The Euros throwing a shit fit and not letting us use the bases we pay for gives Trump a stronger case for snatching Greenland.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed American diplomats worldwide to press governments to take swift action against Iran’s IRGC and Iran-backed groups over an “elevated risk of attack,” according to ABC News.
The directive, sent to all diplomatic posts, calls for the message to be delivered at the highest levels by March 20. It urges countries to increase pressure on Iran, designate groups like Hezbollah as terrorist organizations, and coordinate efforts, potentially with Israel, to weaken Iran’s military and proxy networksThere's that March 20th date again. It's as if something is going to happen on Friday.
300 Basij field agents were reportedly killed in overnight strikes on key command and operational centers of Iran’s Basij forces, according to Iran International
The strikes appeared to hit the logistics and command structure of a force long used to suppress dissent and confront anti-government protests. In one of the most critical attacks, a Basij support unit’s repair and maintenance center was hit. The site housed hundreds of vehicles and motorcycles used in street operations and neighborhood patrols. Initial reports said the fleet was destroyed.
Facilities linked to the Mohammad Rasoulollah Corps, the IRGC unit responsible for the greater Tehran area, were struck.Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

Losses are expected in a situation like that. No need to risk losses in the current situation.
No.
B-52s have two home bases, Minot, ND and Shreveport, LA (Barksdale AFB). The only place they regularly deploy to is Guam but that's a rotation shared with B-1s and B-2s. They don't fly with nukes ever. Not sure if Guam has nukes stored there or not, my guess is not.
What we are seeing now is an irregular deployment for combat. They don't normally deploy to the UK. Peacetime, if not deployed to Guam, they will be at their home base.

At this point its in both America and European best interest if someone, anyone forces them to mobilize their millitary and take shit seriously even if it has to be the US who does it. We should take not only Greenland but also all those islands in the Caribbean. Tell them they can have it back when they make us give it back.

The divorce rate is something i don't care about. Its the insane percentage of HIV. Plus the orthodoxy got heavily neutered thanks to the communist government they were under.
Oh hey, its a bunch of stuff you would expect a shia aligned sandmonkeys to ha
>alcohol being displayed like its some kind of fucking incriminating material
Oh yeah, alky is illegal in Kuwait. Forgot that not all of the gulf is as lenient with alky like UAE is. also lol at the Ayatollah images that came after. So much for the shia being pious lol.
It still weirds me out just how much the gulf states got treated with kid gloves (especially as opposed to iran, what with mossadegh and the British government being spergs). Hell, out of all the British colonial states. The arab money guys got some grade A treatment from the brits(which in a way is reflected in the case of the brits and the emirates).
Anyhow, while i wish for an alternate universe where the saudis got sanctioned up the ass and iran was the west's greatest ally(and greatest oil supplier),unless if America wants to be a Israel-tier pariah state among Muslims(not that it isn't, just less) then unfortunately the murican flag flying over mecca will never happen. Not to mention the implications of a non muslim state ruling over a country that has the holy cities of mecca and Medina Only way i could see that happening is a bunch of muricans "convert" to islam and rule it with impunity. Else you're just risking getting allahu akbared by muds 24/7.

Oh yeah this is definitely going way beyond the expected timeline of the operation, the winning party doesn't beg other countries to please please please do something about Iran, why not let Israel do this instead?, they're the one that has the incentive to eviscerate Iran.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed American diplomats worldwide to press governments to take swift action against Iran’s IRGC and Iran-backed groups over an “elevated risk of attack,” according to ABC News.

To help you understand the bind European governments are in, and why they got to this point, it's all fundamentally rooted in neoliberalism and the democratisation of morality.
You see, there's this infinitely regressive loop where:
1) Academics & Intellectuals (left-wing, 'authority') say: "Trump bad because [nebulous reason]" in the USA.
2) US Media, which is overwhelmingly anti-Trump, says X, Y, Z—this is also paired with the formerly Leftist-dominated social media websites all more or less sharing the same sentiment.
3) European media (also left-aligned by and large) parrot the US Media, conveying the same thing to the populace.
4) Europeans, ignorant by and large on American affairs unless they spent a lot of time online, take said media as gospel.
5) Based purely on what they hear from the media, Europeans have a low view of Trump because they're told to in effect.
6) European leaders, operating off of media, "intellectuals," capital & university Leftists, and polling influenced by the aforementioned media-muddying, see that people don't like Trump.
7) So, like any other issue—green-policy astroturfing, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, trannies and so on—European leaders will just do what they think will best preserve their popularity with no regard for common sense.
This is what creates the oft-schizophrenic relationship Europe has with the USA. Sometimes common sense eeks out, other times they have to "put their foot down" because they don't want it to negatively affect their election prospects. You saw it with Ukraine and Palestine. Remember the number of times European leaders seemed to allude to doing "something" against Russia, or recognising a Palestinian state? They're these large, strongman statements that ultimately amount to nothing because of this battle they're in with logical foreign policy decisions and this arguably media-manufactured view of America from the local media forces and intelligentsia.
You can't even begin to comprehend the sheer apathy of most Euros. Though this Iran-thing has made me angrier at the media. Worked my mum into a panic over fuel because the one day it was over $100 a barrel, almost every news programme talked about this shit like it was the literal end of days. I don't think many people over the age of 40-45 can even handle this sort of media hysteria.

Because we don't know how a nuclear exchange would be fought. Whether it would be just a few limited nukes going off in tactical locations, which could escalate further (say we bomb your army, so we bomb two of yours and so forth). Which means you want as much stuff nuclear capable and ready to deploy arms such that in a prolonged nuclear exchange, you're able to mount a response. Hence why Nuclear Submarines are so important.
The reason why such a nuclear exchange can even occur is that we can identify the trajectories of an inbound warhead via satellite, and we can use metrics such as the doppler effect, light and on so on to know where it is roughly heading. So, it may not always be the best idea to aim for Silos on a first strike, or an airbase if you're only wanting to do limited damage. It is very much a case of "I'm ready to use my nukes now so shut up, and get ready to talk".
It is just that we like to think of nuclear wars as being a full counterforce and countervalue campaign which really is not the case.
Presuming China's military is at least competent, they would actually have quite a good chance when it comes to fighting Taiwan primarily because they have the benefit of force concentration, and can overwhelm US aligned forces in the region, presuming their equipment is of a sufficient quality and they can maintain manufacturing capability (which they have been building up, and China does have the largest supply of rare earths which are critical in modern military arms).I find it funny how some of the bric simps live in a parallel universe.
A war with China would allow China to focus all of their assets on Taiwan, and the surrounding islands. This is the main concern for planners, and is something I will continuously return to. This is on the basis of America having sufficient material they can deploy to counter China.
See why it was necessary for strategic planners to begin taking out threats elsewhere? Venezuela, they are in a position very close to the States. Something that could be a great fortress, and to keep US war planners in a "will they, will they not" kind of situation. Same with Iran, who has been willing to exert influence, and threaten western interests and have shown their insanity with throwing munitions all across the Middle East. Say what you will about Europe, they are at least prepared to fight Russia and the US would be less required to bring forces for that reason.
This means that the US has a lot of different theatres to contend with, which means diluting their naval strength so that any major adversary would be able to have a fleet in being capable of forcing the US from bringing assets away from anywhere. If in the past the US would have liked to keep a carrier strike group in the Middle East because of Tehran, if that threat is neutralized then it can be redeployed elsewhere. The US is now back at only 10 carriers in service because of the retirement of Nimitz, which means they are waiting on the JFK to get back to 11 ships, and are currently down 1 Amphibious Assault Ship (the USS Bonhomme Richard which had to be scrapped following a fire, that ship was capable of carrying 20 F-35Bs).
(I believe I've explained this logic before but I digress, the entire point is to ensure that America is on the best footing to fight China)
In an ideal world for China, Iran would have been in a great shape. Russia would have been a constant point of consideration for NATO and distract a lot of their naval and air build-up. Venezuela would have just been sitting there. But now, the conditions are now gone and the US is able to be a lot more lenient in keeping stuff there. This is not the case, and now China will have to second guess whether or not they have ample numbers. Of course, as I've already mentioned they have the home turf advantage which means they get access to land assets. Naval aviation is less critical.
What the US is doing now is basically dealing with the problem that came about with the Anglo-German naval arm's race, where each country was rapidly building up their naval assets. Tirpitz having believed Germany only needed 2/3rd of the size of the Royal Navy to actually threaten the Royal Navy in the North Sea, given Britain had the whole Empire to worry about. The British instead chose to bring all their major ships to the North Sea, and any attempts of Germany to break the blockade didn't work. This seriously limited the Mediterranean and other fleets, but thankfully due to British diplomatic maneuverers at the time, it was not all that much of a worry. Why? Well, Britain was friendly with Japan and basically was building their navy at this time. They were doing same with the South American countries. France and Russia were on their "side", and Italy was Italy.
This is also why Britain was unable to send a major naval force to the Pacific in the second World War until pretty much end. They had to contend with both Germany and Italy in the second World War. As first, the British ships were built for the Atlantic (hardened flight decks, aircraft tenders, more guns on their ships) and land based aircraft like the Stuka which could divebomb. Second, because of the Washington Naval Treaty and how it set the Imperial Japanese Navy at around 60% of the size of the Royal Navy (not like Japan cared at the end). If America didn't get involved with Indochina and embargoing Japan, Japan would have been able to do as they pleased. against Britain, the Dutch and whoever else remained (at sea at least). And the ships that Britain did send in the onset of the pacific war? Well, Force Z wasn't all that really strong, with a treaty Battleship (Prinze of Wales) and a really outdated WW1 Battlecruiser, HMS Repulse which only had 6 WW1 era 15 inch guns. Naval aviation was not sent. The only over main British capital ship that would see use in the pacific would be Victorious (an Illustrious Class Carrier) for a brief period following refits in the US after 1942.
But then again, it would very much be a pyrrhic victory because they'd be blockaded in major trade routes and would not have the logistical capacity to wage global war. Even the Royal Navy and French Navy is better than them at it.
First, rivers exist and some countries use them to say they have a navy, such as countries in the Danube or the Rhine.

This is fuckin' AI slop, bro. Just because they remove the em dashes doesn't make it much harder to spot. AI writing pads its word count by giving you tons of "it's not this, it's that" and "here's the real problem/here's what that means" filler you could just remove without impacting the meaning of the paragraph. It also makes lists into short sentence fragments, short sentences, or repetitive lists instead of efficiently listing, comma-separating, or using conjunctions. So if I'd been AI writing that previous sentence, I'd say: "It also makes lists into sentence fragments. Sometimes short sentences. It doesn't use conjunctions, it doesn't make efficient lists. It doesn't separate lists with commas." It also frequently uses words like "chaos" and "calculus" and "quiet/quietly/silent," far more than average human writing.
This copy has been run through a "humanizer" that adds grammar and punctuation mistakes while removing em dashes to make people think it's human-generated (but it's not).

It definitely feels like there's been a general shift from "WE NEED TO END THIS WAR NOW! MUH STRAIT! MUH GAS PRICES!" to "You limp-wristed fucks really, really, really don't want to be caught blowing in the wind when all this shit goes down."
Nah, Trump was clear yesterday that this is more about testing which allied nation actually has the nerve to pitch in when something directly affecting them pops off, and so far, they've all come off as rather unimpressive.

Sidenote, A buddy of mine is currently enrolled in the german army and what he tells me from basic is astounding.
They dropped all standards regarding physical fitness and it is basically the norm nowadays that direct orders get disregarded by recruits.
The officers who do the training got instructed to go as easy as possible, there is a directive that everybody has to pass basic training.
They are struggling for more recruits still and are desperate.
My suspicion is that the sole reason for this piss-easy basic training and the talks about reinstituting a draft in Germany is not about having an actual army but about reaching a NATO ordered number of soldiers, soldiers that are not intended to ever enter combat (not that they are fit to do so anyway) but solely to fulfill a Quota.

Let’s be honest. Europeans are simply scared shitless of angering their Muslim population.They are a big enough minority that even if 1 in 10 started rioting, they’d be unstoppable.
