So they're saying we need to ramp up attacks?


They’re saying you, and every other American who supports this campaign is fricking retarded, which is very hard to argue

Secret new assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz
You really do have to hand it to these treasonous SOBs. They do know how to twist a phrase to turn chickenshit into chicken salad.

"Secret" ( ) assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz. So they've cleared enough rubble from the road to enable them to get to their bombed sites.

Pop the corks baby!
Joe Kent's got himself a story!

I am not going to get too wrapped up in this "intel" report. The way it is phrased, Iran may only have 10 missile sights left out of thousands and they control 9 of them.. that's 90%.

What they aren't telling you is how many missile sights are we talking about.

This is actually kind of scary. Trump has convinced a decent portion of his base that any bad news is fake. So, there is almost no way to hold the administration accountable if they are botching anything or wrong about anything. It will just be spun as someone with an agenda trying to undermine a successful operation.

I think the outcome of an invasion of Iran will be better, largely because the population (primarily Persian) is more capable of hosting a thriving society.



People believe this, but there is still a significant power base in the country which aligns with the clerics and a more significant power base which aligns with the IRGC. Even still, there is a significant Shia power base outside of Iran itself which sees Iran as the leader of the Shia world, and Iran has tapped into that extraterritorial power base within very recent memory.

While the recent protests might drive this view, one has to think only as to how the regime was able to put down the protests relatively easily to figure out that their power base is larger than we assume.

Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites


Yeah, ok...

You want to tell me we dropped over 3k bombs on Iran and didn't take out nearly all of their 33 missle sites that we obviosly know about according to this report?

Sure Jan

All of that is true, and there is certainly not a magic bullet here - but we're starting at a much higher outcome projection than in Afghanistan.

We live in a post-truth world. You literally flood the zone with shite and there is no objective truth.

Some people even think boys can be girls and vice versa!

Funny, they sure don't seem to be using them to respond to attacks from UAE, SA, and the US?

If they have all of this capability, it seems they would be putting it to use.


Their winning strategy is shutting down the SOH, so why waste the military capability when invasion is still on the menu?

Sounds like we need to stack some more bodies then!
