This is not someone I followed on X till just now. I know nothing about him but I think this post is brilliant and probably true.
I hate to say I told you so but I told you one week ago that it looked like America would lose this war.
I was also right to oppose the Iraq war and the Anglo-American intervention in Syria.
The Romans were defeated by the Persians in the most humiliating fashion possible multiple times
The emperor Valerian lived the rest of his life as a human footstool for Shapur
It wasn't because they were more powerful, it was because they had better tactics and strategy
Iran is fighting an asymmetric war against the United States. The Trump regime is already stumbling in the face of this threat. Logistically and financially, neither the US nor the world can handle these disruptions. Iran has been there for thousands of years and will weather the storm.
Like the Roman emperors before him, Donald Trump will be humbled by the Persians. His legacy will be one of failure and humiliation, similar but much more extreme than Richard Nixon.
This war will go down in history as the greatest strategic blunder ever committed by the United States. It might end the Empire. The economic and geopolitical consequences that will arise from this event will shake the foundations of the world as well as the United States.
Work on preparing yourselves and your families for the utter calamity that will befall the world in the coming years.
Persians also visited our neighbourhood aprox 600 years before the Romans...

In spring 513 BC, Darius marched from Susa (Persia) with a huge army (Herodotus claims ~700,000, but modern estimates are lower). He crossed the Bosporus Strait on a famous pontoon bridge built by his Greek engineer Mandrocles of Samos. The Persian fleet (mostly Ionian Greeks) supported the operation.The army then marched north through Thrace (the heart of the Balkans):They subdued local tribes, including the Getae.
They conquered or vassalized much of what is now Bulgaria and parts of Romania and European Turkey.
At the mouth of the Danube the Ionian fleet built another pontoon bridge. Darius crossed into Scythian territory (modern Romania/Ukraine steppes) and ordered the bridge dismantled or guarded — some accounts say he wanted to burn his boats and commit fully.The Scythians, led by King Idanthyrsus, refused to fight a conventional battle.
Darius chased them for weeks (possibly a month or two), advancing as far as the Volga River area.
