/b/ - Siberia

tldr: Political change has to come from within the west and can not come from outside forces. Although I think that is unlikely. Mamdani might be the only signal in that direction.

>helplessness of Venezuelan air defense
What?
So far, the US has struck random fishing boats in the Caribbean. They aren't even all Venezuelan boats. The fuck does that have to do with Venezuelan air defenses?

The strikes on Iran weren't a huge show of US air capability, their significance was largely as a show that the US was admitting to entering the war directly, and that they served to bail out Israel which was losing military and economic assets at a pace which would have destroyed it had the exchanges gone on for longer. Iran retaliated to the US by striking an airbase. It isn't a great testimony to the strength of the U.S. airforce, all it says is that Iran doesn't want to fight them if the U.S. doesn't attack first, which is obvious, but also Iran doesn't even fight Israel unless Israel attacks them first, so it's not even unique to the U.S. The U.S. military obviously has higher military capacity than the IDF, but we don't need this example to know that.

Mamdani has nothing to do with this lol.
Western elections don't matter on this.
Turn the military, destroy the factories, take the weapons. That fucking simple.
