Iran

Yeah, conspiralicous!

That relationship is certainly kurdled.

I’m just surprised McDad hasn’t jumped into this one yet.

I have to again remark about the sudden and substantial rise in gas prices in the blink of an eye when there is a threat.... to be followed by a slow decline many months after the crisis is over.

 

[KB5252]

Do people not have a right to elect a socialist if they want?

Go ahead but be warned, you'll just end up broker and more dependent on the gubment!

There's no whey I'm touching a pun about kurds.

How dairy-ou.

Good to see that Fox News is still dishing out low iq boomerslop.

It is a perfect complement to the millennial hysterics on MSNBC!

 

[KB5252]

How dairy-ou.

Y'all acting like a bunch of poutines

 

[McDad]

How dairy-ou.

Churnin' them out, aren't you?

I understand the Kurds are congealing and may cover an important roll in Iran.

 

[Ritzwatch]

some of y'alls responses to the puns are smooooth, like.......................

 

[KB5252]

Most of these puns are just cheesy. I bet they age like spoiled milk.

There's a lactose of focus going on here and I hope things get butter.

Dem kurds better get outta da way

 

[tvolsfan]

If the only plan is to arm the Kurds, it seems like a really, really bad idea. Increases odds of civil war and even other countries getting involved. It would be pretty hard to argue any of this is for Iranians.

Putt them out to pasteurize.

I'm guessing the idea is once you go beyond "normal" enrichment (under 20%) it starts getting pretty sketchy to play the "nothing to see here" game. That story had them at 60% enrichment followed by

"Accelerating the production of uranium enriched to 60 percent U-235 is concerning because the material can be quickly enriched to weapons-grade levels or 90 percent."

I guess the argument would be that waiting until we're actually aware of "weapons grade" enrichment levels might be a bit late.

This is all true. Have read about it previously
Enriched Uranium is for weapons at over 90%...the 60 to 80% pure stuff doesn't need many more times being processed with centrifuge to achieve the purity for warheads. Dirty bombs are much lower % from spent nuclear rods that power plants used etc. Really not much of a threat because the particles are too heavy to spread well through the air. Bigger concern if a dirty bomb were detonated somewhere would be the cleanup. That location would probably be sealed off and abandoned like when a reactor fails because the half life is millions of years. A nuclear reaction with atoms splitting does not occur from a "dirty bomb" just a conventional explosion spreading radioactive Uranium particles in a very limited area.

Iran has a litany of weapons to attack vessels, plus mines. We’re not going to put our destroyers in the middle of a shooting gallery. Don’t underestimate the danger at Hormuz.

Smokey stated that Iran has threatened shipping with Drones, which is a credible threat for sure.

There are already at least a couple of Destroyers plus an LCS in the Straight of Hormuz right now.
There a couple more LCS mine sweepers at Bahrain.

We’re already in the shooting gallery - whatever remains of it.

The US Navy doesn’t broadcast the location of our SSNs, and ship spotters can’t see them, but it’s likely there are 3-4 in the area as well.

I was holding out hope, but after reading this “arming the Kurds” nonsense i’m convinced we really have no idea what we’re doing do we.

 

[85SugarVol]

Just thought this was funny

Who on earth in that admin thinks it’s a good idea to have that guy out there with a mic in his face?

So painful. Every time…

I think you have to pin your hopes on 2 things

1 - The remnants of the IRGC leadership could prove more inept than we are
2 - We’ve got bigger guns, and more of them

That’s it. That’s all I’ve got.
