If the reports of multiple successful strikes are true (5th fleet again?) across multiple countries we are definitely running low on interceptors


If only countless veterans and military analysts had been warning about this for years...

So how do you feel about the paratroopers and marine landings now, dumbass.


Why are you responding to yourself and calling yourself a dumbass?

Not that you’re wrong about that.

They’ve been without much internet for what, like a month?

Many report that now they can watch international news channels (such as Iran International).

Sure. Sure. Maybe that’s where the women are going first.

Trump needs to make up his damn mind and decide if we’re going to truly go all in with this or keep dancing around the bushes.

Either go all in and deploy 500,000-1,000,000+ troops into mainland Iran with heavy air support or pull out of the war altogether. Each choice obviously has their own list of consequences, and clearly the latter would be more desirable, but he’s gonna have to decide soon.

Short of a draft, there's no way the US can muster that number of troops for Iran.

Chill

Let the X factor of the Iranian people play out after they’re given the go ahead to take to the streets and see what happens. Plus the immortal guard is still putting in work in the meantime.

BREAKING: According to this satellite image taken by Landsat 8/9, it appears that, in addition to the KC-135R Stratotankers of the U.S. Air Force, at least one or two E-3G Sentry AWACS has also been destroyed in the ballistic missile strike carried out by the IRGC Aerospace Force at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, on March 27, 2026.

In fact, it appears that, the primary target of the IRGCASF was the E-3Gs of the USAF parked there, not the KC-135Rs. However, they also managed to destroy several KC-135Rs.

What makes this even more personal for me is that I had previously met and photographed those E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft weeks before start of this war for my book on Op. Epic Fury.

Seems like an odd outcome for a total victory.


Agreed, but this is easy to prevent. We have left Iran’s oil infrastructure intact. We simply hold it hostage. If they start tolling we start incrementally destroying their oil infrastructure. They will give in on that. If they don’t we will have to invade them.

Yemen's Houthis confirm they have joined the Iran war.

In a statement, the Houthis' military leadership announced that it had carried out attacks on Israel and "Our operations will continue... until the aggression stops on all resistance fronts."

No one should be surprised by this.

Here’s the flaw I see:

1. You are describing an economic pain contest. In this situation, I think Iran can endure economic pain better than the US. In this situation the US is dealing with the pain of a prolonged global energy supply shock. Most people just want their stuff delivered on time and their flight to Chicago to not cost too much.

2. Invading Iran is not an option unless you want complete and total regime change in the United States.

You are right about the relative sensitivity to economic discomfort, but we are contemplating disastrous pain to Iran and slight discomfort to America.

Agreed. This would be the inevitable result if we were to lose the pain contest. We won’t.

If all that is true, then maybe all this is actually worth it. I've been skeptical on this fight with Iran. Hopefully, other countries will get more involved. What a pos country.

I don’t think Kuwait is our friend even though they say thy are. They shot don some of our jets in “friendly fire” and now sent locations of our troops for ambush
