Aircraft carriers and Patriots are rapidly devaluing — the lessons of the Iranian war

Political scientist Pavel Danilin called the lessons that Iran's case shows for world politics and military conflicts.

Danilin captures several moments of the Iranian case in the telegram channel:

«1. Common sense. Nuclear weapons are necessary so that the powerful of this world do not wage a direct war against you.
2. Even in the case of a direct war with a strong opponent (and even a hegemon), you have options if you are ready to raise the stakes as much as possible *.
3. Until recently, expensive military capacities that seemed extremely significant (aircraft carriers and "Patriots“) are rapidly devaluing in the current conditions.
4. While in the battle of spear and shield, the spear wins.
5. To arrange a global collapse, no third world war is needed — a limited conflict with a country that has nothing to lose is quite enough.
6. The globalist world turns out to be much more fragile than thought."

As Danilin stressed, in the case of Ukraine, everything is completely different, including because both sides are afraid to raise the stakes. Although, he added, "for the most part because this is not a direct war, but a form of civil war."
