>iranian backed militia uses fpv drone to take out blackhawk at victoria base in baghdadi fucking hate drones
>>65007205
NOOOO NOT MY HECKIN BLACKHAWKINOS
Based.
The SMO ... If only the President knew
what air defence doing?
Well this thread is going to fet deleted fast. SLAVA IRAN.
>>65007252Man, /pol/ would defend any and all failing states, dictatorships and proxies just to own le westerners and le j00z...
T-minus 10 until it's a US soldier on the receiving end of these, most likely on Kharg island if the SMO continues.
>>65007259They'll defend any and all failing states, dictatorships and proxies whether regardless.
why is that entire base empty?
Blackhawks are junk we didn't need anyway
>>65007268>carriers retreating >bases abandoned>fake truce and peace announcedThis is a good will gesture to our Middle Eastern Partners. You must understand.
ass will be in the ass and everything will be known
>>65007264>t. pissraeli zigger that was defending bombing an elementary girls' school two or three weeks ago>if I am not with /pol/ im a j00See? You ruslims and other foreskinless assortments are the absolute dregs of humanity. It's your side that was celebrating the cruise missile into the ukies' children cancer hospital. But deflection and history revisionism is your mode of action.
>>65007246Got blown up in the beginning, he had a good run.
>>65007246they're quadcopters, i don't think normal military air defense picks them up. also the bases look abandoned or lightly staffed.
>>65007268US forces use this one trick called 'find cover' so they do not get droned.This is because they found out that replacing an 18 year old private takes 18 years, but building a new helo or radar takes a year or so.
>>65007280Bulgarian, actually.Now what, shitskin?
SLAVA IRAN has a nice ring to it ngl.
>>65007282really? that's wild they'd abandon one of the biggest bases they build overseas.
>>65007279Both sides of this conflict lack foreskins
>>65007205I genuinely appreciate that they started with SEAD/DEAD, and then spent time looking for a worthwhile target instead of blowing up the nearest trashcan like so many do.Good job.
>>65007205Wow, holy shit, it took out a black hawk in mid-ai->It destroyed a parked black hawk that was sitting in an Iraqi base... Congratulations? Are these one of the ones we left behind?
>>65007290Wouldn’t it be Iran Akbar considering the locals?
>>65007205I knew USA would struggle against drones like Russia. Maybe you retards should have accepted the Ukrainian offer? They're the masters of drone warfare.
>>65007273Kekaroo this shabbos goy actually meant it >>65007304
How weak is the Iraqi government that they can't suppress or co-opt militia in their own country?
>>65007314The Iraqi government is very powerful and well-organized from its headquarters in Tehran.
>>65007279>the subhuman can't even readI am not a burger or a jew, you inbred.What does "our evil SMO" mean in this context? Go die for Palestine or whatever, don't give a fuck about your sorry existence and your pedo prophet, if that's what you were hoping. Al-Zutt all day and all night for you and him.
How is there nobody outside anywhere? Are they just hiding in shelters all day?
>>65007331I don't support it, actually. I just don't support the theocracy, either.Of course, the shitskin now accuses me of being MI6 or CIA.I am Bulgarian. From Sofiiska oblast.
>>65007328>a military of neets
>>65007336nta. I'm Norwegian, and I'm just endlessly amused at how retarded ol' Donny is, and that he's getting the US into endless trouble, getting billions in hardware destroyed and undoing decades of American soft power in just a few months.
>>65007205What is Air Defense doing?
>>65007307It's literally a brown base in the middle of fuckknowswhere nobody gives a fuck the US can produce blackcock helis faster than Iran can launch their strikes lmao
>>65007340>if real, your shithole is one of the very first on the chopping block in the energy crisis. >Enjoy shitting at candlelight once the fuel rationing starts.That's what you ziggers kept saying before, I still remember the hamster Russian ad.I guess you are right, we need to get our shit together and all jump Iran in order to reopen the strait, cause the burger chimpout is now affecting us.Or was this not the answer you were hoping for?
>>65007345Victory base is one of the largest US bases in the world, it's located right next to Baghdad International Airport.
>>65007327So Iran is deploying a regional proxy to attack friendly military bases in a country it already controls?No wonder all the other gulf states hate them so much
To bad the Chicken From Kentucky fled and abandoned the base. Otherwise we would have seen Kentucky Fried Chicken.
>>65007346>zigger zigger ziggerYou realize you're the zigger in this war, right? Double-tapping school kids then claiming the enemy did even as footage of Tomahawks falling into it emerges? no amount of dishonest denial is going to change it, nor is getting anyone onboard with this war is going to change the course of this SMO.
>>65007351Nigger watch the video and tell me again that this is a high activity base ? Looks like my garden literally filled with random boxes
>>65007354>friendlyYou missed the part where the US, on the orders of Kushner and Witkoff (appointed by President Glorious Supreme Commander Putin) attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations.
>>65007364sure anon sure, keep dreaming about the final brownoid victory. Are you aware that Iran isn't a parking right now because we pity you ? Literally we just have a button to press to remove any trace of your civilization
>>65007364>which are mostly heaps of rubble right now.May I see the rubble
>>65007354By gulf states you mean a few princelings and kings hiding behind their armies of mercenaries and Western bodyguards? The current ruler of Saudi Arabia had a man chopped up in pieces for writing mean words about his family, and Bahrain needed Saudi mercs to crush a popular uprising a few years ago. Most people would welcome Iranians as liberators from their regimes.
>>65007371>Most people would welcome Iranians as liberators from their regimes.Except for Iranians apparently
>>65007371You're full of shit: Sunnis hate shiites even more than israel.
>>65007371lmao, have you talked to an Iranian anon ?
>>65007369nukes should be like a poll, we should have the right to vote a country to nuke every now and then. I'm pretty sure India would get nuked even if we are at war with Iran rn
>>65007400and then India nukes you back.
>>65007386>a few successful hits here and there >IT'S TOTALLY GONE GUYS THE US LOST ALL THE BASES IN THE MIDDLE EASTah yes so it's in your head thanks May we now see Iran ?
>>65007405They have 3 nuclear capable subs anon, in a first strike scenario they would never be able to retaliate
>>65007327More specifically it was when the marines decided to pull the Haditha massacre. Before that the quods/ irgc trained militias were actually quite useful and helpful especially in Basra after the British literally just randomly abandoned the entire city. After the massacre the irgc could no longer control them so basically that's when the trouble started, and quods wouldn't come back until several years later in Tikrit and Kirkuk. Little known nuance of the super fun happy times in the middle east. >t. GWOT old timer
>>65007409>pariah rogue stateI'm not Iranian thanks, you may need to consult a map and check who is your ally (you don't have any they just milk you for oil kek)
>>65007205Why do they blur out the side of the Blackhawk?
>>65007264>who was [zigger imagination]We don’t “defend” our mistakes, but you already get pissmad when in our case it’s simply a mistake.If we wanted to bomb iran flat and intentionally bomb schools like your favourite shitholes do, we would have already done it.
So how long are the contrarians going to milk crocodile tears out of the accidental bombing of a singular school?Why are all the other schools in iran still intact, gents? I thought we were bloodthirsty animals like the palistinians are and we did it intentionally?
>>65007382 still mad that Igorstein strelkovbaum got blown the fuck out in Tehran again? sorry Chaim. I’m sure cousin Levi’s next group of little green goys will succeed.>>65007382Yes, they hate the Iranians so much that they are falling over themselves to not join this gay coalition of the willing Trump has tried to form.
>>65007386This has no impact on Iran which uses chink satellite imaging. Its for narrative control on western social media. The iranians also have spies on the ground which is how they found that 2nd hidden american command post in UAE and droned it.
>>65007341You guys dont even own guns
>>65007358Call 112.
lmao this drone flew right over where I used to work in BDSC. Crazy way to see my old deployment home.
I can't believe they had 0 plans in place for this, they've had 4 years to come up with ideas and nope, the russification of america is complete.
>>65007205>victoria base in baghdadThat's an Iraki base but ok.
>>65007293its america, we waste lots of money.
>>65007648There are people that had planshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=WIIQuTU3RmEBut boomer MIC didn't listen...It's totally The Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) dejavu>retards fighting, who cares? Real European war between real military powers would be completely different! Cavalry! Charge!Or if you want to further into history The Hussite Wars as a warning and Battle of Pavia as a grand finale.
>>65007280>into a schoolProofs?
>>65007405>>65007411>>65007409Shitjeets are worse than jews,Id take my country joining their stupid wars and higher gas prices if they bribed our politicians into letting be kill jeets inside my country
>>65007662Allen Control Systems and their direct competitor, General Robotics, have been trying to sell their autonomous turrets for nearly 6 years, but no Western military has bothered returning their calls.
>>65007246It’s an Iraqi base it was probably sold
>>65007506We're also not you, but that's neither here nor there.
>>65007205You sound hangry OPTry an SBU slop burger, they're made with the finest ingredients and are extra spicy.
They're so lucky the pilots sucked. Probably won't be next time
>>65007757pretty sure we have autoguns outside nuclear plants. the ROE for nuclear security is 'kill everything'.
>>65007419>Why do they blur out the side of the Blackhawk?It's probably an Iraqi roundel but fuck me was it hard to find a pic of an Iraqi blackhawk with a roundel.Is there some rule of warfare that says roundels are optional on helos or should be as low-contrast as possible to confuse observers?
>>65007314That's like asking why didn't prohibition work.
>>65007205>FINALLY get a secondary angle on an attack from the browns>it turns away literally a second after the blastYou have got to be fucking kidding me. Even with a second drone, we STILL don't get an aftermath. I fucking hate you mud people so much it's unreal.>hits the container walls>clips the bladeGod you "people" piss me off.
Puccia could have caused huge headache to israelis and their mutt pet dogs if they had provided Lebanese and Iraqi Hezbollah some 40 km range fiber FPV drones.
>>65008335True. Putin is a coward and a crook. Americans and Israelis provide weapons to Ukraine. Thusands of Russian get killed with these weapons. But Putin can't reciprocate. Such a weak faggot he is.
>>65007285>BulgarianI hate that I have to envy even you guys nowt. Hungarian
>>65008249That may finally get Orange Man to give Ukraine more toys
>>65007386retard
>>65008377Puccia is already a wounded, bleeding animal. They have very little to lose.

>>65008222looks like it hit the railing by the stairs
>>65007205>USA is starting to feel russified to the point they are losing million dollars equipement to chinese hobby dronesDon't think I've seen this happen with Israel, maybe the jews were right and those corn syrup goyims are only good as meat golems.
>>65008510>Private, is that medivac blackhark one of ours or one of theirs?>Aah, I dunno sir.There's no roundel, no tail number, nothing that would show allegiance in any way.There's something on the tail but it's unreadable beyond 50m.
>headline ripped from Roya news with spelling error still intactTop kek
We get to kill shitites in iraq again? based. Total Sunni supremacy!
>US Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers struck an Iranian army ammunition depot, using GBU-72 bunker-buster bombs to penetrate and destroy the site. I love how the secondaries blow their bunkers like a sub-terrarium mushroom sprouting children.
>>65007222Send a letter to pope, maybe he bans them as "diabolical weapons".
>>65007205>taking out a evac chopper>blurring out the red cross on the sideYou don't hate browns enough
>>65007293It was sold to the Iraqis 15 years ago
Why does nobody in this thread know that no US soldier has been in that base in the last 15 years? Is this a raid?
>>65008716that actually is an unconditional war crime under the convention but apparently that doesn't matter at all anymore
>>65008354> Israelis provide weapons to UkraineMay we see it?For that matter, the US doesn’t provide weapons any longer, we simply permit them to purchase them since the current administration was sworn in.
>>65008716>have a country that has been wiping its ass with geneva conventions since the 30s >not relevant for some reason>sand monkeys bomb a medevac onceyoinky sploinky
>>65008670Triple flash! It’s a double nuke!
>>65008828
>>65008828The funniest thing in the world to me is everybody from all sides of all of these gay little wars screeching about war crimes, only for every to pause, look at each other, shrug and resume doing the same damn things. War crimes as a concept anyone actually gives a shit about died with the 20th century. World War 3 is gonna be lit.>>65008729
>>65008931its kind of ironic that the ones kvetching the hardest are also the same ones that literally salt the earth wherever they (illegally) annex
>>65008924>iranians are just heckin’ good bois!Get your ass back to /pol/
>>65008937who are you quoting?
>>65008931the problem with doing war crimes is that if you lose hard enough you will be in trouble, and out of those two nations only one is likely to ever remotely be in that situation
>>65007205i love how nobody with money is trying to actively mitigate the drone threat. even though a 1000 dollar fiber optic FPV drone can bring down a landing Air Force One no problem. you'd think after operation spiderweb there'd be something but seeing how shaheeds still managed to caught murricans and arabs off guard there won't be anything done until someone important dies.
>>65008249That would require competence on both sides. But remember putin is a friend of isreal.
>>65008716Ive seen both russian and ukrainian droning each other med evac and i was told you could do that per International law.This One doesnt even have people inside and its worse somehow
>>65009142>caught off guard Confirmation bias. We see the drones that get though, we dont see the hundreds upon hundreds that get shot down.
my favorite part of this conflict is the complete board wide switchup of support for Donald Trump. >before Iran war: literal Russian agent that is desperately trying to sabotage Ukrainian aid and help Russia win>after Iran war:liberator of oppressed peoples and wise general who valiantly uses everything learned in Ukraine to valiantly destroy Russia's ally with ease
>>65009634Thats pol delusion shit. Trump is still an idiot for not using ukie knowledge and experience
>>65007296>foreskinStinky winky because our primitive ancestors didn't invent pants yet is peak subhuman savagery.
>>65007358At least some people are morally consistentFuck israel too
>>65007205the level of incompetence is hilarious the Trump tards thougbt they could win a war against 100 million retards with 250 jets
>>65008249>Russians hate Israel!>No you cant point out that when the entire western world put sanctions on Russia, Israel didn't and continued to trade with Russia during the current Ukraine war.
>>65009757>Israel is so Jewish that they can't pass on cheap oil even tho it's their enemies selling it this country is hilarious we should let them rule our government, oh wait
>>65009639The man can't even give a single coherent speech, why are you surprised?I have suffered through every single one of his public appearances. I suffered through Bidens speeches as well, but at least he could stay generally on topic, even if he wandered off in a daze after.It seems like some law was implemented 20 years ago stating that the presidents talks and speeches must be as unbearable as possible so that the fewest people will actually listen to them.Even Bush 2 was easier on the ears and that fuck didn't have a basic grasp of his native language.
>>65009770they have different mental problems, the first one is a mentally demented pedi and the second one is a megalomaniac pedo. If I were American I would vote for the megalo guy cause at least he seems to like his country, so I kinda understand why he got elected. Too bad he's retarded. Godspeed my mut friends it's not much better in frogland
>>65009634You are either talking to bots intended to spread disinfo or are a bot. Everyone in the first category thinks that invading Iran and pumping the oil price then removing sanctions on Russia helps Russia.
>>65009757Israel has much less incentive to be friendly with Russia in 2026. I’m referring to the fact that during the Syrian civil war Russian troops and assets were right next door. This is only part of it but it does hold some explanatory power.
>>65009770>implemented 20 years ago stating that the presidents talks and speeches must be as unbearable as possible so that the fewest people will actually listen to them.You weren't there for Carter's "fireside chat's".
>>65009794>Godspeed my mut friends it's not much better in froglandYou too Anon. Sometimes it feels like the world really did end in 2012 and everything since has been an extended nightmare sequence while I fester in some kind of advanced purgatory.
>>65009813You're right, I wasn't. That bad?I'm not sure that makes me feel any better.
>>65009794I voted for him because he'd be funny. He stopped being truly funny about halfway through last year. The D and R don't stand for Democrats and Republicans, they stand for Degenerates and Retards.

>>65009833Truth. I sincerely hope the other parties take this opportunity to gain some traction.To keep things /k/ related, specifically I'd love to see somebody competent at the helm of the DOD/W for just once in my lifetime.>>65009844Sounds abysmal. Glad I missed them.
>>65008335Attacking allies has the highest ROI for russian MIC.
>>65009757>>65009806Israel is still 30% Russian. Never forgetti
>>65007361whats the US doing in a country Iran supposedly controls?
>>65009852you wont see any viable third parties in America until you ditch FPTP voting and switch to ranked choice preference based systemyour current system was literally designed around the assumption that political parties do not and will never exist, it will remain nonfunctional until this major flaw is corrected
>>65007283>replacing an 18 year old private takes 18 years, but building a new helo or radar takes a year or so.How long does it take to learn the basics from a 4 year war? At least enough not to go in unprepared.
>>65009645Learn how to wash yourself.
>>65010124>Why not go after the barracksWarhead isn't big enough and even if it was, a few casualties doesn't materially shift the balance of power. Whereas radar isn't something with deep reserves and even temporary loss of radar coverage makes it easier to conduct follow-on strikes. Same goes for the helicopter, that's one less platform trying to find and fix their operatives' location, which enhances their freedom of maneuver and makes it easier both to evade retaliation and conduct subsequent attacks.
>>65009960FPTP is a relic from the times you still had US Whig and Tory splinter branches.
>>65007314I really don't understand why the Shia President of Iraq, whose name is literally Mohammed Shia, is failing to fight the Shia militias supported by the Shia mollahs in Iran.
>>65008924so why bother blurring it then
>>65009528to qualify for protected status medical vehicles, facilities and personnel have to be completely unarmed, clearly marked, and not engage in any kind of 'acts harmful to the enemy' which includes gathering intel or transporting non-medical supplies like ammo. obviously the realities of war mean this gets blurred a lot even when people aren't deliberately trying to skirt the law. even a soldier carrying a personal weapon while evacuating wounded means they're not protected by the convention.
>>65009794> If I were American I would vote for the megalo guy cause at least he seems to like his countryThe megalomaniac pedo does insider trading, takes bribes and is brazenly corrupt. That's the direct opposite of liking America.
>>65007960Im canadian

This war in Iran is so fucking stupid Neither side has any means to decisively end the conflict. Just the same stupid "strategy" Germany had in invading the USSR>If we just kick in the front door the whole structure will come down
The US seems to have a history of mentally ill presidents the last 10 years or soBush looks downright debonoir in retrospect
>>65010606US will have presidential elections soon, it will be here faster then you think.
>>65010608>mentally illOld age isn't a illness you retard.
>>65010670>Old age isn't a illness you retard.It kind of is but regardless, Trump was mentally long before he got old.Narcissism is a mental illness anon, so is megalomania (though it's really so closely related to narcissism that it barely counts as a separate thing).He's always been mentally ill and sometime around his TV career became dangerously delusional. A common fate of narcissists who aren't stopped earlier.
>>65010404well none of this is proven to be true so far so idk. I think his son does tho, which isn't much better
>>65010606Unironically the Germans would've won 9 times out of 10, but they got unlucky and made bad decisions due to leadership meddling in military command.
>>65010731Hey look, it’s Franz Halder’s ghost resurrecting his lies about the Eastern Front.
>>65010731Germany didn't have the resources or manpower for a prolonged invasion of Russia. Had nothing to do with luck or decisions.
>>65010731>nazis would have won if they weren't nazisno fucking shit
>>65009757They literally just took out the Caspian Sea military logistics route between Iran and Russia. Ivan ain't getting his Shaheds no more.
>>65010874>They literally just took out the Caspian Sea military logistics route between Iran and Russia. I think that's an underrated development. However you might be misinterpreting it a little.>Ivan ain't getting his Shaheds no more.It's probably actually the other way around.Shaheds have been found with Russian components, mostly the GLONOSS receivers.They're probably coming from Alubaga because the production sites in Iran are ashes and rubble.Keeping Iran in the fight extends the distraction from Ukraine and depletes interceptor missiles that might otherwise go to Ukraine. It's clearly in Russia's interests to keep that war going as long as possible and increase the damage and disruption to the US, Europe and the world in general.
>>65008670Get the nuke schizo to analyze this
>>65010746>for a prolonged invasion of Russia, which was propped up by US lend-lease all the wile fucking up priorities in the middle of the campaignfixed
>>65011136>Get the nuke schizo to analyze thisIt's an underground Iranian weapons bunker, a prototype nuke who's implosive HE was detonated as a secondary causing a fizzle?I'll save it and post it if I ever see their schizo threads again.
we cant even stop the chinks from flying drones over bases in America, much less some random sand shithole
>>65010874There is land route from Tajikistan
>>65011203you're so right fellow american. we should step down from the world stage and focus on problems at home while also balkanizing into weak nation states.
>we>no punctuation
>>65011217>There is land route from TajikistanThat requires Tajikistan to play ball, though I suppose they might.They're not exactly a client of Russia but they do lease bases to Russia.They're somewhat friendly with Iran but have many differences, not least of which is that they crack down hard on Islam (police shaving beards, hajibs are banned or discouraged) and they're 97% Sunni anyway.
>>65008249Russia loves Israel tho? Most Israelis are Russian. Russian is the second most spoken language in Israel.
>>65011760>Russia loves Israel tho? I think the relationship is complicated.I'm sure most Israelis are aware that many of the Russian Israelis are as Jewish as picrel>Most Israelis are Russian. Russian is the second most spoken language in Israel.The Russians in Israel probably fall into several somewhat distinct groups though.More than a few are likely to be escapees who loath Russia, some will be dissidents who loath Putin and the Siloviki...and of course, some are the Siloviki who decided that the things are too hot in Moscow and aren't keen on sticking around for what's happening now or what comes next.
>>65012098Pray tell the last time Americans were manning that base? Within the last month? Year? Decade?
>>65007205lmaoit was a HH-60M medevac helicopter.You can see where they've blurred out the red cross markings to hide the fact they blew up an ambulance, but other features that set the HH-60 apart from the UH-60 are visible
>>65012194>it was a HH-60M medevac helicopter.We worked that out over 100 posts ago in the thread.But you did include a picture of such a blackhawk so thank you for that.
I had the impression that young Iranians wanted to do away with the theocracy. I had a Counter Strike lesson from an Iranian pro who spoke perfect English volubly and spoke it at home with his family. He was a lovely person: very intelligent and friendly. I learned a lot from him. I would hate to think of anyone like him catching a jdam or gbu because they were conscripted or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and Trump decided ... Idk ... What did trump decide? To attack Iran why? I'm not anti-semitic in the slightest and have or have had numerous Jewish friends and lovers (both practicing and not practicing judaism) but it's difficult for me to look at Trump and not call him an utter golem lacking in any form of agency and having no loyalty to the United States or regard for the interests of the United States; he certainly has no concern for American service people or citizens. Zion don indeed. It is not my country's responsibility to pursue Israel's military objectives when Israel insists on alienating every single solitary country in the region, committing human rights violations and breaking agreements year after year, and then when Hamas attacks them they act like they hadn't given Palestinians reason to oppose Israel and respond with a scorched earth campaign of genocide and subjugation. Even Turkey objects to Israel's conduct. I don't support Hamas or terrorism but I sure as shit don't support fighting Israel's war for them when it's tanking the US stock markets not to mention driving up fuel prices.
I am accustomed to regarding my government as incompetent since the last 12 years of reactionary populist movements have rendered over a decade of "populist amateur hour" in Washington DC and state governments but this has largely been confined to hurtful rhetoric and somewhat ineffectual attempts at oppressing trans people such as myself through legislation and undermining individual liberties by sabotaging the judiciary branch by stacking benches with extremely biased judges. the medical establishment is overwhelmingly against the reactionary tide and has firmly set standards that have force and effect, and the say of some grassroots community organizers however shrill has little weight in comparison to multiple boards of physicians with specialties. however, it is entirely another matter when the amateurs take the reins of the US military and destabilize a major regional power. this is reminiscent of how ISIS took over Syria although the circumstances were not similar; nevertheless if there is a power vacuum and numerous heavily armed groups such as the irgc and regional extremist militias and no presumptive secular successor government, the authoritarian theocracy was at least a government of some kind that HAD authority and could command the obedience of these armed groups and bring about a ceasefire for example. I don't know what trump thought he would gain except perhaps to get Iran to stop firing missiles at Israel. I doubt he will take this opportunity to resolve some of the regional conflicts such as the Palestine conflict and I expect a status quo with this entire exercise having been nothing more than a propaganda and pr exercise.
>>65012331>>65012346Are you a useful idiot or an actual shill?Your "Iranian friend" will be better off with the IRGC in ashes.
>>65008729Soldiers were absolutely there as late as 2024. But I do believe the last ones (other than maybe SOF) left before this strike.

>>65010731I personally hold that if the allies had refused to offer lend lease to the USSR the Germans would have broken them, but then lost to the allies anyway due to the incredible resource and manpower investments required to occupy the region

>>65007205Do militants not have access to SAMs in Iraq? Iraqi airspace is a goldmine for US and IDF jets. Even slow moving tankers are circling over Iraq. Should be easy kills if they have decent SAM systems at their disposal.

>>65009960Preference based voting ensures that no political change can happen unless the establishment allows it. See: France
>>65028204I realise France is a bad example of that even though it effectively ends up being the same (it's very easy to block other parties from gaining power even if they have the votes)Australia is probably a better example, it's impossible to start a 3rd party let alone gain any sort of power as one.

>>65007205If we were getting a dozen of these kinds of pieces of footage every day it would mean something, otherwise it's a self own to celerate two low yield commericial drones exploding on an airfield and damaging a radar and a helicopter to some unknown extent.
Why are the shia militias in iraq not really doing shit?
>>65028246>Bongland is THE 2 party FPTP centrist nation and its currently in upheaval of partiesPersonally, I feel that NZ's system is the absolute best.It was a little bit controversial but it killed the duopoly dead and broke them up into minor parties around based various related issues and flexible coalitions became the order of the day.Australia has a "duopoly" that is actually a coalition of conservative nationalists+business sellouts vs a sorta-leftish party that sometimes gets into bed with greens (real left).For one government, the leftish party (labor) had to form a coalition with greens to govern and it was the best and safetest government in decades because the greens wouldn't let labor bend over for corporations and mining oligarchs but anything really important that the greens got in the way of would get some conservatives on board and pass anyway.Basically no politicians could do anything they really wanted to but were generally able to do whatever they really needed to.It was a beautiful four years.
>>65028335>What government Iran has is their businessIt turns out that what government they have has effects well beyond their borders.Shit explodes all over the middle-east because of what government Iran has.If your government is getting other people killed, you can expect the survivors to take an interest in what government you have.
>>65028335>Russian oligarchs are JewishWell, they have some paper that says so.
>>65028992>Shit explodes all over the middle-east because US of A started yet another retarded war.fixed for ya, retard
>>65029011On a historical scale, the US is definitely responsible for the current situation, they just couldn't leave a left-wing democratically elected government alone.Regardless of how it all started though, Iran has created any number of provocations that are sufficient casus beli and even if not, they just slaughtered tens of thousands of their own citizens for wanting a new government so fuck them, that alone would be enough reason to go in with tanks on compassionate grounds alone.t. leftist
>>65028621the only thing Trump loves more than corruption and bombing ME countries is stabbing local militias in the back when it suits him, so yeah they're not too eager to try shit in this environment

>>65009960>nonfunctional>major flawUhh... that's by design my guy. Feature not a bug. Do you think the Democrats and Republicans in charge want to change this and invite competition? Of course not, so it's never going to happen. And there is certainly some benefit from this system towards continuity in the operation of the country and especially foreign policy.The major problem that I see is things do cross into "uniparty" territory, like with support for Israel as the prime example. But on domestic issues, the Overton window has been getting dragged further and further left, with the GOP not really doing anything at all to combat that and defend actual conservatism. That's the real dysfunction, not the fact that there are only two parties. There's a huge unmet demand for more hardline right-wingers so we'll see where that goes. The left is happily running actual Communist freaks like Ilhan Omar under their "big tent," while the GOP eschews more radical positions within its sphere. So the result is that we have a huge swath of the country pretending that a 90s Democrat is ackshually Hitler. And in response to that, a sizable minority wants an actual real Hitler.Having said all of that, I might even agree with rank choice voting as possible solution but I'd need to analyze that in depth to have an informed opinion. Which I won't be doing since changing the way voting works is never ever happening, not in a million years. That's even more difficult than getting Congress to stop insider trading lol.
>>65010731No they wouldn't you dumb nigger. Germany didn't have the oil reserves nor industrial capacity to rival the Allies. Even at peak size, Germany didn't hold a candle to the resources of the US and Commonwealth.
>>65010731The reality is that Germany never had a shot against the USSR because they were running a 35% oil deficit at the start of Barbarossa and reliant on foot armies and horse drawn logistics. That's a big part of why they went in to the east begin with, but it was Hitler who was trying to remedy the oil problem with opposition from his generals. He wanted to focus on advancing south to the Caucuses to capture the USSR's oil while his generals were obsessed with taking Moscow. That's why Panzer armies got shuffled between Army Group South and Center multiple times during Barbarossa, at times in defiance to Hitler's orders. Eventually Hitler did get a bit stubborn about no retreats after he failed to take Stalingrad, but by then the war in the East was very much lost already. So I am not denying that there were compounding leadership mistakes but that mostly came later when the entire war was a lost cause. And at that point him listening to his generals would have just resulted in faster retreats. You also have to keep in mind that if Germans had held out even a few more months they would have gotten nuked. So it's actually laughable to say "the Germans would have won 9 out of 10 times." With hindsight, we can say they would have won 0 out of 10 times because the chances of taking and holding the Caucuses were non-existent. And that was the only apparent path to victory. But all of that would have just resulted in them getting decimated by nukes.
>>65010606From a military and strategic standpoint, it was a shot worth taking, at least for us with Iran not necessarily for Hitler with the USSR, as per: >>65033029The key is to pivot out of it correctly, which we seem to be doing with the Hormuz coalition. The developments there have been under-reported on for two weeks, but there are strong commitments from the UK to send warships and 30+ other countries on board. The US will just pull out and allow our best European friends to take over. Iran is in no position to do anything about it because they cannot afford to draw the rest of NATO into the fight against them.My mind would be blown if Trump announces some kind of ground operation tonight. None of the incentives are there for that and yesterday he said we will be done in 2-3 weeks which doesn't leave time for any kind of ground operation. I think tonight we are getting a victory speech, a wind-down plan, and a mention of how the coalition will be securing shipping for the long-term with lengthy deployments in the strait.
How is Iran not winning?
>>65010608You're not old enough to remember the Clinton/Bush/Obama forever wars, and how much cleaner this is because Trump sees the military as a fighting force and not a DEI jobs program.
>>65010612>>65013579And Vance will win.
