@robbystarbuck Called the FOB “we didn’t get the uranium” fuck up

This is absolutely going to be a movie one day soon and the screenwriter better not miss the fact that he was lost on Good Friday in local time zone and rescued on Easter before sunrise.

@World_Affairs11 22km of territory says different

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia says strait of Hormuz is not property of Iran, it must be opened for free and fair trade for all.

@shortmagsmle It was about saving trumps presidency. He didn’t care about the pilot

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

@RyanSaavedra No just losing a pilot would have cost trump his presidency

The fact that the U.S. risked hundreds of lives and billions of dollars worth of equipment to save a single life is terrifying to our enemies. This tells them that the U.S. has no limits to what it will do to ensure that all threats to America and our interests are destroyed.

@LauraLoomer Fucking dick head

This is what I voted for. Bomb jihadis back to the Stone Age where their mentality permanently lives. Trump said he’s going to bomb their infrastructure in Iran, and then he said “Praise be to Allah”. On Easter. Amazing. Just amazing. 🇺🇸 Strategic bombing wins wars.

@LeilaniDowding And the rest of the world leaders are silent

I can’t believe what I am reading Easter Sunday…. Will the diaspora dance as civilian structures get blown to pieces???

@MrsErikaKirk Pmsl, that’s why they flooded toilets onboard, mass resignations of serving troops and mass sackings by trump. Downed aircraft committing terrorism and an embarrassing rescue taking casualties of personnel and hardware.

Regardless of your opinion on Operation Epic Fury or your political affiliation, we have the greatest military in the world. Its strength lies not just in power, but in the courage, discipline, and sacrifice of our troops. God bless our men and women in uniform.

@amjadt25 Could have fooled US. Israel Zionism is NO friend to anyone. Stand with Turkey against Israel

To Britain, NATO, and the EU: The Islamic regime in Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood are our enemies. Israel is NOT an enemy and will not be. Israel is a friend, just like America, Italy, and others. The Islamic regime is attacking the UAE not France or Israel so the threat of this regime must be eliminated, whether today or tomorrow.

@War_Radar2 It was a disaster- without a casualty!! Why lie

Going deep into Iran in the middle of a war and rescuing TWO downed pilots without a single casualty, that’s something only the U.S. military can pull off. Love it or hate it, no force on Earth even comes close to the might of the U.S. military, and won’t for a long, long time.

@LeilaniDowding I’m a left wing nutter apparently! It’s not even funny anymore. If you say anything you’re antiseptic. People support Israel regardless even though they (opposition) want Netanyahu accountable and protest

Ex Trump supporters on X when we criticize Netanyahu or the war 😂

@SpectatorOz It’s bankrupt mortally and financially. It’s the west and gulf states that finance that debt. Geopolitical instability caused by America is damaged beyond repair.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. America is the wealthy, capable, relentlessly active grandfather who still pays the bills, still fixes the roof, still shows up when danger turns financial or physical, and still serves as the family’s emergency backstop. Europe, Britain and Australia are the adult children who mismanaged their own households, neglected their own responsibilities, and now spend their time lecturing the one relative still keeping the lights on. That is not an alliance at its healthiest. It is a dependency with an attitude and accountability problem. Article | spectator.com.au/2026/04/the-we…

@WarGuy_ What capabilities? This isn’t a positive in any form. America will never repair its damaged geopolitical reputation or will any sovereign nation believe America is trustworthy on peace and security

🚨 US troops destroyed their own aircraft on Iranian soil and blew roads to delay Iranian forces — then got the pilot out anyway. That tells you Iran's military couldn't stop a small US special ops team operating inside their own country. That's a capability gap that changes how every adversary in the region reads this conflict.

@PressSec What for? Terrorism

Proud of our troops. Proud of our President. Proud to be an American. 🇺🇸

@DI313_ The Indian deal more than compensates

⚡ 🇫🇷🇦🇪 A major setback for France. UAE has pulled out of the €5 billion Rafale F5 fighter jet project with France.

@ReemAmirIbrahim We pay for the public sectors and have severe discrimination against our own state pension fund and retirement age

Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement? If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!

@BraisbyI Nonsense Israel should be sanctioned, IDF arrested for terrorism once returning to the U.K. Netanyahu needs to be overthrown and then arrested and ultimately the petrodollar removed as the world Currency.

I'm a UK citizen and do not agree and am ashamed with what my Prime Minister and government are doing. Our relationship with the USA should matter, we should have given the President and the USA all the help we could, we need the USA far more than they need us.

@MarioNawfal Sorry, where’s the positive for America?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A senior U.S. military official just called this one of the most complex special operations missions in American history The details that are emerging are extraordinary. Two transport planes got stuck at a remote base inside Iran after the WSO was recovered. Commanders flew in three replacement aircraft, extracted everyone, and destroyed both disabled planes on the ground to prevent them falling into Iranian hands. The F-15E went down in a region with significant opposition to the Iranian government. The WSO may have received help from local civilians willing to shelter an American pilot while their own government hunted him. The CIA reportedly facilitates exactly this kind of arrangement through a process called "unconventional assisted recovery," making contact with civilians willing to help vulnerable troops survive. So the full picture: a pilot ejected, climbed a mountain, was sheltered by locals who risked their lives, evaded for 48 hours while Iran offered bounties, survived a massive firefight at the recovery site, was extracted on aircraft that then got stuck, required three more planes to fly in, and the originals were blown up on exit. What a story. Source: NYT Media: @officialrnintel

@hashurtag The Taliban won, what mistake did the make? America committing terrorism in Iran is the global wake up call

The U.S. successfully extracting 3 out of 3 of their pilots behind enemy lines ought to be a wake up call for Iran. They must take the off-ramp and proceed with talks immediately before April 6th deadline. Don’t make the mistake that the Taliban made in their pig-headedness that led to 2 decades of death and destruction.

@JoeySalads Yes I agree, stop the petro dollar and American weapons deals. Time for America to finance its own debt

There are 31 USA bases in Europe and 0 European bases in the USA. Perhaps it is time for them to pay some protection money.

@FurkanGozukara Because @SecGenNATO knows without America he’s out of a job

Absolute humiliation for Europe. NATO Chief Mark Rutte openly admits on camera that the European Union is completely defenseless without Washington. He tells European leaders to "keep on dreaming" if they think they can survive alone. The Western alliance is incredibly fragile.
