Foreign Policy

[drayer54]

I wish Trump was in office. He would have never let this happen.

This might be even dumber than the Ben Rhodes tweet and airdropping the Iranians cash like a dumbass democrat. Just to be clear as to how completely insane you are- Biden let Iran raise money, fund terror, drive shipping out of the Red Sea, and support the Russian war effort with an Iranian spy ring in his administration. Trump has restored the Red Sea while watching non-US troops completely disable the Iranian ability to make a nuke and fund/drive terror in a show of dominance. And yet, we have complete fucking morons who default to their political aisle and disdain for Israel/Trump to assume that this is (something that makes the world a better and more peaceful place) is somehow a bad thing. It’s not even our pilots in harms way. Completely laughable take. Thanks.

Problem is that Iran is freaking afraid of Israeli retaliation so Iran has a history of retaliating against the US.

Hopeful with Trump, Iran will think twice.

Where are the war porn addicts on this one? Looks like an impressive military operation from early reports. Surgical and debilitating. We are seeing a massive shift in modern warfare in front of our eyes - I can't imagine the 65 year old generals can even comprehend half of it.

? Did you want videos of air strikes?

More interested in detailed breakdown of this whole attack that appears to be a masterclass in military planning and logistics. You (and others) admittedly find some incredible material out of Ukraine even if I find it susceptible to being tilted toward propaganda.

Same sources for Ukraine info are posting about the strikes.

When you don't have a legit Air Force, drones are the ticket:

Russia could learn about targeted strikes rather than just bomb whole apartment complex

I think that’s an incredibly reductive take on drone warfare. Israel unquestionably has the greatest airforce in the Middle East, yet a large portion of their attack last night was enabled by drone warfare.

I saw a post of half a dozen different apartment buildings each with the penthouse FUBAR like this in each one claiming it they were all part of the coordinated attack. Funny even with the heightened rhetoric of the last week they were hanging out in their penthouses like they had nothing to fear.

Iran striking back, Israeli air defense working

 

[calvegas04]

Not everything will be intercepted

Does the iron dome work better during the day? Feels like every time I see video of Iran retaliating it's at night.

I was just coming on here to post about the drones. Just had lunch with a state congressman that has been in Israel three times in the last month and spoke about setting up the drone base.


You hear them speaking Persian then all of a sudden you hear "Oh shit!". lol

This should open back up the debate about letting Chinese nationals and others buy land near critical infrastructure and military bases. It should also make the party the opened the border to anyone and everyone think about who is coming in and what they are doing. It would be easy to identify power plants, grid control centers, telecom hubs, pipeline hubs, etc. and setup a drone base near them in this country because we don’t control anything and refuse to set limits on hostile countries.

Saudi Arabia too, they have bought up a bunch of land too

 

[calvegas04]

Sounds like new waves of attacks are underway against Iran

More footage from earlier against Israel

Am I the only one here rooting for Iran? Their women are gorgeous! Well…their eyes are. I can’t really tell what the rest of them looks like.

I feel like Trump has actually handled this situation about as well as possible. His position is, officially, "please no war, please make a deal where you don't develop nuclear weapons, and I'd really hate for you to get what's coming if you don't."

And then Iran fucked around and found out.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer set of blokes. Their nuclear program got hit, along with one of their generals. FAFO indeed. Sounds like we helped shoot down Iran's retaliatory missiles aimed at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv too. Looks like we also shared intel with Israel as well, which angered Iran. Iran's attack came toward civilians it looks like, not aimed at military targets. That says a lot.

This was my first thought after reading about the secret base outside Tehran! Who knows what China has been able to install in the last 20 years as they've bought up our farmland, purchased companies, etc. EMP weapons or other attacks could already be in place here to knock out regions and cripple us.

Problem is that Iran is freaking afraid of Israeli retaliation so Iran has a history of retaliating against the US.

The real problem is that much of this is performative in terms of “destroying” Irans nuclear program if the US military was not directly involved. It has long been understood that Israel lacks the military capability to destroy the more hardened nuclear facilities in Iran.

Case in point, the US bombed the shit out of the Houthis and they are still managing to launch missiles at Israel.

Also, it would take troops on the ground to actually verify that those facilities had been destroyed and to secure them.

Israel lacks the capacity to mount a full scale ground invasion of Iran. I wonder who that task would fall to?

Some of this is discussed in the article below.

Israel Attacks Iran, Promising Full-Scale Military Operation

As nuclear talks falter, U.S. officials deny Washington was involved in the strikes.

They also want to develop nuclear capabilities.

What does it say?

Israel has been massacring civilians for almost two years.

Also a case of FAFO. Israel woke up that fight. Also, Israel is proving really effective at being precise in taking people out.

I’m glad we’re back to Israel being precise! Could have had me fooled the past couple of years. Unless, the guys with paragliders and RPGs in the streets have a better system than the guys with nukes!

I’m really shocked those nuclear army guys didn’t have their human shields with them. Glad they left them at the office when they went back to their apartments to sleep. Would have been crazy if they had the human shields in there, would have had the level the whole complex!
