June 22Jun 22 You're sure about that? Why? What exactly makes you think that he won't find a reason to send troops somewhere for no particular reason? Vibes? We got lied into going to Iraq. What makes it different this time?Well, people are more informed and skeptical now than we were in 2001. 4 generations had just been hurt in ways not seen since Pearl Harbor. And the two older generations alive at the time were supportive too.No social media, ALL were less skeptical then.This won’t be a repeat.
June 22Jun 22 30 minutes ago, ABSR said: Why do people keep saying war? Iran may say that but assuming the bombings destroyed the nuclear facilities we are done. We are not putting boots on the ground. Will they try to strike out through terrorists or their proxies, yes if they can. But Hamas and Hezbollah are severely weakened and that leaves Houthis and maybe attacking US bases in Iraq or the area. But any immediate direct Iranian attack will likely be a show of force for perception purposes. Worst thing they can do is directly cause some real damage because that would invite more US attacks. Unfortunately it's not as easy as hitting their sites and saying it's over now peace. What happens if they close the strait or start hitting what's left of our forces in iraq, Syria, Kuwait or Saudi with their CRBMs? I hope our involvement in this is over, but the dildo of unintended consequences, well you know the rest.

They aren’t likely to attack our forces while solely in foreign positions. They’ll threaten, but doubtful it happens.

True, but doing anything of substance would lead to massive US response and active efforts for regime change. The mullah’s want to survive first and foremost. And shutting Hormuz impacts them as much as others and severely impacts China oil supply…and China is going to be their main supporter for peace in order to avoid disturbing the flow of oil.

June 22Jun 22 So what path would the bombers take? Was all of the talk of B-2’s taking off from the states a bit of misdirection, would they still be in the air should a follow up be needed at first light?
June 22Jun 22 Not quoting twitter, in fact, wish I could just not see them, but how soon will there be verification that Fordow is actually damaged/destroyed by this? Thank you for your attention to this matter!
June 22Jun 22 So what path would the bombers take? Was all of the talk of B-2’s taking off from the states a bit of misdirection, would they still be in the air should a follow up be needed at first light?The B2s over the pacific were a complete misdirection. Zero chance they could have made it to Iran in time for these strikes.Militarily this seems to have been an exceptional operation.
June 22Jun 22 Not quoting twitter, in fact, wish I could just not see them, but how soon will there be verification that Fordow is actually damaged/destroyed by this? Thank you for your attention to this matter!I would think less than 24 hours. It’s almost daylight there, satellites and scans will be telling. We will also be learning in those same hours based on the Iranian response.

There isn't some kind of 10-run mercy rule where the umpires declare the game over and everybody goes home. It's only over when Iran decides it is.

June 22Jun 22 Some quick screen grabs and a quote from Reuters Spoiler U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said that a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran had been carried out, including at Fordow. In a posting on Truth Social, Trump added, "All planes are safely on their way home" and he congratulated "our great American Warriors." Israel launched the attacks on Iran more than a week ago, saying that it wanted to remove any chance of Tehran developing nuclear weapons. Iran has argued that its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes. Diplomatic efforts by Western nations to stop the hostilities had so far been unsuccessful. In another social media posting Trump said, "Fordow is gone." Trump appeared to be referring to the underground nuclear storage facility in Natanz. The bombing came after B-2 bombers had been dispatched to Guam earlier on Saturday, according to U.S. sources. A U.S. official told Reuters that B-2 bombers were involved in the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. It was still unclear whether any Israeli forces were involved in this latest bombing, which significantly expanded the scope of the hostilities. Trump is set to address the nation at 10:00 p.m. ET (0200 GMT), according to his post on Truth Social. Stay with us -- we'll carry updates from that live.
June 22Jun 22 But the Prez says “now is the time for peace” so…I guess it’s all over. No harm, no foul
June 22Jun 22 that had to use B52's with that many tomahawks ??The GBU-57, aka bunker buster, is really only deployable by the B2. Far too heavy to deploy by missile.The tomahawks are there to take out surface targets.

We can fuck them up as long as they want to keep going without ever touching a boot to the ground. I like this approach better than paying them a bunch of cash.

June 22Jun 22 Thank you for your attention to this matter? Holy shit. Sounds like HR telling us to keep the microwave clean.That was 100% written by an Army gomer.

I like this approach better than paying them a bunch of cash. The bulk of their military leaders are dead. They've killed iirc just 24 Israelis. The potential of nukes and I'm guessing a goodly amount of other tactical assets got swept off the board. We have no idea what's occurred under the radar, but Iran doesn't have a lot left to even keep their own government afloat right this minute.

I’m more concerned with long term consequences of radicalizing other countries/groups against us for “meddling into their affairs” than Iran’s direct response against us. Also, the Prez tweeting “now is the time for peace” right after such a strike makes me think of a kid punching another kid and then Immediately saying “Truce! truce!”
