What a bunch of . We are supposed to believe that their county was involved in a war and their warship is engaging in unarmed naval exercises? Yeah, sound logical.

Lol, the lengths you guys will go through to not speak ill of Putin, is impressive.

LOL. You can pull up my post history in the Ukraine thread if you want to know my stance on Putin.

 

[Persian Vol]

Seems to be working. What specifically is wrong with the current military strategy?

Having a clear goal usually helps with the strategy part.

Appears it was in India when the US decided to attack. When did it arm itself?

The event was before we attacked. The ship was there; it was documented. We were invited to the same event but cancelled.

It was a warship of an enemy combatant. I'm sure we radioed the German and Japanese vessels to make sure they were ready to defend themselves in WWII. If you see someone walking around brandishing a firearm, you'd be a fool to operate under the assumption that it was unloaded and go up and ask them.
Maybe we should ask all enemy combats if their guns are loaded too before we shoot them from now on.
Now the civilian people attending that music festival and the Israelis on the border with Gaza were unarmed and defenseless. Now that was a crime.

You really want to play the "killing innocent people" game?

There's also only a single conspiratard here saying Iran was named by the Nazis and ignoring everyone pointing out the ridiculousness of the comment.

Wrong!

How can the enemy know what to expect if we don't either?

 

[ButchPlz]

Definition of strategery.

It looks like Bibi’s feeding DJT the plan on a need to know basis, I guess because of his big mouth.

Naval warships sail around unarmed?

 

[ButchPlz]

Naval warships sail around unarmed?

Again, yes.

 

[n_huffhines]

Naval warships sail around unarmed?

Yes, and we knew they would be because we were invited to this same diplomatic event, backed out at the last second, and then used it to commit murder and further destroy our good guy rep if anybody still thought of us that way. This is the lowest of the low. Hegseth grew a mustache just so he could twirl it.

We are the baddies. Iran is the baddies, too. So is Israel. The world would probably be happy to be watching us **** each other up if we didn't keep involving them.

IRGC is projected to be out of launchers by Wednesday March 11.




Everyone keeps counting Iran’s missiles.

But that’s kinda the wrong number to focus on.

The real number is how many they can actually launch. On Day 1, Iran fired about 504 missiles and drones.

By Day 5, that number dropped to just 29. That’s a 94% drop in less than a week.

The chart pretty much shows the same trend. Launch numbers started in the hundreds and then kept falling day by day.

Not because Iran ran out of missiles. Because they’re running out of launchers.

Missiles sitting in tunnels don’t mean much if the launch platforms keep getting wiped out.

Iran reportedly started the war with around 200 launchers, and a big chunk of them may already be gone.

That’s also why the U.S. B-2 strike on the underground Damavand base matters.

Those sites are where launch systems are protected, maintained, and redeployed.

Take that out and the whole launch network starts falling apart.

So yeah, the missiles might still exist in tunnels. But more and more of them may have nowhere to go.

Appears it was in India when the US decided to attack. When did it arm itself?

I don't care if it was unarmed or not, in war battleships are threats and targets.

 

[ButchPlz]

I don't care if it was unarmed or not, in war battleships are threats and targets.

You realize that another ship was just parked and is in possession of a neutral country, with its sailors held in that country too, right? The US shot this one apart for clout and to make idiots like you celebrate. We don't have anywhere near the guts and grit of the Navy of WWII anymore if all we're going to celebrate is sinking unarmed boats. To think some dipshit told me I was cowardly. This is the equivalent of shooting a guy armed with a knife in the back from distance.

How do you not just go "sh*t, I was totally wrong"?

 

[rikberry31]

The event was before we attacked. The ship was there; it was documented. We were invited to the same event but cancelled.

Oh, In that case I'm going to cry a river for those who are responsible for the death of thousands of people in the past 4+ decades.

 

[MOOOOONEY]

Yeah, makes you miss a "straight" shooter and truth teller like Jean-Pierre. I really wish we had Joe "the best ever" Biden and the gang back.

Both are really bad at their job.

Both Biden and Trump are really bad presidents.

It can’t get any worse but of course I said that after W and Obama.

 

[utvolpj]

I don't care if it was unarmed or not, in war battleships are threats and targets.

Good thing we're not at war huh?

We bragged about blowing up an unarmed boat. It's really weak for the greatest military on earth

There's also only a single conspiratard here saying Iran was named by the Nazis and ignoring everyone pointing out the ridiculousness of the comment.

Yeah, I do. If you want take the side of evil mentally ill people be my guest.

 

[adam.vol]

It can’t get any worse but of course I said that after W and Obama.

At least we’re headed in a steady direction.

 

[ButchPlz]

Yeah, I do. If you want take the side of evil mentally ill people be my guest.

Can you try to be a little, smidge, tiny bit more creative, my trailer trash broheim?

We knew they were coming from a naval conference that required vessels to be unarmed, because we were signed up to attend as well

Well, the guy with the knife is a mass murder. Shoot his azz.

Good news, Mike Johnson said it's not a war, so no need to invoke war powers. Continue with your not war, Mr. Trump.

It's hilarious how much 1984 applies to this admin and none of you ****ers are making the references to that book that you were making 2-3 years ago.
