@Frances_Coppola @kiwigirl888 The US is also using 2000 and even 5000 pound bombs during this conflict. It’s just what it is You use the ordnance you need to destroy the target If the target is near residential areas it’s just bad luck War is hell and evil But it’s also as old as humanity itself so will war

"Military experts told BBC Eye that the Israeli air force is likely using particularly large bombs across Tehran from the Mark 80 series, which are often fitted with precision guidance systems. They added that the scale and spread of the damage observed in Resalat is consistent with the use of the Mark 84, the largest of the series, weighing 2,000lb (907kg). Unexploded bombs matching these types have been photographed in the city." Israel is using 2,000 lb bombs in residential areas, with zero regard for civilian life. Just as it did in Gaza. Stop arming Israel. Stop supporting its wars. Expel it from the UN and sanction it. Now.

@RexWiderstrom @PronouncedHare Pt 5. Thanks for your reply by the way friend. I really appreciate the time you took to write it and hope you do finally manage to get your knee sorted :)

Yes, I'm not about to commit suicide over it, but I suffered the debilitating flare up from a decades-old knee injury recently. From someone whose primary form of exercise (and something I enjoyed) was walking, to someone who limps and wears a knee brace, almost overnight. But since I suffered the injury overseas, ACC don't want to know. GP shrugged, ordered an X-ray (system won't pay for an ultrasound), said "arthritis" even though the other knee is fine. End of assistance. Now on a diet of anti-inflammatories and a life of pain. Irony is, when deciding down the line whether to fund an op, the system will discount my reduced quality of life in order to justify letting me die 🙄 And, as you say, the vastly over stuffed bureaucracy will congratulate themselves on "efficiency".

I hate to say I told you so. Well, that’s not true. But wish I had been wrong. The inevitable outcomes of the logic we have unleashed on suicide seem impossible to stop.

@RexWiderstrom @PronouncedHare Pt 4. Because of her extreme suffering there have been multiple sucide attempts and she has made request to euthanasia Thankfully she doesn’t qualify yet. But could if/when the proposed rules change All because we love I the wrong city and they won’t seek help from specs in Welly

@RexWiderstrom @PronouncedHare Pt 3. To figure it out. So now I understand what’s happening and why, but I can’t treat her. It was me having to explain things to the doctors up here. Why they won’t consult or transfer her to Wellington is beyond me. It’s meant to be one health system after

@RexWiderstrom @PronouncedHare Pt 2. They have specialists in Wellington and late last year they declined her referral because they apparently don’t see out of area patients. She spent 7 weeks in hospital and not once did anyone explain her condition to her. I myself had to get into the medial journals to

@RexWiderstrom @PronouncedHare Pt 1. My wife has a serve neurological condition It’s not life threatening just suffering on a scale I’ve never seen before for 10 months. There is no medication she can take that can alleviate her symptoms because we don’t have the specialists on the Manawatu and she cant travel

@MWReborn_3rd @christosKoffas @EUNAVFOR_MED @EUNAVFORASPIDES @CommissionEU @NavyGR @MarineNationale @Armada_esp @RoyalNavy @USNavyEurope @centcomcdr @ItalianNavy I don't disagree with you there at all, the reality is the modern law of arm conflict makes it almost impossible to fight wars in the modern age without being accused of genocide or war crimes. So with restrictive ROEs it becomes simply a matter of who wants to give up first.

@TimEdwa17994672 @christosKoffas @EUNAVFOR_MED @EUNAVFORASPIDES @CommissionEU @NavyGR @MarineNationale @Armada_esp @RoyalNavy @USNavyEurope @centcomcdr @ItalianNavy the Achilles heel of the american military is the politicians and bureaucracy, had our soldiers been given the same leadership, ROE, etc of WW2 or the indian wars, we would have won in vietnam and with the taliban

❗️ Naval Deployments across the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East. US 🇺🇸: 29 Warships deployed and 7 more on transit EU 🇪🇺: 18 Warships deployed UK 🇬🇧: 2 Warships UN 🇺🇳: 2 Warships Note: Pakistan 🇵🇰 and India 🇮🇳 also maintain some warships close to the Straits of Hormuz. #IranWar‌ #USN #EU #Iran #EpicFury

@thinkdefence reminds of the scene from Tora Tora film, the general inspects the airbase and asked why the fighters are dispersed as it will make them easy targets for sabotage so he makes them pack them tight, only to be easy targets for Japanese fighter bombers on that day of infamy,

From what I have read elsewhere, the extent of damage to the aircraft was much less than speculated, but it does underline that thing we have been banging on about for years. Dispersal, defence and physical protection measures

@MWReborn_3rd @christosKoffas @EUNAVFOR_MED @EUNAVFORASPIDES @CommissionEU @NavyGR @MarineNationale @Armada_esp @RoyalNavy @USNavyEurope @centcomcdr @ItalianNavy as long as the Straight of Hormuz is still controlled by Iran they are winning because of the impact it's having on world fuel supplies and economy. Remember the US won 100% of the battles against the Taliban, over 95% against the North Vietnamese but still lost those wars.

@christosKoffas @EUNAVFOR_MED @EUNAVFORASPIDES @CommissionEU @NavyGR @MarineNationale @Armada_esp @RoyalNavy @USNavyEurope @centcomcdr @ItalianNavy but remember guys, iran is still winning

@russianforces "what's the purpose of UK nuclear weapons is." thought that would have been obvious by now....so they don't have to actually have to fund a conventional force that is capable of deterrence.

The UK would have arguably been much better off in many ways had they ditched their program ca. 2007, when they discussed it. One needs to be a high priest of nuclear theology to explain (still unconvincingly) what's the purpose of UK nuclear weapons is.

@Osinttechnical has there been any explanation of what cause it? was it an accident or sabotage etc?

The explosion at Valero’s Port Arthur refinery has taken one of the largest U.S. refining facilities offline -Wood Mackenzie The shutdown removes almost 415,000 barrels of refining capacity from the US market.

@ricwe123 whats the source for this data? Also why is there an almost straight drop of 20 days in the space of 1-2 days? not saying anything is wrong with the data, but stats can be manipulating to support an argument even it's not not actually the truth.

New Zealand,a first-world country,is now staring down the possibility of running out of fuel in just a few weeks. No strategic reserves to fall back on. Refineries shut down. Domestic energy production crippled. And deep-sea oil exploration banned. All of it the result of short-sighted, self-inflicted policy decisions under Jacinda Ardern. Decisions that traded energy security for political optics. What we’re seeing now isn’t bad luck; it’s the predictable consequence of reckless leadership.

@TBrit90 How is this even possible. Do they not care?

Defence secretary thinks we have 17 frigates and destroyers Its 13, and will be 12 end of this year.

@AMK_Mapping_ Hopefully this is all part of a faint and that the troops are actually going to be used to secure the strait.

Reportedly images of Iranian soldiers waiting on Kharg Island in the Strait of Hormuz with FPV drones in preparation for a potential U.S. ground operation on the island.

@alihuseyn_glzd @Osint613 How many theocratic Christian nations are there?

@Osint613 So, 1) Practically, half of all Muslims are Twelver Shia muslims (40%). 2) Such kind of theses about Armageddon exist also in Christianity and Judaism. 3) It is impossible to defeat Muslims, especially Shia Muslims.

The Islamic regime is unlikely to accept Trump’s demands unless something dramatic changes. The Islamic regime is fighting what it frames as a messianic war. It is rooted in Twelver Shia doctrine, which holds that global chaos will precede a messianic era. It teaches that the “hidden Imam,” believed to have been born about 1157 years ago and still alive, will reveal himself after widespread disorder to restore order. Look it up.

@AMK_Mapping_ What about Pokrovsk? How much flattening/damage was down there? How much did the buildings benefit or not from the use of FPV drones there?

@AirPowerNEW1 thanks for your reply friend.

@TimEdwa17994672 They are keeping her till 2027 IIRC.

Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) conducts flight operations in the Pacific Ocean, March 19, 2026. Nimitz is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations as part of a scheduled homeport shift to Norfolk, Virginia. (U.S. Navy)

@LauraLoomer No, my middle child had health issues and cried for 90% of the day when awake for a few years Parenting has nothing to do with it It's super important not to judge people because you just have no idea what they are going through Not judging you either because I used to think same

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@AinsleyDubai @SirWirtz @Scaramucci They don't need GPS, intercontinental ballistic missiles had been around for decades before GPS was a thing. It's called an Internal Navigation System. Works by calculating speed, altitude, distance, direction (compass) and time to reach it's destination.

@SirWirtz @Scaramucci Guys, I live in the UAE along with all the delivery drivers that will all confidently tell you that since this military operation has started sat nav & GPS have not been working correctly at all. Trusting the GPS from google rn is like trusting a wolf 2 watch your chicken 😂

Here’s the question nobody in Washington is asking about the Diego Garcia strike: how did Iran know exactly where to aim? They don’t have satellite coverage of the Indian Ocean. Someone gave them the targeting data. Who? And what does that make this war?
