the power of resources

[EluguHcman]

Of course. The mathematics of this war was all carefully done before the first bomb was dropped. I'm not sure if they're getting some things wrong or certain developments surprised them along the way, but I'm sure the US isn't sacrificing anything for whatever selfish goal they have in mind in this war, except perhaps the lives of their own people, which I guess they don't value enough. I don't think they'd create this violence if it results into making their daily lives uncomfortable.

The US already have one of the strongest military strategies with a high degree of warfares.
So apparently before they launched the attack on the Iran, every necessary strategies must had been put to place in order to have an edge against the war.

Of course all of the plans and executions of every single move against the war surely consume resources of which we can not say they are loosing a dime in the war rather the costs of resources budgeted for the war may not affect their (US) economy system.
It is also unbelievable that the US government's does not value the lives of their own people. We also see the reactions of the US Presidents when they loses their military personnels.

Iran is only showing their positivity in trying harder to never give up in the fight as a religious country they are, but I am doubting if they'll be supported by other neighboring countries, and I don't know if Iran had been ready for something like this before now, and if they haven't, they should start from now onwards, even other countries should start packing up warfare resources from now.

Because preparing resources ahead from now should be arranged by the inner cabinet because tomorrow isn't known how it may be.

You have a nice argument here, countries are buckling up on the side, nobody is aware of who or what would be next. Over 1200 infantries deployed to the middle east few days ago, signifies that a strong fight awaits both sides, costing more lives of young deligent soldiers. It's sad to see this is turning to something else, hopefully not a religious war, because other countries like Saudi in the middle east are in support of Iran not having a nuclear weapon.

If this war lasts long then Middle Eastern countries will suffer the most and Iran will never accept defeat because it is almost impossible to defeat them. If at any time nature provides security to a country, it is the most difficult task for other countries to intervene. If Trump attacks gas bunkers in Iran, Iran has made it clear that it will attack all bunkers in the middle east. Because America and Israel use the oil from middle east countries the most. And this is why the Strait of Hormuz was closed in the first place. And for this other states have faced fuel and oil crisis and most of the prices have gone up. The condition of my country is not very good.Already fuel and oil crisis has occurred.

Iran claimed it took them 20 years or more to prepare for this day. They knew this day would come, and were prepared to stay till the last minute. Of course, they are aware of the suffering that comes with it, even how hard it will take them to recover from it. Also, the neighbouring countries will suffer the most because they were caught off guard. The current price of oil is only the beginning of what is coming. Soon, Trump will have no other option but to pause the war.

US President Donald Trump threatened to “blow up” the world’s largest gas field, a key Iranian asset, if Tehran keeps up its attacks on Qatar.

because of the crisis in middle east that doesn't look any near from stopping, the price of oil has hit higher again. i do not think any of the countries are willing to surrender. all has something to fight for. it will only be over when everything is said and done and by then, what would be the state of the world? i was thinking why usa has so much confidence and the answer is because while they will benefit from the oil in the middle east, they get most of their oil from canada. when you have the resources, you can really afford to start and sustain a war.

To quote 2Pac, “they have money to start wars but not to feed the poor”. The US has a long history of neglecting domestic issues while jumping into conflicts just to prove global strength. Whether the situation with Iran affects their oil reserves directly or not, one thing is clear, it is already putting pressure on their internal economy. At the end of the day, war is not just about military power or who has more resources, it is about strategy and resilience. Having access to oil or strong supply chains like from Canada may give confidence, but it does not mean everything will go as planned. These kinds of conflicts always come with deeper consequences than expected.

USA have enough resources to beat Iran but Donald trump has no patience and he will not extend that war. Because he want immediate result which is not possible at that moment and Iran will fight till Donald trump will accept that he is loser because Iran has enough energy and missile to defend that country and all World is facing crises and middle east is facing crises of oil and gas and it has will not stop then situation will be more worse that that and there should be sitting on table because of there will be no sitting then there will be no result. When USA will attack on multiple countries then multiple countries will lose their resources and people are losing their money and safety due to this war because they invested their all money on their house and War destroyed them and now they are on the road.

The fight over resources has been there since the start of men in the world. This war currently going on is clearly due to the control of resources because, any side that wins will not only win with bombs and guns but, also have control over resources. The middle east is one place that is blessed with oil and the control over this oil is one thing that is one of the primary reasons of this war. Many may not agree or look at it that way but that's the fact,  the so called super powers of today all has resources at their disposal which was taken by any means best known to them.

Whoever controls the resources, they have the power to dictate the power. And that's what Trump is trying to do and at the same time, he's trying to manipulate the markets and it's seen that there were trading orders 5 minutes before his announcement or statements on his social truth account. I think that they're milking the best out of this war, not just the oil that they might get from the Gulf area but for the markets that are also tuning in with the geopolitics. They are earning it all, oil, data, information, all of it leads to money and power.

What if that’s a propaganda, a propaganda that seeks to get the other side into believing that this can go on for that long and think just how long they are willing to stay in it.

This war continues to reap from the world, the very essence of our human existence and it shows just how disastrous resources in the wrong hands can impact the world negatively. Make no mistake, it’s always up to an individual on how to use a resource for the benefit of all or to their detriment.

What if that’s a propaganda, a propaganda that seeks to get the other side into believing that this can go on for that long and think just how long they are willing to stay in it.

This could also be a propaganda ploy to deter the enemy. But consider what Iran has demonstrated throughout the war. It is evident that they were also quite well prepared for the war, having responded appropriately to the strong attack from the US and Israel. If they had not prepared beforehand, they probably wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand and would have had to surrender.

The US military budget is $1 trillion per year, while Iran's is only around $15-17 billion per year. The US is spending over $20 billion in just one month of the war. If Iran had not prepared for years, I do not think they could have surprised their enemies like that.

The majority believed, and so did I.

Iran wont be able to face the US and Israeli strike if they have not been preparing for this war. Remember, this is not the first war against Iran. When Trump was in the seat years back, he also executed an attack on Iran. In history, we've seen many wars between Iran and other countries, especially against Israel. That is the reason why Iran has to equip their defence against any future attack. It is not propaganda, at least the evidence of their strike on US bases in the neighbouring countries is proof of what they are capable of.

I also just expressed my view on this conflict in another thread, and I agree that the main cause of this war is the threat to the dominance of the petrodollar. However, this is not just what Trump wants, I believe this is also what America want.
It could be said that this conflict is inevitable, regardless of who becomes president this term, not just Trump. Because once the petrodollar system weakens, it will directly threaten the US superpower status.

This isnt the first time the petrodollar has been threatened, but this time the situation seem more serious because their opponent is China. The world's 2largest economy, and supported by the BRICS.

Cause of this war?! Israel,  I mean Israel domination in the middle east.
Donald Trump attacking China indirectly, since they can not go to ad fro with them in the tariff war and also they need Chinese approval to get rare earth minerals for their own auto mobile production. So China gets its oil from iran and if he can control Iran, he'll have Chinese locked up in his palm. I can also agree with the petrodollar, you spot on.

To me, Israel is just a vassal state of the US, and if they dominate the Middle East. This means the US has successfully maintained its Petrodollar empire.

Trump is attacking indirectly because they cannot compete directly with China. If the competition were direct and fair, the US would lose humiliatingly. Therefore, instead of competing fairly, they resorted to dirty tricks to weaken China in order to maintain their superpower status.
Overall, their plan has been effective, but its still not enough to completely halt the de dollarization process. Sooner or later, China will adapt and continue its expansion, threatening the superpower status of the US. A multipolar world is gradually emerging.

I doubt its propaganda given that the US and Israel have always viewed Iran as a major enemy
and how the media controlled by them has fooled everyone i to believing Iran were a risk essentially
to the rest of the world. Iran consists of an ancient civilisation and an extremely well educated population,
they are not stupid people.

The power of resources:

Well that is becoming the major talking point now that we are in this for 4 weeks, Oil, Gas, Urea and Helium.
We are facing into a major food shortage in 2027 because of essentially a shortage of Oil, Gas and Urea
which are essential directly or indirectly to food production.
and Helium for microchip production.

Before a country goes to a war with another country they must do their homework to determine the strength of their enemy to know if they stand a chance to win and the process includes checking their resources whether they can sustain the war if it escalates. This is the strength of America, they know that they have what it takes to sustain a war especially if it's not with a fellow powerful country like like Russia and China.

I agree that the oil crisis in middle east won't affect them directly because their neighbor which is Canada is nearer to them than the Asian continent. If the war lingers on it'll majorly affect countries that are near Iran and countries who's business interests passes through Iran which America, is not among.

It true America has what it takes to withstand till the end if the war escalate and know one can dispute that as before the war even started they have know what Iran is capable of doing, what they never knew was that Iran will not come out to face them squarely but uses the waterways as a strategic point to increase hardship over there and if they can find any alternatives, I will say America won't be affected at all.
As for the oil crisis, I will say something needs to be done about it as soon as possible because I see no reason humans finds pleasure in making others suffering,  the conflict is between US, Israel and Iran and should be controlled so other neighbouring countries won't be affected by what they know nothing about.
