If that is true, then that just shows that the US had no plan and Iran was ready from the start.

Posted on here 4 months ago. A US retreat from this conflict is as foreseeable as the sunrise.

The truth is we haven’t won a meaningful war since 1900 without a robust international alliance fighting with us and clear domestic mandate to fight. When we fight largely alone we typically lose. When we fight to depose a government and install a new one we usually lose. When we embargo and isolate a regime we usually embolden its extemism. And here we are contemplating a war we would fight without meaningful allies, with a weak domestic mandate, with the ultimate goal of regime change.

Which part is bullshite? The part where Iran inflicted heavy damage on the US naval base in Bahrain?

Maybe the fact we basically abandoned that before the war knowing we couldn't protect it. It is in the Persian Gulf, the ships are in the Gulf of Oman, no way we would rely on supply which has to traverse the Strait of Hormuz.

Is this true?


Most likely not a plane currently deployed to the ME. Look at the condition of the plane. Looks to be in rough shape and is most likely a parts unit from a boneyard.

This appears to be a KC-135 w/ the over-wing exit open. The main gear bogie has two axles. KC-135s can’t land on carriers.

The flaps aren’t usually left down after landing unless there was some reason to do so. Something else is going on here…

It’s also sitting on concrete. Carriers don’t have concrete decks. Others have suggested this is likely in a “boneyard” and is being stripped for parts by civilian workers, judging by the condition of the concrete & jet, meaning some rando probably put “Graveyard Graffiti” on it.

Propaganda doesn’t have to be good, you just need an audience that doesn’t know any better.

So what had no bearing on if sailors could get their hot pockets. If planes can get gas sailors can get hot pockets.

Pretty big outflow of US Military hardware from the Middle East. I think we might be picking up our ball and going home…


Like Biden bugged out in Afghanistan. Pull up stakes in the middle of the night.

What a disaster this “Special Military Operation” has become. Trump accelerated the fall of the US empire by getting involved in this unnecessary conflict.


Do y’all believe me yet? Trump has accelerated the decline of our empire and has gave a clear path to Chinese dominance over our world. Trump will be the reason why China takes over the US’s spot as most powerful/influential country in this world.

I can see them trying to strike us again and striking first because the MOU is officially dead. They need money and they need to cause damage to us for looks.

Wing flaps down while parked, exit door looks completely removed, and flaps look in pretty rough shape. Plus when this image was first released it was claimed it was on a carrier. I'm thinking this plane is probably sitting in a boneyard somewhere and some civilian contractors wrote these.

Is it his fault his predecessor made a withdrawal agreement, with the fricking taliban?
