@Dispropoganda Induce a false sense of security so that pilots will go deeper into Iran at lower altitudes?

Why did Iran wait almost 6 weeks before starting to shoot down US warplanes?
English
Pro-Tip: If they got 1 shootdown out of 20,000 sorties, America and Israel are the greatest military force in human history.

@LtTimMcMillan Given the topography of Iran, I'm fairly sure that helicopter crews will not have a good time there:

It’s all fun and games till the Pave Hawk shows up over the ridge line and a 19-year-old door gunner from bumf&ck, Mississippi opens up with the mini gun.

Intense IRGC/Basij search in the mountains in southern Iran looking for the second crew of the F-15E Strike Eagle shot down

@KurtSchlichter What about the Kuwaiti pilot that downed 3 US planes, in one sitting?

@OAlexanderDK When some US pilot gets beheaded on a Twitch live-stream, I wonder how much appetite the general public will have for this war.

Trump and his administration actually working on a Friday evening.
Not a good sign.

A senior White House official tells me the President’s national security team is gathered at the White House. Trump has been working in the Oval Office or Oval Dining Room all day receiving updates, the official adds. No public comments from Trump outside of social media posts

@leonard_bayard @McFaul They initially had 20 Sea Harriers, this with the Argentinian mainland some 400 miles distant. The Argentines had 24 Pucará aircraft stationed on the islands with more operating from the mainland.

Did we join the UK in support of their war against the Falkland Islands? no.
English
@leonard_bayard @McFaul They retook a set of islands 8000 miles distant from the UK and without significant air cover, something the US Navy called a "military impossibility".
English
@McFaul First off, if we did it would of ended faster and secondly the hapless Brits wouldn't have lost 2 destroyers and a frigate!
English
It looks like the situation is escalating in Iran for US armed forces. Lots of noise, but no official confirmation.
Wait and see.

@polpogg @VLS_Appreciator Not nearly as many as they had at their apex during the Age of Sail, though.

@VolvicCh @VLS_Appreciator Britain has many overseas territories that span the globe
English
Sure buddy, let’s see the availability rates of all that you mentioned.
Good Shepherd@HoyasFan07
France has 1 carrier. UK has 2. France has zero 5th gen (stealth) aircraft. The UK has a growing fleet. France has fewer SSNs compared to the UK and they're not as good. France's destroyer fleet is not equivalent to the RN's. enough with the OMG FRANCE hysteria plz
English
@polpogg @VLS_Appreciator Well, in fairness, they no longer have an empire that spans 3/4 of the globe
English
@VLS_Appreciator It is not the Royal Navy we all read about in history books, truly one of the biggest falls off of all time. It’s shameful.
English
@DrWadeSmith1 @KurtSchlichter That sounds oddly similar to the current GOP, though. You know, your president fucking kids, threatening to invade Greenland, the whole “trad-wife must stay in the kitchen and only be used for breeding”-thing.

It’s bizarre to me that old Europe thinks it can lecture and hector us into continuing the old style of alliance, where we carry the weight and they bitch at us into perpetuity.
I’ve served in NATO on several occasions. So have millions of other Americans. If you think you can talk us into going back to how it was after what our alleged allies just did, you are mistaken.

“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP
English
Man, Europeans are the worst POS in the world. A regime that very proudly killed tens of thousands of protesters, because they were fighting for their freedom and they will make an alliance with them.
They deserve Russia, Trump, China and much more and I am so thankful for not living there.

We should definitely take them up on this offer.

@glwatchdog @mr_mayank when I was a kid, I asked my Dad why no one had killed Hitler. For the life of me I just can't understand why no one has put a bullet between this Devil's eyes?
Anyone?

THIS IS HILARIOUS 🤣
🇮🇷 Iran at 3 PM — “We will turn Israel into a shithole country”
🇮🇱 Israel at 9 PM — Iranian missiles destroyed their sewage system, turning it into literal ‘Shithole’ 😭
Iran is literally toying with them now 😂

@VolvicCh @kc_nonni @Tom_Antonov None of these companies will ever be contracted for anything significant, the European population will riot before you take away their welfare state to fund the military, good luck.

@Mithrandir48 @TukiFromKL They didn't surrender when it was your scrawny neck on the line...

@TukiFromKL Maybe France just preemptively surrenders because that's their culture.

🚨 let me tell you why France is the only thing that matters in this headline..
Russia and China blocking a UN resolution to authorize military force against Iran.. nobody is surprised.. that's been the script for 20 years..
but France..
France is America's oldest ally.. they bankrolled the American Revolution.. they gave America the Statue of Liberty.. they are a founding NATO member..
and they just sided with Russia and China..
this happened once before.. February 14, 2003.. France's Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin stood at the UN Security Council and told America it would veto any authorization for the Iraq War.. the chamber applauded.. breaking a protocol that had never been broken before.. France called military force "not justified.."
America went in anyway.. 20 years.. $2 trillion.. 4,400 soldiers dead.. and when the dust settled Iran had more influence in Iraq than America did..
France was right..
tonight France called military action in the Strait unrealistic and blocked the resolution again..
the last time France said no in that chamber, history proved them right..
America went in anyway..
and we all know how that ended.
