And....No pallets of cash being dropped today.

Past time to rid that nation of the regime that was funded by a previous administration. 

 

Look, 

Nobody wants this, but damn, that ayatollah just won't learn.

If we don’t deal with them now our children or grandchildren will have to. Same as immigration. The #1 name for newborn boys England is Muhammad. They’re probably already F’d. Trouble in the Middle East sound familiar ?

So starting another major war and creating yet another refugee crisis is the answer for this?  In what world does that make any sense?

Let’s pretend for a minute that the US is successful (whatever that may be) in removing this regime, what happens then?  It’s pretty clear that they don’t have anyone lined up to take over, so now we’ve essentially thrown the country into civil war as various factions try to take power and fill the vacuum, does that seem like a good way to solve a refugee crisis?

There won't be "boots on the ground" and there won't be strikes against civilians...most all infrastructure pertaining to civilians isn't in the cross-hairs, either. Nope. In-fact, when it's all said and done...we're likely gonna go in and offer help reconstituting their already thoroughly worn out civilian infrastructure. Namely...they're out of water and their water infrastructure is failing. They need help there...with infrastructure...lots of help. Help for The People of Iran, that is. Seems the Mullahs prioritized their Nuke program over the needs of their people. Go figure. 

Everything needed to remove their weapons programs...Nuke, Bio-Chem (NBC) and various conventional sytsems...and Ballistic and Cruise Missiles/Delivery Systems...Drones...some military facilities...ports...key logistics/major distribution centers...and maybe a few Mullahs...

Everything needed to hit all that stuff is already in theater. From reaching waaaaay down underground to the elimination of large energy sector infrastructure...again, all that's needed is...

In the neighborhood.

Over the last few weeks, Iran has been attempting to harden the targets mentioned including covering tunnel entrances with dirt/earth and attempting to add earth to previously bombed facilities from op's like Midnight Hammer and the 12 day ass kicking that Israel gave them before that.

In the so-called "talks", where all they're willing to talk about is their nuke program...well...it's obvious that they're only trying to buy time. They want all sanctions lifted for cutting back their nuke program.."cutting back"...and no inspection guarantees are offered, yet...so, uh, no.

Our people want them to stop making and get rid of their ballistic missiles and some other weps-systems, cease all proxy activity...and we want their Nuke energy programs cut to international medical standards with COMPLETELY OPEN & REGULARLY SCHEDULED inspections. 

And all of that's gonna run out, the talks...that is, around the end of next-week. 

By that time all the Hornets & Growlers, Lightnings, Raptors, Eagles (Eagle II?), BUFFS, Falcon/Vipers, UAVS, UCAVS...Lancers? Spirits? ...well, you get the picture...and all the other systems and support ac will be on mission and in the air (Actually, seems that they already are and the Ford is in the Med to go along with the Lincoln...which has been hanging around for a while). Btw, anyone heard anyone talk about where the SSGNs are...? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? 

Anyone in the media mention anything about attack subs? Seems there's no reporting on certain weps systems this time?

I see that most the "near-by" THAAD systems have gone "mobile". Nice. People stationed "in harms way" have been moved & some were sent home. Again, Nice! 

Those numerous cruisers that are over there...they're the Anti-Ballistic variety of cruiser. Cha-Ching! 

We've got 2 Carrier Strike Groups...and ships representing...hell...how many fleets? 

As far as preparations go... 

Over the last few weeks, more C17s than you can count carrying more tonnage than you'd believe...have been delivering the goods. From "thru-out" Europe and The Med, Jordan to Bahrain, The Kingdom to Diego Garcia...systems are in-place and on-line. Never-mind all the seas systems used to stock up the facilities in the region over the last six months...the 5th Fleet is based in the region...

Sadly, I don't see how Iran DOESN'T do their usual stupid shit. Like I said, they're seemingly trying to buy time...well...

It's time.

Time for the Mullahs to go.

It's time give the people of Iran a chance. The death-toll of the recent uprisings is now reported to be as high as 30,000 with another 30,000+ "disappeared".

But, hey, I could be wrong.

BDP

 - Can you name a single conflict where targeted strikes did not end up killing significant numbers of civilians?  Even our supposedly quick and clean action in Venezuela took out over 100 people, many civilians.  There is absolutely no reason to think civilians will be spared in a bombing campaign, and Trump himself even threatened significant civilian casualties in a recent post.

Here’s a couple: Midnight Hammer & the bombing of Qasem Soleimani

-Every one of our allies in the region is asking us not to start this war besides Israel.  Turkey says don't do it, UK says don't do it (they won't even let us fly out of their bases for this), UAE says don't do it, etc.  Nobody else is on board with this because of how destabilizing it will be.  

Sure, this is what’s said in the media…meanwhile….several of these countries host our current operations…gladly.

I’m not in total disagreement with your concern (frustration) over our debt from these actions and our constant need to be The World Police…but, we are in disagreement over what we seem to think we did or didn’t know about the Iranian Nuke program and/or what they were/are really up to.

I’m stoked that you’re as familiar with these things as you are. We’re just seeing it from different perspectives.

Judging by pretty much every single other Us intervention in the Middle East, this will not turn out to be better for the Iranian people.

Operation Epic Fury 

Tabriz, Urmia, Karaj, Kermanshah, Ilam, Dezful, Busehr, Kohorramabad, Tehran (I believe the Khamenei compound), Qom, Lorestan, Isfahan, Kharg Island, Kangan, Shiraz, Asaluyeh, Minab & Chabahar are the identified target areas, so far.

The types targets we talked about earlier have been hit and looks like this is a multi-day takedown of the Iranian Military Industrial Complex and all things IRGC…most notably deployable Air, Naval and Missile assets…especially Ballistics. What remains of thier missile launchers must be atop the targeting list, also. 

Top Iranian “Death to America” types are on the list, too. Nice. 

Judging by the targeting package and the number of Tomahawks they’re saying they’ve used…the SSBN question may already have an answer…and it’s also capable of telling other fleet members of submerged threats…which is nice.

Looks like we’re gonna “reach out and touch” this threat from fairly afar. No need to get in too close. Looks like we’re operating from the Arabian Sea, the Med and land based ops that aren’t too close or that’re not gonna be easy for Iran to target. Apparently we’ve pulled some surface assets back and away from any potential IRGC threat.

Iran has already started taking pot-shots at Israel…some of which appears to be from their proxies…which is what this is all about.

When…if…Iran takes shots at us or our assets…they’ll be giving us intel on what to hit next. There are known assets that Iran, it’s allies (including Russia) and it’s proxies have…or had…in Europe. Those have been getting “taken out” over the last few weeks…the ones that’re known…that is.

About Spain & France…they’re too late to the party. They’ve sold their souls to these people. They’re already getting a ration of shit from their NATO family for their complacency with these terrorists.

3-5 days of house cleaning should make a huge dent in the Mullahs. Israel probably has intel assets on the ground cleaning up some of the Mullah-esque leadership.

“This Terrorist Regime can NEVER have a Nuclear Weapon.”

As soon as these terrorist fucks started producing more than “5%” nuke fuel…well, the writing was on the wall.

Dude, we don’t have to agree on this stuff. Not a problem for me.

I’m not in the same camp as some of you when it comes to a lot these things.

Just like Gulf 1: you can go in and get it done…and leave. That one stuck with me. 

Also, for those of us that know how important Iran’s centrifuges were…Midnight Hammer wrecked the living shit out of their nuke productivity and at minimal cost.

But, to your point: A few posts back I posted what was going on and what was likely to go down…

And…here we are.

As for who knows what’s what in the ME? Apparently we have different perspectives. There’s nothing worng with that in my eyes. Besides, with both keep our powder dry for the same reasons. That’s good enough for me. 👍🏼

When people say Iran is “weeks away” from a nuclear weapon I always wonder if they’re referencing the report from this week, the one from 2009, or the one from 1995 because it’s kind of hard to keep the timeline straight.
