The Spanish government contradicts the White House and denies that it will "cooperate militarily" with the US in the war
 
All these two faced countries in NATO are just feigning condemnation because they have large populations of Muslims they want to appease. UK, Spain, France etc. But there's not a country on earth except maybe North Korea who wants the current volatile regime in Iran to continue. Egypt and Saudi Arabia should be the ground troops to go in for mop up duty if necessary. As I stated 100 comments ago the path of least resistance is to pit the Sunni Arabs against the Shia Iranians who are their mortal enemies. I would expect something is going to happen soon that will get Egypt involved. They have the largest military and combined with Saudi Arabia and the other gulf countries could probably get it done. Would be funny if they joined forces with Israel too.
 
R' Yosef was, the Sephardim tell me, a talmud chochem and a political genius. But he said a lot of odd stuff towards the end of his life. Which was quite awhile ago. For example, the sheitel-wearers will burn in gehenna along with their husbands.

Trump's virtue is that he learns, like the opposite of a Lolcow. I think he watched the Israelis since October 7th, especially the Lebanese decapitation strike, and learned from it. This is a very Israeli operation. No pretending it's WWII, no "free world saves the heathens." Get in, bomb it back to the stone age, rinse, repeat until you get a version of Iran you can live with.

Maybe the US can also copy the Israelis in having an immigration policy that furthers its actual aims as a country.
 
It's the kurds, they will go into this thinking they will gain ground, and then be told to back and sit in their "no state of our own" chair in the corner.

On the topic of Turkey though I wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing a repeat of their play in Syria where the Turks rush in and sieze "buffer zones" both to control possilbe refugee movement and also just a buffer against kurdish forces in the region.
You'd think they'd learn from the millionth state the west backs a state and just gives the middle finger and just stockpile guns and atgms and manpads and whatever else and just launch an offensive into turkey and capture tanks if feasible or just use killdozer (improvised apcs whatever you prefer)
 
US Has Lost Nearly $2 Billion In Equipment So Far

Snip:

The US has lost nearly $2 billion worth of military equipment amid its attacks against Iran since Saturday, according to estimates and data compiled by Anadolu Agency.

The chief driver of the cost is a US AN/FPS-132 early warning radar system at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, valued at $1.1 billion, which was hit with a missile strike by Iran on Saturday. Qatar confirmed that the radar was hit and damaged.

On Sunday, 3 F-15E Strike Eagles were lost in a friendly fire incident by Kuwaiti air defences. While all six aircrew survived, the planes did not; the cost of replacing them is estimated at $282 million.

During its opening retaliatory attack on Saturday, Iran struck the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama, Bahrain, destroying two satellite communications terminals and several large buildings.

Using open-source intelligence reports, the targeted SATCOM terminals were identified as AN/GSC-52Bs, which approximately cost $20 million, factoring in deployment and installation costs.
Shoots you with $250k bullet

"Hey asshole that was my retirement money"
 
I've not heard of a submarine being used in warfare since the Battle of the Atlantic. (Though they where also heavily used against Japanese merchant vessels aswell if I'm correct)
Subs were used extensively in the Gulf Wars. But almost exclusively as Cruise Missile platforms.

The last sub torpedo kill was almost certainly when a Best Korean Sub torpedod a South Korean Corvette off the South Korean West Coast. In 2010. Best Korea continues to deny any involvement.
 
This is a stupid argument. Pope Francis actively promoted mass immigration from the Third World into the US and Europe, openly telling Italian officials that African immigrants would make up for the low birthrates of native Italians. Under his direction, Catholic organizations spent billions trying to achieve that goal. When he died, 250k Catholics attended his funeral and the entire Catholic community mourned. Does that mean every Catholic supported every single one of his policies?

I also never claimed he was unimportant. The reason why so many people attended his funeral is because he was a great scholar who also advocated for Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews at a time when they were discriminated against by the Israeli government.

making up strawmen is pathetic

It actually was a great argument, because if someone mentioned some dumb, insane thing a pope said, I'd ignore it. Or I'd be like "fuck that guy".

Instead, you choose lying (by omission) through your teeth trying to manipulate people's ignorance and ridiculously downplay the importance of a foremost religious leader.

That's precisely my complaint.

That quote about a serbian who was neighbors with a bosnian deciding to straight up just kill the bosnian when the yugo slav war started starts to make more sense when you realize muds will do shit like this if not controlled and culled. Kiwis is it wrong to wish mosques get bombed as someone in a mudslime country? Because if so, you can bet your fucking ass i will cackle like a motherfucker if some mosque got bombed (preferably the only shia mosque in all of UAE). The judes are many things but their proclivity to be subversive can be super fucking handy towards a populace that rightfully deserves it.
That's another reason to hate Bill Clinton. He prevented Europe Muslim population from being cleansed by base serve ultra nationalists. If it wasn't for him, the Serbians would have cleansed Europe of Islamic filth and Albanians.

North Koreans and their silly little navy


 
Not to mention the fact that the more unstable Syria is, the less likely it is that countries like Germany will deport any significant numbers of them.
I don't think that really matters. Germany won't deport them for internal political reasons, not because they are unstable. If they need to wait for Syria to be stable, they will never go back.

the pope has no authority over the republic of Italy, he has no influence over their government or any other government at all. He's just another preacher who is gonna say what preachers always say everything was in line with Christian dogma. The EU is majority atheistic anyway, they hate the pope because he never accepted abortion.
He is certainly not as influential as corporations that just want cheap labor and that lobby the governments all the time.

and yet you tried to manufacture that this specific position of his was widely supported by implication through his large funeral

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denies reports that President Donald Trump discussed sending Kurdish forces into Iran, calling them “false” and saying the conversation with Kurdish leaders focused on US bases in the region.

Won't they? I thought Merz and his more right-wing counterpart in the south (the dude in charge of Austria right now) were getting more hawkish on deporting Syrians in an attempt to keep the AFD and other nationalist parties at bay.

I don't speak German though, so it's harder for me to follow the Deutsch world or get a feel for what your actual German/Austrian layperson thinks on all of this.
 
The only victory condition Iran has to achieve is not collapsing, we don't even have a victory condition. I hope Iran buckles and this can end but what you retards don't seem to realize is that it doesn't matter how many bombs we drop, every day that goes by without Iranian capitulation is another day of Iran winning this conflict. If we get to the 6 week mark it's over, there will be no option but ground forces. If you retards had theory of mind you would suss out that Iran knows this and it is their ultimate goal. If they get that it's over, we will be living with 8-16 years of dems, infinite refugees and no hope of taking back power.
