@jaythe_greatest @cirnosad This is the most reasonable thing I've read

@cirnosad You’re missing the forest for the tree.
This is because Hegseth hates Dan Driscoll, the Secretary of the Army and wants to control the Army himself. He’s just consolidating his power. But Dan Driscoll is JD Vance’s best friend, so let’s see how this goes.

100% Trump asked the pentagon to do something unacceptable.
It’s either “boots on the ground” or an open and signalled nuclear strike.
This is the worst sign possible.

@F8tallycool @HealthRanger The stereotype is real 🤣 these fucking inbreds are retarded

If you think that flying around the moon is "heroic" or a "breakthrough," you have the mind of a five-year-old.
The astronauts aren't flying anything. They are tourists. Simply along for the ride. There's no reason to even have four of them. Or any of them. It's dumb. The mission would be on exactly the same trajectory without any astronauts at all.
Basically they are stuck in a metal can for 10 days and functioning primarily as propagandists for a failing empire that can barely make toilets work, while their bones and brains deteriorate from a lack of gravity.
Five days into this they'll probably fake some emergency to create drama for the news cycle, and to distract Americans from rising food and fuel prices.
Look! Squirrel!

@HealthRanger "failing empire" LMAO...
Name another country on the planet that can be involved in a war, helping another country in a war, and launch a shuttle to the moon at the same time.. I'll wait here...

Trump signals the end of the US hegemony and its willingness for sea control.
People often exaggerate about watershed moments in world history, but we are indeed in the midst of a paradigm shift, bigger than the collapse of the USSR, because that one at most only changed 9% of the world's population and brought down 10% of its economic system.
This one, the collapse of the US hegemony is seismic.
English
How about the first 2 times we lost hundreds of thousands of or best to defend you? You red coat fucks forget about that so quickly. Until your PM is crying on the phone to POTUS begging him to send troops because Putin is marching across Europe. W/O America and the Russians you fucks would be speaking German.
English
If Trump pulls the US out of NATO, Europe will quickly realise that they never needed the US in the first place.
As we have said for years, the US was never going to defend Europe. It was and will always be an utter myth.
They just want Europe to buy their useless military hardware and munitions and so they can seek to control Europe and prevent it's rotation to Russia and Eurasia.
Europe has a choice, die defending its pointless relationship with the US or embrace Eurasia including Russia

@PhilosophyOfPhy You better admit you have never read Feynman, dude
English
A Caltech colleague once asked Feynman to explain why spin-½ particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics in a way a freshman could understand.
Feynman agreed enthusiastically and promised to prepare a freshman-level lecture.
A few days later, he returned sheepishly and admitted defeat:
“I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t reduce it to a freshman level. That means we really don’t understand it.”
He used this as a teaching principle,
if you can’t explain something simply, you probably don’t understand it yourself.
This story circulated quietly among faculty and students as a humbling reminder that even Nobel laureates should test their own knowledge against the ability to communicate clearly.
It reflected his broader disdain for “cargo cult” teaching and his commitment to stripping away pretense in the classroom.

You and half this country have no idea what has to be sacrificed for freedom and safety. Iran is our enemy period, has killed thousands of Americans and cost this country trillions and hold the entire region hostage with their bullshit ideology. With your attitude and panic we would have never won WWI or II, the last wars that we actually fought to win. Trump is the first president to say enough is enough, they cried wolf one to many times now they pay the price and the rest of the world will reap the rewards.

-26 job approval for the old man? -18 from @foxnews?
Unthinkable. Even safe Republican seats… won’t be. Another week of this and a War Powers Act vote WILL gain steam.
The old man made his bed. (Hah, never, he has servants for that.) Now he gets to lie in all that spray tan.

@DA_Stockman You do have to wonder about our combat readiness after Obamas purges and 4 years of Biden’s DEI military, where anyone with a spine who resisted the clot shots was fired.
English
Each carrier battle group with escort ships, planes and defense against attack costs $25 billion +. Both of these two are out of commission after minor scrapes with Iranian coastal patrol boats and rebellious sailors on board. What a hideous waste. Every member of the defense appropriations committees who votes to fund these lumbering dinosaurs should be tarred, feathered and run of of town.

The US Navy sent its two most powerful warships to fight Iran. Both are now gone from the front. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the most expensive warship ever built at $13.2 billion, left the Red Sea after a fire broke out in its laundry room. That’s the official story. The real story is what a Pentagon testing report quietly revealed at the same time. The Ford’s jet launch system is unreliable. Its radar is unreliable. Its weapons elevators, the lifts that move bombs and missiles to the flight deck, are unreliable. Pentagon testers said there is simply not enough data to assess whether the ship can keep operating if it takes enemy fire. Fixes for these combat systems have been identified. Most remain unfunded. The ship also doesn’t have enough bunks. It needs at least 159 more. This is the Navy’s flagship. Delivered years late. $13.2 billion. Deployed into a war zone with systems the Pentagon itself cannot certify as combat-ready. Then there’s the USS Abraham Lincoln. Iran claimed repeatedly that its missiles forced the Lincoln to retreat. The US called it propaganda. What’s not disputed: the Lincoln moved from 350 kilometers off the Iranian coast to over 1,100 kilometers away. Both carriers are now parked far beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles. The Pentagon calls it “tactical repositioning.” The Ford has been at sea for nearly 11 months, one of the longest carrier deployments in modern US history. Maintenance on nuclear carriers takes months under normal conditions. After a fire, an 11-month deployment, and a backlog of deferred repairs, analysts are now talking about 12 to 14 months out of action. America went into this war with two carriers. It now has zero operating near the fight. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@AGDugin it was an accident, do y'all lie about everything?

Someone starts to hit the energy infrastructure of the US. You can’t destroy energy infrastructure of others and feel yourself safe. You can’t kill the political leaders of other sovereign countries and keep your own political leaders in the total security. War means war.

@cirnosad So have the Americans. Don’t forget, President Trump could end this war with a single bomb if he chose to….dont ever forget that.

There's an obvious open secret everyone is ignoring that will become clear around 30 hours from now:
Iran has been holding back the entire time.
English
@steffingomes I disagree—I think there's a bright line in the mid-90s when the internet and mobile phones went mainstream.
But not everyone will agree—that's why I said it's contrarian!
English
One of my contrarian takes:
Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since.
It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies.
“Excess meets innocence.”
The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity.
Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX.
Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech:
Mobile phones
The internet
Social media
AI
All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society.
We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one.
Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction.
Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@BestMovieMom Love the movie. His magazine should’ve been closer. He took his eyes off his intended target. Mags should be keep in your chest area. You should be able to secure your mag, insert it without looking, while keeping your eyes down range behind cover and concealment.

Val Kilmer’s rapid-fire reload during the bank heist in Heat (1995) was so technically perfect that the footage was later used by Special Forces instructors as a training example for "proper magazine changes under fire."

“Reading after a certain age diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.” — Albert Einstein

@RealPepeEscobar It is no more than a bluff. What happens if they dare to do will be hardest to come back from.
Internet gets shut off, people may have to drink their pee to survive, the least worry would be oil.

The IRGC has called neo-Caligula's bluff:
"We warn for the last time: at the slightest attack on our infrastructure, we will destroy all energy, information technology, and water desalination infrastructure belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime."

@yooper1952 @MatthewPHoh Air dominance? What an absolute imbecile inbred you are
English
@MatthewPHoh That would be because you don't appear to understand anything regarding military operations. I don't agree with this war, but I am capable of making reasonable assessments of operations. The US has air dominance and can fully support a presence on Kharg Island.
English
When I think of Marines and paratroopers being sent to take Kharq island, or some other island or bit of Iranian coast, I think of the disastrous battle for Krynky in Ukraine in 2024.
Ukrainian Marines were put on the far shore of the Dnieper for propaganda purposes with no hope of any success other than their presence for the cameras in Russian controlled territory. Unable to be effectively reinforced and supplied, unable to even evacuate their dead and wounded, they were massacred for months by Russian drones and artillery.
That’s what I think of when I think of US Marines and paratroopers seizing Iranian islands.

I've noted many taking offense at my characterization of the 82nd airborne as a "light infantry division". That is exactly the right description. They are basically a "man-portable equipment only outfit". No heavy equipment. Maybe a handful of small artillery pieces. Also, although the division head count is about 18k, there is only a single Brigade Combat Team of ~4000 combat effectives at any given time. So that's what is being rushed to the Persian Gulf: 4000 lightly armed infantry with minimal vehicles, no armor, and just a few days supply of man-portable heavy firepower. So, 4400 Marines + 4000 Airborne troops -- 8400 light infantry soldiers sent to subdue an army with immense numbers; immense precision firepower; interior lines of supply and almost inexhaustible strategic depth. These 8400 light infantrymen would confront 5x - 10x their number, backed up by MLRS, tube artillery, and gazillions of mortars. Oh, and short range PGMs of all shapes and sizes. You think your A-10s and Apaches are going to scare 'em all away? No, they're gonna shoot down those archaic air frames and piss on the smoldering wreckage. It ain't the 1980s or 1990s any more. This will be big league war against a seriously powerful and tactically competent army. They will kill you comprehensively, with a powerful grudge to avenge. Your best bet is to not fight them at all. Go home to you families. Marry, raise children, live peaceably with your neighbors; beat your swords into ploughshares and learn war no more.
