From complaining the troops are eating steak and lobster to complaining they aren't getting enough. Make up your mind or is just OMB regardless of the facts.
There were large Spanish Colonial settlements in New Iberia, Ascension Parish, and St. Bernard Parish during the Spanish Colonial period. After Louisiana was sold to the US many moved to Baton Rouge which was still Spanish at that time. If you have ancestry that was in these areas in the early 1800s, you likely have Spanish and/or Canary Island ancestry.

I believe there are people posting on this site who are receiving stipend from. Iran through intermediary. There is also significant influence in social media paid by Iran.

Anyone peddling Iranian propaganda for money should be prosecuted for treason. In the modern age it is as significant as direct military aide.

Does Trump get another 60-90 days and then does the war power act affect a naval blockade vs bombing?


Since the IRGC is a named terrorist group there are previous authorizations. Obama used them for Libya and we have had "boots on the ground" in Syria for 15 years without any War Powers authorizations. The Democrats and msm will scream, but that will happen regardless. Funding will get through somehow.

This is why there will be heavy propaganda about any ceasefire deal. The regime leaders have to look strong or risk fracturing.

There are underwater antimine drones that lcs destroyers can deploy.

I don't know if invoking international law to them is going to be a persuasive argument.


Once mines are cleared, there will be a path on the Omani side. They don't have any mine layers left. If countries would escort their ships, they have air defense systems for missiles and drones. Iran's capabilities are greatly degraded. Don't believe the Iranian propaganda. That is more about trying to convince their own supporters to not give up on them.

I don't think they could stop a destroyer even if they tried. They don't really want us to start attacking again yet.

You have to have registered by 26 to work for the federal government or many federal contractors. People have lost jobs because they "forgot" to register.

I think the selective service registry should be shut down since a draft in very unlikely. They could just pull the data from social security if we ever needed it.
If there is an actual split between the parliament and the IRGC, there is a good chance we can get the regular army to attack the IRGC and defeat them with our strikes.
quote:

The amount of people who believe every single thing that fricking Iran says is both mind blowing and also somewhat expected.


Some of the Iranian propaganda people on this site repeated as true:

Thousands of US troops killed.

USN Lincoln incapacitated by drones

Trump rushed to Walter Reed due to Medical Emergency

US Airman Captured

F15 shot down by new antiairdefense system

All US bases in Persian Gulf region destroyed

Multiple reports of US planes shot down or commandos captured inside Iran

And many more.

These posters are either inflicted with TDS or are Russian/Chinese bots.

So, um, what did we get out of this?


Killed a large portion of the regime and nuclear scientist. Destroyed nuclear labs, missile factories, steel factories, drone factories, and more than half of the launchers. Sunk 90% of the Iranian navy.

Only real bargaining chip Iran had was threatening ships in the strait and the agreed to stop as long as we stop bombing. 2 weeks is enough to clear the backlog of ships. If they close it again, Trump can declare a new action and get 60 more days.

We didn't agree to the Iranian terms. We only agreed to stop bombing if they open the strait, then we meet.

Bridges and power plants have been legitimate targets in every past conflict. The military uses them for command and movement.

Yes. For life threatening stuff they stabilize and transfer patients to Bluebonnet. It is basically a glorified urgent care but they have x-ray and CT. Brought kids 3 times and went straight in. We're we're in and out under 2 hours each time stitches once and 2 x-rays.
OLOL has more severe trauma resources and is bigger, but you will get med students coming in and poking at you in the ICU.

If not serious, like a cut that needs stitches or potential broken bone the General Mid-City is usually fastest.

this a war crime? I thought going after civilian targets was a war crime? Am I wrong here?


Only the US and Israel can commit war crimes. It is like only white people can be racist.
