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

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.

This actually isn’t 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.

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.

"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

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.

One thing that’s 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.

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?
