IF you had told me 10 years ago, that i would be cheering on Iran to beat the shit out of American troops, I would not have believed you. But here we are.....

Trump and Hogsbreath are both incompetent imbeciles! Neither one of them should be responsible in any way for the protection of this country!
DJOldguy
Well, obviously this has terrible ramifications for the people of Iran. They can expect that hospitals and schools and apartment blocks of no military value will be blown up. If they can't guide the missiles to the right targets, anything can happen- with no consequence.

The Empire is engaging in war on multiple fronts. It won't take much for it to collapse, now. But, uh... do you think, just maybe, you guys could get ready for a civil war and make another front on the homefront? Asking on behalf of the rest of the planet.

WaPost cites evidence that Russia is giving Iran target intelligence. Trump badmouths a FoxNews host for bringing that up. We are royally screwed.
mytruepersonality
that seams reasonable of them, since pedos want to bomb them again.

I was listening to Hegseth’s jingoistic speech earlier today. And as I listened, I said that I feared that his comeuppance would come with a price tag measured in lives of American soldiers. The only question was how high.
Welp…🤷🏾♂️

So it was built in open terrain with no basic point defense or hardening. Typical

Does it make me a bad person or anti-American that this sort of news makes me happy? We shouldn't have attacked Iran whatsoever, to begin with. I'm glad they're fighting back and putting the oligarchs and cannibalistic pedophiles in check. Trump and Netanyahu need to be erased from the future.

In reference to your title: they're both racist enough that that's absolutely plausible.

I mean they're calling us the American Pedophile Regime and I really can't poke any holes in that.

And the more stuff gets destroyed, the more taxpayer money will be funneled to the military industrial complex.
EVERYBODY (who matters) wins.
Dead soldiers on both sides, taxpayers in the US, displaced civilians in the Middle East, dead schoolgirls, etc? It's their own fault for not paying off the people who matter.

It's troublesome that more and more news websites are throwing "agree to our Terms of Service" pop-ups to view/use their website.
No, thank you, bloomturd. I'll go elsewhere for my news.

That's a result of the EU's e-privacy directive, which requires websites to ask for consent before grabbing your data (e.g., IP address) and storing cookies on your device. International websites who don't have this prompt have to block users with EU-based IP addresses (which many US websites do instead; very annoying when you live in Europe). Up until this legislation passed they were all stealing data and infecting you with tracking cookies without your knowledge.

Update: Iran has destroyed 2 THAAD radar systems. The US had a grand total of 9 THAAD and now we have 7. Week 1 and Iran is beating the US at their own game of air superiority. This administration is definitely dumb enough to respond to these defeats by going all in with troops on the ground and losing even harder.

Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say

The military has to be the biggest form of sunken cost fallacy of modern times. Imagine where we would be as a planet if after WWII we all just said: "Ok that was a total waste of energy and money, lets just put all our effort into improving everyone's life." All those billions pumped into education, research and urban development, instead of all this defence stuff that basically is the equivalent of single use plastics.
Eiladar
300 Million? Compared to our Defense Budget, that'll cover like a two martini lunch.
JesaraB
Can't even make 2 commercials with that kind of money
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
USA allies "Accidentally" shot down 3 planes in 1 day (with USA missiles) and it cost about 50% more than this radar system. USA is spending 1 billion a day, 1.3b is a drop in the bucket.
hotaru251
People (cultists) in america are goign to learn that Iran is NOTHING like Iraq was....Iran is large and has a military and isnt hiding in caves. This will last ages and both sides are going to suffer greatly. Trump & his Israeli master are 100% to blame and their followers are guilty by supporting the uncalled for attack that started it.
Hangonthere
*bigly
AtmaDarkwolf
Yup. First hit only shimmed away some of the most obvious stuff they had. AND took out the 'leader' that wanted to go out that way anyways (HEROIC INSTANT DEATH vs a slow decline by cancer, which is what he actually probably deserved?) and the attack only gives them the 100% legal excuse to smack down a LOT of the infrastructure the USA (And Israel) need to maintain ANY level of operations in the middle east. This is not going to 'end' with Iran, and THAT will take a long time itself.
AtmaDarkwolf
IMO if this was done with any intelligence behind it, it was an attempt to spark off WWIII, and if it was done .. well as we expect, from the shit show lead by the child raping, nazi adoring, shit splattered clown's normal lack of any kind of understanding of anything yet steadfast allusion that he is right about everything, it is just another blunder in a long, long line of blunders, all intended as 'distractions' from the last blunder. Remove that fool already America.
hotaru251
wouldnt of ever sparked ww3.
People need realzie a scuffle (iran is victim in this) between 3 countries isnt a world world people just like to throw that stupid term to make it seem more scary than it is. (as that gets attention)
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Nice job, Iran. :)
TodayInSA
More than likely it was Russia. They have the satellites that could easily identify these sites in the months leading up to the war. Its not like the US moved them once the war started, or even warned the operators that the war was starting. So Iran could quite easily pre-program a bunch of attack destinations and radar would be the primary one.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
So, Russia does something good for global peace?
ExecutiveProducerWolfDyck
What'd they use to blow up the anti-missile defense?
realrealluckless
I think they used missiles...

Any conflict with Iran the US always knew it was going massive cluster fuck of them launching as many missiles as they can to overwhelm Air defense systems. The US military plan in cases like this aren't to match them interceptor to missile. Air defense job was to hold out till Air force takes out all the launchers. which at the start of day 8, Iran missile launches have dropped from a peak of 350 in a day to 15 and peak of over 500 drones to 12.
JustSomePersonThere
Where do you get those numbers?
kingbudo101
Counting know launches from open source data. Liveua is a good reference
kingbudo101
these numbers are out of date, buy by day 4 missile launches were down 87% and drone launches were down 75% https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-us-israel-conflict-2026/card/iran-missile-launches-down-86-centcom-says-A352TjLWsZ0za02bVSdP?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqc6VGjKYKbFMCXfuu8OboavfY7DTyUQSRamrcJWglDCJr8eKcftf69SVfOwc0A%3D&gaa_ts=69ac3340&gaa_sig=yZqdggvZrfDOJfuYgPYqOi3oVQgtvZ58bm4ACmWQBEsZVco-i85DkNdcq_lAlDVHR8kZwMvtgMFgqZJwcG-hIA%3D%3D open source data corroborates the percentages
JustSomePersonThere
Thank you for sharing.
VegaJuniper
Drones are also an issue. The US air defense isn't built for cheap, mass produced drones, and a single patriot missile costs an order of magnitude more than a shaheed, and you have to fire more than one to guarantee a hit. Interestingly, there's someone who knows a lot about quick and cost-effective methods to defeat Iranian drones, and that's Ukraine. The US could have gone and consulted with them, but apparently they simply didn't.
kingbudo101
Drone launches are also down over 90% since the beginning of the conflict
VegaJuniper
Apparently Ukrainian counter-drone specialists are now being flown in to the region, but by the Brits not the Americans. I bet the Americans aren't even going to say thank you.
mrthewhitee
To be more specific, I think they thought it was another Afghanistan.
squishybaker
they probably forgot that Iran used to be somewhat allied to the US, and the US sold them a fuck ton of equipment, cut them off for parts and servicing, then Iran had to get good quickly at reverse engineering, and has a bunch of semi-recent Russian and Chinese gear besides their home grown.
req4adream99
Tbf Afghanistan was a cluster fuck of monumental proportions, and we really didn’t “win” there as much as occupy the major cities and let the rural areas do what they wanted.

And we were still stuck there for almost 20 years

Don't forget all the Afghani's that got bombed and tortured for oil and capitol, too.

Don't be silly, there are non partisan senior enlisted personnel who advise the president on these issues.
It's not like a third world country where people would be scared to present facts to the president.

And it's not like the civilian government fired a bunch of senior generals and admirals just before the operations commenced.
