I propose a toast

the XCOM military doctrine

I think the Wile E. Coyote hypothesis seems more plausible on this one, I can't see any movement at all in the first video.

Given the israeli propensity to just pack their things and fuck off back to their original homes in Europe when shit hits the fan, I think it would be a very effective strategy if Iran were to do that. israel might be the one exception to the rule that aerial bombardment alone does not effect regime change, as long as Iran bombs everything except for Ben Gurion International Airport.

Ah shit, I misunderstood, thought you were talking about Captain America in the uniform. 641k will definitely buy a former SEAL's arm breaking skills and then some

I bet he hates israel for very different reasons than I do

Per Sky News:

A "Shahed-like drone" which targeted an RAF base in Cyprus was not launched from Iran, says a Ministry of Defence spokesperson.

Funny how they get struck right after refusing to join the war. By the same kind of drone that Iran denies having used against the Saudi Aramco plant, no less.

Thanks for the info! Your insights here have inspired me to start an Obsidian notebook on military munitions and logistics so that I can grow up and be a smart thing-knower like you

don't worry, soon enough I'll be making up for the lost urea production by pissing on israeli and Amerikkan soldiers' graves

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. You said 276-348 munitions over 4 nights. Do you think stocks are as much of a concern for these munitions as they are for THAAD and Arrow 3 batteries?

Capitol police and apparently a senator (I don't know who that is) just broke a Marine's forearm/hand as they tried to forcibly remove him for shouting that no one wants to fight for israel.

BIG NASTY CONTENT WARNING for this one, you can see and hear his hand snapping twice at around 0:54 and 1:07

I mean, fuck the Marines, but I really hope this is what the US Armed Forces' morale looks like or gets to look like across the board.

Do strategic bombers always drop their entire munition loadout during a mission, or can they drop bombs selectively? I imagine each sortie is really expensive so I guess they're expected to do as much damage as possible before returning, right?

I have two questions for our comrades who are more well-informed on military assets and related matters: by now I've already understood that Iran can deplete the Epstein Coalition's anti-missile defenses and make this war too costly to maintain. A path towards victory does not hinge on Iran actually being able to defeat the Fourth Reich in combat, but rather on forcing them into a politically humiliating and costly retreat, which would signify a failure in their stated goals.

However, what about airstrikes? There's no shortage of American assets in the region, as we've seen by following the month-long buildup. As far as I know, munitions delivered by airplanes are way cheaper than cruise missiles and interceptors, and last year the US and Israel proved to have seemingly foolproof ways to neutralize Iranian anti-air defenses and fly unimpeded over Iranian territory, right? What's keeping them from just establishing air superiority now, suppressing defenses and just dropping bombs 24/7 on Tehran?

Surely that strategy would be much more sustainable than burning through their Tomahawk inventory, correct? What am I missing?

Second question, but this one is really not very serious, more like a nagging thought I can't get rid of and I want to gauge how thick my tinfoil hat is. Please tell me I'm going insane. Feel free to ignore my paranoid ass on this one. Here it is: It was said here that France's nuclear doctrine is to go nuclear in case a carrier is sunk. What are the odds that the Charles de Gaulle gets false-flagged as a deliberate nuclear escalation? I know, alarmist and stupid question, but is it though? I wouldn't doubt any kind of perfidy and criminal behavior coming from israelis.

France could also be in on it, and judging from the EU's apparent amnesia about Greenland and instant willingness to bend the knee as soon as the US got into another war, I'd say that a carrier getting killed seems like an acceptable price to pay for a guarantee that LNG and oil will continue to flow, although arguably nuclear escalation seems like it would be an even worse problem, like scratching an itch with a shotgun blast. How paranoid am I being right now?

I mean, I can see no better time to ask for a raise. Good on them, respect the hustle. Bleed them dry.
