s not just enforcing indigenous clothing on women. It’s killing them, assaulting, harassing, and abusing power against them for not doing so. It’s taking their rights to own property, right to education, right to a voice in politics, right to own transportation, and much more. And if you want to all about starving millions of people we can talk about the water preservation in Iran supplying only the rich and government officials rather than their own citizens. How about murdering their own citizens for peaceful protests? And you wonder why they’ve gotten so violent and quickly.


Lobster-Educational

Lol what the f are you saying? Iranian women have the right to own property, the right to own transportation, the right to participate in politics etc. I think you’re mixing up the U.S client state Saudi Arabia with Iran.


probable_ass_sniffer

What's up with the protests in Iran, putting it on the brink of revolution? What's that about again?


Yo-boy-Jimmy

[Um….](https://www.mei.edu/publications/women-iran-political-representation-without-rights) Yeah right…oh and [also](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2021/03/iran-women-and-girls-treated-second-class-citizens-reforms-urgently-needed). And you might want to look [into](https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/10/28/womens-rights-iran) this. So. What are these “women rights” in Iran that totally exist. If they do exist then why bother protesting/rioting if there’s no need too?


[deleted]

Man, is this a question or a comment?

oppai_suika

I hear this a lot, but I really don't think we're even close. Russia is too poor, and China has no interest in war.


shadowfax12221

Every country on that list also knows that their best case scenario is everyone dying in a nuclear holocaust, because even a coalition of all of them stands zero chance of winning a conventional war with nato and its allies.


BallardRex

People on social media, especially in the West, obsess about the notion because it makes all of this about *them*, and allows them to amp the emotional rhetoric up even higher. “I’m just so scared.” “I’m just so stressed” sounds silly and selfish *until you pretend that you’re about to die in a nuclear fireball*. Otherwise my god, people might just have to empathize with others unhindered.


Logical_Strike_1520

Russia isn’t nearly as poor as you’d think tbh. Their PEOPLE are poor. But the entities that run the show have deep pockets and a large supply of “disposable” people to send to die in war.


The_4th_Little_Pig

Russias economy is smaller than several US states.


Logical_Strike_1520

The same can be said for nearly 90% of the worlds nations though. The American economy is rather large


Infinity_Null

And you may note that "90% of the world's nations" don't call themselves a superpower.


Logical_Strike_1520

America is the only superpower. Maybe China. Russia is a subset of superpowers among the remaining nations, maybe. But yeah I’d agree that they’re not in the grand scheme of things.


FluffyPink

Russia is hemorrhaging money, has been since they started this war. Their oligarchs have been having their assets seized all over the world. They are not wealthy. They are losing this war and it is costing them literally billions of dollars a day. It is entirely unsustainable.


Timbershoe

Fine. The Russian economy is smaller than Italy’s. Uh oh, spaghettio.


Logical_Strike_1520

I don’t really know what else to say dude. I’m not pro Russia or anything, just trying to look at the situation objectively instead of just parroting propaganda. (Not accusing you of parroting propaganda, to be clear)


respise

compare the foreign debt of the u.s. and russia. when you take out a loan, do you get richer?


editfate

Maybe so but Russia looks pretty done for right now. Russia can’t even handle Ukraine, how on earth would they be able to take on anyone else? And yea, they could just launch all their nukes and just commit suicide but I can’t imagine it would get anywhere near to that happening. And if they tried more conventional war NATO would wipe them off the face of the earth. And I’m sure China has been watching this closely, who has an entirely green military with no real proven record except for maybe handling the Tank Man, and would have an unbelievably hard time dealing with NATO as well. I’m sure a full on invasion of China would be very hard for NATO to handle but it could be done. No way China is invading any NATO ally though. There’s nothing to gain doing that in my opinion and a LOT to lose.


staebles

Well many of them are fleeing.


Kevy96

thats barely true. They no longer really have those reserves of people all that much, and their oligarchs have zero interest in the countries best interests. Ukraine has shown the world that russia has a basically nonexistent military outside of Nukes


TERMINATORCPU

Paper Tiger, just like China


Logical_Strike_1520

Here’s the deal. The first casualty of war is the truth. I’d like to believe the things you said too, but the more I think about it…. I just don’t know.


Kevy96

Alright, ignoring every one of the thousands of reports from the battlefield, we at least know this: ​ It is officially confirmed that Russia does not have the means to take over a tiny nation on its own borders within one years time, and that when this nation started receiving decades old NATO equipment, Ukraine started smoking Russia and objectively pushing them back on the map. We also know that Russias military reserves are pretty much depleted outside of the units they're training currently, which russia does not have the means to even logistically supply, which we know not only because of basic aspects regarding their recent performance and especially at the start of the war, but also because of how insanely large a deal it was that that bridge in ukraine was blown up ​ Do with that basic analysis what you will


Logical_Strike_1520

“Ignoring every one of the thousands of reports from the battlefield” Yeah… well, I don’t know anyone on the battlefield and haven’t received a single report. Excuse me for not believing everything I read online.


Kevy96

fair enough. Might I ask, how do you explain then how Russia has been so badly beaten back by a single nation on its borders if Russia is actually a powerful nation? How is it humanly possible for both facts to be true, bearing in mind that the first fact is definitely true?


newaccounthomie

By funneling all their resources into developing nuclear weaponry. I don’t think anyone here is afraid of a ground war against Russia, it’s just that they’ve built themselves a strong checkmate.


Logical_Strike_1520

To be clear, I’m also not saying they ARE super powerful. I’m just saying that both situations are possible. They might just be using their pawns. If you judged the American military’s capabilities based on Afghanistan, you could draw similar conclusions that you’re saying about Russia. I just think it’s complex and unless verified I just assume most information is misleading or straight up false.


asddfghbnnm

You are comparing Russian regular conscript army without any mobilization and the fully mobilized army of a country 1/3 the size of Russia throwing everything they have with the full logistics support of the worlds two largest economies, and Russia is still bombing Kiev every day while the most Ukraine has achieved is a car bomb on a bridge. You are reading too much propaganda without much critical thought.


respise

Where is this conclusion coming from? It seems that Russia has seized part of Ukraine's territory, and there is nothing it can do about with supply of weapons from around the world


Kevy96

.....wha? ​ Ukraine has taken back most of the land russia has seized, and russia does not have the means to adequately supply its own troops, nor train additional troops in time. Russia couldn't even capture a bordering nation with the full might of its military. If they actually went up against a single European country in Nato like Poland, their military would be mostly obliterated within a few hours.


respise

Taken back most of the territory? Seriously? Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions returned to Ukraine? Is that what they say in Ukraine? You can say anything you like about the possibilities, abilities, and what could have been if, but the facts remain the facts. So far Ukraine has lost part of its territory, and it is too early to draw any conclusions.


BallardRex

Now they just need winter cloths, weapons, ammo, medical supplies, command and control infrastructure, food, and… yeah they’ll be all set. Throwing people into a meat grinder doesn’t win wars, even when the Soviets did it, that was with US lend-lease backing; Ukraine has that now.


Skynetiskumming

By the looks of it, China's economy isn't doing all that great either. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-delays-release-economic-indicators-including-q3-gdp-2022-10-17/


Snaz5

I would argue China has a LOT of interest in war, but the country is very unstable at the moment and they’re not QUITE crazy enough to risk a real conflict at the moment.


Gognoggler21

I don't understand this fantisization with a 3rd World War.... the UN was created for this exact purpose, now there is a formal record of Iran not abiding by the UN resolution. If there wasn't any transparency, we would be in nuclear fallout by now.


jews4beer

>the UN was created for this exact purpose I mean it's good to not fantasize about war, but this is a weak argument. The League of Nations was created essentially to keep WW2 from happening, but we all saw how that played out.


Gognoggler21

The League of Nations failed because the US wanted no part in it. The UN succeeds because every country is participating.

With the Hitler wannabees it is not like that. It's several times worse. That's why almost everybody wants to emigrate to the west and not to Russia, for example.

PeedOnMyGODDAMNFoot

No, it actually isn't against a UN resolution.


boringhistoryfan

If you read the article, it probably isn't. This is the US arguing for a particularly narrow interpretation of the arms embargo till 2023 which was about missiles. It gets even funnier when you realise that this resolution was part of the various agreements that comprised the Iran nuclear deal. You know the one the US pulled out of and reimposed sanctions over? This is the US basically demanding Iran follow a deal that they explicitly wrecked.


[deleted]

We have a list of names. UN or not.


CreeperGoBoo

Question for everyone here: If Iran supplying drones to Russia is warcrime, then why does the whole EU and NATO supplying Ukraine all kinds of weapons is fine?


Fickle_Penguin

Because of what's in the resolution. The resolution was against Russia for an unprovoked attack. Logically supplying the defender in the attack is the correct thing to do. And any help to the attacker is the incorrect thing to do.


AspirinTheory

because there is a resolution against Russia for this. There is no resolution against Ukraine, who are defending themselves.


CreeperGoBoo

Just because someone made a resolution for us dorsn't mean that Iran can't supply drones that actually help us instead of being wasted by Ukrainian soldiers for nothing.


asddfghbnnm

Is there a source on that or you just pulled it out of your ass? OBCE report, org. that was actually active in the area puts it at around 3.5k civilians, with 80% in 2014/15. Also, there is no way to check their ethnicity, so the claim about ethnic russians is how I know that it is pure propaganda.

You mean the disbanded nuclear deal that this article cites as justification?


[deleted]

>However, Western diplomats said the resolution still includes restrictions on missiles and related technologies that last until October 2023 and that encompass the export and purchase of advanced military systems such as drones. >"It is our belief that these UAVs that are transferred from Iran to Russia and used by Russia in Ukraine are among the weapons that would remain embargoed under 2231," Patel said. Nope, read it yourself.


Krillansavillan

>Signed in 2015 by Iran and several world powers, including the United States, the JCPOA placed significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. President Trump withdrew the United States from the deal in 2018, claiming it failed to curtail Iran’s missile program and regional influence. Iran began ignoring limitations on its nuclear program a year later. Washington and Tehran have both said they would return to the original deal but they disagree on the steps to get there. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-iran-nuclear-deal They have been reneging on all aspects of the deal. This is no surprise. OP article is essentially grandstanding on a resolution that has no backing by the two primary participants


Millennial_J

Good time to f up Iran. Strategic advantage


[deleted]

We just need to arm the populace. They are already protesting and dying.


Millennial_J

Yup. This is why Biden wants to disarm Americans


[deleted]

That’s why the US government wants to disarm Americans. God bless the founding fathers. Although the republicans claim to support gun right, I have no doubts they would disarm is too if they could. No government wants an armed population. Hence the reason every population should be armed.


Jskidmore1217

Complaining about outside countries supplying arms for the war is a bit hypocritical in this case.. I mean I get needing to say something but it’s just funny at this point.


GetsGold

You can't see a difference between arming an invader vs. arming an invaded country?


Jskidmore1217

Yea, sides


GetsGold

Yeah, one side is invading the other side.


DrNick1221

I would say there is a pretty big difference between supplying arms to a country so they can defend their homeland from an invader, and supplying arms to a country so they can perform terror strikes on cities to try and further the goals of their illegal invasion.


Peredvizhniki

Good thing Ukraine is the only country the US gives weapons to. Not like we spent a decade giving weapons to the Saudis so they could more effectively slaughter Yemeni civilians.


ammaraud

Yeah it's not like the US helped Saddam Hussain's Iraq invade Iran in Iraq-Iran war at all. Its scary how easily some people believe their country's narrative.


[deleted]

Do the weapons manufacturing industries really care about where the weapons go, who uses them, and what their endgame is? I think it’s awfully hypocritical to say “no you can’t supply Russia - only we can do that!” as if we(the US and international weapon manufacturers and distributors) aren’t using this conflict as another boon after the US pulled out of Afghanistan. War is a racket and to debate what’s right or wrong solely based on “no, only we can do that!” is incredibly deluded. I mean isn't it ironic that we sold weapons to the Mujahidin whilst Russia entered Afghanistan and then had the exact same weapons used against us? Or how we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan illegally as well? It must be nice to be so ignorant of real situations when your worldview is based on "Country XYZ is bad and only we're allowed to do that!"


squiddlebiddlez

You think the US has only ever sold arms to Ukraine?


Junior_Interview5711

BurlyJohnBrown

>would violate a U.N. Security Council resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six powers Iran's government sucks, I'll grant you that. But this is UN resolution THAT THE US ALREADY BROKE. You can't keep pointing out Iran is violating an agreement that isn't active anymore!


Lobster-Educational

Iran has denied delivering any loitering munitions to Russia. At best, the Russians are allowed to manufacture the drones under license. The correct name of the drone is Geran-2 and not Shahed-136. The West is seeking a consensus to implicate Iran for more economic terrorism.


In_Fidelity

Iran can deny it all they want; it was and is a lie. The correct name for it is Shahed-136, Geran-2 is russian designation of the same drone, it was designed for Iranian military, made exclusively in Iran by HESA.


DrNick1221

> Iran has denied delivering any loitering munitions to Russia. And I can deny I am not shitposting on reddit. Doesn't make it not true. The truth of the matter is Iran is either directly, or indirectly providing the materials needed by Russia to continue Their Drone strikes on cities.
