US Strikes Iran Part 2.

"This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around," Trump said. "We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World."

“U.S. forces have located and evacuated the missing weapons systems officer who was downed over Iran, two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region confirmed to Fox News.”



Miraculously saved !

Thankfully ... !

Doesn't change the reality the BDK's war comparison stats are crap. You can't compare Iran to WWII, Korea or even Vietnam where we didn't enjoy the kind of air superiority that trump and Whiskeyleaks have bragged we have achieved. Iraq and Afghanistan are much better comparisons but if you break down the number of planes actually shot down by the number of years the war lasted, trump's Iran War is not doing well in comparison.

Time to go back to the MAQA yahoo echo chambers and find some more FAKE NEWS or statistics to post in attempt to but, but, but distraction/deflection from the Charlie Foxtrot that Iran is becoming.

In Afghanistan & Iraq were only weeks before they were occupied by US & coalition forces with no uniformed military left. By that point the hajis had virtually nothing to shoot our aircraft down with outside of RPGs, which are only going to be a threat to hovering helos. and a few shoulder fired SAMs (Old Soviet and the Afghan mujahideen still had a few Stingers that we‘d given them in the 1980s when they were fighting the Soviets). There was virtually nothing vehicle mounted.

Iran is a different story because it’s not, and likely won‘t be, occupied. If a country isn‘t occupied, between what they use up, and what and we destroy, could eliminate close to, but not 100%.

The former Centcom Commander says otherwise.

This covers 20 fucking years and two wars. How many of those were shot down? I'd bet all but a tiny percentage of planes lost were mechanical failures or accidents.

Inside the daring rescue of airman behind enemy lines: How CIA assisted with 'deception campaign'
Iranian military was closing in as the overnight operation found the F-15 crew member roughly 48 hours after ejection

The daring U.S. military rescue of a seriously wounded airman is being hailed as an American success story, as President Donald Trump announced "we got him!" and detailed the "AMAZING show of bravery and talent," turning a potential American setback into a show of might.

Details about the rescue are trickling in, including senior administration officials telling Fox News how the CIA deflected enemy attention with a "deception campaign."

The CIA spread word in Iran through multiple sources that U.S. forces had already found the second of two airmen who ejected from their F-15, and were moving him out of Iran in a maritime exfiltration elsewhere, sources told Fox News, but that was designed to buy time to find the stranded weapons system officer.

The CIA picked up a distress signal, passing the intelligence on to the Pentagon and White House, which ordered the immediate rescue mission, according to sources.

There was initial fear the "beacon signal" was an Iranian "trap," sources said.

"There was a lot at stake here," the source said.

Once the CIA confirmed Saturday morning that this was not a trap, the missing airman was located using advanced technical capabilities.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe informed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan "Raizin'" Caine and, ultimately, Trump.

"Within eight hours, we had planes in motion," the source said. "Within almost 12 hours we were on the ground in Iran.

"We've seen before what they do with prisoners. We were going to expend every effort to make sure we got to him first."

The U.S. used MQ9 Reaper drones to protect the area around where the airman was hiding and fired on anything that came close to that area and any area where U.S. forces were operating to prevent crowds or any Iranians from approaching, sources confirmed to Fox News…

…..Israeli intelligence had assisted the CIA in determining the location of the missing WSO and removing doubt about an Iranian "trap," halting its attacks in the area to facilitate the mission, an Israeli security official told Reuters.

"All Israelis rejoice in the incredible rescue of a brave American pilot by America's dauntless warriors," Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in a statement Sunday morning. "This proves that when free societies muster their courage and their resolve, they can confront seemingly insurmountable odds and overcome the forces of darkness and terror."….

I'm taking them at their word and not allowing them off the hook if they're spreading bullshit and bluster.

You are clearly clueless. Irans air defenses HAD been significantly weakened. Trump was clearly selling AIR SUPREMACY without stating it. And he was 100% correct. You can have air supremacy and still have planes shot down. Even after the Allies 1st achieved air superiority, then air supremacy, over Western Europe in 1944, still had a shit ton of planes shot down right up until Germany surrendered early May 1945.

Hegseth actually undersold what we had achieved when he stated the lesser than Air Supremacy AIR SUPERIORITY. Your stating Hegseth‘s statement is BS clearly illustrates you don‘t have a clue what air superiority means.

You clearly have Stage 4 TDS and HDS.

[BDKJMU]

Obomba gave Iran $150 billion in sanctions relief.

Then put $1.7 billion in cash on a cargo plane and flew it to Tehran in the middle of the night.

Wonder where Iran got that $$$ for their nuke program?

How many jets were shot down during initial phases of the Iraq War (2003-2011) when they still had air defense systems? Your comparison doesn't look nearly as good when context is considered.

trump said what he said - Iran couldn't do a thing about American aircraft operating over its territory - and was WRONG! Shooting down our jets is doing a thing about American aircraft operating over its territory.

You're tDS Type II is apparent as you flail about in your attempts to defend trump from any criticism.

Yup

Kind of like how JoBozo Rotten put little Hunter in a drug treatment program, but Hunter never stopped doing the hookers and blow the whole time, impregnating strippers down in Arkansas so fast that poor Joey couldn’t keep up with the number of grandchildren he had.

The world has enabled and spoiled the bad seed Iran just like Dr Jill and dementia Joe tried to spoil the everybody goes to college debtors while Iran was carrying out their evil plans the whole time and laughing at fools like Obumba and JoJo

Iran has been perfectly clear on what their intentions were the entire time and now they’re paying the price

Iran's oil income has already increased by approximately $1 billion since the WAR started. We're already helping to fund the future development of their nukes and other war efforts.

Thank you donald j. trump for your attention to this matter.

So then you would agree that Iran has chosen 1 billion in profits due to the price of oil and trade it all for their whole country being decimated?

A well written and compelling theory on Trump’s war of choice.

On Easter Sunday, today, as Christians worldwide celebrated resurrection and Pope Leo XIV implored world leaders to lay down their weapons, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to demand that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow Persian Gulf waterway critical to roughly 20 percent of the world's oil supply — threatening to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges by Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time if it did not comply, and signing off his expletive-laden post with "Praise be to Allah." Oil markets spiked. Foreign ministries issued statements. Legal scholars warned of war crimes. Cable anchors convened emergency panels. Podcasters and Substackers went online to issue dire warnings and to once again act surprised the madman is, in fact, a madman. The world, it seemed, held its breath.

I am not holding mine. I was raised by a malignant narcissist. I know this behavior. And I know exactly what it is for.
The serious foreign policy analysts are making the same mistake they always make when they try to understand Trump's stupid shit. They are assuming this is about politics and war, the things presidents tend to concern themselves with. It is not. It is about one very pathetic, very broken man's severe and specific personality disorder — and his bottomless need for adulation. Trump's social media threats are not for Iranian eyes. They are for the sad sacks who are starting to realize they might not be able to keep attending his rallies because they suddenly have to sell a kidney for gas money to get there.

This is Trump gaslighting his newly wavering and awakening base, like the two-bit conman and petty thug he has always been. This is a pathetic performance for the mother who never loved him. He doesn't want war. Not real war. Because he doesnt know what that even is. He wants a movie war. He wants a standing ovation………

Tuesday will come and go. The deadline will move. Trump will claim Iran blinked. The analysts will debate whether his strategy worked.

His base will cheer.

He will drink in the narcissistic supply and be satisfied for a day or two, until his abysmal incompetence begins to haunt him once more.
