It seemed pretty outlandish, but so were the initial reports about the Twin Towers on 911. As such, I thought it would be useful to put it out there and have folks review (and possibly shoot it down), rather than ignoring/hiding it. After all, I did headline/label it properly.

Trump doesn't care what Putin does.

If that's not overly apparent then you're not paying attention.

If it HAD happened, you'd never hear about it.

Why would a US carrier be transporting tanks? There aren't enough of them available to transport planes, which is kinda what they were designed to do.

What we DO know is that U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf region have sustained a LOT of damage.

The Pentagon has kept it secret. Active personnel sent photos to news organizations.

Photos show widespread damage at US sites from Iranian attacks

Images showing widespread damage to multiple US sites in the Middle East from Iranian strikes have been obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS.

The photos, provided by active military personnel, show a severed radar jet, flattened trailers and severely damaged buildings.

The undated photos were taken at US bases and sites in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

@#7 ... Why would a US carrier be transporting tanks? ...

Yeah, this seems to be just a reposting of a made-up meme posted back in the spring (see the link in #4).

Unconfirmed because it didn't happen.


Those gray planes look like bad AI.
