Iran: the collapse

I really find your posts interesting when you post on topics where you have knowledge and expertise. Your posts on subjects where that is lacking are…well…lacking.

You wouldn’t use an aircraft carrier to protect shipping convoys. For ******** sake…the reason air craft carriers travel with an entire battle group is to…protect the aircraft carrier.

 

Yup.
The best way for the regime is to make the Israeli and the USA having to deplete their stocks, especially those strategically essential ones, to the point that the USA can't afford anymore support for Israel by restocking them.
And to make the economic costs so severe, any American candidate president can't get elected without putting breaks on what support is going to be supplied.

 

Wow...exaggerating much? This is anecdotal and you know it. No need to dumb this down

 

I forgot who it was, but iirc it wasnot the tanman.
But hey, don't you lot hang on the lips of these WH occupants, to hear whatever they say.
I was struck by that fact of the very words of Truman being quoted (of course I dunno if it was a mere coincidence or a deliberate one) and the ominous character of that.

 

I already realised that.

And yes, I have no clue about naval warfare.

 

Listening to madmen speak for long periods of time is a good way to go mad.

 

Give that man the Nobel Peace Prize for ending yet another war!

(Just ignore that he starts wars so that he can end them )

 

Chart of Iranian launched attacks:

 

So far 11 MQ-9 Reaper drones have been shot down. Early in the attacks I saw a video of a Reaper flying really low over Iran - less than 1000 feet for sure. Not sure why they are flying that low, but it puts them in range of various small, cheap, not radar guided weapons.

 

The fascism is ever fascistier!

 

CNN - The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse.

What I really appreciate about the current administration is how they never think things out. Just raging narcissistic idiots, the whole lot of them.

 

They would've had a plan, but they ran out of cocktail napkins after they finished with the replacement for the ACA.

 

We'll help Iranians if they "behave"

Make sense if the other side is running out of interceptors. Less missiles are needed to get through the defense and to sustain the same level of damage. They are using more powerful missiles now

 

The joy he takes in murder is Bibi/Putin-esque

It's nothing new, the difference is that he's not even trying to hid it like his predecessor and the mask is off for the rest of the world to see.

Sadly, my feeling is that what bothers most Americans is not "his actions" but the "unwillingness" to hide or competently justify them. In other words - he's making George W Bush look like a genius

 

I don’t think he was talking about the Sri Lanka/India attack. He was talking about the sinking of the Iranian Navy in Iranian ports. He was talking about forty or fifty ships when he made those comments, not the one training ship.
