Trump Attacks Iran, III

Apparently that was an erroneous report about finding the second pilot. So I deleted my post. Sorry! :(

The CENTCOM source who told me the second F-15E crew is rescued is now telling me that he has made a mistake and the search for him is still on-going. In fact, the second pilot he heard about him being rescued was a pilot of an A-10C+ which was shot down in Persian Gulf.

 
Trump will eventually fire Kegsbreath, then blame the whole misguided operation on him.

25th Amendment, or resigns. The only two viable options to re-open Hormuz.
He will, just like Bondi and Noem . But, strongly disagree with giving anything to Iran. We don’t want to hear it , but, the only way out of this no-win war is to win.

because two c-list tv personalities are running the "war"?
Well, the Austrian corporal did pretty well, so long as he listened to his "pros" on the Oberkommando. He even had Keitel recal Gen. Heinrici, a defensive expert (who had a half-Jewish wife, whom Hitler certified as Aryan), and then Keitel sacked him because, although Heinrici was doing a brilliant job, he was defying Hitler's edict against retreating one meter. He replaced him with Tippilskirch, who did a miserable job in a situation already hopeless. Keitel was sort of a Nazi version of Hegspeth...
 
So just to be clear, Trump 1.0 mismanaged a global pandemic and the updated version started a war with global energy consequences. And anyone who watched his haphazard and junkie on cocaine business management with the constant bankruptcy filings knew it. (The number of people who tell me how great that strategy was…..yes, Sam Walton’s six bankruptcies explain his business genius for sure.

He has already reportedly increased the deficit by $1.7 trillion dollars. Do you think he plans for the U.S. government to file bankruptcy? Or maybe executive order the debt away?

he will just walk away from the destruction he wrought without a second thought, just like every single other thing he's ever been involved in
 
What was an A-10 doing in Iran anyway? I thought they were strictly a close ground support aircraft...
Honestly, probably to strafe small boats that threatened oil tankers in the Strait. Either that or your question provided the answer. Preparing for ground engagement.

There is podcast from 2018-2021 named "Trump Inc." that meticulously reports on the Trump family's financial dealings through the years. It has a liberal perspective (Propublica is the shop that made it), but the reporting is meticulous and grounded in what has been presented through the years. It is fascinating and proves that if you start life with a billion bucks in hand, the belief that you can do anything no matter how illegal, and a good legal team, it is very difficult to fail no matter how badly you manage your finances.
 
Iran defense minister says they hit 5 U.S. military aircraft yesterday with a new air defense system they, the Iranians developed and built.
They claim the F15 and hit 2 A-10s, downing 1. They also claim to have hit the 2 helicopters searching for the pilot. The video I saw was small arms fire shooting at the helicopter. If there was real anti aircraft danger, the Helicopters and the C130 wouldn’t still be flying low and slow.

I love the viewpoint being spouted by Al Jezeera, Sky News, BBC , ABC, NBC that Trump lied about air superiority when Iran state media themselves say this is new technology and they will reclaim the skies over Tehran. Look at the destruction across Iran and tell me the U.S. hasn’t had air superiority . Thousands of sorties and finally they shoot down a U.S. aircraft. It was bound to happen.

What we’re seeing is a situation where targetry never makes up for a lack of strategy. And by that I mean 15,000 targets have been hit. There have been significant military successes, but they are not matched by strategic outcomes. Now, some of the strategic outcomes early on, unconditional surrender, regime change, we’re going to dictate who the next supreme leader is — those were clearly nonsense. Those were delusional and you don’t hear those bandied about anymore. There are some that have been achieved in the military realm. They no longer have a Navy of any note. They no longer have the numbers of ballistic missiles and the defense infrastructure they had before. But the bottom line is it is not matched by success in the strategic area, and that’s a bad thing.
