THIS! Unfortunately, the 10 percent is what the public sees and forms their opinion. People see gas prices and not much else. Taking out Iran's oil industry is really the only option at this point. Turn off their cash flow. Even if they hit their Gulf neighbors they'll watch as everyone else rebuilds and restart production while they sit on the sideline. They will run out of missiles and I'm sure most if not all of their manufacturing capability is a pile of smoking rubble at this point. On a side note, harsh sanctions against Japan in the 40s pushed them to attack Pearl Harbor and we all know how that movie went. They also had no hope of competing logistically with the US and after 1942 more and more of their assets were the start of artificial reefs with no way to replace them. History repeats.

WSJ is unclear about the last 2 crew members, reporting 4 killed, holding out hope for the last two. Good job by the other crew getting that bird back on the ground.

Well if anyone else is still waiting orders and hasn't attended MFS that is probably why. AFPC got back to me and told me I won't get an assignment until MFS complete, even though I went originally as an RPA Pilot a couple years ago. Was tracking this was not the case so this will be a fun bureaucratic mess to clean up. Follow up is if you went to MFS (RPA Pilot) but only got cleared for GBO you WILL have to reattend MFS to get cleared up to FC1. If you got cleared up to FC1 when you went originally it should be VFR direct to your UPT base. Since they sent all the folks to Laughlin short notice MFS is backed up so anyone awaiting an assignment may be in limbo until dates at wright patt become available.

Sure, but I don't see behind any curtains anymore. In short, Russia is a dog we cornered that we have to be very careful with. We're probably doing this for the same reason the US Government limited Ukraine's starlink access as they tried to advance into Russian territory: Russia have nukes on functional ICBMs pointed at western nations. Cutting off Venezuela and Iran in Russian oil calculus has made our sanctions that much more effective. I'd imagine we now have to carefully meter just how tightly we squeeze. Too hard and we get nukes airborne. It's a position of power that has to be carefully managed. Again, that's from my non read-in perspective. If I've learned one thing, it's that open source media is never privy to the behind the scenes negotiations that end up changing all the diplomatic calculus of how, precisely, the US is screwing over other countries. I'd guess this article is us seeing 10% of what's actually going on.
