Iran War

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Have we won yet?

It depends on the War of Choice calculations. This is the utter disrespect we've come to expect from the lifelong cowardly "bone spurs" Chickenhawk in Chief:

"Trump exploded and lost his temper..." is about as much news as "the sun came up this morning"
But it never occurs to him that if one thing isn't working, maybe he should try something else. If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

We wish. :twisted:


Grain of salt, of course:

Iran Stumps Trump! IRGC Destroys 3 US F-35 Jets In Ballistic Missile Attack On Jordan Al-Azraq Base?

IRGC says in response to a US attack on Qeshm island that killed two parents and their child, aerospace fighters targeted a ramp and maintenance shed at the al-Azraq airbase, which hosts US F-35 fighter jets, with several ballistic missiles, state news agency Fars reports. IRGC said that it had completely destroyed three F-35 aircraft and caused “heavy damage” to three others.
Opps. Fwiw, the F-35 costs around $100 million.

Warfare certainly looks different in the 21st century.

I actually remember seeing that when it came out. I even posted something about it on here in some thread months ago regarding how the "casualties" had to report to a disintegrator of the computer says they've been hit. I was about 14 then and I remember how it made me think of Vietnam since that was on the news every night. And usually Life magazine would print photos of the weeks' Vietnam casualties. I remember one week there were several pages of photos.

Does anyone know if having "concepts of a plan" is better than establishing "perimeters of a deal?" Or are they equally meaningless babble?
