It's the biggest military buildup since 2003. Kinda looks like they plan on overthrowing the regime. Which would be amazing for world peace considering Iran is building drones for Russia and supporting Hezbollah and Hamas. But we'll see...

Not a meaningful supplier anymore, Russia just took the designs and onshored the manufacturing.

Almost as amazing for world peace as when the US overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime and gave birth to the Islamic State.

Yeah -- it only took a world war, massive global alliances, and tens of millions of deaths. Also, I’m not sure how political and military competence from about a century ago has any relevance to today.
