you guys want the poor ballistic missile mechanics to go hungry, who are they going to sell the bombs to if we have peace?

Some of yall just dont spare 1 thought to the economy when you post and it shows.

For my part ever since Trump got elected Ive been buying enough socks to wear a BRAND NEW PAIR every day baby. Do I donate them when Im done? no that encourages handouts, bad for the economy, I have hired a Vietnamese "labor force" in Phuoc Dong that I have worked out a deal with where I ship the slightly used socks over on a Chinese built bulk carrier flagged out of Panama that has an all Sri Lankan crew, where they then get turned from socks back into raw fibers then moved to a factory next door where they are remade into fake Yeezys after which they are put back onto a bulk carrier, this time a Dutch built one flagged out of French Guinea with a Lebanese crew shipped back to the United States where its promptly stolen at the docks.

I see it kinda like recycling, its a civic duty.

Waiting for a pdf of the ruling but this is nice, I hate how SCOTUSblog drags its feet when rulings favoring Trump happen:

It's also Clarence Thomas' aka Joyboy's birthday today!

Trump has won so hard in the past 24 hours that I feel Fatpacks needs to upgrade to a double-cheeseburger.

don't get me wrong, I'm very glad we've seemed to have avoided WW3 or GWOT2 Electric Boogaloo, but let's be honest, we probably just hit a few empty bases and whatever nuclear material Iran has (as well as their technology) was moved off site thanks to our forewarning, and Iran just shot a few missiles into the desert not hitting anything in response.

What was even the point of this gay little charade?

Yeah I don't think that's going to happen. Iran is winning and there's no reason for them to stop.

 

[Turkey Beef]

That's pretty silly but what does this have to do with America? And why are you so angry? They're just a bunch of little roadkill crosses. Its performance art.

Get some reading comprehension before pestering others with your centrist signaling. The first quoted part literally delineates "Kentucky-based artist," and the entire article makes it clear it's a whole thing is constructed by Americans, with a few Euros butting in after the fact.

Does anybody else think that recent Iranian propaganda poster looks A.I. generated? Everybody knows the Statue of Liberty isn't made from concrete.
edit: wrong thread

100%, the composition has that feel to it.

e: just to be sure I ran it through a AI image check.

What was even the point of this gay little charade?

After writing and deleting a 7D chess move involving appeasing different MAGA factions that was fucking ridiculous when I read it back, this is what I got:

I think Trump had to follow through on an attack lest people think he's bluffing when he makes threats and Israel forced his hand when they turbo accelerated. If they're actually trying to pull back now it's because they over extended expecting Trump to go harder than what he did. If Trump goes forward with actual regime change nonsense, then Netanyahu has him by the balls, but if he only pays lips service that's all it was. Trump being forced to use his big stick by Israel.

Either way, it fucking sucks because even in the best case scenario in my head, Trump HAS to pay attention to Israel which distracts from the domestic issues we need to handle right now, i.e. radical tax reform, deregulation, deporting the 3rd world back to the 3rd world, and maybe enacting jihad on the cartels that control Mexcio.

Centrist? Bitch, please. Its called radical centrism and a key tenet of it is avoiding reading. There's still no need to get mad over little signs on the side of the road. You are still free to run down however many turtles you like.

Trump thanks Iran for the advance warning.

We warned them, they warned us. It was all a show, kids.

I love how he says “thank you for your attention to this matter” like his tweets are official presidential memos…

…They’re not, right?

Haha I love Thucydides, but he is definitely the "read another book" for military historians. For millennia now too!

These were the safest places in Iran to locate the centrifuges. If they were removed from those locations, they will eventually be destroyed at some other location.

Destroying the actual Uranium was always going to be utterly impossible. Whatever Iran already has, they have and nothing really would change that. The best that could be done is to damage their most secure facilities as much as possible and to potentially have damaged their existing centrifuges.

How much damage has been to the facilities. Truth is, nobody who knows that is talking to the public. But there are alot of people out there who will claim that they know everything.

From the released satellite photos, it's pretty obvious the facilities are effectively untouched.

We collapsed the top of the entrance tunnels with Tomahawks (presumably), which can be dug out again in a few weeks. Probably broke some windows on the main building, but no real structural damage.

Even the bunker busters (MOPs) weren't dropped to maximize penetration, but just clustered together to throw up a lot of soil. They can't penetrate much more than maybe 60 feet of rock, and the main bunker complex is at least 250 feet deep, likely more. Even if you dropped all 6 in the same exact crater (impossible given their accuracy) you'd still just barely penetrate to the complex.

And Trump seems to have intentionally waited for the Iranians to finished moving out all their equipment Thursday and Friday, before the B-2s even got authorized to take-off at Whiteman.

(I know it's Aljazeera but they have the best quality photo, ABC's is very grainy)

Most likely they'll just dig out the tunnels and move the equipment back in next month.
