It would be cool to see the YJ-21 in action. I hope someone takes videos

Wait, there is another.
Add in Dune. We’re also in Dune.

Your Holiness, please call a crusade on america and israel

crazy that the AI companies big selling point is always “our new model is TOO POWERFUL, it’s gone rampant and learned at a geometric rate, it enslaved six interns in the punishment sphere and subjected them to a trillion subjective years of torment. please invest, buy our stock”

It is arguably a war crime, though. Not cut and dry, but certainly arguable due to the context of it having been at a mutually-attended fleet exercise - this would bestow protections, at least while at the exercise, if not after. Feels like we’ll need to slightly amend the laws of war once this is over.

Iran continues to hit back, making us presence in the middle east untenable. israel is destroyed.

Think of it this way. The ship had been engaged in what was essentially a diplomatic mission, supposedly unarmed though I guess we’ll never know. The US was also a participant in this function. They waited until it was over and the Iranian ship was heading home, then killed them. This was certainly treacherous, and arguably perfidious. Definitely an atrocity in my book. Perhaps not technically a war crime, but too close for comfort. May the captain and crew of the American submarine meet a watery grave

Even if it’s not technically a war crime, it’s still disgusting. An unarmed ship heading home from a diplomatic exercise, that they knew was unarmed, and they torpedoed it for PR. They could have simply forced it to surrender with no danger to the submarine, but they wanted an epic torpedo video for trump to watch and clap at.

In any case, I wish death on all the yankee devils

Over, or near? If over what part of Iran? So far, as far as I’m aware, they’ve been using the B-52s with standoff munitions. Maybe they’re using them on Kharg island, but that’s an island off the coast. The air defences are going to get thicker when they get further into the country.

Not necessarily lucky. There are basically only two reasons why an F-15 would be flying that low over Iran:

• The threat of high level AD is too high to risk flying high, forcing the F-15 to operate below the radar horizon
• Stockpiles of precision guided bombs are low enough that they have to use dumb bombs, thus needing to fly low to be accurate.

I think the former is more likely than the latter, though in the best case scenario it’s a mix of both. In either case, it’s less luck than the US hitting a limiting factor in its operations and being forced into a position where MANPADS are a threat to fighters

The Oracle told me a great empire will be destroyed, that’s what she told me - a great empire will be destroyed. And that’s what we’re doing, and it’s tremendous. Nobody’s ever seen anything like this

I have a bottle of champagne earmarked for him, Netanyahu, a US destroyer or capital ship, or maybe a B2 bomber.

Death to America, death to Israel

No problem! Yes, in short he’s opened pandora’s box and anything is now possible

Basically yes, you’ve got the gist of it. Might be a bit more complicated, as I think some of the PMF militias attacked US forces right from the start of the war, but they have every right to fight an occupying army.

AFAIK the PMFs made a ceasefire deal with US forces in one of the bases to allow them to withdraw from a base and the US airstriked the guy who negotiated with them as soon as they pulled out. The good news is nobody will fall for that one again, and the US only has one base left in Iraq.

Don’t forget Kuwait! Oman’s okay, I guess. Not great but heads and shoulders above the other gulf states

This is an Iraqi militia, the Popular Mobilization Forces, which formed during and were instrumental in the war against ISIS. Basically they stepped up where the Iraqi military failed, and helped push ISIS out of Iraq. They’re formally and legally a part of the Iraqi military, but are also de facto independent and closely linked to Iran.
