US and Israel attack Iran

[Lostinthewoods]

Saw a congressman espouse the theory that the MIC needs about $50B per year to keep going. That's supposedly what our bill comes to whether they're focused on Afghanistan or Ukraine or Iran or ..... I think Turkey's up next. The big problem is they always have to find something new after the last winds down. Israel is embedded in the MIC and is never at a loss for finding somewhere to create a new piece of Hell. That's leadership!

Why Turkey?

Why Turkey?

I saw a video of Naftali Bennett saying “Turkey is the next Iran”.

One Barbie down, two Barbies to go....

Man, that seems kinda sexist/misogynistic.

What exactly is Kristi girls new job?
( special envoy Western shield) How creative.
Wonder what her open ended budget is...gotta pay for cosmetic adjustments and surely the highest grade travel accommodations.
Second speculation, does Hegsiths wife like to run her hand through his hair?
Third speculation, how utterly bullshit that Montana Daines and Zinke submitted their resignations practicaly minutes before the deadline. Sheehy wrestling with a brother in arms, what a tool.
Great afternoon to put the entire shitshow aside and fish in the rain and snow.
No further non-constructive comments for another month.

The way she was always dolled up trying to be like an attractive model never lent to her credibility.

I dont care about noem one way or another. I just thought we weren't supposed to judge by how one chooses to present themselves or their gender.

As much as the money being spent is or isn't an issue, the actual supply of patriot missiles gets to be a concern the longer this goes on. Does the US want to use our entire stockpile of defensive weapons on this? The US stockpile is estimated at about 1600 and we produce 700 a year. Iran is estimated to have 2500+ ballistic missiles and tens of thousands of drones.

We're bombing the chit out of the archers, not as concerned with the arrows...We're also working with allies (Ukraine) on cost effective solutions (low cost munitions) that have proven effective against Russian drones. The advancement of drone warfare is uncharted territory and has been changing rapidly(look up fiber tethered drones). I can't argue that it's going to be an expensive war regardless of our ability to adapt but I like to give the American people more credit than some folks on here (comment not aimed at you, just replying to you as it was the last relevant comment on the subject I read).

I don't think that saying her appearance doesn't lend to her credibility is judging?
Who do you think lends more credibility to authority, Matt Dillon or Barney Fife? To me her made up appearance didn't strike fear in the soul of immigrants in my humble opinion.

I wasn't talking about what you said.

I guess I'm missing the point. Oh well she water under bridge now.

She asked for it

 

[Redmt]

This is getting old. 20 minutes from dinner, cold as hell out and well I just don't feel like skinning a pig tonight. Plus there might be something new about what's her name being fired.

 

[Nick87]

She asked for it

Probably, so do a lot of others.

Why Turkey?

Israeli officials are talking up Turkey as their biggest threat.
