I know radars in Qatar have been hit. What a mess.

This is utter bullshit. They did no such thing.

The whole β€œdidn’t pick up survivors” angle is off-base, as I keep saying. Submarines on operations don’t generally do that & it’s been an accepted part of international law since Nuremberg.

But this detail, that the USN was *on the same ex* as this ship, makes the attack cowardly and reprehensible.

Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like l'm 5.

Can’t overemphasize this. They spent decades saying the US was thirsty for Iranian blood and would conspire with Israel to destroy them, and used that to justify their oppression and militarism. And guess what!

I have targeting courses as well. This is just brutal.

More on THAAD…

SECDEF would have us believe US tech is so superior that things like this are impossible.

What air defence doing?

Consequences #13.

This is a bigger deal than it may appear. Trump is trying to spin his idiotic Golden Dome ℒ️ into something tangible. If it’s true that THAAD has been hit, this hits the very foundations of Trump’s scheme.

The targeting process is hard….

Who needs those pesky ROE anyway?

There are other reports that the school was struck multiple times.

If this is the case, it is criminal negligence.

It's a reason not to include throwaways wheel you're doing a decision brief to the dumbest people on the planet.

Iraq's first lady, Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, a political/humanitarian figure from a prominent (& very political) Sulimaniyah-rooted Kurdish family closely tied to the PUK, coming in hot with a free history lesson for people who think Iraqi Kurds might be unquestioningly game for more US bait-and-switch.

What makes Washington think that the Kurds will be in this for anyone but themselves?

I'm sure the Turks are overjoyed too...

These are so awful that most Western countries have ceased using them.

Sounds like a "try to boss around Canada" job... Good luck with that.

Are we in a sitcom? Really??

I keep saying. Yes, the US is attacking an enemy of free Ukraine's, but that doesn't make it a friend.

They'll run out of viable targets long before then and will be reduced to dropping dumb Mk 82s on car dealerships.
