The opening line "Israel has become the second country in history to use nuclear weapons in war..." didn't even phase me. I just accepted that as today's news update. It started sounding increasingly unlikely, but the fact that I didn't even blink at the opening line is kinda scaring me.
Oh my god this comment fucking saved me. Was genuinely dying for a second there. (Especially since Iran has likely already enriched Uranium and produced nukes of its own - meaning retaliation, although Israeli nukes are likely far more developed)
Quite honestly, we're living in pre-war years. WWIII is on our doorstep. If you study pre WW1 and pre WW2 its a lot of small things that added-up, little things here and there, a reaction to a reaction to a reaction, a 'we must' here and a 'we should' there, countless weak and venal politicians, business people etc... and before you know it... well, what you thought could never happen is happening, and everything we thought we knew is just, over.
@@kontankarite Nobody called it WW1 while it was happening, i think. People later called it that. But, yeah, we r just on the cusp of a major conflict.
@@guilzd5836 I wish it werent so. I usually take time to tell youngsters to avoid the military at all costs. These days seem far FAR more.dangerous than the following couple years after 9/11.
That intro had me panic that I somehow missed the craziest news that could ever drop. I was literally about to look it up before being told it actually didn't happen.
The only part about it that is complete fantasy is the US president threatening Iran with an overwhelming response if they dare to retaliate. I mean... if Iran has already being nuked, what else could the US do to it that is worse than that? Also, does anyone think Iran would obey the US and not retaliate after being so brutally attacked by Israel?
man, the fact the US ran a simulation to see how well the invasion of Iran would go only to find they would just get completely merc'd honestly brought me great joy
From what I've heard (indirectly as a result of a dimbulb asking some top brass at a dinner about 'invading Iran' at a certain AFB): look for the US to withdraw forces from Iraq/Saudi Arabia and other nearby states if they are planning on military action against Iran. It's counter-intuitive, but they don't think their bases in the region will have any real defences against Iranian missile strikes.
It’s extremely difficult even for a superpower to invade a country where the wolves hide amongst the sheep. Drones and AI technology will help even the playing field over time.
@@UndertakerFromWWEthose drones just target people who look like adult men. Look at Gaza for example. There are no AI programs that can discern an actual terrorist from a civilian. And the fact that nations are making AI programs with explicit intent to kill people is surely going to end well for humanity.
A handful of corrupt officials shouldn’t own and control the means of production, distribution and exchange. Workers make the world run, workers should run the world.🌎🏴🇵🇸
That required raising class consciousness and getting workers to organize in their own interests. As we see from the video. Countries have to have defensive systems in place since capitalism means war.
The war industry is one of the main pillars of the US economy, and it has been growing since J.P. Morgan bought up defective rifles and then resold those rifles to the US government during the Civil War. “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. "The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people." "This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road that the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." -President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 'A Chance for Peace'
They know they are, they've always known. You think they actually believed in their "missions for democracy", "peacekeeping", "humanitarian bombing", overthrowing democratically elected governments and replacing them by fascist dictators "in the name of democracy and freedom", or shock "therapy"? Just like the Western Europeans knew the slave trade was evil, these elitist bastards know they're evil as well.
@@sirsancti5504 most countries are still afraid to attack an American backed regime. Even with other powerful allies. Some of these countries are becoming bolder the more situations we put ourselves into.
I served two tours in Iraq. Invading Iran would be NOTHING like the invasion of Iraq. Iran has a population of 76 million, roughly three times that of Iraq. The geography of Iran is mountainous and rugged. With most of the population centers residing in the central plateau of the country. Iraq geographically is a flat dessert. Iraq once had a very formidable military but was basically neutered during the Persian Gulf war. While Iran is doesn't posses as much advance equipment as the US, it is still in a lot better shape than Iraq was in 2003. Iran has several allies in the area in Syria and Lebanon. Not to mention Iran has strong economic and military ties with Russia. Iraq was alone with no strong allies.
I honestly would've believed that they had done it in the past but the US and Israel had done so much coverup and denial that it's just being revealed now that their war crimes are more visible. And That's a crazy statement
I just got done reading that U.S. is sending troops to the middle east in retaliation to Iran's possible retaliation to Israel... then I watch the first minute of this and my poor heart almost gave out.
Scary but honestly Israel bombs the Iran embassy and are surprised that Iran does something back?? Although I don’t they are surprised at all, seems very deliberate by Israel to crank the war machine up a notch

Just watched "A Compassionate Spy" about Ted Hall and he said something about how the cold war wasn't the US vs the USSR, it was militarism vs humanity.
God that cold open gave me chills - primarily because its a completely believable scenario. I really hope i can see the US change from its warmongering ways and support for genocidal states within my lifetime
Minor corrections: There are many missiles named Ra'ad, RAAD, etc. Iran has both the Ra'ad and the RAAD. The RAAD which you are talking about is wire guided, but you are showing the anti-ship cruise missile called the Ra'ad. You state the Ra'ad "wire guided anti-tank missile" has a range of 350 km. There is no wire-guided missile with a range of more than maybe 10 km, and the 350 km Ra'ad missile is designed as an anti-ship missile with a turbofan for propulsion.
The capitalist class has a shared interests with each other. Something the working class and ordinary people should work on in their interests like in getting rid of capitalism.
What exactly is the point of a military simulation, if you are going to handicap the opponent. By definition, the opponent isn't going to play by your rules in war, so trying to simulate such a situation would be pointless.
Apparently it's all just to help you psych yourself by getting high off your own supply. That and to intimidate the people you are simulating murdering... Although the intimidation factor is undermined pretty damn bad when you have to give your opponent all kinds of fake handicaps to win.
The point is that military big wigs don't want to appear incompetent, so they handicap the red team. This happens all the time in all sorts of organizations. Society is complex, so people in charge can subtly rig the game to make it seem like they are geniuses. Then they retire with a lot of money and kick the can down the road for someone else, who rinse and repeat.
@@ChasmChaosmilitary exercises are often promotion like arms trade shows, not real assessments. The west lives in a delusional bubble of self aggrandisement nowadays.
When you run a simulation you're doing a learning exercise. So some restrictions might be put in place to find out what would happen if the landing succeeded etc. In this case, it sounds like they're trying to make the simulation more realistic. If tensions are rising and the US moves aircraft carries into your waters you might immediately attack them, or you might hesitate hoping you don't have to go to war with the most powerful military in the world. For example
@@edwardwilson4997 reading the details on wikipedia, it doesn't look like there was any intention of learning. The only chance an inferior force has against a superior one is by using guerilla tactics and the red team was forbidden from using those. It's not realistic to make it seem like Iran would just lie there and do nothing.
That scared the crap out of me... I started feverishly searching on google... While I think it's an effective "wake-up," the panic it induces may inspire less-desirable behaviours...
I am upset with myself for just not having a proper emotional response to that bit at the beginning of the video. It feels like that is what I would expect to happen in the world.
The section about the Ra'ad is incorrect. There are no wire-guided ATGMs with a range of anywhere near 350km, and that looks nothing like a Malyutka. I suspect they have two separate missiles called Ra'ad and you have combined the information about them into one. Edit: I checked and yes, the Ra'ad ATGM looks nearly identical to the Malyutka and has a 400-3,000 meter range.
I think this a great video, but I feel some details were missing about Iran's capabilities that make this war very dangerous for the US and the world. 1. This war is primarily going to be fought from the sea. Iran uses small boats and drones that will swarm and harass our ships in the water. Not to mention some of them are suicide boats and drones. Our aircraft carrier strike groups are ill prepared to handle a swarm attack. 2. Iran will likely place mines in the Straight of Hormuz which will cause massive economic damage as the Straight is a major corridor for trade and oil exports. Expect gas to go through the roof. 3. If Iran wins the war, they will be taking control of a number of oil fields that are vital to the USA. We may also see that our middle eastern partners are not as loyal as you think which would be a huge blow to USA hegemony.
There’s no way Iran wins a war with the U.S. The last time Iran & the US had a conflict Iran lost a significant number of its naval vessels in Operation Praying Mantis. Iran has many vulnerabilities & weaknesses.
@@rickw3243 Yes, the US may win. But at what cost? The past few wars have cost the US a ton of money, resources, and time against poorly funded enemies who use low tech solutions to fight the USA. Imagine what it would cost the USA to fight a real military...
I just saw the title, and my fear from over in the imperial core is that the moment this happens all the "moderate" progressives who've been keeping quiet about Gaza and the West Bank will see this as their guilt-free ticket to supporting Israel wholeheartedly.
The intro didn’t fool me since I looked at the comments first, but the rest of the video wasn’t any better at easing the nerve. Still, perfectly done. It’s important to emphasise the looming dangers and risks. In the event of a war with Iran we socialists in the US must revive the anti-war movement and do what we can to stop this as soon as possible

"How Many Are Fortunate

Awaiting the Creator to issue orders of salvation
Modern notions and conduct are demonic
Atheism and evolutionary theory hide filth behind them
The Dafa [Great Law] of salvation has been taught-decide for yourself if you will obtain it
How many people are hesitant, how many are fortunate

Holy Mercy
I sing my feelings aloud in a song
My voice breaks through the thick fog and dark clouds
Merciful salvation is offered now
The Lord Creator has already arrived
Modern notions are poisonous cancer
Atheism pushes away divine nature
Evolutionary theory is born of stupidity
I sing the truth, with lyrics simple and clear
Each note conveys wisdom spreading through the body
The divine path to salvation leads to the dance stage
The Dafa that created the world connects you with a sacred destiny
With infinite grace, the divine path begins

Looks like you were right! What just happen it's starting up. Keep up the good work.
Damn that’s crazy that Iran is attacking Israel right now 😂
Bro predicted the future
That intro scared the frick out of me
Well timed
Your deadpan is too good, man, even knowing this is a "What If" video you're still doling out heart murmurs to the masses
I already watched to this from the patreon but my blood still ran cold with that open
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jesus fucking Christ I almost fell over in my seat after playing the video with that intro. Holy fuck
I never opened google this fucking fast gezzz
this feels a lot like an alternatehistoryhub video. Not complaining but that's an interesting parallel in your presentation.
MY HEARTRATE AT THE START📈📈
I never heard of the millenium challenge, I wonder if that made the US avoid invading Iran during the shock and awe part of the "war on terror"
I am upset with myself for just not having a proper emotional response to that bit at the beginning of the video. It feels like that is what I would expect to happen in the world.
The section about the Ra'ad is incorrect. There are no wire-guided ATGMs with a range of anywhere near 350km, and that looks nothing like a Malyutka. I suspect they have two separate missiles called Ra'ad and you have combined the information about them into one.
Edit: I checked and yes, the Ra'ad ATGM looks nearly identical to the Malyutka and has a 400-3,000 meter range.
Iran is not scare of Izraelis nucklaire weapons,because they have their own nuclear weapons.
Btw, yes.
Bullshit, they don't have nukes yet.
I get trying to grab people’s attention but tricking people into thinking a nuclear war was happening is fucked up
It's happening, just one day after this video was release
Bro got me thinking Israel nuked Iran
I think this a great video, but I feel some details were missing about Iran's capabilities that make this war very dangerous for the US and the world.
1. This war is primarily going to be fought from the sea. Iran uses small boats and drones that will swarm and harass our ships in the water. Not to mention some of them are suicide boats and drones. Our aircraft carrier strike groups are ill prepared to handle a swarm attack.
2. Iran will likely place mines in the Straight of Hormuz which will cause massive economic damage as the Straight is a major corridor for trade and oil exports. Expect gas to go through the roof.
3. If Iran wins the war, they will be taking control of a number of oil fields that are vital to the USA. We may also see that our middle eastern partners are not as loyal as you think which would be a huge blow to USA hegemony.
There’s no way Iran wins a war with the U.S. The last time Iran & the US had a conflict Iran lost a significant number of its naval vessels in Operation Praying Mantis. Iran has many vulnerabilities & weaknesses.
@@rickw3243 When was the last time the USA won a war?
@@rickw3243 Yes, the US may win. But at what cost? The past few wars have cost the US a ton of money, resources, and time against poorly funded enemies who use low tech solutions to fight the USA.
Imagine what it would cost the USA to fight a real military...
Good thing the comments spoiled it for me and there was no actual nuclear strike.
We're such a great and willing workforce that we made war inevitable.
Oh my lord you predicted it
Anyone else thought that the intro had actually happened and we just learned about it?
Because it indeed gave me a spook
Scary how believable the intro is
That opening was terrifying and I immediately started looking for updates. Please put something before that to make it clear.
How would he get you to watch his shitty vids otherwise
I watched the intro and I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't true. That scared me 😭
I just saw the title, and my fear from over in the imperial core is that the moment this happens all the "moderate" progressives who've been keeping quiet about Gaza and the West Bank will see this as their guilt-free ticket to supporting Israel wholeheartedly.
good timing
Right after my guy “The Genocide in Gaza” I left everything and subbed, liked, and I even liked 2 other of his vids😅
Id vote for a presidential candidate that promises to no longer back Israel
The scariest part is I didn't even bat an eye at the opening, the media really does just make people apathetic, doesn't it?
welp, here we go lads.
The intro didn’t fool me since I looked at the comments first, but the rest of the video wasn’t any better at easing the nerve. Still, perfectly done. It’s important to emphasise the looming dangers and risks. In the event of a war with Iran we socialists in the US must revive the anti-war movement and do what we can to stop this as soon as possible
