WW3 ?

Even_Serve7918

Yea whenever I point out that people always use the greatest 80-year boom the modern world has ever seen as their annual percentage rate to the predict the future, and that it’s extremely likely it will NOT be like that going forward, people freak out at me. Like people have their stupid little retirement calculators that plug in the annualized rate over the last 60-80 years as the definite growth for the next 30 years, like it’s set in stone. No, it’s absolutely not. We are absolutely returning to mean, because we aren’t a highly-unified, middle-class-friendly economy competing against a bunch of bombed-out husks post-WW2. Many economists will openly state the economy and the market haven’t actually grown since 2008. It’s all inflation and bubble.

Thank you for WW3 and distracting us from Epstein. We are eternally grateful for your world leadership.

Gom_KBull

I hope in the history books they write down that he decided to kick off WW3 by attacking Iran because "he had a dream one night telling him that Iran will attack first, so he should attack Iran first instead."^(1) and then he woke up on February 28 1. *This was more or less his reasoning when asked about it.*

WW3 is here. That is Chinas oil supply.

Defeating the opponent and making the political change that you started the war for? Which hasn't happened since WW2.

If they invaded Brazil that would unironically be WW3 Brazil is not a game you can play with force More of a CIA game

Fun fact. The highest draft age in WW2 was 35.

Rich-Badger-7601

I think the real takeaway here for both Iran as well as any other nation still waiting to be invaded by the USA is that the ONLY viable path to sovereignty is having your own nukes, full stop Iran is simply too big a country with too many people for anything the USA does to meaningfully change anything, I mean this is what the third? Fourth? Time in a row the USA has forcibly deposed the ruler of Iran since WW2? You really think *this time* that's going to instil a deep seated love of western values in the Iranian people?

OkResponsibility2470

I didn’t miss the point. Your analogy just sucks. The Allies didn’t win WW2 with airstrikes and good headlines they won by invading Europe and taking Berlin.

OkResponsibility2470

Comparing airstrikes to winning WW2 is braindead. The Allies didn’t win by farming headlines; they won by crushing Germany with total war and boots on the ground

And so the WW3 begins ....

Criticall16

The purpose of a nuke is not to fire it but to keep it for deterrence. Contrary to what media might have you believe, the regime in Iran isn’t stupid enough to start a WW3. If they ever end up making a nuke, they will first do tests to show the world. Then sign some kind of agreement to assure deterrence making sure that Israel and US don’t attack them like this

> post-WW2 peacetime, rules-based trading and economic order that has largely placed the U.S at the centre of the western world’s economic order. US military power is foundational to the US having the world reserve currency. If the US had no navy, some other country would simply build their own navy and enforce their own rules on the world. US dollars are essentially just IOUs the government issues. But if the government cannot enforce its promises, then the currency is worth less.

Me-Regarded

I'm betting the risk is to the upside myself. The whole world needs this oil, multiple countries are talking with Iran. Something will happen... And I feel we'd glass Iran if they keep this up for too long. I'm probably wrong, see username. But this is how I'm positioning into the weekend. I mean, if WW3 hits it doesn't matter anyway, it's all over

perceptive_AI

WW3 is when China brings out their secret extraterrestrial alien tech.

Careful_Response4694

The military has very strong research because it has more money. But its grant apparatus is almost identical to research grants, partly because they were both developed during WW2/post-WW2.

I know it sucks. My aunts first serious boyfriend died 2 weeks after landing in Vietnam. Shot in the head. My grandpa rarely spoke after WW2. My dad still has PTSD from hearing gun shots in the distance in Korea. It's all fucked. And for what?

VerdantPathfinder

They have no more intention of fighting the US in a conventional WW2-style fight than Iraq did. We went into Iraq with 10x the number of troops we needed and their forces just took their weapons and melted into the population. Iran knows they can't win a fight like that. They've been preparing for this for 45 years and they aren't stupid. This is asynchronous warfare and it'll end when they say it ends. Their military is not needed for that other than as special forces, guerrilla fighting, logistics, etc. I can't believe how widely this stupid idea permeates the right. You don't get it. The only way the US gets to unilaterally end this is by killing every Iranian. ALL OF THEM. Because as much as they hated us before, we turned potential allies into moderates and moderates into extremists. It'll be 100 years before everyone in that country doesn't hate us and want to hurt us. And if you think they can't, you have less of a clue than the people who started this war.

TenzoOznet

But the U.S. should not have unilateral “control” over the world’s oceans.  Also, the value of the U.S dollar is not backed by “military might” but by the post-WW2 peacetime, rules-based trading and economic order that has largely placed the U.S at the centre of the western world’s economic order. The U.S. hasn’t achieved its economic success at the barrel of a gun. That’s the Trump perspective, and it’s dead wrong. Anyway, if the U.S. and western world in general want to deal with Iran and its leverage over the strait long term, the best strategy would be to reduce reliance on fossil fuels so that Iran will never have this kind of advantage again, and a closure of the strait would be an annoyance more than a major threat. We could sufficiently decarbonize the economy to get to this point with a few years, but Trump is doing everything he can to drag the country in the opposite direction.

Hellcat081901

Same thing was said in 2022. That Russia couldn’t afford a lengthy war/Ukraine stood no chance. The gap between Iran and the U.S. is arguably lower than Ukraine and Russia as Iran is borderline uninvadable. Iran has no motivations so give up because they have no assurances the U.S. won’t restock and come back next year. They have every motivation to punish the U.S. and continue the war. Israel is psychopathic and wants this war to continue. The U.S. doesn’t have much ability to pull back now as it will only allow Iran to inflict even greater pain. So please explain to me how this was is supposed to end “quick.” This is the most powerful foe the U.S. has faced since WW2

In an effort to improve this quarter why don't we try not to destroy our alliances, trade agreements and economy? Next, let's try to not deport everyone working hard and making the country better. Then we can try to not start WW3 based on a misunderstanding of an ancient religious text in an effort to bring about the apocalypse. Attention to these matters could help to create a more reliable foundation for business and investment. Then we can discuss this little issue of the Epstein files and move personnel around accordingly.

Synergiex

I agree but at the expense of what? Risking total world financial collapse, thousands of american soldier losses, making our image even worse than ever even for our allies, trillions of loss in assets and weapons. Just because israel wanted us to do so? Keep in mind, nuclear weapons can be good, if they are used as a deterrence. That’s why there hasnt been a WW3 for centuries now. Because they all know if one of the nuclear powers gets cornered, they wont hesitate to use and then noone will win. Same balance in middle east would have been nice. If iran had nuclear, israel wouldnt be genociding palestinians, starting wars and attacking multiple sovereign middle eastern countries like a spoiled brat. And unlike israelis like to claim, iran wouldnt use it unless are really forced to. Because they would know israel and UsA would have a valid reason to totally erase them from the earth

Trump also said he would nuke Beijing if Xi invaded Taiwan in his first term. He never takes anything off the table. Hell, there's a timeline where escalating this to WW3 was always the plan.

owmysciatica

Imagine the “no new wars” guy putting us in a real possibility of WW3.

Synergiex

It is easy to start wars by attacking sovereign countries, kill their leaders, destroy their infrastructure and military; but doesnt mean it will be that easy to end. Trump better start calling russia, turkiye and others to find a deal to end this without embarrassing ourselves or putting boots on the ground. Even then you will risk WW3… this war was not planned well from the get go, was it?

SnooMacarons4225

Using a tactical nuke would set off WW3. USA will need taking down by being out of control and having and using nukes unnecessarily and not allowing anyone else to have them. It would be a green light for Russia to do the same in Ukraine and theres nothing stopping Russia passing Iran a nuke as their ally to allow them to respond in kind to the US as they can claim they have enriched uranium and make it themselves... Their nuke would probably hit Israel as they don't have the missiles to hit America and next thing you know you have multiple counties lobbing nukes in all directions

i kind of feel like very doomed when i look at the future.

How? with what business? we enter full AI-Driven Tech-feudalism. Fuck all your startups - they will be merely trainingdata for Big-Money Tech Conglomerates. Worst part about it?

eagleeye1031

LOL you are actually so stupid Iran is a country with 90 million people. The Ayatollah is the central authority for Shia Muslims and Iran has the most Shia Muslims in the world by far. I never said it will mean WW3, that is a straw man. I said they will definitely not let this transgression slide. Yes, many are happy that he is dead and he is definitely a terrible person by our standards, but he is still extremely important for the vast majority living in Iran. This is what happens when morons on wsb migrate to other subs and act like experts on shit they have no clue about

SubjectAfraid

WW3 is here.

Icy-Sheepherder-7595

They're literally dancing in celebration. Surveys indicate 80% of Iranians hate the oppressive regime. Are you aware of the thousands of dead protestors they've killed recently? Also, Iran is not the center of Islam, most other Muslims in the world like the ones living in the gulf states (which are our allies) don't give a shit he's dead, they're happy, they go to Mecca to worship anyways, which is in Saudi Arabia not Iran. Idk where this idea came from that Iran was some holy land for Muslims, it's not that's what Mecca is for. I'm so sick and tired of mouth breathers simplifying things into stupidity statements like "we killed their pope so WW3 now!!!"

Urzuck

There was a saying during WW1, "they entered the war like sleepwalkers"

Icy-Sheepherder-7595

No point in rationalizing with people who just want to scream doom and gloom. I personally am not pro-war I think you have to be psychotic to but im also not sold on "WW3 it's over waaahhh sell everything". The VIX was over 2 times higher during the tariff fiasco, many stocks still near ATH's, if shit were really hitting the fan we'd feel it. I don't buy the fear personally. Most people couldn't even tell you if Iran is Sunni or Shia

Crazed_Chemist

Torpedoes are absolutely a huge threat at this point. Modern navies with submarine forces just haven't fought that much since WW 2. Almost the entire premise of the Soviet Navy was to threaten NATO shipping in the Atlantic, we just (thankfully) never saw that play out. There's an entire LINE of sonar transponders between Greenland and Iceland just to account for that. The British sunk General Belgrano during the Falklands with a submarine. Obviously the US juat sank an Iranian Frigate with one. There are some think tanks that believe that the main way the US can limit/stop a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be with submarines. Waterborne drones change the game because you don't need to maintain a much more expensive naval asset to use them. Ukraine doesn't have a navy to shoot torpedoes at the Russian fleet, Iran when confronted with the US really doesn't have a navy. Any boat ramp with access to a road gives you the ability to deploy a sea drone against a foe you couldn't actually fire a torpedo at.

Ok-Adeptness-5834

Well so in what ways do waterborne drones differ from torpedos as a threat? We’ve been dealing with torpedos for almost a century and so far, it seems like we don’t lose ships to them post WW2. So what changes with waterborne drones?

PanzerKomadant

The time to suspend the Jones act was back in 1920 when it first came out. Because of it, US ship building got fucked post WW2 and the rise of container ships. US shipyards are now husks of their former self, while Chinese, Korean and Japanese yards dominate.

Better-Call-SauI

US really fumbled the bag with Iran. WW2 France is probably more capable fighting force than US.

JOPAPatch

You can’t protect shipping in the Gulf. It’s a bottleneck. I broke it down in another thread [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/s/4n3s6JyVBC) Basic gist is, the Iranian threat will never go away, theres too many ships, there’s no alternative routes for shipping, insurance companies will never insure the ships or will price it too high to be affordable, there’s not enough DDGs to escort ships, and not enough missiles to protect ships. Defending the Gulf and fighting through the Strait of Hormuz was war gamed in the 1990s extensively and was determined to be not feasible. Some things are impossible even for the world’s greatest military. The Navy determined that if it had to be done, there had to be a ship that the Navy could afford to lose. That birthed the littoral combat ship (LCS). The LCS became a bloated program that overran costs, leading to it no longer being affordable to lose. The Navy is really good about designing a low cost ship and making it too expensive because they have to be survivable. Wars cannot be won by the air unless the enemy is willing to surrender. Their resolve needs to be weak enough to break from just bombing alone. Congress and the US military called it strategic air theory after WW2, believing they could bomb any country’s logistical, industrial, and leadership power into oblivion, ending any war. This led to the 1949 revolt of the Admirals after Congress killed a class of aircraft carriers and wanted to eliminate the USMC. The Korean War happened and we realized that you need air, land, and sea forces to defeat an adversary. Pyongyang had zero logistics and industry left and yet they still fought on. The Islamic Republic is heavily ingrained in all aspects and facets of government and industry in Iran, making it impossible to just bomb them until they quit. They need something that can physically remove them since they cannot be motivated to just quit. They don’t care about civilian deaths because civilians can’t hold them accountable. They don’t care about keys to power like industry because there’s no risk to industry turning on them; they are the industry. The clown show is believing that air power alone could defeat Iran. There’s no ground force situated in the Gulf. Any ground invasion would need to originate in another country or by amphibious landing. Arab states have not allowed the US to strike from their countries and the next best would be Turkey, who also doesn’t approve of the war. Iraq is very opposed to the war, and the ghost of Saddam could tell you that the Zagros Mountains ain’t nothing to fuck with. Even flat Khuzestan doesn’t lead to major population centers. That leaves amphibious landings. The “green” Navy has very little self defense other than point defense weapons, relying heavily on DDGs for protection. That would mean an amphibious landing in the Gulf would require fighting through the Strait. Unlikely. That leave just Chabahar as the sole port that the US could land at. And the roads from Chabahar to the other cities are unlikely to be welcoming. The Zagros Mountains still exist. Maybe aerial assault? My history is fuzzy but airborne attacks alone don’t have a good track record. Market Garden in the Netherlands lacked the heavy weapons needed to penetrate defenses once tossed into the fray. The Nazi attack on Crete was a Pyrrhic victory, destroying their airborne force. And the most recent VDV attack on Hostomel led to soldiers getting ran over by sedans and pickups trucks because the attacks ran out of bullets and the defenders chased them down for funsies. Long and short, the plan would only be successful if Iran was willing to quit. There were no indications that they would just give up 47 years of government. There was no contingency plan of air power alone failed. It’s hilarious that the Department of Energy realized this before the Department of Defense.

Dramatic-Morning-100

Nobody can front run anything because somebody wakes up and says this would be a good day to start WW3.

Straight6er

Since the 1930s elements of various air forces across the world have pushed for strategic air bombing, they see it as the best way to fight a war: destroy manufacturing capacity, destroy the will of the people to continue the war. WW2 showed us neither of these is strictly speaking true. Turns out when people are bombed it often has a galvanizing effect on the population (Battle of Britain) and it's actually quite difficult to knock out manufacturing capacity, even when you carpet bomb an area. Also: words like "precision" are extremely misleading, even with modern cutting edge "precision" weapons the US manages to score a direct hit on an elementary school... Unless of course that was intended.

SecretPantyWorshiper

>The timeline for this war has been 4-5 days, then 2 weeks, then 8 weeks, now they're talking about September. You cannot win a war through the air. You cannot effect regime change through the air. Yeah its really crazy. I remember watching war documentaries about Vietnam and this was the exact mentality US High command had with dealing with the NVA and Veitcong. I forget who but someone said "We will bomb them back to the stoneage" The amount of ordinance dropped was absolutely absurd. ~8 million ordinance dropped. Thats more than all of the Allies in WW2 (~2.5 Million) and probably more than the combined amount dropped by both sudes lol.  It did fuck all to the NVA and Vietcong

jphilliparchitect

Global economy, energy and shipping will ripple into everything else. Look at the history of regime-change wars since WW2 and it has never worked out quickly or well. I'd think it is probably very soon when this is declared "over" or a "victory" but it won't go away. It's a terrible thing to say out loud, but after witnessing how 9/11 changed the world, I suspect there's a lot of people who quietly worry how this might lead to another major attack.

Just as my credit score went up nicely and my life finally starts to look good I got money and my positions are moving up I can afford things… do we have to start WW3 oil edition now? Like come on is this all to fuck me over?

Miserable-Age-1692

That is wild to me. You would think a nation like the US would have a few months at least of oil stockpiled in case of like idk WW3 or something similar.

justinballsonya

Haha not really true. They have way worse long term problems compared to the United States. United States isn’t facing demographic collapse on the insane scale China will. They have also been weakened by Russia going into its own steep irreversible decline 10-20 years early and what’s happened with Argentina and Iran. In fact the U.S. is the only leading country set up for long term success, really. We will have many years with dumb leaders before we really decline and collapse. China’s best bet for success is invading Taiwan, which is why they are likely to do that within the next few years and really kick off WW3.

Gom_KBull

Not a bad idea, i already see high likelihood given current events that this will evolve into WW3. going to see if i can pick up some RCAT and RTX

SaturdaysAFTBs

Have you ever heard of torpedo boats? They’ve existed since WW2.. small boats can carry torpedoes too. There’s also more than one way to launch a torpedo. There are land based launchers that can launch a rocket holding a torpedo that splashes into the water. The US Navy’s primary anti submarine warfare platform is a Blackhawk helicopter that drops torpedoes into the water.

i mean we might be in the early days of WW3 here, i think that counts as a happening. the strait of hormuz has never seen shipping activity this limited this long. shit is happening for sure.
