I remember being a kid and hearing "Iran is weeks away from a nuke!", fast forward to when I served, we also heard the same thing, and nothing fucking happened. They've been saying this as long as I've been alive.

Hegseth: My son... asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. I looked at him and said, 'They died for you, son. So your generation doesn't have to deal with a nuclear Iran.'

Forever wars but with minimal casualties
Just Loki@LokiJulianus
Unpopular opinion: if Trump can get gas prices down & keep casualties minimal, he can continue this war indefinitely. Americans are used to “background violence.” I would prefer a decisive resolution obviously, but he has plenty of runway.

این ویدیو با شرح 'مواجه شدن با اجساد چند نفر که پی خلبان آمریکایی بودند' داره پخش میشه. چیز خاصی در اون دیده نمیشه و نمیدونم درسته یا نه. به نظر میرسه که از روی سلاح اینطور برداشت کردند که اجساد متعلق به افرادی نظامی هستند و میگن لباس شخصی هستند. یکشنبه ۱۶ فروردین #Iran

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Air Force Just Suffered Its Worst Day in Decades
On 3 April, Iranian Air Defense shot down 2x US Air Force aircraft: 1x F-15E Strike Eagle and 1x A-10 Warthog. That same day, two Black Hawk helicopters and a F-16CJ were also possibly downed due to hostile fire. As we speak, a rescue mission is taking place to recover the 2nd crewmember of the F-15 that shot down over Iran.

Ironically it seems like the only aircraft involved in this operation that didn't get hit was the C-130 lol
This whole operation was like something out of Vietnam. Strike jet downed, Iranian troops converging, high-risk rescue mission, more losses... bad day for the Air Force.

BREAKING: Four U.S. aircraft reported either shot down or damaged over Iran today: 1 F15, 1 A10, 2x Blackhawks This, after SecWar Hegseth & Chairman of Joint Chiefs Gen. Caine continue to tell America all of Iranian air defenses have been obliterated. Self-evidently that was untrue. The Intercept has revealed in the last 24hrs that Pentagon officials have also been hiding actual U.S. military casualty numbers. Why is the White House and Pentagon so opaque with the American people on the truth of this war? The justification for launching this war of choice was also an absolute lie - the alleged "imminent threat" of a nuclear Iran, even after the same Admin claimed their ability had been "obliterated" last year. Further, they lied to us by claiming the Iranian regime was "as weak as it has been in 47 years" prior to the war, implying that all we needed was a hard push and they'd collapse. That obviously didn't happen either, and now here we are, with a rising casualty count, increasing numbers of combat losses - now into the many billions of dollars - and the allegedly weak Iranian government and military firmly in control of the Strait of Hormuz. We have no military means to force it open, and we've forfeited the option of negotiations, because we twice lied to Iran about good-faith diplomacy, only to reveal that we used it as cover to launch military ops. This is the bitter fruit of fraud and arrogance. I fear we've yet to find out how deep the cost will be before this war finally comes to an end.

@ArmchairW Having a 94%-96% interception rate against high IQ Iranian hypersonics and drones doesnt sound like the US is coping. We're sucking it up compared to the losses that the Islamic regime in Iran has suffered.
English
First serious air threat we've dealt with since World War Two, and we're not coping well... at least in the operational sense, plenty of people are coping online.

‼️This purports to be from the past 48 hours, an air base in Kuwait. Iranian drones are traversing considerable distances to strike a CH-47 helicopter right on the nose. It is astounding. The US military has never previously been subjected to this manner of firepower.

Russia is fighting people selling vegetables and sausages 🤬
This morning, a drone struck a market in Nikopol, Dnipro region.
Five people were killed, 23 injured.

Remember the Western outrage about hostilities near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine?
Israel-U.S. have bombed our Bushehr plant four times now. Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran.
Attacks on our petrochemicals also convey real objectives.

Where did this idea come from that the US army is largely staffed with the unwashed hordes of black and browns.
The largest group of recruits are literally the “honkeys” fucking moron

@littlebrotha123 @KenGardner11 There's nothing precious about selling expensive mercenary work with cheap chinese made drones. It would be cheaper for them to buy American or European drones than to buy missiles for Ukraine. Which is exactly what there gonna do.

@Common_Mine @KenGardner11 are you brain dead? of course ukraine would get compensated what tf do you think this is? what fucking country just gives precious reaources away?

@SpamAcc93775191 @KenGardner11 The problem is that hes basically selling mercenary work because he
banned exports of ukr drones to other countries and all of their "cheap" drones are made with Chinese parts so hes selling an expensive mercenary proposal that these countries just end buying US drones
English
@Common_Mine @KenGardner11 Pretty fair deal. They don't have to commit their own troops to fight if that's been a hangup for any countries. And they get seasoned veterans.

@LauraLoomer So this was never about liberating the Iranians instead this was another Indian powerswap, cant wait for the deleted tweets

If we really want to be taken seriously when we talk about sending Iran “back to the stone ages” then this is what needs to happen.
The US needs to bomb Iran’s:
Power & water infrastructure
Bank and financial institutions
Production/storage facilities for fertilizer and pesticides
Every single Islamist/regime “cultural heritage” sites, including every single mosque
Natural gas and oil pipelines
Kharg Island
Civil logistics hubs
Courthouses and jails
All of these need to be hit.
We need to deprive Iran of all the niceties of a moderne day society, and we need to do so now.
And then we need to make the people beg on their knees for humanitarian food assistance from the international Red Cross so that the people force Iran to surrender to the US.
This is how you WIN wars. Cutis LeMay understood this very well.
It’s time to carpet bomb Iran.
Force them to their knees.
Destroy the infrastructure. It’s the only way.
