The torpedo thing was weird. One of the turnips tame idiots (can't remember which) said it was the first torpedo sinking since WW2.

Huh? Falklands war and Belgrano spring to mind. Just looked it up and there have also been a number of other torpedo sinkings. From Wiki -

She (Belgrano) was the first ship to have been sunk during military operations by a nuclear-powered submarine[1] (the second being the Iranian IRIS Dena, which was sunk by an American submarine during the 2026 Iran war)[2] and the second sunk in action by any type of submarine since World War II (the first being the Indian frigate INS Khukri, sunk by the Pakistani submarine PNS Hangor during the India–Pakistan war of 1971).

Do the idiots never fact check anything before opening their mouths?

Idiot the Great surrounds himself with idiots in case you haven't noticed. The history of ordinance is fairly far afield of a Trump thread, however, the possibility of nukes is an important factor.

Oh my god. I'm back, I'm home. You finally did it. You blew it all up. God damn you. God damn you all to hell.







There may not be time to say this later.

I know, having served stateside in the Vietnam War, how horrible things can get and how horrible they are under the surface. WWII, endless quagmire, random attacks on US and allies. Huge casualties. Never ending PTSD. I also see that Iranians are dancing in the streets, and seem to be the most joyful people I have ever seen. Freedom is in their sights and if it takes, it will come to many more millions of people. We are witnessing one of the most amazing times in the history of the world. Regardless of our fear, cynicism, despair, can we look at them and feel a shred of hope? Freedom is never free.

A free democratic Iran is but one shred of rationale for Trump's Iran among many. A colonization might be more likely. Trump does have a history of breaking, bankrupting, and abandoning his projects.
We can hope for the best, but expecting the worst is not always cynicism.

Freedom is never free, but it's never, ever, been delivered by air power alone.

A free Iran, however, isn't even one of the President's war aims. He seeks the (second) obliteration of Iran's A-bomb potential, the obliteration of its missile factories, the surrender of its armed forces and the installation of a friendly government - democratic, theocratic, whatever. He said so today.

All to be done in a few weeks without ground troops. We needed 170,000 soldiers and marines in Iraq (a smaller country) and the result - in spite of our prompt overthrow of Hussein - was years of war and the rise of ISIS.

Hope is not a plan. What's the plan?

The only clue to what a man will do is what he has done.
