    It sounds like the United States has significantly upgraded its electronic warfare capabilities. Iranians said they experienced full spectrum jamming of radios, GPS, and cell, all were heavily degraded during the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites

    If Sun Tzu were in charge the fourth site would have been the Ayatollah's residence. Or W or Rumsfeld or Hillary or...at least in Iraq we targeted Saddam.

    Iraq we spent months moving men and equipment into place first.

    This comes down to whether everyone else is cool with us doing some b2 practice runs over Iran, we won’t get another chance like this.

    “No new wars”
    “We cannot afford to help Ukraine because we have struggling poor folks at home”
    More MAGA bullshit.

    Remember in Apr 1988 we sank the Ayatollahs navy in 8 hours. Then we stopped. No invasions or occupations. And the Iranians stopped mining the Gulf. Unbunch your panties. Nobody is invading Iran. They might get bombed more but that is up to them. Their IADS and air force are already neutralized, as is half of the their long range ballistic missiles. They can try mines, small boats, drones, SRBMs, cruise missiles, and subs. If they do, it will be a spectacularly short fireworks show because they have no air defense. Or they can agree to a ceasefire.

    I bet the jamming was to keep the Chinese from seeing. They moved spy ships into the area.

    Now, let's tell Putin that the time has come for his troops to leave Ukraine or we'll declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine and fully supply them. </wishfulthinking I know Putin owns Trump>

    A few days ago an Iranian official told Reuters: “If it’s a choice between halting uranium enrichment and going to war — we choose war.”

    50 yrs putting up with their shit. Anyone who thought we’d miss a chance like this, and I mean open skies, and clearly some good diplomacy in the region, is crazy.

    Not positive, but we’re not hitting ports, critical infrastructure. We not invading anything. But, without regime change these fuckers may just keep lighting off rockets, unless we get somekind no fly zone.

    I’m sure more superior statesmanship, or another good Mossad trick or two, and this shall pass.

    I was feeling pretty optimistic about the limited nature until I read that. Feels like last week Wall Street "defeated volatility."

    If the wounded snake still has its head it might decide that now is the time to put the uranium to use however they can.

    When cono thinks it's over history teaches us to be skeptical. Well, most of us.

    Trust me. I’m not saying a small town or two could not fall to Islamic sleeper cells, say a rural one. But if they did, I think most would agree, Trump would stick a MOAB in their childhood home.

    Why fuck around with drones?

    As a whole? Most definitely not. However, there are individuals tgat would love to usher in the apocalypse foretold in the Christian Bible. They see it as an instruction manual, not a prediction. I do see those individuals as equally batshit insane. Fortunately they are a small minority cult and do not have anywhere near complete control of our country. So far.

    50 years to the day

    Wonder if Iran was dumb enough to still have their stockpiles of eighty % + enriched Uranium at their official sites. This strike was telegraphed. If they didn’t, have these strikes been sufficient to delay the building of a bomb and by how long?

    I have no doubt those people exist, but they are not the dominant force making that theology national primary policy.

    Anyway, I hope the B2 crews got to write some fun messages on the MOPs as they avenged the over 1000 Americans killed and maimed by Iranian Qods EFPs.

    In terms of brass tacks diplomacy, Iran could say "fuck your demands we are continuing our nuclear and BM programs" up until force took them both away. Now there is a reset for diplomacy. Negotiations can start with the dominance of force applied to overcome the intransigence of the past. Make a peace deal or get your weapons blown up again.

    To peace! (assuming the MOPs eliminated their targets instead of temporarily neutralizing them)

    &quot;...Guys we have all seen the news and it looks bad. Corporate needs to know how much uranium hexaflouride you can each take home and store below 57c until this temporary crisis passes...&quot;

    This was all Biden’s fault! He and Kamalalalala are both Warhawk presidents and we’re in endless wars because of them and Obama

    Sounds like some of the strikes on Isfahanz were aimed at destroying the HEU stockpiles.

    As far as repositioning, every bird in the sky and on orbit was tasked with watching those sites for repositioning the uranium, plus the HUMINT.

    It sounds like as many as 14 MOPs and 30 TLAMs went into the strike.

    Gotta wait for the BDA, plus IAEA will have information

    Tough sledding ahead for rocketmen named Kim.

    Not the play I would have made, but no doubt Israel cleared the path to a juicy target. The recent G7 statement seemed like tacit consent for dirty work (everybody saw the bombers and tankers moving that way). Surely no one in the region minds much that Iran is slowed a bit in their bomb quest. China probably won't complain too much so long as their oil flows. Putin might blyat a little, but playing the power card is his preferred rules. Maybe Agent Orange will play again and is interested in my West Alaska annexation idea (Siberia). Trump's Icebox? Help his buddy Vlad close a real estate deal.

    Probably the blowback will be small but always hard to guess on that. 0.01% greater chance of father-daughter dances for the next decade is my guess. AKA slight positive.

    So glad we’re sucking our intel straight from Bibi’s dick these days - I was afraid my kids would grow up in a time when we weren’t at war.

    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
