@unusual_whales Normally when you want to start a fight that you want your friends to get involved with, you let them know in advance.. The US is stuck. They don't know how to get out and want Europe to bail them out.. then they will claim victory. The EASY part is over.. the hard part begins.

Hegseth: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."

@SamuelWhittem14 @PolymarketIntel There is.. to a point. when they stop receiving orders, they then take charge of their sectors. But they know who is in charge and have pre defined orders. If the US attacks Iranian plants, each commander has been ordered to respond in kind to pre determined targets.

@PolymarketIntel Validity factor…2. There is 0 Centralized Command and Control of Iranian Forces.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei: "If our infrastructure is attacked, we will react in kind. We will target similar infrastructure linked to the United States. This is not voluntary, it is self-defense. This is not the American people’s war."

@Cryptofructose @unusual_whales Transparency... you should look up the definition.. it sure as fuck doesn't include black sharpie.

@unusual_whales If accurate, that’s a major transparency move, but the real question is substance, not volume. Full release only matters if it meaningfully clarifies networks, accountability, and prior investigative gaps rather than just closing the file procedurally.

Todd Blanche: "The DOJ has now released all of the files with respect to the Epstein saga"

@theliamnissan There is no way he wrote that earlier truth post.

Correct. He is at the very least incapacitated. Other bad people in the administration are calling the shots. We need to clean house

@RajLuvsColorado @Eng_china5 AI.. in 1969.... the fuck?

@TormentedPengu @Eng_china5 Still doesn’t explain upwards fold, unless this is AI image

So you want to tell me that they managed to land on the moon 57 years ago and today they are just doing a trip around the moon to see if they can land???

@trumptrump4769 @DarthPutinKGB So why wouldn't you talk to Europe before starting a war "on their behalf"

@DarthPutinKGB Bombing Iran is literally defending European freeloading. Iran is Europe’s problem more than America. Their missiles can reach Europe already.

It's interesting that USA is using bases in Europe to bomb Iran. MAGA were told these existed to protect "European freeloaders", yet they are being used to project American power. She can't wait to see how USA does this when Europe isn't "freeloading" & closes US bases.

@reaperswap @ChaosAngelMUFC @AuroraIntel Like Reapers... and multiple jets.

@ChaosAngelMUFC @AuroraIntel We wouldn't fly little birds with no support 100s of KM. Thats just not how there used, and would risk having another downed pilot, one that cant eject.

Looks like two MH-6 were included in the event in Iran. Debris shows two main rotors, these can’t be refuelled midair and need to be stowed in an aircraft. If that aircraft isn’t going anywhere, neither are the little birds.

@Jody36874098128 @MoneyMitra2025 @unusual_whales It was 2 MC130s and 2 Little birds. I'm glad he got out. IRGC would have fucked him over.. but the war shouldn't even have started.. except Trump is run by Israel.

@TormentedPengu @MoneyMitra2025 @unusual_whales It cost 1 C-130 and one copter and all Americans returned home. The large force of Iran military and IRGC were ripped apart and litered the ground-satellite-internal Iran reports multi IRGC in hospitals. Yes, it’s a good way to get point across.Wait til you see today bot.

BREAKING: Trump says deal with Iran possible by Monday, Fox News reports

@TwilightZoneUSA @Osinttechnical The CSAR crew did sustain injuries.. or did you forget the 2 Blackhawks that were damaged and the crew wounded the day before?

@TormentedPengu @Osinttechnical Trump was referring to the CSAR crew, but you knew that. You just want to be a bitchy karen. Well, go to hell, Karen.

Trump confirms that the US rescued the wounded F-15E WSO after he evaded Iranian forces for over a day.

@Jody36874098128 @MoneyMitra2025 @unusual_whales Normal extraction don't cost 2 C130s and an AH6 and involve a massive amount of air cover bombing everything in 3 miles.

@MoneyMitra2025 @unusual_whales What tension? Normal extraction by special ops.

@MenopnyG @patriottakes @Americaonly9 Is that why on EASTER.. he wrote Praise be to Allah on his social post? EASTER!!! MFing EASTER!

@patriottakes @Americaonly9 Gee I wonder why, could it be Iran? you people with TDS just look for shit to whine about

Trump, who MAGA pastors claim was sent by God, is skipping church on Easter today according to his official White House schedule

@duck_crypt0 @MarketOpium @unusual_whales Only 1 country has ever been attacked in NATO and ALL of NATO sent Hundreds Thousands of troops to assist in the war. that country was the US. the US then lied about Iraq costing even more lives and money in a war. Now they lie about Iran.

@TormentedPengu @MarketOpium @unusual_whales So what’s the point of having forward basing if you can’t use them when the need arises? Trump is mostly angry with UK for not joining. And inability to use airspace and airbases the USA built. He never made any formal proposal to any other country or NATO to join.

Rubio: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement.

@duck_crypt0 @MarketOpium @unusual_whales You are literally basing bombers out of the UK for strikes. You claim it was to defend Europe, but didn't talk to the Europeans in any way. You now bitch that the EU needs to fix it. Whats the point of a defensive alliance if the US goes starting wars and demands you join?

@theliamnissan Like 220v vs 110v? OK? *grabs a fork*

@unusual_whales Yes and no. It helps when used as an assistant tool.. but it makes more work load when people need to fix it's mistakes when used as a dedicated system.

"AI isn't lightening workloads - it is making them more intense," per the WSJ Do you agree?

@duck_crypt0 @MarketOpium @unusual_whales You do have forward basing. When you aren't starting wars that are affecting the alliance without talking to the alliance. Now Trump is demanding they join the war that he started. You still base logistics in those countries.

@TormentedPengu @MarketOpium @unusual_whales So if US can’t use the forward basing What’s then the point of NATO to the USA?

@Zoe_1225h @unusual_whales NATO isn't global defence though.. never was.

@unusual_whales Rubio remarks directly addressed the asymmetry in NATO defense arrangements, reminding European allies of their responsibility within the global defense framework

@myentireself @unusual_whales Didn't Trump threaten its alliance members into giving up it's land.. just because?

@unusual_whales If alliances start feeling one-sided, they stop being alliances and start looking like transactions. The real question is whether NATO is still built on shared strategy—or just shifting national interests.

@MarketOpium @unusual_whales Forward basing allows the US to project power which helps secure the US dollar as the reserve currency thus strengthening it. NATO spends billions each year on US weapons.

@unusual_whales this is the part Europe hates hearing out loud: the US still has ~100k troops stationed across Europe, with Germany alone hosting around 35k. alliance starts looking less like "shared defense" and more like a very expensive Airbnb

@unusual_whales Really.. because the only time a NATO country was attacked.. Europe came to your defence. You started a war that affected the EU without talking to the EU and now demand the EU fixes it.
