Post by: Eagler on February 28, 2026, 06:16:09 AM
The mission to free the Iranians has begun  :rolleyes: ..go team usa..and Israel..

Epic fury...hoping it won't be an epic mistake..

The thoughts of going down in history as the potus that destroyed iran was to strong an ego pull for this one..

God help us  :pray

It is what it is so lets simply discuss the facts for the sake of understanding instead of injecting political agendas and hopefully this thread will last a while.

Strikes have been ongoing since around 0200 est with many dozens of regime leadership and missile facilities hit.   Iran has launched missiles at pretty much every country except Oman.

Just trying to understand the reason to start such a thing at this time..

BBC describes Israeli attack as "preemptive" making it sound like their attack prevented a known coming imminent Iranian attack..we are to believe this as fact..

Please keep us posted rabbidrabbit,  it's why I started the thread..

So far Iran has fired some missiles at pretty much every neighbor and scored a few hits on them and US assets.  The ballistic missile launches have been under 100 and only a few at a time. They seem to have little to no effective air defense.  This was kicked off with a decapitation strike against a key leadership meeting and it may well have been effective.  Too early to say but it's possible that we may be past peak fear by Monday.

We have new technology and leadership planning. We are taking out pure evil and liberating millions of peope from an oppressive government trying to get nuclear weapons to maintain their terrorism and dark banking money laundering for the cabal.

The reality is once you inject political opinions the thread gets locked.  Given this is observably true, a reasoned discussion would discuss the facts without political opinions and projections. To me, that seem to be the best way to avoid the majority of threads getting locked.

All war is inevitably about or due to political reasons. It sucks, but if we didnt have war, well wed never have WW2 and air combat games like Aces High. I still see that most dont really understand why Iran is a problem for America. Dont you guys feel some sort of glee that we are liberating people  from horrible dictatorships who commit massive human rights abuses? Ive always dreamed of having a leader like this.

You're correct... but what is there to discuss about war that you would call "reasoned". I can get the death count from Fox. People today awoke to feelings ranging from excitement, to fear, to hate, to anger. There is nothing reasoned in emotion.

My "reasoned" observation.... stand by for retributive acts in your homeland.

I believe in the liberation of all countries from tyrannical regimes.  I also believe in the admission of liberated countries into the Union.  The Union of the Unites States of America.

The Unites States of America is not just a geographical area anymore.  It is a state of mind.  It is the belief that all men and women are created equal regardless of the life path they choose when different from others.

Adding the richness and diversity of all cultures into the melting pot increases the value of being American.  Stronger together.

I would see it being a shame for all these military actions not be the catalyst for growing the United Sataes.  Safety and stability would be the goal.

Those are fair points without politically biased declarations.  This is a solid example of what I was saying.  One of the reasons I made the original post last week was so people could have these discussions and to your last point, consider what risks might develop and consider taking a look at their resiliency plan.

Admittedly there have been large protests in Iran against it's leadership and those actions seem to have the support of many here. I gather that in some strange way, the protests in Iran are seen as a good thing while protests at home are seen as radicals. Maybe some can appreciate that to the outside observer, the legitimacy of both groups of protesters is indistinguishable.

But the caution I would offer is that any form of an external attack on a nation can and often does unify it's citizens against the attacker.

People here are protesting illegal criminals getting deported to make our cities safer.

Pretty funny how our liberal citizens will go out of their way to create a problem, meanwhile people are dealing with real world problems... and they will complain about this administration helping them.

Line 1: Before you call others a retard, you should read a little more. The protests in Iran are about the economy. No Government is immune to killing citizens.

Line 2: Most are not as convinced as you clearly have been that domestic protests have anything to do with deportations.

The people of Iran, who are by far not a majority of hard line muslims, have been trying to throw off the mullahs for decades.They recently tried again, and were slaughtered in droves. Iran, at one time, before the beginning of shreckless foreign policy, was relatively modern, relatively free, and relatively peaceful. The same applies to Afghanistan, which, unlike Iran, was wrecked by direct invasion by an evil nation.

You cannot free a people unwilling to fight and die for liberty, as seen in Afghanistan and Iraq. Whether Iran will be different or not remains to be seen.

Iran, under the mullahs, has been a massive sponsor of terrorism, funded by the stupidity of some of the shreckless foreign policy of the U.S. They have been attempting to foment unrest and war all over the middle east, and when possible, all over the world. As the rest of the middle east becomes more modern, desiring peace and prosperity rather than hate and strife, the radicals and hard liners have become a small minority, and the rest are getting sick and tired of the suffering and misery.

I see this as an opportunity to help some more peaceful people become free again, and remove a cancer eating away at the world, at the same time. I also see this conflict as unavoidable, eventually, something was going to happen.

War is different now. We are striking targets and defeating military leaders leaving their military with 0 leadership and direction. We arent needing "boots on the ground" like before. Our tactics are different and our technology is far more superior than it was just 15 years ago before AI. Our military isnt hamstrung like it use to be either. I don't expect a war like Iraq and Afghanistan. When the money stops flowing so do the militias. Remember that most attacks happen when they have the funding and direction of leadership, now they dont have that. All of the middle Eastern countries are going to cave on Iran and they'll have little choice but to bend the knee.

So we've been at war with Iran for 47 years ... OK sure..

Next you will say we've been at war with NK and China for almost 76 years..since June 1950...

Well heck let's decapitate those leaders and free allow those tormented souls too...

Eagler

Actually... The United States is not actively at war with North Korea, but the two nations remain in a technical state of conflict, as the 1950–1953 Korean War ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty.

<blank stare> some comments here are frankly just polarized blind devotion views, ya know like normal.

I can’t read the whole thread.

Some refuse to think more than 5 min ahead.

Article 1 & 2

It’s always good when a bad leader is taken out

Does anyone think who is taking charge next? Plan is a much more hardliner is set to take control. No more than 5 minutes of thought was put into that.

Attacks will likely be here, like 9/11. We are not invincible, to think so is foolish. Releasing biological warfare can be done with a balloon. An army didn’t take towers down in NYC. Afgan leaders didn’t do it a terrorist group did. Hezbollah and others come to mind

Telling the Iranians to take their country back. What are they gonna do throw their shoes at a well armed military? They don’t have 500 million guns like the USA. They have almost no means to do so. No more than 5 minutes of thought was put into that.

You can’t change an regime with zero boots on the ground. Venezuela regime was not replaced, it’s the same regime and there were boots on the ground.

Again, good they are dead, but like Iraq and Afghanistan then end game didn’t exist, nor does it here.

Some sad no politics while your whole stance is based on politics. There’s no cognitive convo here, its all biased and predictable.

Great strike, bad end game planning, if any at all.

Should it have happened? Yep. By this group of half-wits? Probably not, we are about to find out. Could be 1 yr could be 20 yrs. They fixed the current situation, broke laws doing it, not the future.

It’s also a convenient distraction, again.

 it’s 100% predictable. These two sides can’t agree on what color the sky is. Throw a few Q comments and off the rails it goes.

A no wars president attacked or threatened 7 countries, some our allies. Concept blown.

So much for low gas prices

They planned for the unarmed people to finish the job. 50% needed, 50% theater.

Typical of USA to change a regime and get worse then they started with. This can be worse.

I don't think it will happen unless you put boots on the ground.  Regime change I mean.

We bombed Nazi Germany into rubble for four years.  They could have held out another twenty. 

It wasn't until Allied boots were deep in Germany that we got regime change.  How long did we bomb N. Vietnam?

I just remember HW encouraging all those Iraqi's to rise up.  They all got slaughtered and Saddam laughed at our naivete.  We didn't get rid of Saddam until we marched an army in there.

You think this will make them crumble?  Did the Blitz?  Did 9-11?  Remember, these are people who marched children across minefields to clear them.

I'm not against blowing up Mullahs.  But I believe we just got committed to something I'm afraid will be a very long project.  If we are going to get locked into something like that, maybe months, maybe years, maybe decades, it needs to have gone through open deliberation in the Congress the way the Founders intended.  There was no immediate critical threat that require action before Congressional Authorization of Force could be voted on. 

And don't say, "Everybody does it."
Because someone else has violated the Constitution does then give everyone free-for-all pass to do so.  If someone committed a rape and got away with it, does that give anyone the right to rape then?  Of course not.

You either believe in adherence to the Constitution, or you don't.  If that is a situation decision for you, then you don't really believe in the form of government the Founders tried to give us.
I don't find any, "Yeah, but..." convincing.

And I asked you to read the act again last time too. ;)


According to Section 2(c) of the Act, the President can only introduce U.S. Armed Forces into "hostilities" (or situations where hostilities are imminent) under three conditions:

1.  A Declaration of War by Congress.

2.  Specific Statutory Authorization (like an Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF).

3.  A National Emergency created by an attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.



Gemini said
The War Powers Act (WPR) is still in force and is designed to cover almost all forms of military activity, not just "boots on the ground" infantry. However, this is one of the most debated and "lawyered" areas of U.S. foreign policy.

1. Does it cover Air Power and Missiles?
Yes, legally. The text of the law refers to the "introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities." It does not distinguish between a soldier with a rifle, a pilot in a fighter jet, or a technician launching a cruise missile.

The Intent: When the law was passed in 1973, it was a direct response to the "secret bombings" of Cambodia during the Vietnam War—an air campaign. Congress specifically wanted to prevent the President from waging war from the sky without their input.

The Language: Section 4(a)(2) of the Act specifically mentions the introduction of forces into the "territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation, while equipped for combat." This clearly includes naval ships and air force squadrons.

they will not just "give up" until someone with the gun shows up to make them.
They have been slaughtering people for years, if you give up - families of those people will show up in your house shortly, and there goes your family.

There is no opposition to "hand over" power to. Son of Shah has been talking up media - not sure if that is a good idea for anyone and i doubt Iranians will like it.

Thousands of people will die in local fights for power. What emerges could be worst then what was there before.

From your link:

(c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States
Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly
indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to
(1) a declaration of war,
(2) specific statutory authorization, or
(3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its
territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

This is something Trump has been threatening for months, and tip-toeing up to for weeks.
There was plenty of time to go to Congress, make the case on why this was needed, and what the exit conditions look like.
Congress can then vote either option 1 or 2.

Then you should have no problem making that case to Congress and get your authorization in a single days session.

But short of an in-progress attack, you don't meet the third criteria.

Look, if you are right, go make your case and get your vote.  That is the way the Founders intended our military to be used.  Not at the momentary whim of a single man.

Follow the process.  I'm not questioning you goal, just your means.  And following all the annoying rules is what separates us from that regime.

The Islamic Republic of Iran supported Hamas. If I was Israeli I'd want the head of everyone responsible for the atrocities of 10/7 and I wouldn't rest until I succeeded. I suspect many there feel this way exactly.

I don't think the Israelis are that dumb.  lol

Only the US can project that kind of power.  Israel knew that.  They knew once we got our hands dirty with them, we are now on the hook for the outcome.  Our prestige is on the line.

Every day some form of that regime holds power, we look weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker.  We have to win.  They merely have to endure until the mid-terms.

How long before the, "We got to see this through to the end.  We have to finish what we started.  ...." speech?

Whoever does.. they will have a chance to make an agreement.  If they choose to honor that, will determine the next steps.

No nukes,
No missiles,
No funding these third party terror groups.

If that fails, we go in with boots next time, and appoint an entire government for them.

I don't think that matters.

Between now and the mid-terms, you're not going to be able to kill them all.


It could work out OK.  I doubt it.

But I also doubted the USSR would have dissolved without violence.

But I think that was a once in a millennia lucky bounce of the ball. 
I don't think that will happen here.

I suspect this to be like Iraq.  We will whack them occasionally and they will hold on to power because as long as you still have some thugs riding around in jeeps with machine guns, they can control an unarmed populace.  You can't surgically pick off every thug in a jeep from 1500 miles away.

This will smolder on until things are a mess and we feel obligated to go in and finish it with boots.

There are multiple primarily muslim nations in the middle east that support it. All you have to do to learn that is look beyond a few mainstream malignancy sources.

Again, the modern nations in the middle east seek peace, prosperity, and an end to terrorism and extremism. It has taken many of them an extra century or so, but the trappings of peace and prosperity have become irresistible to them.

Some people have more imagination than details.

No one can answer what forward is, including the one who started it. Thats the real problem.Not one person said a strike shouldn’t have happened, the rest is avoided bcause it looks horrible.

If a person cannot go into detail for what they say,… stop listening. Opinions mean jack sht. You’re not debating with honest brokers. They aren’t even honest with themselves.

None of know how this will work out.  I'm sure it's a high risk move and it could go quite well or drag out over months turning into civil war.  We just don't know but we can share info and discuss without the shades of political overtones.  Iran seemed to think that attacking everyone in a death blossom would cause them to beg the US to stop and come back to the negotiating table where Iran would presumably have the upper hand.  That is what they were saying and doing.  It looks like they misjudged and it's building a coalition where there wasn't one before.  Israel said a few hours ago that nearly half the TELs have been taken out so hopefully the regimes ability to strike out will fade soon.  The big question will come down to whether the regime can hold on to all or at least some power in Iran.  Only time will tell.  We may see some more terrorist attacks in the US like Austin last night.  Try not to be so negative let's watch this unfold with as little stress as possible.

Three U.S. F-15s Involved in Friendly Fire Incident in Kuwait; Pilots Safe

USCENTCOM

TAMPA, Fla.   At 11:03 p.m. ET, March 1, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident.

During active combat that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones   the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.

All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.

The cause of the incident is under investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Wars seldom play out like you wrote down on paper.
The after-effects, even less so.
War is messy business.

My fear is, just air bombing isn't going to achieve the desired end state. 
I don't think you can bomb them into a British style Parliamentary system.

What I suspect is you are either going to see the current regime hold on, beaten but still able to intimidate the populace.
Or the whole thing explode into a regional  Sunni\Shia bloodbath and Iran become a new Syria failed state splintered into multiple warlord extremist regions.  Maybe a new form of Shia ISIS.

To completely replace the current regime with a functioning representative government is going to take some type of long term occupation.  US or US+UN mission of monumental size.  Iran is 3 times the size of Iraq.

I thought it was already obliterated the first time.  Did it need to be more obliteratored?  ;)

I'm sure we did.

Is that our exit criteria? 

Are you willing to walk at this point?  Or are we locked in for more?
If the regime hunkers down and holds on, are you willing to live with that? 
Or does exit require their replacement?  Even if it takes a 500k occupation for 10 years.

Those are the interesting questions that should have been debated in Congress and voted on.

Even from a purely tactical point of view.  It looks now like this move does not  have the backing of Congress or the majority of the American people.
What you are signaling to them is to not surrender but hunker down until the mid-terms.

A Congressional Authorization of Force would have sent a clear signal that this is the durable will of the American people.  That's a better negotiating position.

He is stuck in a loop of emotionally driven negativity about things that don't affect his life and he can't just walk away and find positive things.  It is very easy to do and once you are stuck in that path of despair it's hard to see things in balance.  Lot's of people follow that path and there are plenty of organizations that push those negative narratives as a psyop.  He thinks I'm attacking him but I'm actually trying to help him see past it.  He is a good guy and again, it's not hard to let that emotional hook eat away at your mindset.  I follow this stuff because I'm a professional investor and I find keeping up on things to be both interesting and productive.  I learned a long time ago to keep challenging all narratives from all directions.  Once you have an emotional commitment to one narrative you often get blind sided by reality.

Takes oil to make those panels. Maybe dig more coal.

I can't say it any better...

Eagler

Ya know, and everyone knows, I have zero tolerance for nonsense and will call out BS as fast as s lightning strike. I have call you out a few times. But, unlike others here, I don’t think you have a malice intent to purposely mislead snd knowingly misinform as many as possible to save face with half-baked half-truth that others live by here. Basically, some knowingly lie with the weakest attempts to save face within a “cult”. Thats right I said the word, because by definition that's exactly what they project on themselves. When you’re in the right they will troll and harass you like children do. They don’t ned to waste anymore energy being embarrassed, I embarrassed FOR them. They just don’t mind appearing ignorant, even when they know better.

That said, when someone has their heart and ducks in a row, and on the right path I also compliment them. In this case I agree with your core stance here. Don’t let them strong arm you and insult you into submission. They do not have their information ducks in a row. They will use side-chute remarks to throw you off balance and trick you into agreeing, or expose you as an outsider of the cult and are subhuman.

What you found was instinct and common logic.

So, what I disagree with in the past does not stop me when I think you’re on the right path. So I agree with your point on this matter. Individual subjects, not blanket answer to every subject is the way. Voting should be the same.

Frankly, some here spew nonsense and use evasion to simply sabe fave on every other stupid thing they said in the past and now. Several have proved anything they say here, they back it up with zero.

The very reason, Lazer bites my ankles everywhere I go, is because he had been trolling 200 with politics to provoke the other side. You know me, I said take your politics off 200, 6-8 followed me and said the same. So now that he knows I’m not maga I’m a target for immature constant provoking. Nothing more, nothing less. I have zero tolerance for nonsense and I will ensure its not a happy memory for him or anyone else, however ridiculous. I liked Lazer, until he opened his political mouth and turned on me because I’m not maga. I’m not a lib either, subject by subject is the way.

Ignore them. 90% of the time instincts are correct. You don’t need anyone here to justify your instincts and frankly morals.

This is a BS session that never ends and the BS is rampant. I don’t call this new fad of a willful ignorance, its willful stupidity.

On this subject, you keep your morals intact with a white knuckle death grip. Because, when someone volunteers to take your place in your coffin, thats when they can tell you what to think or do.

In short, F em.

All the salient points. I would add there is a no small morale factor also that can't be measured in terms only of shekles but is very valuable nonetheless. Having your best attacks thwarted is demoralizing. Seeing your enemy thwarted may provide courage to endure.

I’m about to move into a more expensive home, buy a lot We have no clue what’s coming to us because of Iran in the next 20 yrs. We list players because if crap like this. I will not be nice to those who caused this mess, no one is.

This is all due to a tribe with 35% approval, about to drop to upper 20%. The entire world is fed up. It is absolutely not a majority on any subject. This one included.

Interesting. Seems IFF failed in Desert Storm a couple times as well. It is also odd that he apparently could not discern the difference between large fighter aircraft and the drones/missiles Iran was firing. Nor could his controllers, apparently. Heat of battle, I guess.

So:  Is Turkey required to ask for help under Article 5, or is that automatic?  If Turkey does not ask, then why?  If Turkey does ask, then what?

Really? I guess they just want to be in step with the rest of the world.

Or you know, the rest of the world can be in step with us. News flash Americans created the most prosperous, rich, and advanced country on the planet. Why would we want to be like the rest of the world? We created our own measurement system for a reason.

When the same people who tell me they are pro American while disgracing our founders and tearing down their statues, to me says a lot about their real motives and infiltration of our culture. Americans are a culture. Americans are a people. We arent just a country open for invasion for anyone and everything.

Really? What are they now?


The leftists are fascist, racist, and collectivist, there's nothing American about them, or their positions.

And yeah, we don't WANT to be in step with the rest of the world. There's no valid reason to be. We don't want to be globalist, either.

NATO is relatively meek and impotent, left to their own devices. Honestly, more than half of NATO never meets their commitments, so it doesn't necessarily matter if Turkey is required, or it is automatic. Whether or not they ask, excuses will be made, and it won't matter anyway. Turkey has no desire to get involved. Neither does NATO.


Iran flinging missiles and drones in a desperate attempt to escalate the hostilities, or draw other nations in, is just that, desperate. And extremely unlikely to have any sort of result Iran would find palatable or desirable.

Well then it’s a good thing they live in… America.

Yeah, good for them. If they lived in most any place they claim is better, being rabidly anti government would have them winning the room temperature derby in rapid order. If America was what they claimed it was, they'd have ceased to exist long ago.

Glad it makes you happy. The rest of the world... we don't want any part of it.

Now we have not only some speaking for everyone on this board but the whole world. At least there is some entertainment value in this.

The Iranian people and the Iranian refugees around the world are largely supporting what we are doing. Iran's neighbors are getting on board too. Why does anyone elsewhere think their opinion matters more than the people most affected by this?

That's rhetorical btw. The answers are obvious.

So you're not denying being a globalist socialist as a few of us have suspected.  Why do you even need the US?  Everything OK in Canada?  Usually people squeak when they feel slighted, or something has been taken from them. So,  what have we taken from you (adjusts to second breast to give Canada a better suckle).

The first torpedo kill since WW2 has been confirmed.

There were 2 in the Falklands in the 1980s  :rolleyes:

I should have qualified that statement as “the first confirmed torpedo kill bu a US ship since WW2”. What was the West Falkland ship you Brit’s smoked again, the Belegrino?

After speaking to several direct sources, I now feel confident in reporting that an F-15E Strike Eagle with the U.S. Air Force crashed early Wednesday during a strike mission over Southwestern Iran. The cause of the crash is still unknown, though at least one source attributed it…
