Iran is a better ally to Catholics than the US under the Epstein class.

@joeroganhq @julia_kanin It's curious that this man claims to be very moral and says the right things with regard to this subject, but has never said anything on record about the genocide in Palestine or Lebanon.

Nayib Bukele: "They are worried about the human rights of the k*llers. What about the human rights of the women who don't want to be r*ped? Or the kids who want to safely play in the park?"

Did you know that Israel was putting explosives in kid’s toys in Lebanon in the 80s? Israel created its problem in Lebanon.

“Oh mother Mary, Saint Elijah, I beg you” - a Lebanese Christian prays as Israel bombs a mosque right in front of her. Israel is the Jewish ISIS.

Utterly evil, but Western media won't tell you this

President Trump likely doesn't know (and maybe doesn't care) that he just admitted in a TruthSocial post that he lied to the American ppl and world about why he chose to start this war w Iran on 28 February. We should not let this go. In this post, he boasts that *none* of the reprocessed nuclear material allegedly buried in the June 2025 attack, has been moved since Operation Midnight Hammer. It has been under "exacting Satellite Surveillance" he boasted, so its definitely still there. He even went so far as to say we'll help them "dig up and remove" said material. One big problem with that boast: He and his chosen "negotiator" Steve Witkoff sounded the alarm from every TV and Cable outlet in America that Iran was "about a week" away from a nuclear bomb, and therefore posed "an imminent threat." That was a known lie. We, therefore, didn't merely violate the U.S. Constitution by going to full-on war without Congressional declaration or authorization, didn't just violate American law, didn't even primarily violate international law: The President of the United States knowingly took America to war - sacrificing the lives of at least 13 Americans and the wounding of nearly 400 others - based on pure fraud and a desire to seize the oil from another country. To add insult to injury, he also got us into a war we couldn't win. At the moment we have a ceasefire, but an end-of-war negotiated settlement is far from done; this could turn back hot again at any moment. This is an affront to the American ppl and shows with what contempt the President has for the lives of our Service Members. That's the truth, folks, from the President's own postings, you have it black and white.

@calvinfroedge It also hasn't rained at the whole month of April.

Is the super deep sand in the room with us now?

The US lost Catalinas flying “Dumbo” missions to rescue downed pilots in the pacific war. The airframes are not the point. The commitment to your personnel is very important and they should never be written off on a balance sheet. Get your guys.

@mazzenilsson It's also hard to get stuck in the mud when it hasn't rained lately.

Walking 110 miles in a single day is not realistic for someone who just survived a plane crash.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 According to geolocation data, the WSO of the downed F-15E was evacuated via a remote agricultural airstrip roughly 50 km south of Isfahan. He was initially located on Mount Siyah in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, reportedly hiding in a crevice. U.S. recovery personnel later described landing in open terrain south of Isfahan. The straight-line distance between those points is at least 231 km—closer to 428 km by road. That implies the WSO was moved a considerable distance—potentially by helicopter—to an extraction point still roughly 400 km from the Kuwaiti border. One plausible platform for this would be an MH-6M “Little Bird” operated by the 160th SOAR. If accurate, this suggests a sustained U.S. air operation deep inside Iranian territory—potentially up to 400 km from the border—over a period of roughly 36 hours. That would include search and recovery, establishing a landing zone, relocating the pilot, and executing the final extraction, reportedly without losses. Taken at face value, this reflects poorly on Iranian response capabilities. Resistance appears to have been limited to small-arms fire from local militias and Basij units, pointing to gaps not only in air defense coverage but also in coordination and access to systems like MANPADS. ☝️That said—tinfoil hat moment— Given that the Isfahan area hosts sensitive nuclear infrastructure long associated with uranium conversion and research, it’s worth asking whether the operation had secondary objectives beyond personnel recovery—or whether the CSAR mission itself was simply an unplanned component of a broader operation. And if the official account is accurate, it sets a troubling precedent for Iran: the U.S. appears capable of conducting extended operations deep inside Iran while openly signaling interest in securing its enriched uranium.

@imetatronink BTW it hasn't rained at Isfahan lately. So hard to get stuck in the mud.

🤔 Relevant Data Points and My Thoughts Data Points: 🔹 The alleged "F-15E" crash site has been geolocated to a site not far from Isfahan and the Natanz nuclear site. 🔹 The HC-130J can carry TWO MH-6 "Little Bird" helicopters + ~10 troops. 🔹 The HC-130J can carry ONE MH-6 and ~60 troops. 🔹 Absent any MH-6 helicopters, the HC-130J can carry ~90 troops or ~64 paratroopers (as in soldiers fully loaded to jump out of them). 🔹 HC-130Js have no purpose in the context of a CSAR mission to rescue a single pilot. My Thoughts: 🔹 A pilot rescue is clearly not the whole story. 🔹 The proximity of the action to Isfahan and Natanz lends credence to the theory that the REAL object of this mission was to seize nuclear materials (as absurd as that mission would have been!). 🔹 It is probable that MORE than TWO HC-130Js were involved. 🔹 The bare-dirt agricultural airstrip was undoubtedly known and mapped as an emergency ditching site, but was NOT envisioned as an operational drop zone. 🔹 The foolhardy mission flew into an Iranian ambush, and TWO of the HC-130Js were hit, and forced to use the agricultural airstrip as an emergency ditching site, where they crash-landed hard with their full loads, and were disabled. 🔹 The Iranians attempted to rush troops and firepower to the remote site in order to encircle the stranded aircraft and troops (according to the IRGC spokesman). 🔹 The US managed to rush 3 Airbus C-295s to the site to evacuate the stranded aircrew and troops. 🔹 As the IRGC spokesman himself claimed in his report from earlier today, the US used jet aircraft to bomb to smithereens the stranded HC-130Js and the off-loaded MH-6 helicopters. 🔹 After absorbing the shocking results of the failed mission, the US triumphantly claimed the pilot was rescued, the operation was a brilliant success, and the US has the greatest military in human history. Anyway, these are my thoughts for now. I reserve the right to amend them as more information becomes available.

@ArmchairW BTW it hasn't rained at Isfahan lately. So hard to get stuck in the mud.

In making sense of a complex event, it's often best to start with the facts and then work backwards from there. So what are we to make of this weekend in Iran? My theory is we just saw an attempt to seize Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium unravel. Down the rabbit hole.⬇️ Let's run through the timeline and the location of key events first: The evening of April 2nd, the Iranian military released a video of them shooting down a USAF aircraft. This was initially claimed as having occurred over the Persian Gulf, but apparently occurred near Isfahan. Wreckage corresponding to an F-15E of the 494th Tactical Fighter Squadron was recovered from a site south of Isfahan the morning of April 3rd, although geolocation of the very barren crash site took some time (fig. 1). The afternoon of April 3rd, a number of USAF HH-60s and an HC-130 fueler (!) were spotted operating further south and west in Iran, over Kogiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, as well as at least one A-10, an MQ-9 Reaper, and apparently an F-35. An antiaircraft battle developed and the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) HH-60s (fig.2) and an A-10 were damaged, with the A-10's pilot ejecting over the Persian Gulf. The HH-60s were reported as "damaged" and one was photographed trailing smoke. Reports emerged at that time that the pilot of the F-15E (which had crashed near Isfahan, although this was then-unclear!) had been rescued, while the WSO remained at large. Provincial authorities in Kohgiluyeh asked civilians to be on the lookout for an American aviator around this time and numerous photos of militia searching for him emerged. The next day passed relatively uneventfully. The evening of April 4th, however, there was a report of more helicopter activity slightly further north, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, accompanied by a washed-out photograph of an unknown helicopter flying very low on a very dark night (fig. 3). Later that night news emerged that the F-15Es WSO had been rescued... and that C-130s had been abandoned and scuttled at a forward base in the Isfahan area during the withdrawal of a company-size SOF force that had landed in the area, over 100 operators ostensibly having been sent to rescue one aviator. Photographs that emerged as dawn broke showed two burned-out C-130s and several destroyed MH-6 Little Bird SOF assault helicopters, in a scene reminiscent of the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw (fig. 4). A USAF C-295 tactical transport was caught on video around that time flying in Iran - presumably outbound - at extremely low altitude. So, what are we to make of this? First and foremost, the official story - that a huge direct-action SOF force landed near Isfahan with assault helicopters and heavy transport aircraft to rescue one fugitive airman - is nonsense. Not because the USAF won't go to extreme lengths to recover isolated personnel - it can, will, and did in this case - but because that's an absolutely nonsensical way to accomplish that mission. It's a totally inappropriate force package for a mission to go in, extract a single person from a remote area, and leave. Ergo this SOF task force was there on other business. So how were the pilots actually recovered? In all likelihood, exactly the way you would expect them to be recovered - by USAF PJs in long-range helicopters, under cover of darkness. The rescue force probably recovered the pilot from the Isfahan area late at night on April 2-3 and were caught in daylight as they exfiltrated, leading to the aforementioned antiaircraft battle the morning of April 3rd and a high-risk refueling over Iranian territory that was filmed by many Iranians on the ground, as well as a shot-down A-10 trying to clear a path for the helicopters to exfiltrate. The WSO was likely recovered from his hide site near Isfahan by HH-60 in a quiet and deliberate operation the night of April 4-5. One or two birds, in and out under cover of darkness - a far cry from the gung-ho stories currently being spun. So what about the SOF rodeo happening at the same time? Well, why was an F-15 flying downtown to Isfahan the evening of April 2nd to begin with? Probably because there was a huge direct-action raid planned in the Isfahan area for the night of April 4-5, likely going after enriched uranium at an underground facility in the region, and the Iranian air defenses around Isfahan weren't going to suppress themselves. The plan was likely to fly several MH-6 assault birds and a sizable force of operators via C-130 and C-295 to a forward staging area near Isfahan the evening of April 4th, hit a reported cache site or sites for enriched uranium, and try to make it out with the magic dust by daybreak on April 5th. In any event the USAF wasn't going to send transports somewhere it wouldn't send strike aircraft. So the Air Force cashed its check on claims of air superiority and in went the strike package the evening of April 2nd - and lo and behold one of the F-15Es went down because reports of the demise of the Iranian air defense network had been greatly exaggerated. Any rational planner would have scrubbed the SOF operation at this point because they'd lost control of the situation and the Iranian defenses had proven more effective than planned. We went ahead anyways and inserted the SOF task force the evening of April 4th. I strongly suspect that this force was immediately discovered by Iranian drones that would have been up and searching for this WSO, because five transport aircraft including at least two C-130s (about what would be required for a bunch of Little Birds and a company-sized element of operators with equipment) landing at a desert airstrip 50km from Isfahan (and in the same general area where the WSO was taking cover) would be pretty God-damn obvious to anything with thermals. Iranian troops immediately deployed and began converging, the task force probably took indirect fire, and the operational commander immediately aborted mission and retreated in the three remaining operational aircraft. Scuttling charges on delayed fuzes burned two C-130s and an unknown number of MH-6s that had been abandoned at the airstrip around dawn. The story that they were there to rescue the WSO was concocted at that time to cover the disastrously failed raid, as were logistically implausible claims that the task force had been rescued by three additional aircraft after the two C-130s got stuck on the LZ and were scuttled - perhaps to minimize the scale of the effort. Claims that a large battle took place appear to be similarly exaggerated - video has emerged of a single group of Iranian militia apparently killed in a drone strike, but nothing of the nonstop bombing and firefights that were rumored across Telegram all night. I remind the reader that the events of the last few days have proven quite conclusively that Iranians seem to have plenty of internet access to post photos and video when they actually have something worthwhile to film. I'd like to note that Hegseth fired General George - US Army Chief of Staff - on April 2nd, apparently because he just wasn't a good fit for the job and definitely not because he'd told him that this whole scheme was insane. It seems to me that the good General's advice should have perhaps been heeded.

@TheQuartering The only reason why it won't turn into a forever war is because America doesn't have the ammunition to continue it, and they can't conqueror it on the ground.

What are all these chicken little spergs going to do with their time when Iran doesn't turn into a forever war like they are hoping for? I am guessing go back to sperging about Israel maybe? It's so fascinating as someone in the space to look at how totally "organic" it all is
