🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump said "air superiority." He didn't say "air supremacy." That word choice matters more than you think. These are two very different military classifications. Air superiority means you have the advantage and can operate without major interference, but the enemy can still fight back. Air supremacy means the enemy has essentially zero ability to contest the skies. The U.S. has air superiority over Iran. It can conduct strikes, fly rescue missions, and operate across the country. But Iran shot down an F-15E, hit an A-10, struck two rescue helicopters, and forced the destruction of two MC-130s and two Little Birds in a single weekend. That's not supremacy. That's contested airspace where operations succeed but come with real cost. Trump was careful with his language in the rescue announcement. He said "air dominance and superiority," not supremacy. Supremacy is what the U.S. had over Venezuela. Aircraft moved freely because there was nothing left to contest them. Over Iran, every sortie still carries risk. The rescue proved that American forces can operate deep inside Iran and win. It also proved that winning comes with a price tag of downed jets, damaged helicopters, and $200 million in aircraft destroyed on the ground. Air superiority means you can fly. It doesn't mean you fly for free. Source: WSJ / MilNet

🚨 Alex Jones and Robert Barnes call for an internal coup of President Trump. Jones "How do we 25th amendment his ass?" Barnes "Tackle Trump and let him pretend he is President" These are the people telling you you're not America First 🤡

Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet nonsense claiming, falsely, that the US was trying to kill the then-lost US pilot. Aged rather poorly, I think it's fair to say.
