Yeah, those videos where they show just one of the magazines and it's like miles of tunnels filled to the ceiling with missiles. They have an absurd stockpile. I've heard a lot of the old ones don't even have warheads so they just function as decoys. But every one of the Iron Dome missiles will be loaded with a warhead.
I'm curious because I would have thought Israel would have a stockpile that was absurd compared to anything the world has ever known. The entity has the greater Satan, the greatest arms-maker the world will likely ever sustain, feeding them supplies. Which one has the greater supply?
Belevie it or not north Korea, they manufacture something like 60 percent of the world's missiles and artillery, american, russian and Iranian production is not as good because they are libs. The best outcome for this war is one in wich Iran transitions to military socialism, if they do that then it's over. Some faction in the militia have been pushing for this, but the technocrats refuse.
Military socialism?
"You WILL take this healthcare, and you WILL get free education!"
The news then explains how Iran is now oppressing people via free healthcare and education
THEY'RE ROUNDING UP SICK AND INJURED PEOPLE INTO THESE INSTITUTIONAL BUILDINGS TO DO MEDICAL PROCEDURES ON THEM!!! SOME OF THEM DIE IN THE PROCESS!!!! THEY EVEN CART THEM IN IN THESE LARGE VEHICLES WHERE THEY RESTRAIN THEM TO A BED AND HAVE AN OFFICIAL WATCHING THEM EVERY SECOND!!! THE TRUCKS HAVE FLASHING LIGHTS AND MAKE NOISES AS A WARNING TO LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THEY BETTER NOT GET SICK OR INJURED!!!!
You use militias to force the economy to focus on military production, ration some products, and temporarily suspend market mechanisms to ensure everyone has food, and basic necessities.
As the crisis ends, you switch to other economic activities, while still keeping aggregate demand high by investing in productive equipment, without the need for market mechanisms like loan financing. Untill you end up with infrastructure spending.
Basically the Soviet model during WW2.
Ploughshares -> Swords (T-30/40s) -> Ploughshares + Swords
BasicLli the problem with Iran's economy is that instability is preventing their capitalists to invest and their people from consuming more, so someone else has to do the investing, in this case the militias persuade the private firms to do their part for a little while.
