The Biggest Problem With the United States Military Warfare Strategy is that the Military Industrial Complex is More Capitalist Than Patriotic.

We'll start with this clip from Ben Norton explaining why the US is losing against Iran (at least by traditional, measurable metrics):


 

The latest "phase" or gambit coming out of the United States is "Economic D-Day," which I posted about earlier.

China has basically laughed this off:


Iran, by all accounts, is either prepared or is preparing for the fallout (after all, they have been heavily sanctioned even before the war):


But why the switch from missiles to bank accounts? Ben Norton clarifies:


This has lead to unfortunate military consequences for the US military:


The long-range weapons are either in low supply or spent, Iranian capabilities have been massively underestimated, and the re-supplying locations (aka, the US military bases in West Asia that Iran has destroyed) are no longer an option, forcing the US to pivot.


 We've seen examples of how these conditions have impacted military morale.

And that's not all: the weapons that America rely on for military success aren't even that accurate:



So, yes...maybe in 20-30 years (and at the cost of trillions of dollars) the US will have the weapons for another "shock and awe" attack.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
