Considering his first two predictions, this prediction is more than a little concerning.
He posts his class lectures on YouTube which are worth a watch since he predicted this almost a year ago, and now he has an updated one for this semester.
I think the only thing he got wrong (for now) was the US deploying ground troops. It could still happen, but I think it’ll take some time if it ever does.
But aside from that he even guessed the details right like the IRGC shooting thousands of protesters, and Israel pushing Trump into the war, and the idea that they would mostly bomb city areas which would completely remove the chance of any revolution or regime change.
Could they lose? Name one war in the past 70 yesrs they didn’t lose?
Arguably they “won” the Korean war as their stated goal was to keep the democratic south alive. As well, the original Gulf war was also a win, but that was a “coalition” force.
The more I think about it the more every one of those ‘lost’ wars transfered a lot of money from working people to weapons manufacturers and all it costed the people in charge was other peoples kids lives and global stability, so maybe I’m looking at the whole thing wrong honestly.
Fuck off moving the goalposts. I’m sorry the west isn’t as incompetent as Russia.
They have no idea how to win it.
They have no idea what their goal even is.
The goal is to be at war. The US is always at war. There is always an enemy to fight, if there is no convenient enemy to fight then you go to some random country, invade it, and thus create an enemy, who they proceed to then lose to.
For bonus points you should kill as many civilians as possible while claiming to be the liberators. Also you should, on the way out, backstab as many people that assisted you as possible.
Bring back Jesus or die trying
Which makes you wonder if it’s chapter 1 in some other plan.
You are trying to assign logic. That is the problem. There is probably no 4D chess. Just vibes. Bad vibes.
I knew someone would call it 4D chess but I’m not suggesting mad genius. I’m just maybe waiting for the other shoe to drop.
If you begin a task with no clear goal you cannot succeed, nor can you fail. The best you can hope for is to learn something from the process. This will be a costly lesson.
Americans and learning are mutually exclusive at this point.
Please do not mistake a government for its people.
“Can the US lose in a way that allows the crazies in office to save face in their eyes?” seems an important question to me. Because if the options are the US clearly losing vs. the US clearly losing but nuking Iran so everyone loses…
Silly rabbit, America’s never lost a war. It’s impossible for us to lose a war. We just choose to stop fighting one day, it’s totally different I swear.
In another post it was helpfully pointed out that the professor in question also believes in the illuminati and other secret cabals controlling society. Take that as you will.
He has another long YT video about how immigration ruined Canada. Full of stereotypes.
I get that when you want to talk about geopolitics you have to generalize a bit, but this guy generalizes hard multiple times per sentence, these big crystal palaces out of those generalizations and then fashions predictions based on the layout of those palaces. It’s all a bit facile.
Speaking of easy, someday we will realize that this is a guy who predicted Trump would win and that there would be a war with Iran and those two things are not exactly Nostradamus-worthy.
Still I like him. Good food for thought. He thinks about things at a very high level.
So, enlightened awareness.
I love how there’s a ton of comments and upvotes here, yet OP’s article is paywalled behind a subscription. Did anyone here actually read it?
It reminds me of a post I just saw elsewhere, with total nonsense in the link. Since it was already upvoted, the moderater left it up as an experiment: it got a boatload of upvotes and comments. No one cared, even with someone pointing this out in a comment. It was just a bunch of the same comments affirming what they already believed.
…That about sums up the internet for me now. People don’t actually care where information came from; they just want to drive by, then keep scrolling :(
No.
They are just a bunch of anti-USA types who just think this conflict is evidence of the collapse of America, or something. And they are eager cheering on the supposed downfall, and begging for any narrative or infopoint that makes america look bad.
Bombing alone has never worked as a means of forcing regime change. So Trump will either have to succeed at this for the first time in history, back down (seems unlikely at this point) or put boots on the ground (for which he has not manufactured consent).I guess he could also just die on the shitter and make it the next guys problem. There are many avenues for the US to lose here.
No
The article was perfectly readable to me but sure cope harder.
He already backed down. Regime change isn’t the goal. It’s destroy the Iranian military. Which they will accomplish easily.
Regime change isn’t the goal.
According to his latest tweet “unconditional surrender” is his goal. I wonder what his goal will be next week.
