To be fair, they did in fact learn several useful pieces of information. Like there's a catastrophic flaw in their rocket, and that their test pad is poorly laid out. Anyway, rockets are hard. People keep complaining that NASA is recycling a lot of designs, and it's because rockets are hard...

The Express is a British tabloid rag that I don't think I've ever seen be right about anything. A US branch of that rag has to be a few steps down from that.

If you want to claim victory in your fantasy land, where the Ayatollah is dead (I've seen nothing to even hint that he is), go for it. I can only show you the facts of the world, I can't make you realize them. Enjoy playing NATO dressup general, but I suggest going back to HOI.

And yet missiles and shitty drones have Israel on the backfoot, because they blow up buildings good. Everything else is masturbation

Damn, that's a lotta words. Too bad I ain't reading 'em they're divorced from the reality of the world, and now your previous posts. Who cares if Israel is in Iranian airspace? It doesn't matter. That won't topple the Iranian regime. Just like how Iran blowing Israel to rubble won't topple...

Only in NATO fantasies. As Eacaraxe points out, the modern political MAD is debt, and China has a big dead man's switch. At no point will there be a big shooting war anywhere to show off the effectiveness of this equipment. All it is is money lining the pockets of executives, they provide...

That's weird since the road in the belt and road initiative is sea lanes, and building up ports for maritime transport, and of course your whole argument is predicated on the idea that the west is just going to bomb random country's infrastructure for no good reason. Alright, that's a fair cop...

That's an interesting non-sequitur, what do pipelines have to do with anything?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_and_Road_Initiative You're sitting here saying they suck at chess while they're playing go. They don't care about near peer warfare. They have enough military to keep the US off their mainland, and threaten Taiwan (possibly even take it), that's all they need...

Sure, but why would they seriously help Russia against Ukraine? There's no reason for it. As much as you want to see military equipment smash together to play out NATO fantasies, the Iran-Israel fight is probably far more representative of modern warfare. Missile spam mixed with hundred dollar...

How is Russia their friend? Right now they probably look like a friend the way Israel is our friend, an unstable and bloodthirsty weirdo starting fights for no good reason
