Breaking News / Re: BREAKING: Trump Launches Strikes; Tells Iranians to 'Seize Control of Your Desti
« Last post by FlippyDoo on March 06, 2026, 09:48:10 AM »
I've seem some of the DemonRat overlords claim that we have no cause to attack Iran because they haven’t attacked US soil. They attacked US soil on November 4, 1979 when they took over our embassy, and as far as I’m concern, they declared war on the USA that has never ended. We do indeed have a reason to attack Iran. My gripe is that it’s an attack that should have happened about 47 years ago.

The Sinking of the Dena Was Textbook

What it represents are the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) out of the Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf. Each of those dots is a tanker delivering the hydrocarbons that enable modern civilization to exist and keep three of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the stable.

The one center-screen? That is the SLOC our warships and their logistics chain use to move from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean and on to our fleet.

See the city of Colombo? That is the main commercial hub on the island nation of Sri Lanka. The very center of the SLOC that flows south of Sri Lanka lies about 40 nautical miles south of the island.
...
The United States and Israel are presently in a naval and air conflict with Iran. Over the last 96 hours, we have sunk almost all the Iranian Navy. In spite of this, an Iranian frigate armed with anti-ship cruise missiles left a neutral port and headed west toward the American fleet conducting combat operations. She was sailing athwart the major Indian Ocean SLOC our fleet was using.

A wise Commanding Officer, faced with such overwhelming overmatch, would have done what COs have done for thousands of years in such situations: he would not have put to sea.

He knew thousands of years of war at sea. He knew what was going on, but he persisted.

No naval leader in the last three thousand years would have looked at this scenario and said, “No, leave that warship alone.”

Anyone familiar with the WW2 Pacific War would be utterly unsurprised by this map of modern commerce ship routes. Putting the Dena's situation more simply, ISIS Dena was sailing through the most heavily travelled tanker and commerce route in that part of the world. Further, Dena was equipped with four anti-ship missiles, six (IIRC) torpedo tubes, and a 76 mm gun. She was a substantial threat to commercial vessels in a heavily traveled sea lane, and had the sensors to find prey.

His legs, knee to ankle, are covered with bite mark scars. I'm not sure how well he would do in the actual 2028 Dem Primaries. He might crash and burn the way Kammie did on 2020.

Name for me the last time when Dem Primaries mattered a damn to the Dim'Rats...

Democrat's Illegal Immigrant Guest to State of the Union Exposed as Assault Suspect

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/03/06/democrat-reps-illegal-immigrant-guest-to-state-of-the-union-exposed-as-assault-suspect-n4950310

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) thought he was owning President Donald Trump by bringing an illegal immigrant to the State of the Union last month. The move was deliberate — a calculated piece of political theater designed to put a face on what Democrats call an "immigration tragedy." He wanted to make Marcelo Gomes da Silva into a liberal icon, the next Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now it looks like a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.

AMoulton had made a point of publicizing his invitation to bring Gomes da Silva to President Trump's speech. Sympathetic press coverage poured in. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey invited him to tour her State House office. Moulton went on MSNOW and gushed that Gomes da Silva was "a great American," "a patriot," and "a reminder of what courage looks like."

There's just one problem. According to a report from the Boston Herald, the Milford, Massachusetts, police have two reports from 2021 that reference Gomes da Silva by name, involving sexual assault, and they won't let anyone read them.

Unsurprisingly.

It takes a DUmmie to not know Trump has been assisting Ukraine with munitions, equipment, and intel, and encouraging EuroLanders to do the same. Russia has probably lost a tanker or three to Ukrainian attacks partly due to location information provided by the US during Trump's Administration. Not sure whether Ukraine had sunk any tankers at sea during LIEden. Some of Ukraine's drone attacks indicate having information they probably would not have the resources to obtain by themselves.

Further, do DUmmies even know that Bogey-Musk cut off Russians' use of captured Starlink terminals, probably at Trump's urging? The loss of this information source quickly led to reduced effectiveness of Russian attacks and a corresponding increase in Ukrainian effectiveness.

As for Iranian drones, they are not unimportant, but they aren't going to win anything, except the ire and retaliation of their neighbors. And because drone and other equipment factories have been hit and drones have been hit on the ground, Iran's stock is diminishing faster than they are using them.

Does Ukraine have experience worth knowing? Obviously. Does the US have knowledge worthwhile for Ukraine to know? Very likely, and Russia will have yet another reason to rue losing their ally.

I am busting a gut with laughter.

The US is going to Ukraine to ask for help to fight against Iranian drones, since Ukraine has experience with this form of warfare.

Zelenskyy is a diplomat. I know inside he's saying: Who holds all the cards now, mother ****er?

But on the outside he's going to play his cards to benefit his people. So, in the end Trump will be forced to hand over the muleta to Zelenskyy to perform the estocada on Russia.

How poetic.

There sure are a lot of bouncies out from DU today. Makes me think that they are scared that things will change for the better and that their side might be out of power by the next Presidential election.
