How does this thing in Iran end?

Why didn’t they announce when Trump landed safely, then have the plane with the reporters on it leave, if they thought it was a serious threat?

Too funny, the usual cast of characters chirping in.

They should also head over to the "pool talk" thread.....it's a page turner.

Carry on.

There’s been some “musical chairs” @ the top of the Iranian leadership/IRGC and this includes an entirely new “consultant to the invisible Ayatollah”…that no one’s seen since he got bombed.

Also, Iran is demanding everything…including the kitchen sink…in the ongoing “negotiations; so, it looks like we’re headed toward more Boom, Boom, Out Go The Lights.

That strategy has really worked so far 🤦🏼

Some of us post what we’re reading and seeing from the perspective of what’s going on…

And then there’s The Gallery of the Syndrome Sufferers and their ever continuing bitch-fest.

🤣

What i hear from doh, military and people that have ex co workers/friends that get to sit in on the situation room conferences have been consistently saying the same thing. 

Put major pressure on them early. Clamp down on their finances and try to make a deal. That keeps the democrat retards that no matter what trump does from calling him a war monger and how he went in and just leveled iran and never gave the wonderful and humanitarian leadership in iran a chance for negotiation and peace. Most peole dont know but this was planed out when the forst time we bombed the fuck out of their facilities. (Which I told people here for shits and giggles it was going on already before it happened including a few interestingships that went over this time.) 

Then as negotiations break down as we all knew would, slowly turn their neighbors against them and towards US and hopefully Israel and expand the abraham accord. We know from irans past when they are not getting their way they will bomb their neighbors, Iraq Kuwait, Oman, Saudi, yemen, Qatar, ect. Its repetitive to the point that its a given. Now you have uae with an iron dome set up, talks with saudi,  oman and Iraq to very early talks to normalize relations with Isreal agreeing to be a defense partner if needed. The arab countries are getting tired of iran and their proxies bullshit. Saudis are at a point with iran in Yemen thats bordering going back to war which Israel will give any and all aid to. 

Now after months of showing iran will always go back on their negotiations and restart hostilities it makes it easier to go in and  level areas and drownd out the bullshit from leftist and rino assholes. Like trumps said previously guys there just tapping us along trying to run out the clock cause they know theres no one else willing to commit political suicide over anything let alone iran. Our biggest issue is out media and politicians caring more about keeping their jobs and getting in the way of doing shit that needs to be done and thats not just iran that's everything. 

Not saying thats all gonna come to happen but thats what ive been told from 3 people who know a fuck load more about this then most all of us not working in the military complex an they have been right far more then wrong but they have been wrong.

This bugaboog malcontent is quite entertaining......needs to get back on his Prozac.

It will end with USA capitulating. It has been strategically and tactically a disaster that got soldiers killed with nothing gained. 

Too funny..

Lincoln has been deployed for 267 days. A large percentage of the ship’s company lives and works below deck. This extended time at sea reflects a high degree of mismanagement and lack of accountability. 

Iran has struck several strategic sites including fleet HQ in Bahrain. Without an established “Plan B” the subsequent logistical challenges had a multiplier effect that impacted replenishment and resource allocation.  Add high tempo ops w/o an established end game or on-station relief target date and you end up with what’s occurring on the Lincoln. 

An expert on this topic has said that they were actually at sea ‘not nearly long enough’……

LOL, Should make many in here reach for the Prozac........

I'm retired Air Force.  I've been on joint exercises with Navy dudes.  They a different kinda cat.  They thrive on insane shifts, crammed together like sardines, and unbelievable job pressures.  They are able to do their jobs because of great food, shore leave and comradiery.   

If these guys are tapping out...it's bad.  Worse than bad.  I haven't heard but if the DOD has implemented Stop Loss for those guys...that's just fuel on the fire.  Imagine having a separation date to get out and go home only to be told," You're not going home until we say so"  So much for a voluntary force.  

You can disagree if you want but we don't have a draft and this is not a congressionaly declared war.

I will assume Trump did not actually say that. It reflects a lack of awareness not found in most CinCs. In fact, any CinC. It’s simply unfathomable that our nation’s most senior person in the chain of command would show an utter disregard for the wellbeing of his soldiers and sailors.  So I choose to believe it’s a meme and not reality.  

Who will defend Trump in the above clip? 

Or Trump will bring back the draft, and put 500,000 boots on the ground

You're joking right....no wait...are you serious?

The same ones that defended him after he disrespected Patton and Mac Arthur . “ Oh , it’s just a meme , he meant no harm “  Wrong , you are just another arm of his propaganda machine. Wake up people . Every day is like April fools day with him , but the shit is real. He makes me miss the days of a good old fashioned crooked politician. 

Sometimes, they’re too busy out riding and don’t see the thread. 

Also, Iran is one of the oldest continuous major civilizations. I think we just celebrated 250. This thing in Iran will end when we leave.

I'd be willing to bet this whole ordeal ranks quite high on The Donfather's list of regrets. Though I'm surely the dumb one assuming he might have one of those eh.

Although, I guess we could sort of blame Iran if you think about it. One of the oldest continuous major civilizations, that happens to be geographically located where the heart of the agricultural revolution took place.

8-10k yrs ago we evolved into primarily "takers". What we are seeing today is the worst of that evolution on display, and we are very misaligned with nature's rules of the game - and the taxes will continue coming due.

Either way, enjoy the ride fellas!

EDIT - Spelling.

Think about that for at least 3 seconds and then tell us if you think that’s a good idea. 

He stated truth.

You find US military members giving the ultimate sacrifice humerous?
