Considering his first two predictions, this prediction is more than a little concerning.

    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 :(

      And also youtube is a cesspool of AI misinformation. Just blatant lies about major world changing events. And tons of comments about the completely fake news article. Have to scroll a mile down to finally see someone using a little bit of critical thinking. I think we are in trouble 😳

      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.

        Or I am someone who lost his enlisted best friend to the Iraq war.

        But yeah, you totally know me and my motivations.

        You worthless fucktard.

    Problem: You can’t lose a war you have no definition for winning.

    So in the end, the US literally can’t win or lose the war, all they can do is simply choose to end it.

    What is the end goal? What does winning the war look like? 🤷 Yeah, me either. But if you don’t define it, you can’t lose it either.

    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.

    Besides the nature of asymmetrical warfare, let’s not forget also that Iran is fighting for survival, whilst America and Israel are fighting for profit (and many soldiers, for the joy of murder and rape, I guess).
