Probably first major US loss of the conflict when it comes to ballistic missile defense. One of TPY-2 radars belonging to the THAAD battery deployed to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan seems to have been struck. The full radar set goes over $200M.

At least with the Israelis it is pretty clear that they are trying to destroy the Iranian state
I also have two names but my parents had the decency to separate them into first and middle
We bombed them. To do what? So we can bomb them. To do what? To facilitate strikes. To do what? To enable kinetic operations. To do what? To shape the battlefield. To do what? So we can bomb them.
So Ukraine helps the US beat Shaheds and the US helps Russia kill Ukrainians.
Lol, lmao
This actually isnβt surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here
Okay absolutely do not take this as a defense of Noem but dogs betray people all the times. Dogs have killed people. Innocent people. You absolutely do not have to pretend that every dog is a saint in order to criticize how Noem handled her dog.
CENTCOM seeing a meaningless number you can put in a PowerPoint

Man, why the fuck are we bombing Iran.
Bystander president!
Anyone who claims that Israel is an apartheid state has drunk the Far Left Kool-Aid and has no idea what they are talking about. This kind of irresponsible rhetoric is music to the ears of the Iranian regime, Hezbollah, Hamas and all other radical Islamic terrorists. This is slander of the Jewish people and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the dynamic Israel faces. So much for Gavin Newsom being considered more mainstream as a potential nominee for the Democrat party in 2028. Any would-be candidate that repeats this slanderous rhetoric is completely unqualified to be commander in chief.

βwe do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court.β
Not only do people want to live in towers but the more towering they are the more they will pay for the privilege
These statistics literally mean fuck all because they are measuring efficiency, not effectiveness
How
"We're fighting to win the war"
We are a week in and absolutely nobody has any idea what the political aim we're attempting to achieve is. Win what? Literally what are we fighting to achieve at the moment.
I have absolutely no idea atm if we are close to winning because I have no idea what we want
How it started / how it's going
Every time I forget I follow this bot I get slapped in the face with it with some cursed headline
This also helps produce really sane and normal opinions when crudely mapping Christian sectarian preferences onto an often bitter and complicated sectarian relationship driven by entirely different disputes and grievances which your audience has no understanding of.
Oh God the chance of a Cuba invasion just keeps rising.
One thing thatβs always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.
Joe Biden earned far more media fury for ending a war than Trump will for starting one.
But in the future, will the Chinese, Indians, and others be comfortable with the U.S. Navy as the main guarantor of Gulf stability? Keep in mind that for ideological and geopolitical reasons, the United States may from time to time find itself at odds with suppliers who have perfectly good relations with other customers. Will the United States be able to maintain the special quality of its relations with Saudi Arabia in the future?
