I’m sorry, he’s talking about taking out the entire country of Iran now?

Trump: The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.

@Mollyploofkins Give them another two weeks
Just like Russia in Ukraine 👎

@BruceThompson51 @RealAirPower1 Yep
Hence Tactical Strike and Recon (TSR) I guess 👍
English

@HancocksHalf @RealAirPower1 Hmm! Wonder what its mission was supposed to be, then? Penetrate ground defenses under the radar, pop up and release bombs, then egress?

On this day in 1965, the UK Labour Government axed the BAC TSR-2 in favor of the General Dynamics F-111. It was the last real attempt by Britain to "single-handedly" design and build a top-tier combat aircraft. A technical marvel that looked like it belonged in the future, the TSR-2 unfortunately became one of aviation’s greatest "what ifs." Even decades later, it’s hard not to wonder how British airpower would have evolved if the "White Bird" had actually entered service. Anyway, #avgeeks, do you think the TSR-2 could have truly outclassed the Aardvark, or was the project just too ambitious for its own good?

@BruceThompson51 @RealAirPower1 It wasn't designed as a fighter, as I remember it was designed to use ground effect to keep it at high speed close to the ground 👍

@RealAirPower1 Such a small delta wing, like an even less maneuverable 1960s Century Series USAF fighter! It would have dropped like a brick if it lost power, from the looks of it.
English

@RealAirPower1 It was a technical marvel, and had scope to grow and get better
The F111 was heavy and late but did the job, but the TSR2 was a different fish, so apples and oranges
Cancelling it so late in the program was criminal but was a hallmark of UK governments of the time 👎

@StarWarsDaily_ Fine
Just not the way they were used in the sequels - Leia would have tried to rescue the bridge crew of the ship, not just herself 👎

@Gregory38084480 @Dunibear @SaltyGoat17 According to Google there are as many registered Muslims in the US as in the UK, if not more

@Dunibear @SaltyGoat17 You will love living under Sharia law. Your nation is going Muslim, enjoy.

@StarWarsDaily_ Dex
Obi Wan had a dart of unknown origin, and he went down to his local cafe and the owner just happened to be his best pal AND know what it was - better than all Jedi knowledge combined

@latestinspace Of course, because all the other 27 astronauts who circled the moon kept their eyes closed the whole time 👎
English

@RpsAgainstTrump He couldn't take out the entire country in one night if he tried
And if he tried it, the US would be hounded for years to come 👎
English

@WarMonitor3 Well they weren't going to drop them near the downed airman were they ? And what could the Iranians do about the B1s ? Nothing - except get out of the way ... kind of telling isn't it ?

France Has Moved All Its Gold Out of the United States
The Banque de France has completed a full withdrawal of its gold reserves from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Between July 2025 and January 2026, 129 tonnes of French gold stored in New York were sold and replaced with equivalent bullion purchased in Europe. All of France’s 2,437 tonnes of gold now sit in Paris. Every last bar.
The timing is hard to ignore. With Trump tearing up the postwar rulebook and transatlantic trust at historic lows, France has quietly made sure its financial bedrock is no longer stored on American soil.
The operation generated a 13 billion euro windfall on the back of record-high gold prices, turning a 7.7 billion euro loss in 2024 into an 8.1 billion euro profit in 2025. Macron essentially got paid to exit.
And France is not alone.
Germany still holds 1,236 tonnes of gold at the Federal Reserve, roughly 37 percent of its total reserves. The pressure to bring it home is building fast. Michael Jäger, head of the Association of German Taxpayers, has been blunt: Trump is unpredictable, does everything to generate revenue, and Germany’s gold is no longer safe in the Fed’s vaults.
That is the mainstream conversation in Berlin.
France has already acted. Germany is watching and calculating. The age of trusting Washington with Europe’s gold may be quietly coming to an end. As absolutely everything else.

Iranian forces managed to capture an MRE teriyaki beef stick at the American forward base in Isfahan.

OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
Appears that U.S. forces also destroyed at least one MH-6 Little Bird helicopter left behind at the forward base in Iran.
English

@RpsAgainstTrump He's going around each European leader one at a time and abusing them ?
Is this the qualities of a good US leader. Y'all must be proud 👎

@hollywoodscifi They are going through some strange stories
Discovery started strong but just got weird. SNW first two series were ok ... apart from the singing 😊
And then Academy ? Not seen it but they need strong stories to sell it
The last couple of movies were also a bit ... odd, so ...
