Russia's Nuclear Triad is the only thing that keeps them alive, it's the only thing that truly secures the independence of any nation. Even for those who are the most bearish on Russian nuclear capabilities, and assume that 90% of the nukes don't work, that's still 150 live warheads heading to the US. It's what made me the most dumbfounded with the NAFO crowd and anyone suggesting a conventional war with Russia.

You realize the US also has nuclear triad with a considerably deep arsenal, right?

Step 1: Secure air superiority
Step 2: Engage in SEAD to leave enemy air defense a scrap heap.
Step 3: Bomb the fucking shit out of them.

Small correction. SEAD is roughly the first time the US starts shooting enemy objects. SEAD is a key component of securing air superiority and starts before it is done.

58%-80% just say its 99% sky's the limit when you write your own press releases and their is no way to fact check
 
Since the dune coons opened a "Halal Waffle House of Prayercakes" (where they line up on their magic carpet kamikazes) every day a zip code away, I want to take the time to put in a shameless and unpaid plug for Hoppe's #9.

Saudi Arabia is the metastasized tumor. Nobody throws more money at Salafist mosques and madrasas worldwide than KSA. Saudi was also the first non-china aligned country to sell their oil in Yuan, they're duplicitous and inept whenever they have to do something themselves.

Well then it's good that they catch some heat from this war. Iran hitting Saudis is like one disease alleviating another.

The US Military is fascinating in how its a combination of century old technology and science fiction stuff. The B-52 was designed during World War 2, and has been in service since the 1950s. The primary crew served machine gun of the Army and Navy is the .50 caliber M2 Browning. Which entered service in 1933 and was designed during World War 1. Even the Mk. 48 torpedo that sank the Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean is just an iteration on the Mk 16 Torpedo with better guidance systems. Which entered service in World War 2.

The Dumb Bombs being dropped now are also World War 2 Bombs with a laser guidance system strapped to them. The idea that the US Military over engineers everything is a myth. We really don't, except in very specific circumstances. For the most part much of our shit is basic bitch military hardware any country could build if it had the inclination to do so. The only science fiction tier stuff we have is the "tip of the spear" equipment. The stuff that goes in first to, I dunno, kill the entire leadership structure of a nation in the first hour of a war.

After that, its pure caveman clubs.

That's why Israel is a major military power (definitely regionally), the Holocaust buck broke us so badly that we haven't let up from the 1940s view of war. (invest in war killing tools and kill anyone who threatens us)

That's not the point. The point is that a conventional war with Russia is a bad idea. Even if we mop the floor with them, they could still set the US back a century through EMPs alone with a bearly-functional nuclear arsenal. The fact that Russia gets wiped off the map is inconsequential to that statement.
 

Iran has released footage allegedly showing an IRGC air defense crew attempting to intercept a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle. The aircraft appears to evade the interception by deploying flares. However, based on the silhouette visible in the footage, the aircraft does not appear to match an F-15 and instead more closely resembles a MiG-29.

It's totally a MiG-29. They almost shot down the Ghost of Tehran!!



Trump renews ultimatum for Iranian military to lay down their weapons or die.

I don't think anything big or important was hit in Israel. We could be seeing the result of a brush fire. Remember, Israel has the topography of Utah.

3 hits were reported as a result of the submunitions. One home, one fire in an open field, and the fire shown above is in a warehouse that was hit in Barakah.

Russia's arsenal is not large enough to knock out the US, Canada, and Europe. That's insanity to think otherwise. In a war with Russia most of their focus would be on their Western front. If you factor in interception then Russia might have enough of an arsenal to fuck up Europe. Nuclear doomsday sayers vastly overestimate nuclear arsenals and the actual efficacy of the weapons.

I don't think it's unreasonable for people to not want this. Far from it, actually. Given the context, and history, it's only natural for people to be apprehensive.

What I do find unreasonable are all the people suddenly claiming Iran isn't a dangerous country responsible for much of the world's problems that did desperately need a regime change. That's just bullshit.

Same with all the fags going "post hand", and "muh dead brown people" whenever someone dares suggest the smallest criticism for this shitshow. It's retarded, and makes it look like said fags can't think of an actual good reason this is happening even though there are several, and they're obvious.

Just that a lot of the posters criticizing are acting like retarded groypers.

That's the step everyone on X (and youtube) seems to miss. Or more likely, they have no idea what SEAD means.

The other day I mentioned the US using anti-radiation missiles on Iran's air defenses so we could bring in heavy bombers. Some idiot then spent a full day flooding my notifications whining about how it's "physically impossible to stop radiation with a missile" and that I'm a "science-illiterate Magat" or something.

People think I'm mad or huffing copeum but I honestly think the USA can win a nuclear war.

I mean would we come out clean? No But we would win.
