Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box somewhere in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia). Iran reveals that the range of its missiles far exceeds what it has officially acknowledged. Should be no surprise. Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe...and maybe even England pending whatever asymmetric capabilities! Euro's best dust off those cold war bunkers!

There’s a reason why the U.S./NATO parked what is effectively an Arleigh Burke class DDG in a Romanian field.

Keir Starmer: shivering & sweating, do I piss off daddy and demand no more use of air bases OR kneel to the Mullahs??

Goes to show that the U.S. politicians actually have no idea how much they rely on their allies. They could perhaps do without Spain, but Germany or Britain? They literally would be unable to conduct this operation without the cooperation of Germany and Britain.

Other NATO countries the U.S. are relying on to support combat operations are Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania. They rely on France, the Netherlands and Italy for overflight rights. Also Canada, again for overflight and fuel stops for C-17s.

So...senator Flip-flop, you should be very careful about what you wish for. One day all these countries you rely on to wave your aircraft through may tell you to go pound sand. Now on the flip side this would save us a lot of money...But, American peasants wouldn't see a dime of it.

Ah, seems he's familiar with Gen. Westy 'scorch earth' Westmoreland


Wonder if he's aware of national security adviser Walt W. Rostow alerted LBJ on Feb 10, 1968 about a secret operation (Fracture Jaw) organized by Gen. William Westmoreland that included moving nuclear weapons to South Vietnam. Historian Michael Beschloss discovered the documents.


Barksdale AFB was hit by multiple waves of drones:


Maybe them drones were AMERICAN to pressure congress to hand over $200 billion for the war or maybe this was a battlespace synchronization exercise.


As we learned yesterday, Trump has been fantasizing on seizing Kharg Island since 1988.





Keep the enemy guessing via deception.
