Oh this new mouse, I dont think this is the read thread. But still. --------. I call it.

"Today, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) concluded that Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado has violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) by permitting male students to access female bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations, and to compete in female sports.

OCR concluded that Jefferson County's policies allowing access to intimate facilities and participation in sports based on gender identity' discriminates against females by denying them safety, dignity, and equal access to educational programs and activities. OCR received athletic rosters from Jefferson County indicating that male students may occupy up to 61 roster positions on girls' sports teams in the District."

and now the 82nd Airborne is being redeployed. Looks like we may just get a ground war after all.

Literally sleep, is my understanding.

Surprisingly divisive talking point for the MAGA crowd, but what are they going to do, vote Democrat?

"There are no longer any leaders in Iran to talk to about war."

The 11th Marine Expeditionary Unity and Boxer ARG have been rerouted to the Middle East.

This is where you're too depressed to laugh at the black humor... but...

Trump is striving for legitimacy among his base by waging a total air dominance campaign over Iran. The only time that's worked without a ground invasion was when we firebombed Japan so thoroughly one attack killed more people than either nuclear bomb.

Iran is striving for legitimacy among their population by shooting ballistic missiles at civilian Jews. That's never worked.

Another day, still no breaking. US/Israeli bombs Tabriz, Bandar-e Anzali, Tehran killing IRGC spokesman Naini and more Basij checkpoints, gunfights in Tehran ended, locals seem to have gotten revenge on whatever militia squad they were looking for and went home, strikes at Ahwaz and Shiraz. Saudi takes "falling debris" damage to a warehouse at Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery, fire contained.

Iran shoots ballistic missiles at Jewish neighborhoods instead of Gulf oil infrastructure.

Another day of mostly one sided strikes awaits us.

Law? Who cares, amiright?

The UFC event. He was signing autographs.

Imagine getting in trouble at work because you didn't get your bosses autograph.

"We did that to Iran TWICE"

Are we just counting the nuclear site raids and this air war? Don't forget that time we invaded them with helicopters and it went very poorly. There's also that time the Allies invaded them in WW2. There's that whole Shah thing...

I'll do this for you. Let me summon all my sympathy for 17% of Qatari LNG exports being temporarily interrupted.

Speaking of Qatar, whatever happened to them expelling the Hamas leadership? "It's complicated".

We get it. You're heavily invested in oil & gas stocks lol. Should have bought futures.

This is what our Israeli & Gulf regional allies wanted. They knew what would happen. Do you rip off the bandaid before or after that same regime is nuclear capable?

It's one of the most lopsided military matchups in history. They're not even facing ground forces, just bombardment. Iranian regime's only hope is to survive long enough while being annoying enough that the US will get bored and go home. The problem with that calculation is it presumes we have a normal president, not a ------- lunatic for the next 3 years.

The warthog is the ultimate stealth aircraft.
I pity any Iranian troops in the crosshairs of an A-10. Those things are frightening.

It's funny when the bots post. "F-35 SHOT DOWN!" lol. Nope.

USAF & IDF bombing Isfahan, Lengeh, Bandar Lengeh, maneuvering Iranian ships in the Caspian Sea, Kharg Island, Tehran, Karaj, Borazjan. and that's just the last 4 hours. A-10s and Apaches operating uncontested over Ahwaz.

Iran hits Haifa refineries 8 hours ago. Two fires extinguished.

but Iran's military isn't defeated. Not without the same level of viciousness we unleashed on the Japanese. Should have been content with decapitating their surrogates, destroying the centrifuges, regime change is a fools errand.

If you want to sink a US carrier, your best hope is a fuel cell hybrid diesel-electric submarine and torpedos. Preferably nuclear torpedos. Active sonar doesn't care how quiet you are, and the US has autonomous manta ray submarines and other exotic weapon systems hunting you down. The odds are not good.

They don't have long range, self-guided cruise missiles that can strike a US carrier from 1000 miles away.

They have medium range ballistic missiles. The Circular Error Probable, the measurement of accuracy, of a Shahab-3 MRBM is 2.5 kilometers. The most recent MRBM, of which they had very few before this started, was based on a Chinese DF-15. The CEP on that is 300 meters, but it only goes 800km. To even attempt to hit a carrier you'd have to establish a sensor kill chain that can provide real time telemetry to the missile. If the missile is too fast, it is enveloped by an ionic sheath, so there's no comms going in or out. If the missile isn't fast enough, it's intercepted. If your kill chain sensors are detected, they're killed and you can't aim anything.

Invest in companies that make boring machines.

No F-35 was shot down over Iran.

A-10s and AH-64D helicopters are now operating within Iranian airspace.

Watch out, Sitzkreig. You just made Twoothy's naughty list.

I'm sure he's really, really upset that the world temporarily lost 4% of the LNG that goes to Asia. This affects him greatly.

Cause. Reads like years minimum.

It should. 3 - 5 years. 10+ on bigger projects. They're going to have to prioritize strategic resilience over having the worlds most awesome waterslides and motorsports facilities in Lusail.

Sitzkrieg: Oh, Master of War.

Effete: Oh, Russian Propagandist who's magically always on the anti-American end of everything and makes demonstrably false claims all the time. I will give you some insight, because nobody else here knows how to watch a live map.

Months more of airstrikes. More single digit "waves" from the IRGC. Once in awhile a Shaheed or missile will get through and damage something. More dead civilians, 99.99% of those in Iran. The Gulf States counter Iranian drones by infrastructure relocation and hardening. Qatar will make strategic investments in relocating their LNG infrastructure to the opposite side of their peninsula so it becomes defensible.
