basilico:You know when that happens they will have a reason to blame the president. They do not have any coherent policy besides to block everything Trump does Its like a patient who doesnt want to use the doctors prescription so he can blame the doctor for not getting well |

IjeBos:Barely? Let me tell you why this is not accurate. Because the actual cost of the war is being suppressed by The Clown King, his entire administration, including Centcom. The AN/FPS-132 early warning radar system stationed at the Al Udeid base in Qaatar valued at over $1bn is destroyed. This is the principal early warning missile system as part of the layered system that protects the entire middle east. At a replacement duration of nearly 10 years and cost upwards of 1bn dollars, it is already a huge doubt if that base will ever come alive again. On top of this, the Iranians have destroyed 2 x AN/GSC-52B SATCOM terminals on the Fifth Fleet US Naval Base in Bahrain and cleared the entire Fifth fleet base. The USS Ford and its entire carrier strike group had to retreat, and are now looking to reload at Indian bases. The Iranians also destroyed 4 x AN/TPY-2 Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) Battery and Missile defence systems in the UAE. To put things in perspective, the US has only 10 of these things stationed around the world. Only 10. It's so bad, the US is now looking to move THAAD systems from Korea. Just so you know, the delivery duration by Raytheon for one THAAD system is 3 years. To put things in perspective, the first of 7 to have been delivered to Saudi was delivered only in 2024. Raytheon has not communicated delivery of the remaining 6 units. The combined costs of those 7 units........$2.3bn. Iran has shot down about 12 x MQ-9 reaper drones in only 3 weeks. There's only 250 made by General Atomics. General Atomics stopped making these. They can never be replaced . These things cost $30m a piece. Iran has shot down 4 x F-15 and 1 x F-35 fighter jets, despite what CENTCOM says. It doesn't look good for the US to admit that 4 fighter jets were downed by Iran, especially as the F-35 is sold as "stealth"..... It puts the entire western Military alliance is a state bewilderment. Each F-35 is $83m. It takes about 18months to have one delivered. Iran shot down 1 x KC-135 and destroyed minimum 5 x KC-135 Stratotankers at the Prince Sultan Air base in Saudi. Price per unit, modern adjusted value - $80m per unit. KC135s are EOL. They can never be replaced. Iran has systematically exploited a supply vulnerability in the US' and Israel's missile defense systems by launching in waves, using a combination of drones, missiles and hypersonic missiles in each wave. It's public data that the US had only ever received delivery of 920 missiles from Lockheed Martin.....Ever! The Patriot, THAAD, Arrow, David Sling, and Iron Dome systems all require multiple missile launches per instance, to achieve 92% success rate at neutralising a single inbound projectile. As a result, it's only a matter of time. The US and Israel will run out of Air Defence capability. Maximum Production capacity for these missiles, at least for the THAAD and Patriot Systems, is 92 and a paltry 600 respectively, a year !!!! The US is looking to quadruple production rates, but Lockheed Martin is saying it will take about 7 years to reach those increased numbers. 7 years ! I am not making this up, this is unclassified, publicly available data. Now answer honestly, do you really think based on this, Iran has not done significant damage to the US' military? The only difference is that it is not fought on US soil, and so much of this information is bare from being shared on MSM. The US can see that this war must not run on for months, or else it will spread itself seriously thin, and become a paper tiger overnight. This is why wise heads are prevailing and urging Trump to wind this down quickly. Shock and Awe has not worked against the Iranians. People like us have always known that. By the way, all the while, the US is aware that they have barely touched Iran's underground infrastructure. The US is also aware that not only do the Iranians have a stockpile of missiles, drones, hypersonic missiles, and now ICBMs with range over 4000km, they are aware that Shahed drones are being manufactured in China with industrial replacement capacity of several thousands a month, compared to unit scales of the US. I have not even talked about the geopolitical and economic exploitation of the US. I tell you, it is elite. Save for dropping nuclear bombs on Iran, the Iranians will outlast the US in this war and cause significant military damage to the US, despite it being fought on Iranian soil.... Everything you see up here was meticulously planned for years. |

The fact some here demonise Islam is no surprise and nor is it new, but the basicity of reasoning of some does amuse me especially when they ask one not to use the brain in one's head and the mind that use develops. Anyway, I asked AI to teach some of you who are capable of reasoning that only "a man who is any combination of immature, neurotic, lacking n self control, empathy or a real love for his wife. Just stressed, angry or high even" is afforded the power to beat their wives. I removed your, "Which at some point is pretty much any man who is not perfect" for reasons stated above, and I say here in case you are feeling slurred. And I posted just a first part so you can go ask it yourselves. They said black peril once, and some hear it in the current goings for and can see who's next. P.s. I am annoyed at myself for being distracted from dump burning Rome! Very annoyed with myself!

nateevs:I know the weapons systems that have been lost. Still not denting the US in terms of its projection of power. Iranians may outlast the US, because the US doesn't have the appetite for war, especially the type of war fighting in Iran would take including how devastating it would be for the Global economy. |

Wow. The levels of corruption in this administration. Does anyone believe this was just coincidence?

basilico:My brother in Christ, Barack Obama earned the nickname 'déporter in chief' without having to resort to these shenanigans. In its current form, it simply cannot continue this way. Reform or abolish. |

Unlimited22:Lmao, clueless. Everyone worked with Obama, no leftist trying to stop them from doing their job. The cages y'all cried about for were built by Obama. Everyone smiled at it then till Trump came. |

raumdeuter:Except Trump was the one who basically fired the old DHS head, Noem. If it were working as swimmingly as you think why did that happen? Democrats are doing what Republicans won't, using the check they have (funding) to sop the abuses at ICE. You seem to be even nuttier than Trump and think ICE killing American citizens protesting is A-ok. Maybe you should direct some of that faux-concern you have about people in Iran being gunned down while peacefully protesting to the US. |

Oh . Cos I thought?

IjeBos:No one protests peacefully by running over law enforcement, Anywhere you try that you risk getting shot What has firing DHS Noem got to do with shutdown, You seem to be missing some education as usual |

How long before IjeBos and cococandy move to a red state for a better life 😂😂😂 Some of here here in Port Harcourt will move to Lagos for better opportunities even how noisy Lagos can be. Newly released IRS data shows Red States GAINED $39 BILLION in net income in 2023 compared to Blue States LOSING $43 BILLION. Net Adjusted Gross Income Gains: Florida: +$20.6 Billion Texas: +5.3 Billion South Carolina: +$4.1 Billion California: -$12.9 Billion New York: -$10.5 Billion Illinois: $6.1 Billion Massachusetts: -$4.1 Billion

raumdeuter:Billionaires are running away left and right. If democrats are so good with welfare, middle class people and billionaires will stay instead of the exodus we are witnessing. Per capita, homelessness is the identity of a blue state |
