They're just collating AP wire reports, no opinion pieces or any such, so a pretty decent way to follow everything that's getting released in a fairly reliable manner. If you want to see the explosions, I'm sure they're getting posted in Xitter unless Iran cut out the internet again.

The Japs had a much smaller manufacturing base than the US. Relatively speaking, China is not in the same position. Also the Japs weren't exactly convinced they could win, they just thought it was preferable to try than surrender to economic sanctions.

And as we're about to get yet another demonstration of, modern wars aren't fought with attrition and industrial might of years of production, they're fought in a couple of weeks of high intensity shootouts between what you've already got built and stockpiled. Would you like to guess who's has the largest airforce, navy, naval aviation arm, submarine force, and so on at the moment? That's before we even start talking about quality where we're getting some excellent talking points from Iran and Venezuela getting dunked on, much less the slavic bumfight in Ukraine where NATO's outdated scraps are proving to be worth their weight in gold.

Iran cut the internet, again. The only thing getting out is probably by satellite.
If I had to guess, the US Navy is concentrating on Iran's Navy and anti-ship missiles and missiles capable of hitting Israel.
None of the countries in the area allow the US Military to use the bases or over flight. I have no idea why this shit started with the USS Ford CSG on the wrong side of the Suez Canal. I would expect the Egyptians to close the canal to US warships, so that means half of the US Navy's ships are only good for defensive operations.

There will probably not be enough mass in the first waves to do jack shit for damage. Maybe Israel fucked us or Cencom is run by a retard. This is not the way a first strike is supposed to go. Nothing shock and awe about this so far, just piddling around.

I can imagine they're operating through Turkish airspace and that allows them to strike at a different set of targets then everyone in the Arabian. Israel also flew through Iraqi airspace during their war with Iran, and I can't imagine Syria is capable of stopping the US either if they want to use the airspace beyond a strongly worded letter. I can easily believe there was a deal struck with the new Syrian government to allow US operations in exchange for helping to legitimize them, and the Taliban have their own border war with Pakistan at the moment that is probably more important then the US flying overhead and honestly might be to their benefit since I can't imagine the US is going to be happy about non-US strike craft being in the airspace.

Completely irrelevant. That would be the longest most retarded route.

The USS Ford SCG being in the med makes it completely useless to protect/ support the Lincoln CGS against Naval threats from Iran and also whomever else is going to jump it.
Also Yemen is going to join up with Iran. If China or someone else things they are going to throw a sub into the mix to be sneaky, then that leaves the Lincoln CGS exposed.

Carrot and stick like anything else, I wouldn't be surprised to see a MIC purchase from Turkey by the US in the near future but they are a NATO partner

Donald Trump's US mil can also going to be that ego-centric, especially with thirdie nations that don't have a good relationship with the US to worry about ruining, like Iraq and Syria atm.

>Naval threats from Iran
lol and lmao, is that you Van Ripper?

>Yemen is going to join up with Iran
Yemen is incapable of doing anything more then shooting at random shipping with Iranian supplied missiles, and that spigot just got shutoff. I do hope they hit another humanitarian aid shipment headed to Iran for old time's sake before they run out, though.

Iran has some subs and some surface ships and a swamp of little shitty boats that can launch anti-ship missiles. A carrier airwing is going to be spread really thin going on offensive strikes and defensive at the same time. A retard like you does not know jack shit, so STFU.

Yemen is cable of launching drones and missiles at ships and also Arabs and Israel. That means those targets need to be destroyed. Having 1 CSG with maybe 48 F/A-18 is a little thin for the threats in the area and also needing to go offensive.

You cannot see a flag on a sub, retard. There are also USVs to add to the threat list. Chinks would love to damage a carrier.

We are talking about months of air strikes, retard. The small forces in the area, especially the inability to use land bases will mean the US Navy is going to be the offensive force. The US navy has to paly offensive force and defensive at the same time. It will take months of airstrike to attrite Iranian forces for a internal takeover.

>>64910022
What the fuck does that even mean retard? Military aircraft moving around the world means jack shit to the actually shooting part of a war. BFD some Brits and Portuguese, et al let the US Military peacefully land and gas up on the way to the middle east. The Israelis, Saudis, Qatar, et al are all too happy for the US Government to waste billions on defending them, while also telling the US Government the terms of it, as in not allowed offensive action from those bases.

>Iran has some subs and some surface ships and a swamp of little shitty boats that can launch anti-ship missiles

Holy shit, it is Van Ripper risen from the grave. Do you think Iran's subs are going to get past USN ASW patrols, or that their fucking glorified speedboats are going to somehow manage to sneak all the way down to CSGs that they aren't even going to be able to locate?

>Yemen is cable of launching drones and missiles
Houthi, let's be clear since they're not the official government of Yemen, missiles were barely capable of attacking shipping when they got to chose the time and shoot at an unprotected tanker who had it's positional beacon on. They pose zero fucking threat to a CSG operating at full war authority.

>You cannot see a flag on a sub, retard.
Yea, which is why every sub that isn't the USN's, or strong allies, that tries to operate in the area will have a SSN on it's tail at best and a torpedo up it's ass if it even starts to get too close to the CSG.
>>
>>64910030
Subs, small boats, ships, anti-ship missiles, drones, etc can cover 300 miles. KYS for being a useless stupid 60 IQ POS.
Also, retard, the US Navy's ship board refueling capabilities are a joke, so how is the F/A 18 going to get from the ship to target in Iran? The CSG will need to be closer than 300 miles for deep strikes.

>Do you think Iran's subs are going to get past USN ASW patrols
Anything is possible. That is why Iran's Navy is going to be #1 on the target list for the US Navy.
>glorified speedboats
>Houthi
Large enough to launch a harpoon or Exocet or whatever anti-ship missile. That is why the US Navy is going to be both defensive and offensive. Hard for the Navy to do that with 48 F/A 18 and maybe a dozen MH-60. There are only about 5 DDG close to the Lincoln CSG. LCS are useless shit, so the 3 in the area will be basically radar picket ships and also targets. BTW, retard, those DDG are also going to be part of the tomahawk strikes. 90 to 96 VLS each is really thin for offensive and defensive. 5 DDG needing to do anti-air, anti-sub, and land attack.
Like I wrote, this war or special military operation or whatever is going to take lots of time. Months of time for the enemies to get their shit together. It only takes a few hit to fuck something up and make it withdraw, so obviously defensive is going to take priority over offensive.
Seems like 2 or 3 CSGs providing support to each other were/ are needed.
3+ weeks from the USA for the Navy to get a surface ship to the area, and that is if the Suez is usable... and it is a long transit through a very well seen ditch at slow speeds.
> that tries to operate in the area will have a SSN on it's tail
LMFAO how many US Navy SSN in the area. Navy will not say. I doubt there are 2 and one will be an SSGN.

Are you so dumb and brown that you don't know that CSGs have multiple SSNs assigned as ASW escorts? I'm done arguing with you when you have zero fucking understanding of anything, as shown by you thinking the Iranian navy is going to fucking steam down the Straight, unnoticed by all the ISRT assets in the air and space staring at Iran, and somehow manage to sneak up on a CSG that they have zero fucking ability to even start the kill chain against because they have to find it in open water.

China, for all their fire and brimstone talk, have no power outside of their own region. If they do throw a sub or two out there, it'll only be for observation and intel gathering at a distance. They're not going to touch off a fucking war over Iran of all places.
Not to mention the recent high level military purges Xi was doing, an actual hot military conflict is the last thing the CCP wants until they recover from the purges in top leadership.
>>
>>64909841
we're not in any major conflict, we've been in a low steady conflict that doesn't require WWII levels of production. And of course globalization pushed a lot of industry out.
If you're comparing everything to china, you have to realize china has been in the dumpster until only 20 something years ago. Most of the country might as well be living like they were pre-sino jap war conditions, except for maybe Shanghai and Hong Kong.
They really ramped up industry the last two decades. So of course they pumping shit out at seemingly wartime numbers, they're catching up from centuries of being behind while they got a lot of cash in their pocket.
