Iranian state media confirms death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - Lemmy

Fascist USA and Israel are the biggest threats to world peace. They are the axis of evil.

First two months of 2026: The US kidnaps one country’s leader, murders another, and kills hundreds of civilians in two failed regime change attempts.

Death to the burger empire.

The scary part is how they succeed in their objectives. I’m still not over Maduro’s kidnapping and how they pulled it off. It’s freakish.
Although, it’s worth noting that this was largely a stunt. The US did not have the ability to actually invade Venezuela or to topple the government.
It was indeed a stunt, keep in mind that the US spend trillions to maintain an army capable of invading other countries, it’s just not convenient for them to do so.
It’s more than just inconvenience. The US does not have a good track record fighting prolonged conflicts. They can destroy a country and make millions of people suffer, but they rarely achieve long term objectives.
I would argue that their long term objectives are usually achieved, USA pretty much control the whole world.

the US absolutely doesn’t control the world, the war in Ukraine and recent attempt at a trade war with China is a great example of just how weak the empire really is. The US failed to subdue Russia and their attempt to cut Russia out of the global economy resulted in a separate economic system forming with increasing amount of trade happening outside western control. Now, global majority is allied with China against the empire, and hence why we see the US desperately lashing out.

The US has hit an inflection point where the cost of maintaining the empire outstrips the plunder. All the forever wars have drained critical resources, while financial capitalism moved essential production overseas. Now the US finds that it has little economic leverage, and its material base is eroded.

the US absolutely doesn’t control the world

We are in a thread about US government killing the leader of a country on the other side of the world without any disturbance. No other country can do something like.

You genuinely think that Russia or China does not have the capability to do that? The difference here isn’t that the US is more capable, it’s that it’s a rabid dog.
russia and china don’t have the capability to launch a full scale attack on a country on the other side of the world. US government is able to attack iran because they have control all over the region and in between
Russia and China are nuclear superpowers, they can turn any country into glass. Meanwhile, the US isn’t even able to produce weapons on its own with importing critical things like rare earths from China which the US isn’t capable of producing in any significant quantity. If you think that deindustrialized shithole that’s currently being outproduced by Russia militarily is a global hegemon, then I don’t know what else to tell you.
North korea have nukes too, that doesn’t mean they have the capability to successfully attack any county in the world and kill the leader without any repercussions. It seem like you believe russia and china are better than US empire but that doesn’t automatically make them more powerful, combined the two countries doesn’t spend in war as half of what US does.

Again, if you think the US attacking countries and killing their leaders is a show of strength then you’re deluded. What makes China and Russia more powerful is that they have actual domestic industry, and can produce their own weapons. The US cannot do that. Meanwhile, spending a bunch of money on war just shows how inefficient the US military industrial complex is. Here’s what the reality looks like euronews.com/…/is-russia-producing-a-years-worth-…

The US is just a clown country run by senile pedophiles.

Is Russia producing a year's worth of NATO ammunition in three months?

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has repeatedly said that Moscow’s annual ammunition production capacity is four times greater than that of the western alliance. #EuroVerify

What makes China and Russia more powerful

You sound brainwashed on either russian or chinese state propaganda

The US is just a clown country run by senile pedophiles.

So are most countries

that’s an amazing counterpoint there to the fact that Russia alone is outproducing all of NATO 🤣

How many artillery shell were used to kill Ali Khamenei? You sound like a propagandist arguing that north korea army is the strongest in the world because they outproduce everyone in bayonets.

2026 Iran conflict - Wikipedia

The Burger Reich isn’t much better at producing missiles than it is at producing artillery shells. Perhaps you don’t understand that artillery shells are much easier to produce than missiles, and if you can’t even produce the former you have no hope of producing the latter in any quantity?

You sound like an utter ignoramus.

Iran strikes threaten to deplete US weapons supplies — and put American troops at risk

The administration already burned through significant stockpiles of air defense missiles in operations against Iran and its proxy groups.

Politico
If you argue that the burger reich doesn’t have the capability to invade a country you are ignoring what is happening just right now and you are downplaying the threat. US government isn’t running out of munitions, a prolonged Iran war could lower their stockpiles to a level that could make the country more vulnerable (war industry propaganda to boost military spendings)
The US is absolutely running out of munitions. The reality is that the US lacks the industrial base to keep up with the rate of use. Industry accounts for mere 9.5% of the economy. Steel production in the US is barely higher than Russia, and the US is unable to produce stuff like rare earths on its own. People seem to buy into the mythology the US has created around itself, but numbers don’t lie.
Trump: We have 'unlimited' weapons to fight 'forever' war

Um, no you don't. Dan 'razin' Caine told you so just before you launched this war on Iran

Responsible Statecraft

"According to a deep dive by defense writer Mike Fredenberg, along with all the other diminished capacity, the standard missile (SM-3) variant was down 33% "

Their definition of being low on munitions is that they don’t have enough to win ww3.

Again, given the rate of use of these missiles, it’s quite clear they can’t keep this up for long. Each intercept takes at least two missiles, and production rate is nowhere close to the use rate. Thousands of missiles might sound like a lot, but that’s really a few months supply.
The day they stop dropping bombs is the day they are actually running out of these
Let’s see what happens in a month.
