I'm on team America you retard. What do you have to gain from sucking jew cock? They consider you a slave and they have all the same pedo religious views as muslims. You hate arabs but have no problem with jews importing them to your country?
Here's israels security minister celebrating Europe being overrun by muslims. They really are your greatest alley.

in 2025 the US military budget spent 168 Billion on Procurement alone, spending on weapons, ammunition, equipment etc.

So even in that field, that 5 billion price tag is just under 3%

Iran is a huge country, but here is something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. In cities like Zanjan there temperature is between -6 C and -1 C and is currently snowing.

Not having proper energy infrastructure in such an environment would be a problem.

Sure, but striking such targets would be counterproductive for what the US plans long term. They want the Iranian population to be on their side, hoping that when the regime is weak enough, the people take back their country. Making it shitty for the civilians, is not in their interests, and of dubious value anyway because we are talking about muslim fanatics in the leadership. They are not going to surrender. Obviously someone might think that hitting the civilian infrastructure will get those civilians to be pissed at their regime, but that's a gamble, and can easily have the opposite effect.
 
Asadollah Badfar, the Basij general on the Iranian armed forces' general staff, has reportedly been killed. He might actually have died in one of the earlier US/Israeli strikes and we only know now, because his funeral was held yesterday.

Big explosion in Bonab, NW Iran (pop'n 85k).



Yet another IRGC base in Khorramabad got bombed to rubble.

Netanyahu: we've broken Iran's bones and there's more still to come, ultimate objective remains getting the Iranian people to topple the mullahs.



Old clip I found of Trump talking about how he would've buckbroken Iran over the hostage crisis back in 1980.

Let me explain in repeated cope posts how losing a 1 billion dollar radar platform is a catastrophe v

It's obviously not going to cripple the US, but the loss is still going to be felt, if not in terms of the money lost, then certainly in the time it will be needed to build a new one.

That being said, if the US loses just a few F-15s, a dozen soldiers and a radar, and comes out of this with Iran under the control of a new regime, or permanently damaged for the next century, it will be worth the investment for them.

You got a sauce for that? Cuz that's pretty clearly "shit that didn't happen" story spinning from cases of mistaken target ID.

It's from french ace Pierre clostermann's book, the big show, he complained it a lot about USAAF pilots, probably because he was nearly shot down by one thinking his spitfire was a fw-190 in 43.


There's also a lot of gun camera footage of dangerous horse carts being destroyed in mid 1945.

In his 1986 memoirs, Yeager recalled with disgust that “atrocities were committed by both sides”, and said he went on a mission with orders from the Eighth Air Force to “strafe anything that moved.” During the mission briefing, he whispered to Major Donald H. Bochkay, “If we are going to do things like this, we sure as hell better make sure we are on the winning side.” Yeager said, “I’m certainly not proud of that particular strafing mission against civilians. But it is there, on the record and in my memory.”

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill added $156 billion in additional spending over the regular military defense budget. This includes $24 billion for guided munitions, drones, and missiles, as well as $29 billion for shipbuilding, $24 billion for missile defense systems, and several billion for drone infrastructure and at least $1 billion for Ukraine-style kamikaze drones.

Total military missile procurement budget for 2026 is around $13 billion currently, I believe. I could only find the Army budget, $8 billion by itself:
MissileProcurementArmy.pdf

From what I can tell, most of that $8 billion is part of the regular discretionary military spending, not the $156 billion above.

I know, it would be a huge overreaction, but I find it interesting because whenever anything of Russia's in the Uke war has ended up crashing accidentally in Poland or whatever all the NAFOs are screaming for total vodkanigger death and how it cannot be tolerated, article 5 should be considered etc. Fighting Russia would be a much harder undertaking than joining in the gangrape of Iran so what gives?

probably because Iran is currently being bombed to shit right now and they basically cannot militarily retaliate anymore aside from sending a dozen missiles/drones daily, they are basically non-threat at this point, while some people are fantasizing using article 5 to push Russia out of Ukraine.

also stop crying about Russia in the Iran war thread, its fucking pathetic.

Venezuela's retarded socialists did not invest and even siphoned off PDVSA (venezuelan oil government company)'s maintenance budget, you have equipment with 30 years of no maintenance, plus all technical staff either severely demoralized due to lack of salaries, fired and living abroad in exile, or jailed because I assure, you being competent and honest in a Latin America plutocracy as a member of one is one of the worst things you can do to your job and personal security.

They have decades and billions of dollars needed now to fix it, they can't just dump billions overnight and fix the problem
Even if you fix their oil wells, there's the problem of shipping, their oil and gas transport infrastructure is in a even worse state.
