We were starting wars we couldn't finish long before Fat Shaquanda got promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. We're not the only country that can provide satellite positions and advanced weaponry. Maybe Fat Shaquanda's replacement white boy can stop a hypersonic missile, but I'm less optimistic than most. Our owners would probably like to see a carrier get wrecked to get idiots all lathered up for an expanded war and all of the associated monetary costs and corruption that comes with it.

Lol sure. As long you think he knows all he’s doing is pushing populist horse **** that his boss wants whistled while actually doing nothing to insure the military is operating at its highest possible state of readiness I’ll agree he knows what he’s doing. He seems to have finally got the basics on how to use Signal down though

If (might actually be happening) he is getting standards equalized, getting females out of ground combat positions and taking the politics out of the officer corp he will have done more for the military than the previous dozen SECdefs

If he actually accomplished something positive while executing his dog whistles it will be another manifestation of a blind squirrel finding a nut every once in a while.

And lol at taking politics out of the officer corps he’s just making sure his boss’s politics are all that are getting pushed.

Maybe you’re right and if so our military is doomed because the next SECdef will be worse.

Are you thinking our Navy commanders are that incompetent or Iran has the capability to sink one of our carriers?

You’re talking to the man who shared a post claiming people on Epstein’s boat were eating baby feces out of the intestines of murdered babies. No belief of his should be surprising

Interesting notes here…

That was a good read.


Here is the whole post for people that don’t have X.



Some thoughts:

1. Iran’s dilemma: Iran does not want to absorb the first strike like it always does. At the same time, it does not want to be seen as the “aggressor.” Tehran wants the option to hit and still claim it was responding.

2. USS Gerald R. Ford is not yet in the CENTCOM theater. Many of its air wing assets remain in the U.S., with others still en route to the Middle East.

3. If Iran intends to launch a preemptive or surprise strike, logic suggests it would prefer to act before Ford links up with the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and fully expands U.S. combat power in theater.

4.If Iran strikes first, even under a preemptive justification, it hands the U.S. and Israel the cleanest political and military case for a large scale coordinated response. That could turn into a self inflicted strategic disaster for Tehran.

5. The 2 week timeline
Iran says it needs roughly 2 weeks to formulate a response to the latest U.S. proposals. That buys time. It may also be operational cover.

6. Israel does not trust Iran’s timeline or messaging. If Israeli intelligence sees credible signs of imminent missile or drone launch preparations, Israel will strike first independently.

7.The bottom line, the next few days to 2 weeks could shift rapidly and unexpectedly and we may see many surprises
