Especially since they are the reason the Iranian people are in this mess to begin with. They created the situation under Carter.

Is Trump going to explain why we’re doing this, objectives, etc tonight during SOTU?
So you're not boycotting it like your comrades in arms are?

The F-22's are not leaving with a Strike or bomb payload on the undercarriage and wings.
F22's don't carry munitions under their wings since they are stealth designs payloads are kept internally otherwise no stealth. Same for the F35's.

Talk about a weather change. One winter when I was in Misawa we got 252 inches of snow.

He’s wrong for several things on that post. That’s the biggest.

This guy is an interesting Twitter follow. He is based in Scotland but has been tracking US air assets using ADS-B info as well as observers near the various air bases.
This particular tweet yesterday was showing where major US airpower was stationed in relation to Iran.

Nope. Send in the SPAD XIIIs of the 94th Aero Squadron - the "Hat in the Ring" folks. Your Camels are too slow and easily tracked, just like camel toes.
The SPADs can reach 130mph at sea level but a bit less when toting a 75 lb bomb. Iran would never expect it - total tactical surprise achieved.

I still have my OPC medal. We were in port Rhodes when that popped off. Had to pull out early to respond. But we did go back, Rhodes was an awesome liberty port.

Ukraine has that same problem. You could have easily said if putting bullets on target is all that is needed, Ukraine would have won the war already.
Not at the start of war they did not. At the start of the war Ukraine had around 200,000 professional troops in its army. A large portion of them had seen combat on the Donbas front over the previous 8 years and had been receiving training from US and NATO special forces. Ukraine at least knew it had to have its infantry deployed to defend its tanks and APCs from ATGMs. Why do you think they lost so few tanks in their 2022 counteroffensives in the Kherson and Kharkiv oblasts?

I don't see what russia AND ukraine (both soldiers AND leadership) failing to understand new methods of battle due to new technology and weaponry has to do with a firearm in the hands of Iranians.
Because unless some generals and other officers defect and join the protesters/rebels they are not going to have any military leaders to lead them. In which case being able to hit what they are shooting at will not matter because they will be not be fighting cohesively.

You are blaming conscription on what essentially boils down to a failure in leadership tactics which were still in beta phase as it applies to drone warfare.
Drones impact was limited during the initial invasion in Feb of 2022 and the subsequent battle of Kyiv which is the timeframe I am referring to.

Sorry you had to pull out early. Was the girl still there when you returned?

Never expected an attack to begin before the SOTU tonight, and it fits well with these meetings that were schedule last weekend for Thursday. That will be the final meeting I think this admin gives for Iran to make any real negotiations (they won’t).
My question is how long can Trump wage an attack on Iran prior to having to get Congressional approval to extend? A few months?
