Years late to modern tactics and you can rest assured they won't be "saving" anything on the traditional, overpaid sacks of **** arsenal bolstered by the MIC that got beat by every country in modern engagements, including Yemen last year.

America First!
Agreeing to it was stupid and everyone knew it -- see comments last night -- but luckily that conclusion didn't even require 1 day, never mind 2 weeks, to figure out for the few lingering doubters.
Apparently the Chinese were pushing hard for diplomacy. Iran did and it went as well as can be expected, with some unknowns about any sneak advantages that may have been taken by the American military in the meantime.
Now the strait is closed again and Iran will retaliate. Except this time, they should hold fast to negotiations by ballistics.
Gulf countries are led by despots, what their people do or don't think - and the civilian population is not immune from short-sighted retardation - doesn't matter.
Very few actually side with Iran despite outward speeches. Look at their geopolitical and economic dealings instead, where they willingly signed the Abraham accords and barter goods for shekels.
It comes down to a matter of greed and over-confidence. For example, many of the GCC were warned of Western entanglements given the Zionist agenda, but they felt they were special due to Nvidia chips, etc. Seriously.
One of them was a colonel, so more value than normal values.
As for why he was there...well, it's part of the obvious fuckery afoot.
U.S. is at least partially lying, we'll have to continue to wait for the full truth to come out.
I don't have any sympathy for Americans who willing sign up for war post-Iraq, either cynically or being stupid enough to still think they are defending the homeland. And I have relatives in the military.
As for the war, in terms of traditional air warfare, the paradigm shift was the F-35 weeks ago. That is far more consequential long-term sans Iran.

Just some information about the timing and amount of legalized insider trading happening.
If you're talking about Stormy Daniels then that has always been contested. I don't know how much of that is true, but he's rich so I always assumed a string of affairs with his wives entering marriage with knowledge of typical WAG etiquette of overlooking such things provided it's done with appropriate subtlety.
But those are all ultimately speculations. We don't need any of that given his provable cover up of systematic rape of women and children, and gratuitous acts of genocide and war crimes on behalf of foreign entities while actively bankrupting the economic and geopolitical capital of the American public.
There is zero ground for Trump of all individuals to morally chastise others.
Don't think Trump administration is too bothered about this, some of them are busy making obscene amounts of money - https://nitter.poast.org/barkmeta/status/2036154042838069441
Improved graphics quality, lower latency, and higher refresh rates will help. Currently, the brain has to work very hard to process VR input but all of these are visible aspects where significant advancements can be made.
(You can get severe eye strain and dizziness even with non-VR games where tweaking settings like field of vision completely mitigates them, so this shouldn't be taken lightly.)
And inversely as visuals improve, corresponding techniques to reduce information overload in unimportant areas to avoid over-taxing the brain will similarly evolve...i.e. peripheral and far vision.
Will this completely solve the issue for every single person and case? Probably not. Some people get motion sickness in real life cars, so there's no reason to think VR will be bullet-proof, but the technology doesn't have to be perfect -- merely viable.
This is all with understanding about current technology and limitations. Once that has been achieved, and 'that' is a herculean effort on its own, will more fantastical elements like control & input via brain waves shift the paradigm further? I have no idea, it's not something I'm particularly knowledgeable about other than the vague fact there are successful applications of it in research to some extent.
...but the human brain does behave differently when lucid dreaming. So, perhaps it's not strictly impossible from a purely biological view even though we have no idea how.
Yes, I expect there to be multiple levers of controls. Right now developers fixate on interactivity -- like golf swings or my batting example -- because it's extremely difficult to actually develop VR games, so the technical scope is limited.
Once that gets easier, and technological evolution starts to address nausea and other side effects, the visual experience will get more focus with passive gaming.
And it won't always be an either-or situation either, some games (including sports), will offer an option to switch between the 2 depending on user mood, and others will be glorified movies to begin with.
Right now VR is still very much in its infancy. We are going to see lots of growth in the next couple of decades and beyond.
As I said, I'm not qualified to predict how badly the U.S. will fare unlike other users here with economic backgrounds...but I am 100% confident that there is to simply "wipe" out over $40 trillion dollars of fiat dollars in debt without ramifications despite an eventual CDBC.
There is no job sector today unless you're among the niche elites, in essential blue-collar jobs like electrician, or part of the governmental grift (i.e. not real jobs). Millions are going to lose their retirement savings, houses, etc., with no recourse. Food production will continue to become more expensive as inflation remains in over-drive.
Manufacturing has been deliberately dismantled within America, so I really don't see any positive outcome. People are going to starve and die and stop reproducing. I don't think we're going to become a 3rd world country, but things are going to get worse and worse and worse for us commoners.
We'll be dead by the time that's a reality....and I say that strictly for us retail peasants. There's a lot of research and hidden technology today along these lines, including for the blind. But however advanced it is or becomes, we are not the audience.
I don't think the introduction of other sensory elements like smell in mainstream is impossible. I remember it being floated ~20+ years ago by some Microsoft suit while I was in high school (I forget what presentation it was but it was local).
Biggest issue with VR is that it's extremely uncomfortable and the dearth of both games and intra-game content. That would be a massive hurdle to overcome, rejoice if it ever gets over that hump before worrying about more fancy things.
The U.S. cannot finance its debt and all political actions have only accelerated the death of the petro-dollar.
I did not imagine that the eventual war with Iran would be implemented so ineptly as it has, but here we are, hyper-accelerating BRICS and ensuring that our "enemies" (as defined by current policies) actively profit.
So, economically, not very good. I don't want to bother actually predicting because I'm not very good at it.
Gaming wise VR will absolutely be "the thing" one day, 25 years is a long enough time that maybe we'll start seeing payoffs in terms of actual game development given AI acceleration.
Not to an extreme, but in terms of minimizing dizziness & headaches, and making interactivity work. For example, a baseball game where you can swing the bat without worrying about height adjustment and other weirdness.
Ignoring trolls like GhostFox or true followers like Dr. Jester when he was here early on before fucking back to Half-KIA, LeRiverDanube, MLGS, and Slav4U among others.
Whether it's sucking pure Trump's Zionist cock, framing it as the "lesser evil" while ignoring AIPAC and Mossad operations, the result is all the same. Unfortunately, some have left entirely, so history doesn't show true voting sentiment due to WIN's implementation.
A few threads I recalled have (unfortunately) aged beautifully:
More and more states conclude that cohabitation on a certain time length is effectively marriage with legal consequences, so even the deed itself is becoming increasingly irrelevant.
