The real Iran? Biff, don't get excited, it's not about the woman in the picture.

He sucks at guitar. Probably the worst version of "Hey Joe" ever recorded. Tune your fucking guitar.

Well, Iran has been organizing, training, and equipping proxy forces to attack US personnel for decades. They also launched IRBMs at US forces a couple years back. They had also been blaming us for Israeli strikes and threatening more action. Not sure how much this will really increase the threat level... probably some, but not exactly 0 to 100. Deciding when to use military force is also the job of the President (codified since the War Powers Act).

Yeah, somebody with a big brain tell me the dollar value of having your pacing threat opponent staring at all that tech and equipment it’s spent all this time amassing and wondering if it works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also a FAFO demonstration for other opponents far from our mainland, occasionally AirPower demonstrations real or simulated serve secondary purposes

You can add this to your list: Trump/Operation Midnight Hammer Price Tag: GBU-57 MOP Cost - $3.5 million each/14 total dropped = $49 million. BGM-109 Tomahawk (Block 5) Cruise Missile with Conventional Warhead cost $2 million each/24 total launched = $48 Million. Total Cost = $97 million. - Most of the other costs like fuel/manhours, etc, etc, etc can be characterized as funding for new real world training program/training range (Iran).

Iran parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-urges-china-dissuade-iran-closing-strait-hormuz-2025-06-22/

This had been a lot like the oil filter commercial, "Pay me now or you can pay me later." Since 1979 with the takeover of the U.S. Embassy and holding diplomats hostage for 444 days, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon killing 200+ U.S. marines plus some French troops, the exporting of IED expertise and materials into Iraq killing and maiming our troops, and funding Hezbollah and Hamas for decades maiming, killing, and kidnapping civilians, Iran has been hostile towards the U.S. Iran has been in the FA mode for a long time and finally we have an administration that introduced them to the FO side of the equation. This has been a long time in the making and the demonstrable Iranian track record is more than enough evidence that allowing them to have the most destructive bomb on the planet would be tragic for humanity.

I have heard that, unlike with 11X, changing air frames mid career is more common in 12X. Anyone have any insight on how true this is, how frequently it happens, the process etc? As life changes, I could see moving air frames to accommodate my lifestyle as beneficial and want to take that into account as I move into the pipeline and think about my dream sheet.

Obama - $1.7 billion, including, literally, $400 million in palletized currencies in exchange for U.S. citizens held captive and nuclear behavioral change. Biden - released $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets for more U.S. citizens held captive and nuclear behavioral change. Trump: A different kind of currency delivered for nuclear behavioral change. Which one is more effective and beneficial for U.S. interests?

Powerful and convincing arguments against Trump. One might even say opinions will “tip over” against POTUS, and his administration will capsize after this brutal attack.

It’s ones or zeros man!

One of the most ignorant things I’ve read on this forum. Do you think your buddies didn’t already have targets on their backs? They are surrounded by people who hate them and want them dead; people daily searching for opportunities to hurt them. An intelligent use of limited violence makes enemies less confident, less capable, and therefore less likely to attack your buddies. If we start nation building in Iran, I’ll be speaking up against POTUS. However as of this moment, I think what he ordered will make the region safer. Also, well played on the OPSEC!

Buddy, the idea that peace is attained and maintained through abstention from kinetic acts is the most childish view of the world one could possibly have. Peace has never, and will never come from peaceful actions. It always and forever will be the product of extreme violence. And even then, it relies on the good guys (a rare phenomenon in human history) to want peace as the product of their ruthless and thorough dissemination of death. If Trump follows these bombings with the Marines storming the beaches of Iran, I will agree with your shallow suggestion. Until then, just give it a rest with this utopian bullshit, please. Whining like a baby about Trump putting targets on your buddies' backs is especially hilarious when the people he just fucked up had actual targets on the backs of your friends. Or have we become so weak and pathetic that we forget who our actual enemies are, the ones who have been killing us for years?

She wasn't great. An Air Force 7 at best. But I'm sure the pics are in an OSI file somewhere if you want to try and FOIA them 😂🤣

Classic deflection. I really don't give a shit about what someone who hasn't been in the political scene since 2016 has to say. I care that our President who ran on the platform of no new wars/peace and currently has that power/authority just put targets on the backs of all my buddies still in the shit hole called the middle east. P.S. Full context of this quote: “If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel what would our response be?” Clinton said. “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran. That’s what we will do. There is no safe haven.”

This was inevitable A state fueled by petrodollars, exporting and supporting terrorism, tacitly backed at times by Russia and China with the capacity to threaten the stable trade of hydrocarbons and freedom of significant parts of the global commons was/had to be struck. The reestablishment of deterrence, the definition of the new free world, the update of our alliance structures and trading relationships, the extension of friendship and establishment of inroads to the developing world to choose our system versus the Chinese system and the reformation of our military-industrial-technological-intelligence-development system. This is the challenge for the next leaders on deck and at bat now (Vance, Rubio, Cotton).

You just don't realize all the peace this action is going to bring

I didn't say a word. Or was that directed at the President?

Shut up hippie.
