Interesting if that's how it was done


Yep, can't wait to see the footage. Hopefully this morning at the press conference.

I'm not saying I believe this, but I already see a Kabuki theatre theory developing in alt media circles that goes something like this.
quote:

I hope I'm not wrong, but I feel like we've all just witnessed a highly staged and choreographed type of 'kabuki theatre', designed to appease the domestic audiences of each of the three involved parties in order to achieve de-escalation: 1. The Trump administration gave the Iranians warning they would soon bomb the three nuclear sites, giving them enough time to evacuate their staff and whatever equipment they could. That way the Americans can say to their own war hawks and sponsors that they've successfully done what was expected of them, at the same time not antagonizing the Iranians with more needless deaths, further destruction, and the potential for environmental catastrophe. Mission accomplished; 2. Netanyahu can tell his domestic audience that, as a result of his and the Americans actions, the Iranians have been devastatingly set back in their nuclear program. Therefore, the damage and destruction wrought upon Israel was worth it, and Netanyahu can claim to be a hero to his people; 3. The Iranians can claim the damage was minimal (which it likely was), and that they achieved successful retribution upon the Israelis. Therefore, all three parties will be able to de-escalate the conflict and tension from this point going any further. They have each tacitly given each other an off-ramp. Like I said, I hope I'm not wrong. We shall see...

I'm sure with all those MOPs any rock formation is fricked up and as unstable as anything. Any transport shafts, elevators, air shaft, is fricked up and gone. I don't believe any of that untouched crap, that place is wasted. Iran is constantly under earthquake activity from tectonic plates bumping against each other in this region. That place is kaput. Good luck trying to rebuild through all that fractured limestone.

That’s why there were 6 bombs. 2 for each entrance. The first bomb clears the first 200 feet, the second takes care of the next 200 feet.

I believe the first bomb entered and as explosion occurred then second bomb entered. I can’t help but think of that last top gun movie where they actually had such a situation

Yeah, even if the actual bunkers survived in some form, I don't think they are getting back in there anytime soon.

And I'd imagine Israel/US will be monitoring those areas and should they attempt to restart those, will quickly get hit again.

On June 19th and 20th there were 16 cargo trucks at the facility. There were no indications of nuclear radiation leaks after the bombing. Iran may have actually moved the nuclear material and/or any important machinery used

Very important question.

Something the pro-globalist faction keeps ignoring is that the people who reject globalism and intervention aren't focused on the act of bombing. The question is what happens now that we've started a "conflict". Is that conflict a war? Is this a "kinetic action" where Israel (which is the US, at this point, in terms of the conflict) wants regime change? If Israel is attacked by an Iranian proxy, what is the response? etc etc

It’s an interesting theory that does have some merit to it.

I listened to a Trump interview earlier this week where he talked about a situation where we had just hit Iran for something. He said that the leader from Iran called and said that they had to hit back to save face. He said that he understood and respected that. The Iranian leader told him where and when they were going to strike, and he also told him that no one would be harmed. When it happened, all of the missiles missed the base.

So, what you posted is NOT out of the realm of possibility. It does help de-escalate the conflict.

I do believe that his Administration purposefully left the Dems out of the planning. Those frickers hate America and would have sabotaged it.

I don't doubt this is possible.

They can run but they can't hide forever.
