@StephenPunwasi Dirty bombs?

FYI a nuclear suicide vest isn’t feasible due to basic physics. Nuclear explosions require critical mass, which means slamming the particles together. It needs space, so containers are large & heavy. This isn’t limited by tech. It’s limited by physics and reality.

@dg_sailingfan @israelnewspulse Wow. I can’t believe they didn’t consult with you first

@israelnewspulse You have no proof of this. US would never allow Ghalibaf or Araghchi been a target of Israel.

ELIMINATED | Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament has been eliminated.

@foardeetou @ImtiazMadmood @MarioNawfal F’ing millennial

@ImtiazMadmood @CMY1952 @MarioNawfal oh. wow. amazing.. we took out their steel plants paid $4.25/gal for gas today but thats great Iran won’t have steel

All three of Iran's largest steel plants were struck simultaneously last night. Mobarakeh. Esfahan. Khuzestan. 70% of Iran's steel output. Gone in one night. Iran built its steel industry specifically to survive sanctions. Israel hit the sanction hedge. - @MarioNawfal

@Ross__Hendricks @SantiagoAuFund I accept your terms of surrender. Next time bring receipts instead of hyperbole

Hmm how about virtually every military base in the Middle East destroyed? Global energy crisis unleashed? Complete failure of our missile defense systems to protect allies? Running out of missiles and strategic oil reserves because we completely failed to plan for the Iranian response? Should I continue?

For those who think the U.S. does not have a plan with regards to Iran, pls answer this one question: If the U.S. has no plan, then why did Iran spend the last 40 years preparing to counter the U.S.'s plan...?

@Ross__Hendricks @SantiagoAuFund Lol. Swing and a miss. Expected. We’ll write off your undocumented rants as simple TDS.

@MDSuth @SantiagoAuFund So a non reply, the point stands

@Ross__Hendricks @SantiagoAuFund Please please show me how it is that we’re losing. And where you get your secret intel from. Throwing out “most spectacular defeat since Vietnam” has troll written all over it

@MDSuth @SantiagoAuFund I do this crazy thing called thinking for myself based on objective reality, rather than outsourcing my brain to the TV anchors and talking heads But keep trusting their talking points and “plans” - lemme know how it works out!

@shanaka86 Good AI writing. Now tell it to write how Iran can’t win w no one in charge and dwindling arms.

BREAKING: Iran just damaged one of America’s 16 remaining E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Boeing 707 airframe that the E-3 is built on has not been manufactured since 1992. There is no production line. There are no new airframes. The replacement, the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, will not arrive until 2028 at the earliest and has already slipped a year per Air and Space Forces Magazine. Each E-3 is worth $537 to $596 million in 2026 dollars. There are 16 left in the entire US Air Force inventory. Six were deployed to the Middle East for this war, nearly 40 percent of the global fleet per Army Recognition, leaving Alaska and the Indo-Pacific critically exposed. Iran hit one with a ballistic missile. On the ground. Parked on the flight line. Not in the air. Not in combat. On the apron at PSAB per satellite imagery confirmed by Defence Security Asia and Air and Space Forces Magazine. The strike also damaged several KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft, five in some reports per WSJ and Reuters. Ten to twelve US troops were wounded, two seriously, with no fatalities per AP and NYT. The KC-135s are described as repairable. The E-3 sustained what officials call “notable” to “significant” damage. Some assessments say “possibly inoperable.” Here is why this matters more than any single missile strike in the war. The E-3 AWACS is the flying brain of American air operations. Its rotating radar dome tracks threats from surface to stratosphere across 250 miles. It coordinates every fighter, tanker, bomber, and intelligence aircraft in the theatre. In this war, the AWACS tracks Iranian Shahed drones, coordinates F-35 strike packages, and manages the interceptor network already burning through 18 months of Patriot production every four days. Lose one AWACS and you lose a command node that cannot be replaced at any price on any timeline. The E-7 replacement was cancelled by the Pentagon, reinstated by Congress, and will not fly until 2028. Sixteen former four-star Air Force generals wrote publicly that the gap cannot be filled by space-based sensors. And now one of the 16 is sitting damaged on a Saudi flight line because Iran parked a ballistic missile next to it. The arithmetic of irreplaceability connects to every thread in this war. The US fired 943 Patriot interceptors in four days and cannot produce them fast enough. It raided Swiss F-35 funds to cover the gap. Every F-35 flying over Iran carries 418 kilograms of Chinese-processed rare earth materials that cannot be sourced elsewhere for five to ten years. Ukraine is offering $2,100 interceptors because the $3.9 million ones are running out. And now an aircraft that literally cannot be rebuilt has been damaged by a weapon that costs a fraction of its value. This is not a war of attrition. This is a war against irreplaceability itself. Iran does not need to match American technology. It needs to damage things America cannot replace. A Patriot that is fired is gone. A Swiss account that is raided is empty. An AWACS that is hit on the ground is a hole in the sky that nothing can fill until 2028. The war is eating the things that cannot be eaten twice. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@zerohedge Amazing that Iran is firing upon the country of Mecca.

US Suffers Heavy Casualties In Iranian Strike On Saudi Base As Houthis Enter War With Missile Launches On Israel zerohedge.com/geopolitical/m…

@michaelgwaltz @SpencerGuard @TheEconomist Iran has a lot of new submarines now—. So there’s that.

Great analysis @TheEconomist - clearly you didn’t bother to ask Iran’s Air Force, Air Defense, Navy, Rocket Forces, Ministry of Intelligence, cadre of nuclear scientists, last three IRGC commanders or the Ayatollah how it’s going….

@visegrad24 No one gives a Houti

Today, the Houthis joined the war by starting to fire ballistic missives on Israel too. They released an official statement saying they are joining Iran and Lebanon in the war against Israel.

@Ross__Hendricks @SantiagoAuFund Dang. What network are you watching

@SantiagoAuFund I just want to see some evidence that this so-called “plan” exists and is working So far all we see is the most spectacular military defeat since Vietnam At what point do you just take the L on “trusting the plan”

You’re realizing finally that it’s a game with different rules. All thy care about is power and money. And they have both whether they’re in the majority or not. Now they’re just finding which path is easiest for them - and it usually is the consumer/victim path, not the creator / freedom path.

I've tried rewriting this to be less angry… Screw that. I'm fucking sick and tired of the GOP pretending like they can't do anything. WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN "WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING"??? Don't any of you realize what's at stake here? Do any of you actually give a damn about the country or where Democrats will take it once they gain power? Are you not paying attention AT ALL to what's happening? If Democrats win the midterms... it's over. Fucking done. No DOGE cuts. No Executive Orders codified. No opportunity to cut legislative regulations. None of it. And guess what happens after that? They start passing bills. They actually do everything you won't do, for God-only-knows-what-reason... They nuke the filibuster DAY ONE. They start ramming through insanity. Transgender plays in Uganda are back. Elmo in Afghanistan comes back. NPR/PBS funding is back. ICE gets defunded. ALL OF THIS IS ON THE TABLE AND YOU DO... …NOTHING TO TRY TO STOP THE ABSOLUTE SHIT STORM THAT IS ABOUT TO BEFALL YOU???? YOU CAN’T EVEN PASS THE SAVE ACT SO AT THE VERY LEAST WE CAN HAVE ELECTION INTEGRITY??? YOU WON'T DEFUND THE FUCKING TALIBAN???? WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE GOP????!!!!!! The playbook is obvious. It's been staring you in the face this entire time. Yet you are content to ONCE AGAIN TAKE LOOOOOOONG vacations and make bullshit tweets, Fox News appearances and cringe-ass TikTok videos and do podcasts blaming Democrats. WE DO NOT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTENT. NOT ONE!!! We want you to deliver results. That's ALL WE HAVE EVER WANTED FROM YOU. Do any of you seriously think you'll win again without Trump on the ballot to drag your sorry asses over the finish line? You think you'll be able to come back home and look us in the eye and make up excuses for why you didn't deliver? No way. Maybe that worked for you in the past, but not this time. The stakes are far, far too high. Stop talking about what you’d do, “if only you had the power.” You have power. Right now. Today. And if you’re too cowardly to use it… then STOP ASKING FOR MORE OF IT FROM US. “We can’t do anything” is no longer a valid excuse for your pathetic performance, it’s just a confession that you don't care enough to try. It’s you admitting you’re fine with losing. You’re fine with the country going to hell in the hands of the Left. Would you PLEASE fight for us by actually PASSING LAWS???? Use every lever you’re allowed to touch and make Democrats explain, on record, why they’re voting the way they’re voting. Put clean, single-issue bills on the floor and make them vote yes or no. Make them OWN it. If your own GOP leadership blocks it? Then NAME them. LOUDLY. Don't let them hide. Be relentless. All gas, no breaks until the midterms. I am literally watching you treat the most important moment in politics like a content calendar... ...and I’m telling you right now, our collective patience for this crap is GONE. And Trump won't be there to save you either when it's election time and you ask us for votes and we ask you for your record. None of us are asking for perfection. We’re literally just asking for ANY PROOF AT ALL that you care about America enough to save her. Deliver results. Or don’t be surprised when the people you keep taking for granted stop showing up to rescue you from yourself.

@farzyness Someone will also be the gatekeeper. Someone always is.

@Team2Trading Amazing. Thanks bro

Progress report. Past few weeks have been harder but we’re still locked in and climbing 🚀 Like I said… any market conditions 💪

@growthrapidly It’s almost like stock price may not be related to performance only! 🤣🙄

$SOFI keeps executing quarter after quarter. Yet, the stock price declined from $30 to $16. I have never seen such a mispricing in the market!

@SquawkCNBC This guys analysis was weak. It ended just as he was getting to falsify his own point. Wish Joe had called him out earlier

"Putting military pressure on Iran hasn't worked before and is not likely to work this time," says Col. Jack Jacobs of the Middle East conflict. cnbc.com/video/2026/03/…

@ScottPresler Republicans will get so mad that they’ll vote in democrats? Thats so stupid - but if true then what are we even doing here

Just was contacted by a big GOP donor wondering why the Senate would go on recess when the DHS isn’t funded & there’s no clear plan to pass the SAVE America Act. I hope our Republican Senate realizes: if you don’t pass the SAVE America Act, you will lose the majority.

@Osint613 Death to who?

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: We have a truly catastrophic experience with American diplomacy.

@StockSavvyShay They were riding Bitcoin. Have they decoupled?

$HOOD authorizing a $1.5B buyback while sitting as the S&P 500’s worst-performing stock of 2026 is a strong signal of confidence from Vlad and the team. As CFO Shiv Verma put it, Robinhood sees itself as “a generational company with a massive long-term opportunity.”
