Binyamin Netanyahu explains to an Israeli audience how he persuaded Donald Trump to attack Iran:
“It took a long time to get the US to come to its senses” but I finally got it to attack Iran due to my “influence” over its leaders through “1000 hours on American television”.
@AontroimGAA@RuairiOgCLG The first one is the best for coaching tips. You can clearly see how he creates the space he needs to catch the sliotar. That and timing are the essentials.
BREAKING: The US Army launched 96 to 160 PAC-3 MSE interceptors from its Patriot batteries in Jordan tonight against 32 to 40 Iranian ballistic missiles. Three to four rounds at each missile.
At ~$4 million a shot, that is $380-640 million burned in a single wave to keep two bases covered. A fully loaded battery holds 72-96 MSE on the rails. Two batteries plus a local reload is a few hundred rounds in-country, and tonight took a third to half of that.
Without a restock from the Gulf or US mainland, two or three more nights like this empty the Jordan magazines. If those batteries weren't fully loaded going into the night, the ready pile is already gone this morning.
Each PAC-3 MSE takes about two years to build.
@rickybutcher_@lukejsmyth I wouldn't be so sure of that. It certainly looks easy now but life pans out in different ways for us all. The big crash in 2008-2011 exposed a lit of overleveraged individuals living in that bubble.
@rickybutcher_@lukejsmyth I think it's real alright. Look if people wanna live like this I guess it's their choice, I would rather live in the real world myself and prepare for the hardship that life throws at us all.
