Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran

You mean you'd rather waste time on me instead of perusing the videos of that great historian. Why I'm very flattered by all this attention assuming you're straight of course coz I don't roll the other way !
Jesus Christ, dude, you really just typed a novel defending why you can’t drop one single effing fact. You’re out here comparing yourself to God, gurus, and Shaolin monks because some YouTuber triggered your old-man paranoia, then you casually drop ‘me pumping your girl makes me the biological father’ like that’s some profound life lesson and not the creepiest shit a divorced boomer ever typed with one hand.
You're actually the protagonist in the 36th chamber of Shaolin. At least he understood life's lessons. OTOH you're still angling in waters where there're no fish
Bro, you’re not Yoda. You’re the guy in the 36th Chamber who showed up, waved his hands dramatically, got laughed out the room, and now spends the rest of his life telling everyone ‘you just don’t get the wisdom’ while hiding the fact you never actually learned kung fu.
Of course it's deep wisdom for you . I've already dissed him , remember. You're the contrarian out here . Hence it's for you to discover pearls of wisdom to prove me wrong. It's either that or you go with what I say. You could die wondering too . Decide & let me know .
I could point you towards a dictionary to look up what contrarian actually means but that would be too much work for you.
You keep yelling ‘watch the whole oeuvre or die wondering’ like some mystical sensei, but the truth is you got nothing. Zero. You called the guy a ‘Han con man’ with CCP ties and now you’re doing backflips, sex metaphors, and Gen Z roasts because you got nothing where he actually lied or got caught. That’s not wisdom, that’s cowardice with extra steps and a kung-fu movie reference. I'll say this once again, I neither agreed nor disagreed with your statements about him but was curious about why you have such strong opinions about him.
Get this over with ?! Heck I'd have you know I come here for 3 clowns & entertainment. Right now one is AWOL & the other one is undergoing menopause which leaves me entertainment starved. I'm easily entertained too in case you haven't noticed. Not too demanding at all .
And the best part? You’re sittin’ there bored out of your skull because your two other allegedly forum clowns are ghostin’ you, the third one’s goin’ through menopause or whatever, so now you’re draggin’ me into this endless kung-fu TED Talk just to feel something for five minutes. Nah, I’m good, pal. Keep your muft gyaan, keep that gold-standard 1000th-thrust punchline you’re so proud of. I’m done playing fetch with you. Go touch grass… or stare at the wall… or whatever ritual you do when the forum kids finally stop humoring you.
 
Didn't that guy say that America has forgotten the importance of logistics and protecting supply lines in favor of 'shock and awe'? That is certainly one of the takes of all time.

I have no idea about this whole Han conman business, but he's not clearly as astute on matters concerning the military as he is about politics.

Edit- To be clear, I'm not denying that America has leaned heavily into the 'shock and awe' style of military campaigning. My issue is with his other claim–that US armed forces don't understand the importance of logistics.
I'm not aware of the video you are referencing but judging by the Iran war, he might be onto something especially based on trumps behaviour.
 
Jesus Christ, dude,
Please refrain from taking the Lord's name in vain. However frustrated one is in life , one should never lose faith in the Almighty . Amen !

I'm giving you analogies my child in the hope you'd understand & mend your ways . Alas !

Sigh ! I spent 15 min of my life giving you a summary of whatever I've learnt in the 40+ years of my journey on earth & it's all been a waste of time.

I sincerely believed you were intelligent enough to get the hint & start perusing those videos of that eminent historian . Instead you're here with another dose of your daily entitlement demands.
Bro, you’re not Yoda. You’re the guy in the 36th Chamber who showed up, waved his hands dramatically, got laughed out the room, and now spends the rest of his life telling everyone ‘you just don’t get the wisdom’ while hiding the fact you never actually learned kung fu.
Who said I'm Yoda ? I just attached a meme featuring Yoda . If you do the same with Trump does that make you Trump although there's a remarkable similarity between the two of you . He thinks he deserves the Nobel . You think you're entitled to answers for existential questions. If not you throw tantrums like what we're seeing.

Well you seem the kind not familiar with the phrase - the proof of the pudding is in its eating. There , I've now familiarised you with that phrase.

Put in dummy terms it means one can wax eloquent or be utterly destructive in ones criticism of the pudding. But the genuine test lies in eating it for only then can you make up your mind on how good or bad it is .

Now if this isn't an incentive to you to go peruse those videos I really don't know what is .

The Lord be praised ! At least the kid got something right. I was about to throw in the towel thinking I'm dealing with another of those who graduated during COVID. Not that this means you didn't.

I told you before - I'm not too demanding. I'm easily entertained.
Nah, I’m good, pal. Keep your muft gyaan, keep that gold-standard 1000th-thrust punchline you’re so proud of. I’m done playing fetch with you. Go touch grass… or stare at the wall… or whatever ritual you do when the forum kids finally stop humoring you.
Does that mean you'd finally peruse those videos ? That all my efforts haven't been in vain ? That you will then come here with an exhaustive list of what you think that eminent historian got right just so you get the pleasure of proving me wrong ?

Just when I thought you're a hopeless case , comes a miracle. The Lord be praised . Bless you kid ! You're not as bad as I thought you were. How worse can you get depends on how do you interpret those videos !

Understood although not everyone here believes in him. Also are you seriously going ‘please don’t take the Lord’s name in vain, Amen!’ routine after you spent three posts talking about pumping girls and 1000th thrusts? Bro, pick a lane, are you a holy sensei or a horny forum troll?

Fair enough but you keep forgetting that you are in a place meant to exchange information and ideas where you keep participating on your own free will even though nobody forced you to do so and the audacity and laziness to not spend half a minute to tell about your idea you yourself put forward but expect a fellow participant to cover over 7000 minutes(I manually counted) of video content online is surely the best way to move forward according to you. Also the pudding test only works when someone actually hands you a spoon, not when you scream ‘go eat the entire bakery first or you’re a tantrum-throwing COVID grad!’

I’m probably not gonna watching it until you grow a pair and post some facts here but who knows if I change my mind. Until then, enjoy talking to yourself, grandpa. I’m out.
 

U.S. aircraft dropped "multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions" on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command announced.
 
Depends on whether it's just peasants or regular army (non-IRGC). Unless there's something major planned behind the scenes, I don't see this going anywhere though. It's maybe set back Iran's nuclear and defence industry a few years though.
If the regime survives, the chances of Iran as another nuclear power emerging will increase exponentially, which would further provoke Saudis to start working on their own nukes.

This conflict has potential to give birth to atleast two new NUCLEAR armed nations.

Repeated strikes like this will likely be needed I suspect. Iran having nukes will likely start a nuclear war even if they don't fire first. If an Iranian missile salvo is heading to Israeli cities, they aren't going to wait for them to land to find out whether they're nuclear of not.
 
Iranian drones attacked the US Embassy's logistics support headquarters in Baghdad and the upper floors of the Royal Tulip Al Rasheed Hotel.

The army is still loyal to the regime. There's no alternative govt to support.
