@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter How do you figure? Unless Iran has fortified every single bit of the island against JDAM strikes, there's very little they could do to hold it for more than 3 days, and it may take even far less than that if the island isn't heavily manned.

@Spotted_Jaguar1 @___riddick @TheMandaloriYin @SteelersFC We're upset because EA has a complete monopoly on NFL games and it generally does not matter the product gets worse every year because of the attitude that people are just fine with it. You could get a FAR better product if you just stopped playing for a couple years lol.

@InsideTheInsid1 @NomadSolv2024 @FaytuksNetwork Sure, if you want to direction brain and make everything about politics. It's more likely Iranian leadership is fractured and getting all parties to agree remains a challenge.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter Eh, on an engagement to engagement basis, the VC lost badly to US forces. The horror stories you hear of tree hell are outlier cases of over zealous junior officers over extending their platoons and being cut down. That wasn't indicative of the whole war.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter All of those conflicts the US Military overwhelmingly dominated. The US Military is not responsible for achieving political goals in a war, that falls on the government, not the armed forces who did their jobs to near perfection 6000 miles away from their home turf.

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter Won't argue Trump is a moron that is easily played when it comes to diplomacy, and I have huge gripes about his foreign policy. But the argument that Iran could beat the US military at anything just doesn't track in reality. If the US Military wants something, it takes it.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter All wrong, every time. Without fail.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter Then it was "the US is days away from running out of missiles". Then it was "$200 oil at the end of the month". Then it was "$150 oil by summer". Then it was "US ships can't get into the strait". Then it was "you can't circumvent the strait". Then it was "inevitable famine in 3 w

@AndyHermanNFL Drones still can't replace real quarterbacks. I told you all.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter Lol, face it dude. You guys have had to pivot so many times during this conflict, we basically went from "The Iran war is going to be a disaster with both US carriers sunk and thousands of US troops dead" to "Iran is stringing Trump along in negotiations, so they're winning"

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@Canine_World @TankerTrackers lol, CENTCOM is basically daring Iran to try and drive oil prices further and they won't. Even the oil prices are indicative that the world has zero confidence Iran can further threaten the region.

@FrankdShannon @TOzgokmen The expensive tank basically obsoleted trench warfare in World War 1 overnight. The expensive F-14 against the cheap MiG-21 (who had vaslty superior pilots) killed the concept of dogfighting in modern air combat in a long weekend, etc, etc.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@FrankdShannon @TOzgokmen The idea that you can use cheap solutions to win a war has long been disproven throughout history. The cheap armies with the best commanders and the most cavalry and vastly outnumbered their opponents who had expensive guns always lost badly.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@RBonnorM @WWC82 @KobeissiLetter i think you severely overestimate Iran's capability to defend and attack because the mainstream media told you they hit some planes and buildings.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@Wacs2123 @clashreport The US Military utilizes their drones mostly to carry out reconnaissance - a highly overlooked aspect of warfare - and a single one will do more for operational success than 1000 of your favorite FPV drones. And that's just scratching the surface. That's why they cost more.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@Wacs2123 @clashreport The Triton isn't a standard drone being operated by someone nearby. It's operated by someone in the United States and can receive inputs to controls with near real time precision, and transmit data with high-powered sensors to dozens of assets in a second.

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@reluctantm55236 @clashreport I'm sure they're TOTALLY not using the incorrect F-35 variant to purposely inflate these numbers and drive a narrative. no no no. this is a legit news account 100%

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@JoritWintjes @cdrsalamander tl;dr: get over it

[HorribleFour @HorribleFour]

@JoritWintjes @cdrsalamander That's a whole lot of yapping just for reality to be that the intentional killing of civilians is done by all warring parties in all wars ever in history and the only ones that are persecuted are the losers. When you need to hit an opponent hard, you do it. Civilians be DAMNED XD
