@SpencerGuard Yes. They are. Victory isn't measured in how many people you kill, or even who you kill. The Soviet Union lost 10m more people in the Second World War than Germany. News flash--Germany did not win the Second World War.

Visualization of the elimination of Islamic Regime in Iran political and military [specifically the IRGC] leadership, command and control, will. Not decapitation, but rather systematic elimination.

I'm lazy and ignorant because I don't want to copy and paste every response I receive on twitter into Google Translate? Jesus Christ--not literally I am an atheist. You're obnoxious and have an over inflated sense of how important what you say on the internet is, and maybe your own knowledge and education.

@revthought @VividProwess So you are lazy in addition to being ignorant. These are the names of the Hezbollah operative which you idiotically referred to as a "family of 8 with no connection to Hezbollah."

🚨BREAKING: The IDF has CONFIRMED that it has WIPED OUT an entire Hezbollah terrorist cell while they were hiding in a building in southern Lebanon. At least 15 Hezbollah terrorists have been ELIMINATED! This is how you win wars. 🇮🇱

🚨Breaking: Reliable reports indicate that the missing F‑15E weapons systems officer has been rescued alive from inside Iran. Jack Murphy, a former U.S. special forces soldier and national security journalist, confirms that the officer was evading capture on the ground when rescue teams arrived. The rescue site saw intense armed clashes. If confirmed, U.S. special forces conducted a combat operation inside Iran, located their pilot, and extracted him alive—marking one of the boldest rescue missions since the start of the war, and possibly in decades.

Tell this to @TheStudyofWar Apparently they have rewritten their analysis of war to call Pyrrhus's victory over the Romans and the British accusations of 6 miles at the Somme "great victories" judging by their classifications of the loss of 2x C-130s, 4 black hawks, an F-15E, and an A-10 a great American victory. But hey, they saved a guy!

@thecyrusjanssen @GordonGChang Diplomacy is dead! We have an illiterate con man who have access to nuclear weapons! Make no mistake that #Iran humiliated the United States on the battlefield and the world will never be the same! #Iranwar

@lio_rub @VividProwess I appreciate the reply, but you call a person who speaks 2 languages bilingual, a person who speaks 3 languages trilingual, and a person who speaks one language an American. I'm an American.

Wow. Your analysis during most of the Ukraine War has been amazing. Your analysis of any conflict with Iran, starting with the June War has showed that you are biased, and frankly wrong. Remember a few weeks ago when you were parroting CENTCOM and the IDF's statements about the near total degradation of the Iran's ballistic missile's launch capability. So sure, what you mention here is a victory if you believe the US took no casualties, which you should not given the recent reporting done by The Intercept; and you define victory as the successful extraction of one airman at the loss of $500m or more in US aircraft. By this definition of victory, the Somme was a great British success! BEF advanced 6 miles over 4 months in 1916 at the cost of only 700,000 or wounded.

MORE: The Iranian regime media is falsely characterizing the shootdown of the F-15E and subsequent downing of an A-10 attack aircraft during rescue operations as a US defeat. US forces successfully established a makeshift airstrip very close to a major Iranian city, successfully extracted all of its personnel, and the combined force has continued to strike targets in Iran.

NEW: US President Donald Trump appears to have extended the deadline for Iran to stop attacking shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to 8:00 PM ET on April 7 amid discussions with Iranian officials. Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on April 5 that Iran would continue attacking shipping through the Strait, however. More Key Takeaways: US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that US forces on April 4 completed the rescue of both F-15E crewmembers after Iran shot down their aircraft on April 2 during a combat mission. US forces successfully established a makeshift airstrip very close to a major Iranian city, successfully extracted all of its personnel during the rescue operation, and the combined force has continued to strike targets in Iran. The combined force has continued to strike operational components of the program even as it targets production facilities for engines, guidance systems, and other components and research and development facilities, including a missile launcher reportedly for a Haj Qassem missile, which has a maximum range of 1,400 km. The IDF is continuing to target Iranian tunnel entrances to prevent Iranian forces from using tunnels to conceal missile sites. Iran has slightly altered its strike packages targeting Gulf states to include more cruise missiles, but it is unclear whether this represents experimentation with new tactics, an effort to manage the remaining missile reserves, or something else. Hezbollah published footage on April 4 and 5 that Hezbollah claimed shows first-person view (FPV) drone attacks conducted on March 25 against an Israeli vehicle and two Israeli Merkava tanks in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah claimed to have launched anti-ship cruise missiles at an Israeli warship located 68 nautical miles off the coast of Lebanon on April 5 for the first time since the start of the war. The IDF estimated that Hezbollah can maintain a fire rate of 200 rockets and drone launches per day at Israel for an additional five months. Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks do not appear to be achieving the desired effect of altering Israel’s decision-making in conducting airstrikes against Iran, however. Iranian-backed Iraqi militias are attempting to blame Kuwait for attacks on Iraqi oil infrastructure, likely to obfuscate responsibility for these attacks to a domestic Iraqi audience. (1/2)

@EricLDaugh It's time to turn the US into a full on rogue terror state by doubling down on an illegal war and engage in the types of war crimes we executed Germans and Japanese leaders for after WW2! Yay us?

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump is REFUSING to extend Iran's deadline, he's done "HIGHLY unlikely. They've had plenty of time! In fact, they asked for 7 days, and I gave them 10! But after 10, ALL HELL is gonna break out!" 🔥

@TriviaOfRivia Oh, it's a lot worse. I would be surprised if at least 10 Americans were killed during the operation. The video of the C-130 being hit by a SAM and falling out of the sky as a ball of fire says it all.

Don't let this distract anyone from the fact that Iran's supposedly "defeated" military managed to shoot down apparently 2, F-15 and A-10, US aircraft. Doofus Don should stop risking the lives of US personnel with this BS war ASAP, before he gets more blood on his hands. #IranWar

@otispablo CENTCOM says the C-130s were destroyed on the ground to prevent capture. There is good, non-AI, video of one C-130 being shot down and crashing in a ball of fire. I doubt anyone on that aircraft survived.

@trulytopstar Unfortunately for CENTCOM there is video. At least 1 C-130 was shot down, and not "destroyed on the ground." I doubt anyone onboard that aircraft survived.

✈️ Trump on downed F-15E and missing crewman: "We're in war." Won't impact Iran talks. When do wartime losses become negotiating obstacles—or are they just "acceptable" costs? #IranWar #TruthOverSpin

@MischkaBudnik No it isn't. Different helicopter. This one was hit on the ground by a Shahid. That's a Chinook Helicopter in your photo whereas the helicopter that landed after being hit my small arms fire yesterday was a variant of the Black Hawk.
