Mr.BronzeEye

@oak_shingle @sentdefender Nowhere did my argument rely on a complete regime change.

@eaub77203 @sentdefender This is utterly delusional. These strikes are not going to result in a regime change. They will do nothing but harden the existing regime, and even get Iranians who previously did not like the regime to rally behind them.

Iranian operatives have been digging out underground missile bunkers and silos struck by American and Israeli bombs, returning them to operation hours after an attack, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) still retaining a significant amount of its cruise and ballistic missiles as well as mobile launchers, according to recent U.S. intelligence reports shared with The New York Times.

Why the US strikes on Iran are debatably a net-positive in the long run: (Important preface that the loss of human life on both sides is deeply unfortunate) Degrading Irans proxy networks (Hezbollah, Houthi's, Iraqi milita) by cutting off the financier/supplier, allowing the Middle East to be a more stable environment. Deepens US-Gulf Arab relations (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain) due to increase reliance on US military infrastructure to defend against Iranian threats. (I will concede that this is a circular argument bc they wouldn't need defense if Iran was not struck; however, UAE has always been wary of Iran) Demonstrates US military capabilities over Russian and Chinese supplied air-defense/technology, sending a direct deterrence signal to Beijing and Moscow. Accumulates irreplaceable real-world combat experience for US forces that no training nor simulation can replicate. (In addition to highlighting weaknesses to drones which will provides valuable data for how US systems can improve) IF Iran strikes result in regime change, or at least control over Strait of Hormuz or even Kharg island (or similar island Chain), US influence over Iranian and Venusian oil reasserts the Petrodollar at a time when BEICS nations are actively working to displace it. (And would reinforce US dollars role in global reserve currency ch through energy supply control). This would also give the US massive leverage when negotiating with China. Places US contractors at the top of every allied and undecided nations procurement list, significantly boosting the US defense economy. In regards to Taiwan, china's window has likely closed and due to establishing US military credibility, Chinese decision makers are likely postponing or even ditching the idea entirely. (At least taking Taiwan by force) In sum, if partially successful, these strikes in addition to the Venezuela operation, repositions American power, influence, and economic primacy for the next several decades. #iran #usa #military #oil

@DefensePolitics Nice analysis, keep up the good work.

Eastern Iran is still largely untouched. This is why the air campaign is not over. I expect the campaign to carry on for another 2 months. In Operation Desert Storm, the air campaign was 43 days. (1.5 months). Iran is significantly bigger as a country (3.8 times bigger than Iraq). The air force used was also way bigger in the Ops Desert Storm, while the current campaign's air force is more high tech and more accurate (not to mention the use of AI assisted target acquisition)

@ProjectChange @theisogawd The charge was resisting arrest, the flame thrower likely doesn't help.

@theisogawd Is it really a crime to own a flamethrower?

He got a million dollar bond for doing this 😂😂🤣🤣

@SlitherineGames I also hate you guys for having no release date

A plan is only as good as its execution, and in Bolt Action, execution is never guaranteed. The transition from a static turn order to a randomized activation system changes the fundamental math of the tabletop. Read more in Dev Diary #3: store.steampowered.com/news/app/38560…

Snagged my first E-11, 24-9049 as BACN65. #KPSM

USAF B-52H heavy bomber spotted heading towards Iran this morning, carrying a load of AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles.

@LogKa11 THEY ARE NOT USING PATRIOTS TO INTERCEPT THESE but believe what y'all wanna believe

How to explain the Shahed-136 drone to your 6 yr old child.

I believe I captured a "first" today. 🙌 #b21 #b21raider #stealthbomber

@DARPA @SR_Planespotter @USSOCOM @BellFlight @sentdefender

Introducing our latest X-Plane, the X-76! ⚡ Part of a joint effort with @USSOCOM on the SPRINT program, this experimental aircraft is being built by @BellFlight to demonstrate runway-independent, high-speed flight.

I complained for years that the F-35 was an absolutely retarded money pit that we were never going to actually use. I am very pleased to admit that I was wrong.

Presidente @RealDonaldTrump, recibimos esta decisión como un reconocimiento al pueblo de Venezuela y a su justa causa por la verdad de nuestro país. Reiteramos nuestra disposición a construir relaciones de largo plazo basadas en el respeto mutuo, la igualdad

@AdamSchefter @PHLEaglesNation Hyped! Got his jersey his rookie season and would hate to retire it🫡

ESPN Sources: The Eagles and DT Jordan Davis have reached agreement on a three-year extension, tying him to Philadelphia for the next four seasons. Davis was the No. 13 pick in 2022 and was entering his fifth-year option season worth $12.938M.
