Of course the french authorities hid all the details

They let millions of savages in, and now there is no easy solution

The terrorists filmed themselves stabbing women’s genitals and decapitating their victim’s heads because they wanted to use it for future Islamic State propaganda. During the trial, one of the victim’s father described how his son had been disemboweled, castrated and then the castrated genitals had been placed in his dead son’s mouth.

It took French authorities over three hours to take back control from a group of radicalized 20 year olds. In those three hours, these 9 young men managed to murder 130 men, women and children.

Is a ground invasion on the cards?

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

U.S. strikes continue on Iranian military targets. Trump’s climbdown is a tactical climbdown to play for time until he has better cards to play. What form that takes is anyone’s guess — more military resources on site, new terms in back-channel talks etc

Crossing names off the list is good - doing it shoulder to shoulder with our American friends is even better.

Good to see Ambassador @GovMikeHuckabee. Always a pleasure.

I am starting to think that the reason Israel, a small nation surrounded by larger adversaries on all sides, remains undefeated is probably because all their enemies are grade-A retards who believe Netanyahu videos are AI and the video below is real

@ShivAroor Why Oman?

Wasn’t Oman out of their crosshair earlier, since Omani airspace wasn’t used to attack them?
Seems weird

Lol

Winning wars is expensive, winning social media perception battles is cheap and lets your population sleep well at night

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

Last night, we found a guy in Pakistan that was managing 31 accounts posting AI war videos. All were hacked and the usernames were changed on Feb 27 to "Iran War Monitor" or some derivative.

We are getting much faster at detecting this—and also eliminating the incentive to do this.

Iran’s airspace is open game now.
So much for the Chinese air defenses!!

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

BREAKING: The United States has confirmed B-52 Stratofortress bombers are now striking Iran.

Understand what this means by understanding the sequence.

On February 28, the US sent B-2 Spirits. The B-2 is a stealth bomber. It costs $2.1 billion per aircraft. The US has 20 of them. You send B-2s when the enemy’s air defences are intact and you need to penetrate undetected. Four B-2s dropped 160,000 pounds of bunker-busting ordnance on hardened underground facilities in the opening wave.

On March 2, the US sent B-1 Lancers. The B-1 is a supersonic bomber. Faster than the B-2 but not stealth. You send B-1s when air defences have been degraded enough that speed, not invisibility, is sufficient to survive. The B-1s conducted the deepest raids into Iran since 2003.

On March 3, the US sent B-52s. The B-52 is a 70-year-old subsonic aircraft. It is not stealth. It is not fast. It has a radar cross-section the size of a barn. It flies at 650 miles per hour at 50,000 feet and it is visible to every radar system on earth.

You send B-52s when there is nothing left to shoot them down.

That is the sequence. B-2 when defences are lethal. B-1 when defences are degraded. B-52 when defences are gone. The US Air Force just told you, through aircraft selection alone, that Iran’s integrated air defence network no longer exists as a functional system.

The B-52 carries 70,000 pounds of ordnance per sortie. It can launch cruise missiles from standoff range without entering defended airspace at all. The US has 76 of them versus 20 B-2s. Deploying B-52s quadruples the available bomber strike capacity, and each aircraft can deliver more payload per sortie than any other platform in the inventory.

1,700 targets struck. 300 new sites added in the latest wave. $779 million in ordnance expended on the first day alone. Six American service members killed. Eleven aircraft lost. The campaign is intensifying, not tapering.

Here is where this connects to every post I have written today.

The B-52 deployment proves the conventional campaign is succeeding. Iran’s air defences are neutralised. Its underground facilities are being collapsed. Its missile production is being destroyed. Its leadership is being eliminated.

And the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

Because the B-52 cannot sink a mine. It cannot intercept a Shahed drone launched from a fishing boat. It cannot neutralise an anti-ship missile on a mobile coastal launcher. It cannot stop a proxy in Yemen from firing at a tanker in the Red Sea. The asymmetric threat that closes shipping lanes operates beneath the altitude where strategic bombers are relevant.

The US is winning the war it chose to fight. It is not winning the war the insurance market cares about. The B-52 is the most powerful expression of that gap.

70,000 pounds of ordnance per sortie. And Lloyd’s of London still will not write a policy for a tanker transiting Hormuz.

That is the thesis. In one sentence.

Where is China in all of this?

First they let Maduro get humiliated and now the Ayatollah is dead.
Maybe the power differential is a little more than we all anticipated, USA is just too powerful, and the current administration is not pulling their punches
