"an Iranian strike on a base in Saudi Arabia damaged one of only 17 crucial US E-3 Sentry aircraft" LOL, WSJ - that thing is destroyed, blown in half, a 500 million $ dinosaur killed by drones costing thousands. This has been happening in Ukraine four years now, but the western military-industrial-political complex won't let go of their fat contracts for what now amount to nothing but big fat targets. The other day the CEO of Rheinmetall laughed at the idea of producing low-cost, low-profit drones and interceptors, and derided Ukraine's pioneering achievements.

"Raids of what? Raids of who?" The obvious answer is panty raids, bro.

I'm in favor of Trump trying to extract Iran's uranium, as long as he does it himself and uses no protective gear. Just send him in with a shovel.

Beelzebub Griddlecake's avatar

Nah. Send him in with a trowel.

How the fuck did it go to 65k troops?

Last week they were sending 1500...

Oh my!

Trump must have bought a coffin factory.

Pete will be personally baptizing all 65,000 troops in the Euphrates immediately after the military excursion/operation/fuckfest...

I'm guessing that's the overall total of US troops throughout western Asia. Most of whom have been there a long time.

Yeah, waste more of our tax dollars. Meanwhile, I just paid $47 for a HAM!

Gas was $6.35/gallon here last week. I'm sure everyone will be feeling super-duper patriotic in another week when it goes over $10/gallon.

I don't know who came up with the fantasy of "Special Ops" swooping in and grabbing Iran's stash of plutonium. Considering the fact we have no idea where it is, the plan is ridiculous. Any buildup of combat troops and equipment will be detected by Iran and bombed before we can even start. They knew exactly when our planes were on the tarmac in S.A., that wasn't a lucky strike.

The E-3 Sentry had its entire rear fuselage destroyed. The E-7 Wedgetail AWACS aircraft that the US was going to use as its replacement had been removed from consideration by the Trump administration back in 2025, although now it looks like completion of two aircraft will start up for planned delivery in 2028. Currently, the Wedgetail is being used by the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the air forces of Turkey and South Korea. Short term, the plan is to use Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft. These are a development of the veteran carrier based Hawkeyes.

The Iranian foriegn affairs minister (can't remember his name, but he's not Baghdad Bob, because we're playing that role this time) boasted that any American troops would be "good food for the sharks in the Persian Gulf." Sure wouldn't want to be a military recruiter right now!

Funny how all the big announcements are either 2 hours before the market opens or 1 hour right before it closes.

This entire year has been like being Wile E Coyote falling off a cliff in slow motion. Of Course, Of Course, OF COURSE, those poor guys are going into combat. As we say, in Crimson Tide and in the Infantry, you don’t put on a condom unless you are going to f***. Speaking of dry humping, gee, it’s nice to know that Venus and Vixen really care. Here I always thought they were just showing us a good time in return for enough money to make their car payment, because they were living in their cars. This is like that scene in To Hell And Back where the prostitute just talks to the naive shy young soldier. One, Two, Three…Awww!

Fayettenam NC has turned into a ghost town, yet again. Hayes Street is like the Streets of Laredo. The Landlords are stuck with their overpriced rental 1000 square foot cinder blocks sitting empty. One Two Three…Boo Hoo!!!

Every cloud must have a silver lining. Please God, let me be wrong. Let no one get hurt, especially the spouses and dependents that are being abandoned to go back home to Ohio and Mississippi. Right at the end of the God-Damn School Year! Bet, Bet, Bet, that the new school districts insist on up to date vaccination records. School Administrators are real anal retentive jerks when it comes to military families. A lost year for the kids, plus every night crying that dad might not come home. (And people wondered why my oldest committed suicide. This stuff messes up kids.)

I just hope that the POGs running things spend eternity watching the lives of all the children that they have permanently f***** up with their selfish decisions.

A pretty good summary of his remarks on AF1 last night during his gaggle:

\\https://heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/p/the-president-was-in-hiding

An excerpt:

He told the press that negotiations with Iran are going “extremely well,” that the relationship is strong, that progress is being made, and then in the very same breath said, “you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up,” effectively telling every diplomat working to bring Iran to the table and every foreign leader that the United States views diplomacy as a prelude to bombing. He said he would “probably” make a deal with Iran, that he was “pretty sure,” and then immediately added, “but it’s possible we won’t,” which is not a strategy and not a plan and not leadership but the verbal equivalent of a coin flip from the man who holds the lives of thousands of people in his hands and cannot commit to a single position for the length of a single sentence.

I feel like Neville Brand in Tora Tora Tora, with “There’s your confirmation!” to Oscar Goldman.

Hey John Bolton!! Yeah, you!! Now do you get why bombing Iran is a bad idea!! There’s your confirmation!!!

If he is relying on Drunk Petey and his Christian Soldiers, the US is screwed.

The only thing he's committed to is tackiness.

How many AWACs been destroyed in combat in all the other Admins? Zero.

How many lost under Wah Pig's? One.

Losing even one is like losing an aircraft carrier. The fucking Wah Pig Admin can destroy everything that Iran flies and they still won't balance the strategic/tactical loss of an AWACS caused by the stupidest fucking reasons (Epstein!)

Tattoo it onto their foreheads while they are sleeping!! I’ll settle for the dreaded red permanent marker on their foreheads while throat.

Word is Pedo47 is bored with Iran and is ready to move on to invading Cuba. Apparently, the splodey videos they show him on his iPad every morning aren’t doing it any more.

Too bad no one has told Iran that.

He has more plans for his ballroom than he has for Iran. And his plans for the ballroom suck.

Now it’s just a “shed” over some super secret important stuff.

JanuaryClaire's avatar

Unfortunately, for him, this isn't like stiffing a contractor or someone else who doesn't have the time/money/energy to go fight him in court. Can't just say "bored" and move on from war.
