Not sure you understand the dynamic there.


Don’t think he understands that 10% of Iran controls the other 90% via force/arrests/murders.

The 90% would love to get weapons to defend against the regime…..

and shoot down any plane or sink and ship trying to enter Iran.....
Correct.

Russia is bogged down with all they can handle right now in ukraine. all they can do is share intel. and hope the iran can hurt the US without any of their military hardware, as they cant spare any

China tried to help by sending their "stealth detecting Radar" systems, but they are now all blown up. china has no means to force a show of power outside Taiwan. Middle east is too far, and they are not flying in more "tech" as its now a war zone in which US/Israel own the skies

At this point, both Russia and China can only help with intel and hope to gain tech/tactics from observing what plays out

Both Russia/China will try to play "mediators" to try to end this earliy and keep the regime in power.
Russian military is kinda preoccupied with their Special Military operation in Ukraine.......
"Free" governmental provided health care and just look at his teeth.....

Have foreign fighters prove how little sovereignty you have over your territory or come out from hiding and get blown up.


and the threat of kurds crossing the border could be a PsyOp to get the Iranians looking everywhere

Engineers make me laugh with their fancy degrees and big words. They couldn’t get their hands dirty, drink and drive after work, or have to pay child support like I do.


i'm and engineer and done all of that )was a plumber/pipefitter for 11 years while getting my degree)....except my ex-wife had to pay me child support and i had full custody.
The UK needs the 80s version of Thatcher to enter politics and tale back control. the reagan/Thatcher duo made the 1-2 punch that led to the end of the USSR.

there are still alot of conservative Brits out there, but witht he mass immigration and suppression of free speech they stand no chance.....

Looks like everyone wants to cooperate. Actually getting with the program.



amazing what a show of power does to bring everyone in line.....


you are either part of the solution or part of the problem,,,,, when you have the threat of a strength behind you and have shown a wiliness to use said force, its amazing how many run t the "part of the solution" side of the equation.....

These “bases” were mostly unmanned prior to the start of strikes. The Military and WH leadership has opted to not defend them they are strategically irreverent to the mission at the moment. The bases and assets deemed important are being defended.

Resources and bases can be rebuilt. Live lost are lost forever.

And if after this is all over and we have a stable Iran we won’t need all these bases anyways.

I know everyone wants a perfect game, but you give up a hit and a possible solo homerun…..but still win in a blowout.

He is kind of late to the dance..... read the tea leaves wrong when this started.......
as good as the Israeli air force, with the US running point in clearing the way they can focus more sorties on bombing then trying to get air superiority......
Guess you missed the part where the US statement to the people of Iran was to Remain indoors and wait till the time to go to the streets was announced.
France Spain and UK have a lot of Muslim population now……
