Wars & Rumours of Wars

CNN reports that Iran smashed not less than 16 US military bases in Gulf region. Few trillions of damage as big radar complexes obliterated together of AWACS aircraft


Iran even used a cold war era F-5 jet to attack US base during confusion caused by drones and F-5 dropped big "dumb" bombs and completely obliterated $100s of millions of equipment

Obviously Trump is being very quiet about all of this. Question is to whom are now Arab Gulf states to look up for security, to US or to Iran?
 

Putin's humiliating decision to hold Red Square parade with no military equipment suggests Ukraine may now have the upper hand in war, experts reveal

Russia's decision to strip tanks and heavy military hardware from its Victory Day parade suggests Ukraine may now hold the upper hand in the war, according to experts.

The scaled back May 9 event in Red Square marks a significant departure from the traditional display of military strength, coming more than four years into a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands and drained economic resources.

In recent months, Kyiv has intensified long range strikes on energy and military infrastructure far behind the front lines, with waves of drones regularly launched towards Moscow.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the changes were driven by security concerns, telling reporters: 'Against the backdrop of this terrorist threat, every measure is being taken to minimise the danger.'

However, analysts believe the real reason goes beyond safety fears, reflecting a deeper strain on Russia's military as Ukraine steps up its offensive.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Keir Giles of Chatham House said the move is likely linked to difficulties on the battlefield.

'Putin hasn't described the real reason for a decision like that, but we can guess that this is due to any one of a number of reasons all to do with the pressure that Russia is under trying to prosecute its war against Ukraine.'

He added that heavy losses may be limiting Russia's ability to stage a full scale display.

'That could mean simply the shortage of military units that some commentators have suggested is a result of the massive casualty toll that the meat grinder has taken on Russia's forces. Entailing a lack of ability to mount a parade at all.'

'There are no explanations for what Putin has done that do not one way or another come down to Russia's inability to defeat Ukraine.'

DT was doing such a great job on US economy, stock market was rising, inflation was in check, So much so that DT's arch enemy CNN wrote a full editorial about how good economy was doing.

And then DT made the worst error in judgement of his carrier, and now his narcisoidan ego is digging himself deeper, and deeper. Iranians are fighting back and destroying US strategic assets which DT's media is trying to hide: Which is the worst DT is creating a world wide recession which didn't need to be here at all.

Iranians destroyed so many strategic assets in region that they forced DT to negotiate.

This AWACS costs $500,000,000 and it is out of production. It would take years to replace it.

The world's biggest arms manufacturer with bases in some of the wealthiest countries on the planet shouldn't have too much of a problem rebuilding all that. Iran on the other hand, can't rebuild much of anything and will be under close observation in perpetuity. I think they'll probably give the blockade more time.

Today I have to fill up one of my old cars on Premium 93 @ about $5/gallon and you know what? I don't care really because I don't have the energy to get worked up over whatever the crisis du jour is, legitimate or not. Mainstream media has been screaming that the sky is fallingfor for so long I stopped listening.
 
I'm still using the E89 fuel at Sheetz, its the least expensive gasoline in the area currently at $3.55 a gallon...Here below are a couple pics of the current gas prices at Sheetz near me...

Trump set to lift US sanctions on Iran, free billions and unlock uranium enrichment in unexpected Obama-style peace proposal

Donald Trump is on the verge of securing a sweeping peace deal with Iran that would lift US sanctions, free billions in frozen assets and open a path to uranium enrichment, mirroring the Barack Obama pact he spent years trashing.

A one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding is being negotiated between senior Iranian officials and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The White House believes the memo could finalize a framework to end the war within 48 hours.

If signed, a 30-day window would open for both countries to negotiate a larger agreement covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of all US sanctions on Iran, and new limits on its nuclear program.

The deal calls for Iran to halt all uranium enrichment for 12 to 15 years with automatic extensions if Tehran violates the terms, according to Axios.

Another key provision would have the regime remove its highly enriched uranium stockpile from the country, though the memo does not specify a destination.

Trump has been at pains to avoid anything resembling the 2015 Obama deal he spent years trashing as the 'worst deal ever.' But the emerging framework echoes it in striking ways: sanctions lifted, frozen billions released and Iran capped at the same 3.67 percent enrichment level agreed to by Obama.

Oil prices plunged on news of the proposed deal with Brent crude, the global benchmark, falling by more than 10 percent to below $100 per barrel. Stock futures tied to the Dow rose 1.1 percent, S&P 500 futures surged 0.9 percent, while Nasdaq futures climbed 1.6 percent.

The Daily Mail has contacted the White House for comment.

So the UAE and Saudi Arabia participated in the strikes on Iran and we're just hearing about it now. Curiouser and curiouser.

Apparently the Charles de Gaulle has transited the Red Sea without anyone firing on it which is also very telling. Makes me wonder if someone got paid off and what exactly those sneaky Frenchmen have in mind. Probably very little of consequence although once in a while they surprise me. Certainly they're not shooting up small boat swarms with alacrity or anything, instead they're probably smoking unfiltered cigarettes and eating baguettes discussing cinema and how to further reduce that troublesome 35 hour work week.

Meanwhile, we sent a message. I'm not sure exactly to who about what but this doesn't happen very often at all. Russia likes to rattle its nuclear sabre and has done so many times in the past four years. I guess this is a reminder that we have one too and its very sharp.

A U.S. Navy Ballistic Missile Submarine Arrived in Gibraltar, May, 10, 2026.

NAPLES, Italy - A U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarine arrived in Gibraltar, May, 10, 2026. The port visit demonstrates U.S. capability, flexibility, and continuing commitment to its NATO allies. Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines are undetectable launch platforms for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, providing the U.S. with its most survivable leg of the nuclear triad.

Yeah, and all that gets ignored for the most part. Hamas also interfered with food delivery and created a crisis. I can understand those who hate Israel, some have good reason to but the press being complicit with this makes me want to vomit.

Doing things like this all comes down to hating Donald Trump, it has literally been weaponized starting with that ludicrous Steele report. The Pope hates Trump as evidenced by what he's written well before he became the Holy See and the optics on this are very bad no matter what they say in MSM. The things people attempt to justify in that light are literally insane. Hate him too all you want but give good reason, don't invent shit to do it with. Unfortunately that seems to be the major plank in the current Democratic party. Obstruction at any cost.

I want to hear both sides of story, and then form my own opinion. But it is horrible that both sides of mass media are effectively censoring information. Even originally reported Hamas crimes were hideous, but this second info wave makes them even more appalling. Now, its horrible that many innocent Palestinians had to pay for Hamas crimes.

Me too and having done so is why I say the Israelis aren't exactly flying the stainless banner all the time. I can see why the average Gazan wouldn't be very happy with them. Did you ever see the wall, the defensive system put in place on the Egyptian side? You think they know something? Sure they do, that's why its there.

Hamas is "The Islamic Resistance Movement"- purely an Iranian proxy that doesn't care about the Palestinians or Gaza. Same for Hezbollah - the "Party of God" - you know, the people that slaughtered the Christian sect of Lebanon and the ones who blew up our Embassy and Marine barracks taking who knows how many innocent civilians along for the ride. Some ****ing party. It's about Iran, control, Sharia Law and killing as many Israelis and Americans as they can. I note they don't include the Brits or French in that although historically they've had their fingers in the pudding over there as much as anyone.

They have no concern for the people they live amongst, they are simply cover. These are the types that considered the PLO insufficiently pious and insufficiently violent. If you were an Israeli you'd be awfully sick of cross border raids and the constant missile threat as well, October 7 was literally the straw that broke the camel's back and I can't blame them for that. If some terrorist group from Mexico did that you'd best believe we'd go down there and stomp the crap out of it. They know better. Actually, we have done that for that reason with a mixed degree of success. I'm sure we could improve on that.

The liberal love of Palestine, the blatant hatred of Israel and the rise of antisemitism are frightening to me. It's manufactured and you can speculate by who and how. I'll put Obama and Soros on that list.
People running around here in keffiyeh thinking they are supporting some sort of freedom fighters are terribly misguided, which is why the people of Brooklyn have to listen to the call to prayer five times a day now. For people who want to identify as who knows what and are greatly offended by pronouns would not fare too well under Sharia Law and if they keep up this support their wish may yet be granted, and then good luck to them.

Personally I am very glad to see the IDF kill as many of those Hamas bastards as they could lay their hands on and too bad about Gaza but quite obviously it was a fortified compound designed for a specific purpose, not exactly art and culture. I was even happier to see us strike Iran's nuclear sites and now about everything else. I think that once the China visit's over Iran will be getting a much bigger dose, hopefully an overwhelming one. Regime change from the air? Probably not. In conjunction with economic warfare - maybe, we'll see. They have a major problem and their bench isn't exactly getting any deeper, in fact quite the opposite.

Any day where we blow the crap out of anything Iranian is a good day to me. I prefer to see my tax dollars doing that than being given to every and any illegal p.o.s that washes up. Despite the drivel coming out of the regime friendly media they did not benefit from this and are not going to just bounce right back from it and they know it.

And here is a proof that Trump is an idiot.

Only this time he admits himself. He said what whole world was shouting at him "I didn't consider American finances when deciding to go to war with Iran".. I mean how can anybody with any degree of responsibility not consider finances when doing anything? Isn't he surrounded by whole flock of people with all kinds of expertise? And its not just America's finances, its finances of all of its allies.

What's his problem, is he senile like Biden?

 
I didn't consider American finances when deciding to go to war with Iran

According to that exposé by the New York Times

If it came from where I think it did it's out of context. He was saying that Iran not having a nuclear weapon was the first priority, everything else is second. Typical. People stop listening when they hear what they want and the MSM are all too happy to edit, obfuscate whatever they are 'reporting on' to facilitate that. Look up what's been going on with Spencer Pratt and the race for mayor in LA - its a version of all this writ small. Young man has balls for successfully challenging this sort of behavior with CBS and TMZ.

When I was young news was an FCC requirement for broadcasters for public service. Now its nothing but entertainment and that's how I view all of it no matter what opinions they hold. I usually surf many sources and its like panning for gold, you have to toss most of it.

I have a subscription to the NYT and it is hideously biased and utterly in lockstep with AP News, in some cases almost word for word. Tell me that's a coincidence. I really have to squint to find something that isn't infected by the bias. They pick and choose what to be outraged by and that's their prerogative, nothing new and history has examples of exactly what a friendly or unfriendly Press is capable of. IDK if 'the whole cabinet except Hesgeth' was against this or not and am suspicious of the source, but in any case that's the nature of the Cabinet - to advise, the President decides.

Besides, my elderly aunt shut in absorbs a paper version of the NYT and all day we are bombarded by speech to text literally parroting whatever anti-Trump drivel is in the news cycle that day. She has dementia and does not really comprehend any of that except the visceral response that's been baked into what she consumes. You should have heard the BS when they put him through that sham trial. As I've said, if I took scissors to that paper and cut out every mention of Trump there would be nothing but confetti left. Their lucky day he came down that elevator, it allowed them to install themselves on the moral high ground.

Air Force intel vet allegedly spiraled into Iran’s terror underworld: Timeline of deceit, hunt for spy suspect

The FBI announced on Thursday that it is offering $200,000 for information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of a former active-duty U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist and special agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations who is accused of espionage.

Monica Witt, 47, also known to use the aliases Fatemah Zarah and Narges Witt, was federally indicted in Washington, D.C. in 2018 and charged with espionage. She is accused of defecting to Iran and turning over classified information to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

What time is it? Sounds like we'll be back to the blowing up of stuff shortly. Enough with the BS and Pakistanis already.
