The incident of the USS Liberty they recount, and the watershed moment it heralded so soon after JFK’s public execution, and what it since meant for Anglo vs Zionazi relations, and for the entire combined West, is most timely. And that the Samson guns are aimed as much against Europe as against Persia, if not more so. Could our desperados in Europe be more afraid of Zion than Uncle Schmuel??

Just watch the first 3-5 min or so to see the pained admission. He states the obvious which can no longer be hidden. A seeming impasse was reached, if one believed the breathless and bombastic Orange narrative of “ceasefires”.

But that decision by Russkie had been made several years ago.. I recall an excellent article by MKB where he stated baldly after one momentous Russian Security Council meeting that the Russians had resolved to humiliate the combined West and create irreversible facts on the ground. That was ever the only practical response to worthless documents and words and the betrayal and aggression of centuries. To bury the bastards.

So, on January 21st, the head was briefly turned to peer at the next set of worthless bombast, but quickly averted again. And the Grinder never paused the essential work all the while. 5,000 years of Babylonia continues to burn beautifully and go up in smoke in our blessed rich, fat, and black soil of Novorossiya

“Many accusations and allegations have been made. And, of course, we are open to criticism,” said Mr. Rasmussen. “But, to be honest, we don’t like the tone in which they are expressed.”

“This is no way to talk to close allies,” said the Danish foreign minister. “And I always consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies.”

Mr. Rasmussen said he accepted the US argument that it “needs a larger military presence in Greenland, as Vice President Vance mentioned tonight,” and that he was willing to discuss it.

“We, Denmark and Greenland, are quite willing to discuss this with you in a spirit of openness.

“The fact is, we have all reaped the benefits of peace. We all assumed that the Arctic was and should be an area of ​​low tension. But that time is over.

⭕ ‼️ New Status Quo

Since the Putin/Trump phone chat several days ago, at least two things have become indelible:

1. the Russians are dictating the terms of capitulation in the failed NATO proxy war in Ukraine;
2. Russia and China are in close coordination and are indivisible.

🔻 WS: 📜 In for a Pound
🔻 WS: 📜 Dictating Terms
🔻 WS: 📜 Open Defiance
🔻 WS: 📜 The Bitter Pill of Decisive Strategic Defeat
🔻 WS: 📜 All for One and One for All
🔻 C1: China immediately encouraged both sides to agree to the 30 day ceasefire basically as soon as the Trump admin came out with it. They’re not gonna let it harm the Russia-China relationship but they want this to end more than Russia does rn it’s not a precedent they like
🔻 WS: I disagree with this assessment 100%. I don’t believe China has any other posture towards the war in Ukraine other than to say to the Russians: “You deal with this problem in your neighborhood as you see fit and necessary.”
🔻 C1: Then why come out with that headline in the party newspaper immediately upon the US announcing Ukraine agreed to the ceasefire and before Russia had had any chance to even comment?

Again not an issue China will let derail their relationship with Russia. Not even close. But they want this over sooner than Russia does atm.
[china does not do public “diplomacy” unlike some. Do not interpret based on the wrong civilizational template. And none of us outside the elites of the civilizational-states are privy to the terms of capitulation being discharged per force by the desperados of the Orange Effluvia Crew]
🔻 WS: I do not subscribe to this assessment. Public messaging is not an indication of actual realpolitik policy. I adamantly do not believe China is advising Russia in any meaningful fashion in relation to how they choose to resolve the situation in Ukraine.
[indeed. If the Celestial Emperor has any input, it may be to say, “Please dearest brother Vladimir, cook the devils like piroshki for another half eternity. We gotta build our harmonious multi-nodal world, and for that we need to keep Lilliputian Legion adequately distracted and busy, and helping fertilize the already rich, black, fat soil of mother Novorossiya]

🔻 Jes_J_Bel: There are now believed to be 9 B-2s at Diego Garcia, half the fleet of them, it seems Trump made up his mind to attack Iran. So will Russia & China aid Iran in tracking and destroying them? At some point, all the talk of alliances has to be put into practical effect.

Curious to hear what @ArmchairW , @imetatronink, @GeromanAT and @HistoryLegends_ think about this: |media|
[i posted as YouTube above as well]
🔻 WS: I thought it was a fascinating interview.

Probably my favorite part was when he was describing how the American mercenaries stayed as far behind the front lines as possible, and refused to participate in any hard fighting.

As I’ve often asserted, the US military is not prepared to fight the kind of war we are now seeing here in 2025.
🔻 Nebojša Malić: I would like to think the brass at the Pentagon have watched this and learned from it too… but something tells me otherwise.
🔻 Steveo: I wish I could find it… But there’s an article where Mujahideen from Afghanistan who fought both compared US and Russian solders. They say American are pussies and Russians `real men.
⭕ cont. thread:
🔸️The US has spent 16 months, 5 carrier strike groups, mountains of hard-to-replenish and extraordinarily expensive precision weaponry — and yet the Yemeni remain the gatekeepers of the Bab el-Mandeb.

It’s one of the most humiliating battles in American military history.
🔻 Tybernicus: [the clown posts photo of B-52 as a threat for Iran]
🔻 WS: Do you know how many US aircraft were lost to enemy fire in Vietnam? How many B-52s and F-4s were shot down by 1950s-era Soviet AD?

Yeah, war is all fun and games until the other guy starts shooting back at you.

Iran is MUCH more powerful than were the Vietnamese.
🔻Tybernicus: LOL
yet we are generations ahead of the tech of the 60s/70s and way ahead of Iran and the Houthis.
[this feels like Hegseth playing with the phone, or on himself or with one of scions of General Ripper]
🔻 WS: 🤦‍♂️ You posted a photo of a B-52 built in the 1950s.

Second-tier Iranian ballistic missiles blew right through American Patriot, THAAD, SM-3s, and Israel’s “Paper Dome”.

You are woefully misinformed.

If the US attempts an air campaign against Iran, they will lose many aircraft.
🔻 Jason: Hitting them [Houthis] is a waste of time. They should be hitting Iran hard
🔻 WS: You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Trying to make big war against Iran will become a disaster for the US and Israel, and anyone who believes otherwise knows nothing about 21st century warfare and the current power differentials between nations.
📜 Geography
📜 Scorch Marks in the Sand
🔻 Jason: Where the starting condition is peace I’d agree with you but Iran is waging war through its proxies. There is no point in bombing huts in Yemen. Its whack a mole with no end.

Iranian regime lacks popular support to wage war against Israel / US. Deal with Iran or don’t bother!
[the blood lust is so high up. Don’t bother trying to reason. The Fools bay for their own civilizational suicide, but do not comprehend. Alas, Babylon! After the Ashes….]
🔻 Nada Botski: Are you suggesting that we stop playing around and get serious ?
🔻 WS: I have no idea what that would look like.
🔻 Allen Bland: Marines landing and an incursion into sovereign Yemeni territory.
🔻 WS: What is the objective?

How many Marines do you imagine it would take to accomplish this objective?
🔻 Allen Bland: The objective would be another pointless land war in the Middle East. We’re better off using surgical strikes to eliminate HVTs.
⭕🔹 For anyone out there who believes the US can mount a ground invasion of Iran, I challenge you to describe an order of battle and a credible operational scenario.

🔹 For those who believe an air campaign alone will defeat Iran, describe for me a credible chain of events.
🔻 El Kinch: What’s Gaza about the size of New Jersey? They’ve obliterated it and haven’t won. Can you imagine trying to do the same to Iran? When will we learn we can’t defeat a determined foe with bombs? And very few Americans would ever agree to a land invasion with it’s mass casualties.
🔻 WS: Gaza is less than 2% the size of New Jersey.
🔻 C2: Would seem to me that war, winning, and conquering is not the goal, rather than just the goal being disabling their nuclear program in some fashion, (Though war may be a result).
🔻 WS: You’re describing a strategic air campaign.

Iran, if they have not already done so, could assemble a potent IRBM with a nuclear warhead in a matter of days.

How could the US possibly alter that reality?
🔻 DB Cooper: They wouldn’t even need to. I don’t think people have fully (or at all) digested what it means for Iran to be mass producing precision guided intermediate range ballistic missiles. The drones into Israel were a stunt; the missiles that rained down on Nevatim were the main show. It’s the most highly secure airspace on earth…and Iran lit it the fuck up.
🔻 CtHorseFarmer: Let alone a proven indefensible hypersonic missile capability. Not mentioning a vast deep underground military complex that would require systems the west does not have unless they go nuclear. BTW, Iran can stop 40% of the oil that leaves the Persian gulf. Think $500 per barrel oil and how that would affect the world economy.
🔻 hollowman777: MOAB bombs 24/7 for 3 months. After that send in the salvation army.
🔻 WS: The Pentagon has about a dozen MOAB bombs left in stock, and that represents multiple years of production.

They must be dropped by old, slow, highly vulnerable C-130 prop-driven cargo planes. Choose the missions wisely.
🔻 SP Solutions: First Wild Weasel SEAD. Then bomb all power plant transformers and transformer factories. All revolutionary guard bases. Offer large $$$ to first and second echelon Iranian military assets to change sides to a new secular government headed by the Shah. Activate cells in Iran for popular revolution. Have the pro revolution generals support the people
🔻 WS: Can I also interest you in these magic beans? |fistful|
🔻 SP Solutions: Every man has his price.
[in your part of the world…]
🔻 Toby Grainger: Then why not simply “buy” Yemen, instead of spending billions bombing it? 🤡
🔻 WS: It’s not for sale.
🔻 Xosh: At min 500k boots is needed for ground invasion, I doubt the US has half that number combat ready after Iraq and Afghanistan.
🔻 Andrew Tuohy: 🔹For those who think Iran can move oil past the red line without American permission, describe for me a credible scenario. |Yanqui wetdream|
🔻 WS: China imports over 90% of Iranian oil exports. Chinese warships will escort those shipments as necessary.

The “rules-based international order” is over. And, as for the imagined omnipotence of the US Navy, it can’t even open the Bab el-Mandeb.
🔻 Wasteinc: It seems a Sisyphian task to try to talk sense to people who deny themselves having any
🔻 WS: One day soon this Sisyphus will just shrug and walk away from it all — never once looking back.
🔻 Peter FvD: Given the necessary willpower is there the US has the capacity for both. Neither is necessary, though. Just step up support to the Iranian Opposition.
🔻 WS: reposts his older:
“The NATO vassals are effectively demilitarized at this point.

The US could not sustain high-intensity warfare against Russia or China for more than 6-8 weeks, at most. They would run out of PGMs in less than a month.”
📜 The Arsenal of Democracy Isn’t
🔻 HomoCuriosus: The Bundeswehr’s top command has officially admitted that the German Army possesses sufficient ammunition to sustain combat operations for merely one to two days. |source|
🔻 ®i_X™🔸: Only one target – The Supreme Leader.
Front the comfort of your air offence towards that one ‘ACER’, and no others nor any.
Target key infrastructure like the Nat and Ford facilities with bunker-busting munitions-GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator.
Mission-RAMROD 1.
Fly south.
🔻 WS: If the US attempts missile strikes in the heart of Iran, they will lose dozens of their strike platforms to AD missile interceptors over the course of the first attack. It will come as a great shock to many … but certainly not to me.
[but we shall have a Show for the Ages – even grander than the original Armada, and on air too…]
🔻 ®i_X™🔸: -Entry Points-
Southern Axis: Amphibious landings along the Persian Gulf coast near Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, supported by Marines and naval gunfire, to secure ports and oil facilities.
Western Axis: Cross-border offensive from Iraq, targeting Khuzestan province.
MAJOR TRAP. NO!
🔻 WS: Amphibious landings on the Iranian coasts would be savaged. They would end up being catastrophic debacles. They wouldn’t even attempt it because it is such a doomed mission.
[recall earlier video I shared of the sparsely settled coasts. It would be essentially a freefire killzone to hunt every freakin deranged nazi that dared wade or fly ashore]
🔻 GeoPolticsUSA: Very successful misssle campaigns would be required.
🔻 WS: With what missiles?

US missile stockpiles have been severely attrited, and production is embarrassingly minimal.
[God Bless mother Russia, the mountains and deserts of Yemen, and the urban hellhole of Gaza!]
🔻 Steve Precourt: Ballistically hammer the ports, airports, pipelines and power generation.
🔻 WS: What missiles are you talking about?

And what happens when the Iranians strike back with greater force than the US can send in the first place?

I don’t believe you’ve given this matter much attention and serious thought.
🔻 Franklin Richards: Israel already hit them recently and no retaliation. Just do it again but now destroy the nuke plants and weapons storage
🔻 WS: The Israelis operate on the principle that “If you can’t win a real war, win an imaginary one.” And it was their #ImaginaryWar narrative that was sold to western audiences, and you bought it unawares. The IAF strikes on Iran were a nothingburger served as filet mignon.
🔻 A Fair Word: The goal would be to wound Iran in a significant way, so more of a strategic air campaign that will have devastating effect on civilians (which is the US signature). Nuclear facilities, oil refineries, energy plants, ports, a lot of damage could be done unfortunately.
🔻 WS: C’è un abisso tra dire e fare.
🔻 Framed Mollusk: Ground? No way. Nuclear strikes? 100% certain
🔻 WS: I find it amazing that so many people seriously believe the US will launch nuclear strikes against Iran.

It would be the single greatest strategic blunder in American history. The US would become a pariah state, and the downstream consequences would destroy western civilization.
[Hello! There’s DeNile even in Utah… Gaza, and project Zion, already achieved that mission]
🔻 bordernick: Isn’t the death of western civilisation exactly what God’s chosen people want?
🔻 Iceberg Lady🇵🇸🌏 🌈🖤💛❤️NO WAR💧: USA is already a pariah state & has been for over a century. It’s only now that the world has woken up to the evil.
🔻 OLUMIDE: Decapitation strikes a la Lebanese Hezbollah – take out a bunch of leaders including the Ayatollah – then use “CIA” assets in leadership to destabilise – the aim isnt a frontal war but a destabilisation war.
🔻 WS: Silly talk.
🔻 WowInu: Hypothetical only: mass bombardment of all power plants, bridges, water treatment and gas infrastructure.

Followed up by an air/sea blockade and additional airstrikes on first responders.
[It ain’t hypothetical. This is the SOP of the bastards. And note how mass terrorism is the reflexive approach of even lemmings aping their “betters”. A diseased paradigm, top to bottom]
🔻 WS: If only Iran were the size of Israel or Gaza, and was not able to shoot back.
🔻 Anthony Brasi: Why bother with a ground invasion? Just bomb them from the face of the earth. Iran will be decimated. 😘
🔻 WS: Because they won’t shoot back, right? 🤦‍♂️

🔻 WS: The US military has not achieved a single strategic victory since 1945. The Pentagon is a black hole of incomprehensible waste and corruption. The flag officer ranks are overwhelmingly dominated by incompetent fools.

This is what you’re a fan of? 🤦‍♂️

🔻 WS: You forget that the Iranians can strike back HARD, and keep striking back long after the US has run out their meager means to defend against it.

Deceived people believe things about the US military that are not true, and have never been demonstrated against a peer adversary.
🔻 kenny mugambo: What exactly do you mean by “the Iranians can strike back hard”? How exactly would they strike back?
🔻 WS: Iran has a HUGE inventory of first-rate strike missiles of various kinds: drone swarms, supersonic cruise missiles, IRBM, and IR hypersonic missiles. They also have the best IADS array in the entire region: better than the US, Israel, and their friends combined.

🔻 WS: Silly talk.
🔻 José Eduvigis Díaz: Your rules were credble operations. I didn’t say this could be done overnight. Getting the tanks and troops into Turkey without them selling the US out would be very expensive, but it’s achievable. Landing like in Normandy is what they would think the US would do.
🔻 WS: reposts:
“Logistics, logistics, logistics. Pull up Google Earth, display the terrain, play with the measurement tool. Geography is the god of war.”
🔻 José Eduvigis Díaz: It seems that you actually don’t have a rebuke, because this reply is certainly not one, the US military can deploy a striking force capable of taking out a regular army in matter of days, the only slow step in my plan are the tanks, and you didn’t set up a time frame.
🔻 WS: It is impossible to make you understand how fantastical your propositions are because you fail to account for:

1. inherent US logistical constraints and lack of war-making materièl
2. the fact that Iranians can and will shoot back, early and often — they will attack staging areas and supply lines; they will attack and sink ships; they will routinely shootdown top-line US aircraft.

🔻 Alex Sachs: To compare an invasion into Iran with D-Day shows they understand nothing.
– June 44 Germany was defeated by the SU.
– They had to cross 20 miles from UK, an industrialized armed ally.
– They prepared it for years.
It’s really ridiculous.
🔻 Alexander Babayan: Air bomb Tehran to the ground.

Because they can. And they can continue shooting long after US magazine depth is exhausted.

🔻 SkipJackson: The West likes to ignore the realities of Iran and needs to pull its head out its butt.

Iran is a nation of 80 million. Its geography ranges from brutal deserts to snow-laden mountains, spanning an area the size of Alaska. Its beautiful topography, like both Northern and Southern California, has lush valleys and arid plains, and shares the same problems of drought and water strain. Iran influences freshwater flows to Iraq, but grapples with crippling shortages, worsened by declining rainfall. Nuclear power could drive its desalination plants to ease the crisis, though most still burn fossil fuels. An oil exporter, Iran has refineries but leans on imported gasoline and diesel due to outdated capacity.

Iran isn’t some small country that can’t fend for itself or feed its own people—Iran’s population outstrips Great Britain, France, Germany, and all European nations except Russia. It’s the third most populous nation in the Middle East. Conquering or colonizing Iran? That’d be a worse mistake than Afghanistan or Vietnam.

In the context of these massive US gold imports, could Bessent recently saying “Today, we are not revaluing the gold” be this cycle’s analog of Bernanke saying “Subprime is contained” in 2007 after home prices were already falling & subprime mortgage delinquencies already rising?
🔻 WS: It sure seems to me that revaluing US sovereign gold isn’t going to mean much UNLESS they do it REAL BIG. $5000/toz gives you a mere $1.3T. Relative pocket change. $10k = $2.6T. $25k = $6.5T. I suppose $6.5T gives you a few years of largesse, but it would go fast.
🔻 WS: And, of course, the consequent depreciation of the dollar would be monumental. Unprecedented. A gallon of milk would be selling for $25 at the grocery store.
🔻 WS: If I were certain they were planning to revalue gold to $25k/toz, say in 6 months or a year from now. Well, I’d start thinking hard about whether selling ounces NOW, with the dollar’s purchasing power where it is at present, would be a better option than waiting for $25k gold.
🔻 Mike Co: What would you buy with the soon-to-be-devalued dollars instead?
🔻 WS: Hard assets of some kind: home and land improvements, maybe a new truck, ammo, cases of liquor to trade at the swap meet. Things like that, I guess.

My point is that a major gold revaluation would eventually lead to unprecedented dollar depreciation, and increased goods prices.
🔻 WS: Of course, I may simply not be seeing the big picture here. And if so, I would really like you to point out the flaw in my thinking so I can adjust accordingly.
🔻 Noirspectre: You made good points, I see no flaw in this reasoning.

In my opinion gold is the shiny distraction.
Trying to hide from the cobalt in bunkers.
🔻 Jeffrey Jensen: We shut the gold window and never revalued or spoke of it again because nations with legit warships have legit claims on that gold. It’s going to be fun to watch while starving.
🔻 Favunc420: I don’t think the appreciation of gold : devaluation of dollar occurs in 1:1 fashion.

There is also speculative frenzy / flight to safety behavior that would likely drive gold much higher than corresponding dollar devaluation.

Unless gold is the only market immune to this.
🔻 WS: Acknowledged. It would take time for the public to even realize what was happening.

Incidentally, Utah is about to make transacting in precious metals even easier than they already made it a few years ago — bypassing the dollar altogether.
🔻 Sunny Po: How do you know how much quantity they have?
🔻 WS: I don’t. No one does. But they “officially” have 8133 tonnes (which I seriously doubt).
🔻 blindpig/1966: You don’t seem to understand how or what gets revalued Will. It’s the certificates that get revalued at the fed. They don’t sell the gold. There’s no limit to available liquidity, as long as demand continues and the price is allowed to rise organically the certificates get revalued as the gold price rises. Add to that if they devalue the dollar to .50 it doubles liquidity. That’s the plan as well as repricing commodities to accommodate the new currency values around the world. Those countries without gold, will die and be annexed by countries that can bail them out with excess gold. As in The Fed and JPM, which will be part of the Treasury. Canada gets bailed out and in return becomes the 51 state. There’s no way around that imo. He US won’t allow the fascists in the EU to bail Canada out. They would rather bomb the EU than to allow Canada to become a den of Eurofascists any longer.
🔻 WS: I understand that perfectly well. They would keep the gold stock and just collateralize it to sell more debt. But my point remains the same.
🔻 WS: I mean, even if they can sell $25T in bonds using the gold as collateral, that’s just a drop in the bucket against the off-balance-sheet liabilities — not to mention the trillions that would be thrown around to various new “essential expenditures”.
🔻 blindpig/1966: Not use the gold as collateral. That’s not what they’re proposing either.
🔻 WS: That is exactly what they would be doing, in essence. Why are you trying to nit pick every jot and tittle of what I’m saying? It is annoying.
🔻 blindpig/1966: Not stock. They aren’t stock certs.
🔻 WS: 🤦‍♂️ Stock as in the physical bars. The “stock” of physical gold in the possession of the Treasury.
🔻 blindpig/1966: I’m sorry. Didn’t intend on irritating. Just offering another opinion. My version of autism sometimes over emphasizes my points. Apologies Sir.
🔻 Will Schryver: No problem. I have a terrible headache this afternoon, and I’m very easily annoyed.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Meanwhile, gold continues to make new all-time highs and all the dips get bought …
🔻 blindpig/1966: Right. Exactly. They need to sell gold sovereign bonds with a yield to the General population. That’ll raise trillions more to purchase more gold and cause the price to skyrocket even further. Now you have 100k gold and all the liquidity you need to enact real change.
You don’t sell the gold. You revalue the certificates every time gold increases in value.
🔻 WS: I understand the concept. I’m just dubious that it would really constitute an “escape” from a problem that came about from decades of unbridled credit expansion.

I continue to be persuaded that Von Mises’ prophecy will be fulfilled: |link|
🔻 blindpig/1966: Maybe he was wrong and a controlled conversion can take place.
[imagine if this single-minded bloodhound was put in charge of the FBI and told to track down ALL the real nazis on CONUS…. no more possibilities for a fifth reich.. sometimes autism spectrum has its positive side]
🔻 blindpig/1966: Not if they reprice commodities when the reprice gold. It has to scale down as gold scales up. You can’t change the currency without considering prices and commerce afterwards. IT has to be an all encompassing process.
🔻 WS: Commodities will reprice themselves naturally. That’s basically the point I was trying to make when I said I would have to think hard about whether or not $3100 gold has as much purchasing power TODAY as $25k gold would have down the road AFTER those commodities have repriced.
[ok i am lost in both the order of this thread, and some of the content. Col! Up your lane]
🔻 boyd roff: Yes , but holding the gold now and at 26k you at least have the purchasing power to by the milk , what does anyone not holding do , feels they get hurt allot more
⭕🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: There has been much discussion about the relocation of B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia in anticipation of a potential conflict with Iran. Bombing missions against the Houthis are merely part of broader combat drills, as the Houthis lack sophisticated air defense (AD) systems. The real focus of these drills lies in targeting underground bunkers and facilities, providing valuable training for both bomber crews and mission planners.

It is worth noting that while the Houthis do not possess Iranian-level air defenses, there remains a clear and present danger: they may still be able to lock onto and engage a B-2. This is why an entire fleet of SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) and EW (Electronic Warfare) aircraft has been deployed, operating either from carriers or numerous U.S. bases around Yemen. These operations appear to serve as intimidation tactics aimed at weaker adversaries. However, Iran is not Yemen, and no matter how much Washington hawks, warmongers, and an army of Twitter “experts” might wish otherwise, B-2s will not fly directly over Iranian nuclear sites to drop their most powerful bombs.

What exactly is the B-2? It is an exceptionally sophisticated aircraft, highly effective for stealth missions. However, one critical aspect is often overlooked: the B-2 excels primarily against small, unsophisticated, and impoverished nations equipped with outdated air defense systems. The B-2 is a remarkable product, bolstered by some of the best marketing imaginable. For those who understand Western marketing, it is clear that 80% of the product’s success lies in its marketing, while the remaining 20% encompasses everything else.

Extremely complex and demanding in terms of maintenance, the U.S. can likely maintain only 30-40% of its B-2 fleet as operable and flight-worthy at any given time, making it plausible that all available aircraft have been relocated to Diego Garcia.

As a reminder, Diego Garcia can be considered an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” (similar to Malta during WWII, for example) and is widely believed to be out of reach of Iranian ballistic missiles. However, this is not entirely accurate. Iran possesses the means to target it. One method involves container-launched missiles placed on cargo ships. Additionally, for the sake of hypothetical consideration, a submarine could approach the island, surface, and launch Shaheeds (suicide drones). From a close distance of 50-60 km, such drones could reach the island within minutes. Therefore, the U.S. must always maintain airborne anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft around the island, along with likely deploying one or two nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) for defense.

In any case, the crews can enjoy the tropical sandy beaches when they’re not busy planning and rehearsing attacks on Yemen and Iran.

In short, the B-2 is a sophisticated tool for intimidating weaker adversaries but is largely ineffective against modern Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS).
🔻 WS: 🔥 Great analysis, Mike.

I would elaborate on one point:

As I understand current US/Israeli stand-off weaponry capabilities, in order to launch high-precision strikes against high-value Iranian targets, US/Israeli aircraft MUST necessarily penetrate very deeply into Iran.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: And yes, to inflict damage on key Iranian installations, they would have to approach very closely with the heaviest ordnance possible. While this is theoretically possible, the cost of such an action would be too high to bear
🔻 WS: Yep.

And, like you wrote, they would absolutely send all the SEAD/DEAD aircraft in their inventory ahead of the primary strike package. It’s going to be a lot of the SEAD/DEAD crews that don’t return to their families.

🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: Thank you Will!
🔻 Omar: Then why @RealScottRitter has gone bonkers over this 🤔 he should know some of this
🔻 WS: I don’t understand why anyone assumes Ritter would be well-versed on the questions under debate. He has never manifest notable understanding of these subjects. His expertise, such as it is, lies in different areas.

His understanding of big picture military matters is limited.
🔻 Elydia35: Over time, I started to listen to him less and less. I used to watch his segments on Judging Freedom, I don’t anymore. I found the range of his knowledge to be very limited & superficial
🔻 Titoqueteimporta⭐⭐⭐: You’ve written several times about US military capabilities. This case is just another example of what you’ve said. Don’t you think the US really just wants to intimidate Iran? Sure, it’s costly, but no more than the military disaster.Could we be wrong?🤔
🔻 WS: Wait and see.
[I’ve a feelin’ … like the Spanish Armada of 1588.. this will be one to remember for the ages, and by the aggressor. And equivalent to losing a carrier.. what will the aching losers do THEN?]
🔻 Gh0str1dr🛩: As of 2023, USAF declared a MC of 56% for the B-2A fleet. So not all the operational aircraft to Diego Garcia. But a big part indeed.
🔻 WS: “Mission Capable” means little more than: the aircraft can taxi, take-off, circle the base, land, and taxi back to its climate-controlled hangar.

“Full-Mission Capable” is the only pertinent designation. It means “combat-capable”. And that percentage is FAR lower.
🔻 WS: Also, from what I was able to confidently ascertain, SEVEN B-2s originally took-off from Whiteman AFB, but two were compelled to abort their mission enroute.

Very indicative, if this is the case.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: Correct.
🔻 Thingsneedtochange: My Navy helo squadron had two “hanger queens” that were stripped & used for parts to keep others running. Once a year, parts were stripped off the other helos for the hanger queens. They would then fly once around the base and report as mission capable.

I feared for the pilots.
🔻 DomoljubniNasveti: On the one hand, it is a *long* flight, but on the other, they’re fucking *strategic* bombers.
This really sounds quite bad.
🔻 Koen: My mind goes back to 2020, to that civilian airliner taking off from Tehran airport, then inexplicably shot down by Iranian air defense.

Sure, within a context of great tension and anticipation, but still…

A very odd mistake for an non-hacked air defense system to make
🔻 Koen: And then to thousands of bewoners exploding all at the same time.

What I’m saying is, it is risky to assume that the US and Israel should they decide to strike Iran don’t have some unexpected deeply infiltrated tools to help disable significant parts of Iranian defenses
🔻 WS: For my own part, and notwithstanding I acknowledge the Jews are a cunning people, they have no sustainable power and no strategic depth.

Attacking Iran would become the “BIG WAR” they have never had the capability to win, not even with the great gentile empire behind them.

⭕❗️✈️ Washington warns of Yemeni drones’ qualitative development

Amid escalating tensions in the Red Sea region, a recent US report published by the New York Times reports on the impressive development of Yemeni drone capabilities that pose a serious challenge to American air superiority.

💬 This means that Sanaa is now capable of striking targets deep inside Saudi Arabia or even Israel, as happened in July 2024 when a Yemeni drone hit a target in Tel Aviv, shocking military analysts.

💬 Other foreign sources, such as a May 2022 report on Iran Primer , confirm that Ansarullah’s drone arsenal is one of the most diverse and advanced. However, many overlook that this development was not simply the result of off-the-shelf technology transfer. Rather, it was a complex process involving reverse engineering and local production.

Yemeni experts who have gained access to downed drones such as the MQ-9 have been able to develop and build improved models based on them to meet their combat needs.

It is this local innovation that allows Yemeni drones to adapt to combat conditions, unlike American drones, which rely on complex and expensive supply chains.

In a similar context, an NBC News report from February 2024 noted:
The Houthis have used their drones to cripple shipping in the Red Sea, prompting the United States and Britain to launch airstrikes that have failed to achieve the desired results.

🧡 Researcher Tom Karako of the Center for Strategic and International Studies confirmed:
The Houthis are using an innovative approach, combining drones and missiles, making them difficult for Western air defense systems to counter and intercept.

⭕ The day Israel seeks to eliminate a high-profile target in Beirut, a limited rocket attack may be launched from Lebanon—possibly toward a nearby Israeli settlement. Such a move could serve as a calculated pretext, enabling Israel to justify its strike under the banner of self-defense while achieving its intended objective with minimal immediate fallout.
⭕ A limited Israeli military campaign against Lebanon cannot be ruled out in the near future. With rising tensions along the northern border and political pressures mounting in Tel Aviv, the prospect of a calculated escalation—short of full-scale war—remains a real and growing possibility.
⭕ On Friday, the US carried out 66 airstrikes across Yemen, including on the capital, (14 on) Sana’a, and multiple other regions. The scale and intensity of the strikes mark a major escalation in Washington’s military campaign against the country.

The US is now bombing Yemen with the same sustained intensity it has used—alongside Israel—in the war on Lebanon. The pattern reflects a broader trend of military assertiveness in the region, with little international accountability and growing humanitarian concerns.

But it was struck using a Yanqui HIMARS round, likely programmed with corn-fed Yanqui lads on site in Sumi, and Yanquis to this day finance and arm the nazi Hordes attacking Russia proper, permitting this senseless and lost war to grind on for Zion.
