Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

What a shit show. US steped into a massive pile and doesn't know how to get out. This is Operation Epic Turd. It makes the Iraq war look thoroughly professional.

China stocked up on oil prior to the start of the war, and allegedly has six months worth of reserves to see it through any supply interruptions.
As I expected, China can weather this storm, US can't.
I. saying you can still serve in the military but disobey certain orders, I recently shared a podcast here on this forum regarding this very issue and how Christians go about doing this
To which I ask a question: why put yourself in such an unfavorable, risky position? Don't enlist, don't have this problem. Earn your money elsewhere.
Not always, sometimes it a good idea for Christians to be there to prevent bad decisions, the last thing you want is a moral vacumm open in the military
You will prevent nothing with your mid-level rank but get yourself a dishonorable discharge, possibly a sentence or killed. This is not christian Hellenic Army fighting with Turkey. US army is led by satanists with satan's goals. The less competent men it has the less damage it can make.

What's the logic behind deploying ground troops, given that drones will take them out?

The assumption here is that complete air superiority would provide cover for ground troops, but they haven't taken the Ukraine experience into consideration. Iran would be able to lob drones and rockets from a distance into any massing invading troops. This also depends on how much help the Iranians get from Russia and China in smaller drone systems.
 
Which some Orthodox Christians willfully disobeyed during the Roman empire, I. saying you can still serve in the military but disobey certain orders,
After 1000 years of the devil's plan since the schism, 300 years of materialism and atheism since the "enlightenment", and all the overt and covert brainwashing of mass media and smart phones, I would never compare anything in the 21st century to the 2nd century, except for Jesus Christ and his church.

I'll check out that podcast. Can you link me back to your post?
 
CENTCOM just published footage showing strikes on Iranian vessels, including a Soleimani-class corvette, a Ghadir-class sub, as well as many small watercraft: missile boats, patrol boats, etc. which could be used to lay mines.
They were sitting on half of that footage, and pulled it out to counter the CNN story.
 
Senator Chris Murphy after a closed door briefing: "We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle..."
Good. The US government should be not only defeated but humiliated. This is the beginning of the fall of this evil empire.
 
This is slop and a half-truth meant to elicit a emotional reaction. Of the 150 US service members listed as wounded 108 have already returned to duty aka their injury consisted of a concussion, a cut or difficulty breathing follow Impact. Out of the 150 only 8 are listed as severely to moderately injured.

America's enemies are desperate to turn public opinion and end the war (which Iran is losing badly), hence the current slop-deluge on all fronts. For clarity: the US military has sustained 8 fatalities in the last 10 days.

 
Absolutely and by any measure they shouldn't be there by their own volition. It's a bargain with the devil. It's not like they were conscripted (and even then I think you should refuse if you suspect you'd be used to anything other than protecting borders) like st. Paisios in a national war. No, they willingly decided to serve in a military with such heinous track record. And Gettochoper is a deluded mercenary whom I've blocked exactly because.
What are your thoughts on Orthodox Christians in the Russian military?

This is not a thread for discussing and debating Orthodox theology as it relates to military service. It's a perfectly reasonable topic for the Orthodox or General Christianity forums, however, and I encourage someone to start that thread. But please, let's stay on topic here with Iran/Israel news and discussion.

Also take note, gentlemen:

I have verified this on GAB AI, these are just university degrees not actual participation in the workforce.

One of the first laws implemented in Iran under the new Islamic Republic led by Khomeini was lowering the age of marriage to 9. In his work Tahrir al Vasilah, Book of Marriage Khomeini further wrote that playfully touching and fondling girls under 9 was allowed, yet vagina interpretation forbidden. This is related to Quranic and Hadeth teachings and Muhammad's own marriages. Later, under Khamenei, the age of marriage/consent was raised to 13 - yet if the family consents a girl can again marry from 9 onwards.


Book of Marriage (Nikah), Issue 12: "Anyone whose wife is under nine years old is not permitted to have intercourse with her, whether she is a permanent wife or a temporary (mut‘a) wife. However, other forms of sexual enjoyment, such as lustful touching, embracing, and thighing, are permissible even if she is an infant."
