Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

Killed for the sake of demonic, child-raping rats.

No, no, they were fighting AGAINST muslims.

3 nukes this time, just to be sure.

But what if that creates Super Anime?

No joke I've always had it in my mind that during a disaster/earthquake/war is probably the best time to naturally find a partner.

>TFW no cute bunker GF

Schadenfreude. This is an important lesson for EU niggers, don't be a retard and destroy nuclear if you're going to give up on fossil fuels. They need to eat their words and suck the Russian cock of consequences and realize that they are nothing with green energy. Turn to nuclear and fossil fuels and you actually may have a reliable energy sector.

Always remember that Trump told them they were idiots for relying on Russia, and they laughed at him.

Reminder that Spain stopped buying Israeli arms in protest over Gaza, jk lmao

Someone better call up Torquemada's ghost to let him start rooting out all this heresy.

They're basically massive cruise missile airships now. They aren't particularly great for bombing in current day, but they can hold a shitload of missiles.

Yep. Cruise missiles are big and heavy and it takes a big ugly fat fucker to carry a ton of them into the air as a result.

Surely there's some kind of Santa Clause if we read it under a magnifier. A Sandnigger Clause, if you would.

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.

America's first overseas military action was launched against sandniggers, men who had convinced the famously anti-government, anti-military Thomas Jefferson that only a direct and brutal application of overwhelming military force would convince them to fuck off and leave us alone.

how many military operations have you been a part of?

We're at what, 6 Americans killed? With the sheer scale of the strikes there's no way there's fewer than 600 Iranians dead and probably closer to 6000 than that number. As far as military conflicts go this is beyond one-sided.

American's are alot like Romans. We like military victories. So if Orange Man can bring one home he will get a triumphal march.

Of course, Americans also really dislike military defeats, so...

Rubeus... Oh Marcus Rubeus, bring me back my legions!

I think third might actually be US Marines.

Well, they are certainly the world's second-most-powerful Navy with all of their carriers amphibious assault ships that have the aircraft capacity of a carrier.

Not unless you're Israeli, if you're autistic they'll make you look at maps all day.

Oh no, the cruelty!

I have a theory on part of why Russia and Iran managed to function as paper tigers for so long.

It's the Pentagon's fault.

Anybody that knows more about this stuff is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong. Here's my pitch:

If you're the dude that's in charge of wargaming this stuff, all of the institutional incentives line up in the direction of playing up how scary the enemy is and how you need a bigger budget. It is a fact of reality that every institution, of any sort, exists to maximize its discretionary power and budget, even if the ultimate motivations are more complicated discretionary power + budget expands the choice set of how you can achieve that goal. Is. A. Fact.

Now, if you come along and say, "Iran is in fact quite mid" that DOES NOT drive panic and fear and look good on C-SPAN if Congress votes you another six gorillion dollars for procurement. If you say that you also look negligent, potentially, to your immediate superiors, and your superiors may pressure you to phony stuff up too. So you will always, always present things through a catastrophizing lens. This then gets passed on to the civilian administration, the media, and that in turn constrains the ability of your military to act.

Then add on the second layer to this: when we wargame, we are not in fact wargaming against Iranians, we are wargaming against an Iranian OOB commanded by Americans. Even to the extent you're supposed to replicate however that other army works, makes decisions, "don't act retarded, do take this seriously" is Wargaming 101, so you've got this 200 IQ Gigachad American officers playing 70 IQ Middle Eastern/Slavic retards, and that dramatically overestimates how competent they're going to be.

The irony of it all? Taking your job seriously, obeying that central rule that you never underestimate the enemy, paralyzes you like McClellan against the Army of Northern Virginia.

I’m just amazed any time the us does something we get all people who say the draft is coming die for Israel it’s all so tiresome.

Same. People don’t realize that we are way too traumatized as a country to start a draft again. Our leaders are just not that politically suicidal.

 

[WhiskeyJack]

Are you yt boi schwasted or something, calling Barron Trump a draft dodger when there's no draft is weird

Calling Trump a draft dodger is a stretch itself. The only person in the WH who was actually about to get drafted and pulled strings to get out of it was Bill Clinton.

In fact, all the whinging about Trump's "bone spurs" the last decade was just people mad the GOP mocked Clinton's very obvious draft dodging back in the 90's.

Both Biden and Trump had medical deferments, which is very common. Trump was an athlete and a very tall guy, bone spurs are legit not unusual, and Biden had asthma. Both were listed as 1-Y, which is not a total deferment, they could be drafted in an emergency or actual war, they were just lowest priority. Trump didn't actually get 4-F (medically disqualified) until 1972, when he already had next to zero chances of being drafted regardless of classification.

Well it goes back to the Cold War that anytime we saw new equipment the Soviets made we read it at face value to procure the next generation of equipment to outclass them. The reality is that the us finally got Soviet equipment it was generally a generation behind while we had advanced two generations. That’s it along with providing massive number of jobs around the country.

We still do, it's just inactive. I had to register when I turned 18 and like a loyal American citizen I did so.

'Loyal' my ass.Men are REQUIRED to sign up to get government loans, benefits and others.

You are quite the faggot, so i imagine you wanting some gibs led you to register.

Why did you insult his son for no fucking reason?
You're a piece of trash and deserve everything bad that has ever happened to you. Fag.
I hope you die alone and in a lot of pain.

While I’ve paid close attention to this thread ever since the protests kicked off and watching all the movements of military cargo planes into the Middle East I’m just amazed any time the us does something we get all people who say the draft is coming die for Israel it’s all so tiresome

There is a group of posters - often groypers or TES regulars, I presume, because strange times lead to strange alliances - who come here from time to time to tell us why we shouldn't be happy about an old murderous pedophile being dead. Draft is one of their arguments.

US routinely sells F-16 variants to other countries that are better than the F-16C the USAF & various ANGs

The USAF/ANG's F-16s routinely get upgraded and updated through various service life extension programs to match the newest blocks being produced for export. The USAF announced a few years ago that the F-16 is going to stay in service until the damn 2040's. Do you think they're just going to keep flying them with the same engines, radars, and FCS in them from the 80s and 90s?

I'm so happy you mentioned that, because I swear to god I remember him having penned an extremely sarcastic letter to... some sandnigger nation at the time about how he can moor ships wherever he wanted. I can't for the life of me find it.

Russia literally had their air show team, in their air show planes, escorting Bears near Norway, this week.

Ew. Well, Studs is around here too, somewhere so I guess it's fair.

Spoiler: TES autism

who come here from time to time to tell us why we shouldn't be happy about an old murderous pedophile being dead. Draft is one of their arguments.

To them I say hahahaaaa...

I'd be really interested to hear what crippling medical condition disqualifies him from service.

Maybe "bone spurs" like his draft-dodging father. Apparently these conditions are caused by enormous amounts of money, oddly enough.

Oh fuck here we go again with the self righteous German clutching his moral high ground like it's the last clean towel in a Turkish bathhouse, absolutely livid that Trump just dropped the hammer on Iran with a full on bombing campaign turning Tehran's missile yards and leadership bunkers into parking lots.
Spare us the hand-wringing lectures about drafts that aren't going to happen since Americans have enough pride in their nation to actually volunteer.

Germany spent decades preaching peace while happily buying cheap Russian gas that funded Putin's war machine until the bill was due and you had to beg for American LNG. Now you're pearl clutching over strikes that took out a theocracy that's been at war with the West since 1979. Real brave stance from the nation that couldn't even meet its 2% NATO spending promise until Trump shamed you into it. Twice. Cope and seethe over your vegan schnitzel and stop obsessing over some guys 19 year old child. Makes you sound creepy

Edit: the fact that you might actually be an old as fuck American sucking Germanys micro cock is so fucking sad it's hilarious

Men are REQUIRED to sign up to get government loans, benefits and others.

it's not just to apply for gibs, it's for interacting with the government in any way. want to get your license? got to sign up for selective service. go to a public college? gotta sign that piece of paper. hell, even when volunteering for active military service they check if you're registered or not. the only way to not be registered for the draft is as soon as you graduate high school to go fuck off into the woods.
