I don’t disagree with that. Just the narrative that the Iran’s just straight trucked a bunch of 60-90% enriched uranium out and nobody in combined intelligence community said “hmm, I wonder what’s in those 18 wheelers?”

The amount I've heard the amount of enriched uranium they had is 400 kg give or take.  You could haul that in the back of your 1-ton dually.

Hey catch me up on what the Soleimani strike did for the US. While no US soldiers died in the Iran response, 7 or 8 had their brains scrambled. For what purpose? What person of any note whatsoever thought it was a good idea?

Soleimani was the mastermind behind Iranian attacks on American soldiers in Iraq, especially in the production and distribution of EFP’s that killed and maimed thousands of Americans. His assassination crippled IRGC efforts across the region and likely saved many lives, including those of Americans, from Iranian-backed terrorism. It also disrupted the operations of Iranian proxy networks who depended on Soleimani’s experience and strategy, preventing complex, high impact attacks. The strike was made after recent provocations by Iran on American interests (2019 attack on US base in Iraq, and on American Embassy in Baghdad) and re-established deterrence against Iran from further actions. 
 

TL;DR Soleimani was their best General, responsible for thousands of American casualties, and his death weakened Iran’s ability to project power on the interests of America and its allies.

Holy shit my takeaway from this little kerfuffle is that if you bought Soviet or Chinese air defense equipment you’ve been put on notice you’re fucked.  This is a huge boon to western manufacturers of air defense and especially to anti missile defense.  Crazy how easily Israel established air superiority and that there is basically nothing Iran can do except asymmetric responses at this point.

This whole thing has been a mastercourse across the spectrum. Its absolutely true that we’ve learned how to stay ahead of most adversaries on the technical level, but Iran has been outclassed at every level. Israeli intelligence, cyber, and special forces were integral to making this possible and these are areas where peer adversaries will be more capable than the Iranians. And its harder to do globally.


There are reports that Israel left letters under the door for key regime supporters warning them to jump ship or risk being targets.  Israel has simply had dominance across most domains and could choose where to engage. 
 

And the bravura performance here strikes at the heart of the “Muslim street’s” mass neuroses about Israel. It’s more about the constant humiliation across any engagement than it ever was about Gaza or Palestine, its a primal thing.

In theory, sure, but I assume there's some sort of containment around the radioactive, corrosive, and chemotoxic material.

So what are you arguing? That launching unilateral bombing campaigns against a sovereign country under false pretenses is a good thing? Help me understand.

No. Once again I’m not arguing with you there. I merely pointed out that they couldn’t build a nuke, and it seemed clear they wanted to do so.  To state that they could if they wanted to actually ruins your argument.

Since it seems like you haven’t heard of Soleimani before, I’d recommend this long profile on him by Dexter Filkins in the Atlantic from 2013. He was an undeniably bad dude.

Okay bro, cool. If the answers to my questions were so obvious, why did you have to run off to grok to get an answer and then pretend like you wrote it? Again, you still haven't answered either question, which is fine, we'll end it there. It's obvious you don't have an answer.

Israel for starters - over the last decade (that we know about):

  • In Jan 2010, nuclear physicist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi stepped out of his Tehran home. A parked motorcycle exploded via remote detonation, killing him instantly. Mossad spent months meticulously planning this
  • In Nov 2010, Mossad agents on motorcycles attached a magnet bomb to Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari's car door in Tehran. It detonated seconds later, killing him. Shahriari's death severely impacted Iran's nuclear development timeline.
  • Stuxnet - In Operation Olympic Games, Israel (with US cooperation) deployed the Stuxnet virus into Natanz nuclear facility. Over 1,000 centrifuges were destroyed by spinning uncontrollably. Iran's uranium enrichment was set back by several years.
  • Supply Chain disruptions - Mossad agents systematically sabotaged Iran's nuclear supply chains in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East covertly inserting faulty components into critical nuclear equipment. Machines broke unpredictably, delaying progress significantly.
  • 2018, Mossad stole over 55,000 pages of Iran's secret nuclear archives from a heavily guarded Tehran warehouse exposing the regime's nuclear ambitions and humiliating Iran's security apparatus publicly.
  • Natanz Explosion in July '20 and then the Karaj Facility attack in July '21 - both widely attributed to the Israeli's.

Ok, I get what you're saying, but almost this (aside from Natanz) happened well before they began enriching uranium to 60+%.

Of course that's tongue in cheek.  The US built Hanford WA and Oak Ridge TN facilities at the cost of billions of today's dollars to create less fissile material than that for the two bombs used in WWII.

That was in April of '21 - prompting the Natanz Attack on April 11th '21.  You apparently need enrichment closer to 90% for a weapon, but they are close - hence the recent movement.  All the internal IDF sabotage, drones, and personnel identification/targeting that takes years and years of preparation and planning obviously stems from this achievement in enrichment.

To answer the bolded, because there are birds in the air on an active mission.  That's really pretty common regarding ceasefires.  It's not a "we just had a call, so it starts NOW" sort of thing.  You pick a time in the very near future (often a matter of hours).

Understood and I know it is very common. With modern communications, etc., you'd think it could be far less.   It seems there's a risk of someone going rogue and thinking, "I have 6 hours to mess some shit up."

Because Israel already has planes currently doing air strikes before this was announced.

Once started, you have to set window for it to stop. I don't like it because more bombs = more death, but once Israel has entered Iranian airspace for another round, you can't expect either side to just stop. I would have hoped that this was something that would have been worked out before they left, but once committed to Iranian airspace, it is a disaster waiting to happen to try to call them back or to expect Iran not to target them while they are in the air. It is better to let things play out one last time than to try to wave them off mid mission and have someone on either side not get the message and have it break down all over again.

Don't bother, the left hates America and would rather defend foreign nations and people than protect decency.

Brian Fantana and the fanatics (sweet band name ) would rather Trump and therefore America fail under him than see him have any sort of success because the party of tolerance is only tolerant with those that blindly fall in line with the progressive agenda, open borders, transgenderism in schools, and eradicating all western culture in the name of white guilt so that everyone wins but the West. But it has been funded and forced into our schools so they cant help it. They are blue pilled. Feel sorry for them but understand they are the single greatest threat to the Western World.

I counted about 20 missiles used for intercept. Definitely more than 15. Hard to get an accurate count with the shaky camera work. Pretty good hit percentage for Patriot with those numbers.

These are the same Iranian officials who told the media that:

Destroying the US bases in the ME
Overwhelming the Israeli air defenses
Struck the Israeli defense HQ
Would strike America if the US entered their airspace
etc....

Come back in 6 hours and see Khomeini's declaration that Israel has given in to their might and agreed to a ceasefire while they negotiate the end of the failed Jewish state.
