Iran is better at it. "Iran, however, has taken a special vengeance on the pilots of the Iraqi air force and the lawlessness that followed the collapse of Saddam's regime gave Iran its opportunity. In addition to the 182 pilots who have been hunted down and killed by Iranian agents, the assassination campaign prompted another 800 Iraqi pilots to flee the country, according to statistics released by the Iraqi Defense Ministry." abcnews.com/International/…

🚨 Reports claim a U.S. F-15 has been downed over Iran. 2 things you can count on: - Our pilots will NEVER be left behind - Those responsible will be killed Pete Hegseth: If you kill Americans, we will hunt you down without apology, without hesitation, and we will kill you.

@kamipapa2 Those of us who lived through the Cola Wars cherish the fragile peace we've achieved. Please delete this.

アメリカではコカコーラとペプシコーラの2強だと思ってたんだが…意外と群雄割拠だな

@KevorkAlmassian @ianbremmer Ahem. It's called a prisoner of special military operation.

@ianbremmer It's called a prisoner of war.

really really hope this doesn’t become a hostage situation.

@KHenline70879 @USronaldcarter POTUSes are so powerful, they can even stop time.

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently. "Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting." Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%. He chose to act knowing his own base would split. He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help. He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike. A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage." Read that again. Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@HananyaNaftali @FBI

.@FBI An American citizen praises the IRGC for downing US fighter jet. His citizenship should be revoked.

@cirnosad My first thought after no casualties officially reported after strikes on U.S. bases in GCC countries.

Is that the main motivation? Are they going to launder their 4 digits of casualties with a ground invasion?

@Currentreport1 Never before has an "if" done such heavy lifting.

BREAKING: A US A-10 Warthog is operating over Iran to help locate the pilot of an F-15 fighter jet shot down by Iran. If the rescue operation is successful, it could boost US confidence in launching a ground invasion of Iran.

@Megatron_ron Bunch of Plan Trusters are feverishly assessing the profound significance of "???" as we speak.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Trump on Truth Social: “With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A GUSHER FOR THE WORLD???”

@disclosetv Any minute now we'll get a matter that we're thanked for paying attention to.

JUST IN - U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran, search and rescue operations underway for crew — Axios

@ShadowPatriotUS @MarioNawfal Iran is systematically crippling U.S. on the global stage by releasing honest statements. They've weaponized truth in this conflict. Look no further than wave 91 from "depleted and broken" launchers.

🚨 Mario Nawfal pushing Iranian state media claim: “Iran captured US F-15E pilots.” Pure propaganda. CENTCOM: “Rumors of F-15E crash in Iran are baseless and NOT TRUE.” No US jet lost over Iran. No POWs. Pilots safe. Fog-of-war fake from Tasnim to hype regime. Debunked. 🇺🇸

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: Iranian state media Tasnim is reporting Iranian forces have captured the American pilots. If confirmed, the US just lost an F-15E and its crew inside Iran, the first American POWs of this war. Every decision Trump makes in the next 24 hours just got significantly more complicated.

@paranormal_2ch why is it talking?

@nikutaberuru The Cola Wars were a dark time for the republic.

@Roger774501171 The first manager who subjects his team to a Baltimore chop clinic during an off-day is going to win the World Series.

Today’s MLB is better than years past they tell me 🤔, I will always love baseball, however every game now the average team strikes out about 10 times plus a game , no one can barely hit a sac fly , move the runners . It’s homerun or nothing smh, bring back Americas Pastime.

@jeosg7393 What my cherished Japanese friends must understand is that Trump is from Queens. People from Queens say "I live in New York City" to impress strangers. But their words are lies. Manhattan is New York City. Not Queens. Queens is where ugly goes to die. It is shithole.

アメリカ人でまだ正気保ってて政治経済のニュース見てる人に正直な分析を聞きたいのだけれど、トランプは2~3週間後に本当に撤退出来ると思う？ イスラエルがなりふり構わず引き留めて、また何週間も攻撃するだけだと思ってるし、日本に石油は届かないし、いずれアニメも作れなくなると思ってる。

@realtonysm1th We should get the Ouija board, go to the Bedminster golf course, and ask Ivanka. Maybe she has some insight.

Maybe I’m crazy, but is Trump acting really bizarre? Like he normally has a good read on voters, even if what he says is nonsense. He nailed it in 2024; he knew exactly what to say and to avoid mention of all these wild new shenanigans he’s suddenly into. What is this strategy?

@politicalmath Cigarettes and sadism.

My teens wanted to watch a horror movie so we watched The Shining, which sent me down a rabbit trail Critics *hated* The Shining when it was released. Siskel gave it 2 stars. Variety said Kubrick "destroyed all that was so terrifying about the King novel". One critic called it "Shallow, self-conscious, and dull. Read the book". Kubrick was nominated for "Worst Director" at the first Razzie awards I find all of this insane. In imdb, The Shining is rated as one of the top 100 movies of all time. It is seared into our collective memory with "all work and no play" and "Here's Johnny" and "red rum". Somehow Kubrick made a horror movie that every "smart" person hated when it came out and yet endured as one of the great movies of all time. How do you do that?

@Microinteracti1 Baby talk explanation. France polite. France normal. France say "USA not use my sky for war." Iran say "you are polite and normal. Sail in water." France say "okay."

A French container ship just sailed through the Strait of Hormuz. No deal with Iran. No IRGC tollbooth fee. They just went. That is what Trump’s “maximum pressure” looks like in April 2026. One French box ship hugging the Iranian coast, hoping nobody feels like making a point today. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@AnoBanoNo @cirnosad Progress is money and progress cannot abide beauty. For beauty speaks to memory, resonates with memory, and no amount of riches can seduce the past.

@cirnosad The world used to be better when we had warm yellow street lamps.

I'm not a fan of light pollution. Sydney is more beautiful than any city in China.

@disclosetv Hegseth is moments away from announcing that Paula White will lead the ground operation.
