Would the U.S. and Israel ever temporarily suppress casualty numbers? Obviously the US is more trustworthy on this, so I don’t think that’s what happened on balance of probabilities.

If there is confirmed causalities on U.S.'s end we would have heard about it by now I think there one Civilian causality from Israel right now, can't really speak for them though the less life lost the better.

No. Also, Israel doesn't suppress casualty numbers; Jews don't do it. It doesn't make sense from a Jewish pov. What Israel will do is say "something happened" and notify the families, and then tell the media to hold off posting about it until the families ok it or after a set amount of time (a few days).
 
A bit haram, but I laughed.

Zero confirmed U.S. Causalities at this point. Iran said 50 but they're lying out there ass.
if they go by Jan 6th rules where every suicide or accidental death counts i think they're at least up to 50.

No one in this thread can think of a single time jews have mislead people about casualty numbers
 

The third senior Trump administration official, discussing the recent negotiations with Iran, also revealed a profound lack of experience or expertise to understand the issues involved, including claiming-- bizarrely--that the Iranians thought the US negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, would somehow never bother to read their proposal closely.

“One of the things that we said to the Iranians is we wanted to see… some sort of plan from them as to how they would address our enrichment demands,” the third senior Trump administration official said. “They brought with them a seven page plan, which, interestingly enough, they wouldn’t leave it with us, but they did hand it to us and allowed us to read it, thinking that we would never actually spend the time in reading it. Jared read it from throughout, went through every piece of it, as did I. So we have an intimate knowledge of what was in there. They basically premised their program on their internal needs, and then had a flow chart at the back that showed what their internal needs would be.”

A Trump official claimed that Kushner and Witkoff were onto Iran's game because they were willing to read Iran's proposal that they had been presented to read.

I don’t think they would especially worry about releasing numbers right now when operations are going on. It isn’t important and only serves to benefit anyone who wants to trash talk them. Plus with the hectic nature of everything going on right now it would just add additional burden

Yeah but if they’re suppressing information on casualties during the active phase of the war, (e.g. to demoralise the Iranians) they wouldn’t confirm any casualties would they?

Telling the media to “hold off on posting about it” is temporarily suppressing the number of casualties (or fatalities w/e). I don’t think it’s even possible to hide casualties forever in a free country.
 
Ukraine is still actively in russia via kursk
No quite, pretty much the entire Kursk incursion was pushed out by March of last year besides maybe like a forest patch area. The Ukrainians did try to reenter Kursk back in June/July via assaulting the town Tetkino but it was repelled. The main fighting has been happening in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zapo, and Dnipro.
The united states is the only country with a real military the sooner you accept that the better.
Ehh, the US is the only country with a good air force and navy. Our army is horrible at its job and our tanks are NOT fit for handling drone warfare which makes sense due to every war we engage in being far away as seen with Iran today.
 
Thank you for coming to my TED spergout.
Thank you, this was very illuminating. For those of us who understand the world doesn't break down into a binary choice of blaming "DaJews" or "DaMooslims", it's easy to see the outer layer of geopolitical machinations, but it's hard to pinpoint the actual motivations behind the actions. This answered a lot of those questions.

there are direct lines to the Syrian Civil war and Invasion in Ukraine. Trump acking Solemani back in his first time also factors in greatly, but if we go into everything that kicked off Oct 7 we'll be here all day. So we're going to sort of cut off the look back there, but know the Great Jew Hunt of Oct 7 was not an isolated or monolithic event. It has its own background and story as rich and complex as this one.
I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in saying you're fully welcome to elaborate further on any of this if you feel so inclined.
 
Putting young White american men into the meat grinder has been choice from korea to the war against the Taliban. Thank you President Trump for being the first president in modern history who doesn't hate us.

I mean the logic is sound but from what I know it normally gets leaked pretty quick either by other service people or just by word of mouth then the news picks it up.

Oh, if that's what you meant. Then yeah, but Israelis LOVE to gossip, so if something happened, it would be known. Maybe not details, but something. But Israel and the USA are free nations, so the real numbers will quickly be known after operations end.
