Just insane 5 more tankers have launched in the past hour, cant emphasise enough how big this airlift is. https://t.co/ggVpaGHBXY

Watching 36 USAF aircraft – 22 tankers, 13 transports and an E-3 AWACS over CONUS and Europe over the last 4 hours.

Are they gonna take out the key European leaders like they did Maduro?? Might bring some sense back over there!
Perhaps they should deal with Newsom, Mamdummy, and Walz first.
Are you sure that they are not being dealt with?
Doesn’t look like it
Appearances can be deceiving.
So can wishful thinking
Perhaps.
Here’s the two options: things are being addressed, if somewhat imperfectly. Counter-revolution! (ah, and I should probably not leave this out — and this could easily spiral into Ragnarok…embrace the suck!)
Or:
Nothing at all is being addressed; the system is broken and nobody’s coming to save you; prepare for the Panopticon en aeternum.
I choose to always present the first option because I’ve noticed when I go full Eeyore it tends to dispirit people. Trust me, I can be a lot more negative….embrace the chaos!
L – If racketeering and money laundering and variations of fraud et al and fixing elections are approved Grand Juries, as in felony indictments in said states. I’ll be shocked, shocked I tell you.
Them Democrats gonna be singing the blues in the fall. Maybe busking for dollars in New Orleans…
Always good to check the Pentagon Pizza Index.

Maybe they can refuel in Greenland on the way back!
Nothing like peace through superior firepower. Fall in line or we’ll conduct a little science experiment showing how you can convert sand into glass. These fricking pricks love death more than peace? Grant their wishes.
Shouldn’t we be checking Hegseth’s Signal chat instead? That’s what the Obama holdovers checked. Hegseth is a reckless, drunk, rapist, weekend Fox chat show extra [sic] … Right? He’s so far out of his depth … Right? Wrong. Soon to be DEAD wrong.
It’s about time we fixed Jimmy Carter’s biggest blunder. And re-exile the Mullahs.
What if they’re there to stop an action as much or moreso than to start one?
I hope it’s to stop further attacks on Iranian freedom fighters and Turkey’s attacks on the Kurds.
One action can often address many different things. We’ll see.
Yes. It’s be an enormous help to that 2nd island of non islamists in the M.E.
I foresee a shit kicking of epic proportions. I wonder if a big ass army isn’t staging in Iraq as we speak. I suspect every target of any military interest has been targeted and will be taken out in the first 24 hours. If the Iranian Army had any sense they would initiate a coup and take out the Revolutionary Guard. It’s going to be messy before it isn’t. Trump ain’t bluffing.
L – If the Iranian regime of the Ayatollahs falls. Will the Euro-crats in Brussels give them refuge or will U.K. Prime Minister Starmer grant them a Caliphate in Londonstan? As the credible ISIS threat against Tommy Robinson did not produce a MI5 offer of 24hr protection. He had to flee Britain, which is no longer great, nor United. Is it a Marxist/Islamist(Red/Green) Revolution conspiracy afoot, akin to the one that happened in Iran in 1979 ?
Who knows? Where is an Alfred the Great or St George? Charles Rex lll is no King Arthur!
Pretty much every movie on nuclear war, it starts in a skirmish in the middle east. May God have mercy on our souls.
Serious question. How is it that people can just monitor the comings and going’s of US military aircraft like it’s a bunch of tourist flights heading to the Caribbean for a long weekend? Can’t we mask these flights? Do we have to report our positions 24/7 via transponders or something?
The public air movements are deliberate posturing. The US wants Iran, and it’s population to know about the build up.
You may have hit the nail on the head.
oh ya. centre of the bullseye. like the fellows that paid a visit to the lranian nuke factory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_strikes_on_Iranian_nuclear_sites
bears repeating: low key this time, (pssst: God Bless the American military and the great campaigns in the last 115 years, doughboys started it now its the whole batch) and God bless the American taxpayers paying for it.
allow me to add if l was 40 years younger and spoke hebrew l would fly to tel aviv and sign up. this from the guy with a peace sign tat on my rt thigh with this scripture passage
blessed
are the
peacemakers.
it is biblical. who are the peaceMAKERS? the blokes who showed up at Normandy, the blokes who provided the ‘rain of ruin’ the blokes who smash burn everything they have and kill until they surrunder or are no more. THEY are the peaceMAKERS.
have at ‘er USA, do what you do best. the timing is right, the PEOPLE of lran will know its you and WELCOME you.
Agreed. When they hit Iran’s nuclear facilities, no-one saw them coming. But they did make a big show of bombers heading the other way…
What Joe said, and more.
Why oh why won’t Trump obey the long established Rules Based World Order? Those rules allow Iran to be an Islamic Terrorist State … develop nuclear capability … and export Islamic Terror across the planet. Trump is disobeying those rules! Gavin Newsom, AOC, and HER just said so …
Go long Oil stocks and short Taiwan Semiconductors.
Trump has given my basket of Oil Index Funds a nice little bump … at the same time we have falling gasoline prices. Talk about a ‘Goldilocks’ economy at the moment!
NVIDIA stock nice little +2-1/4% bump up today
This is nothing more than a superbly executed deep fake to keep all eyes on the Middle East…..
Meanwhile, Boy Scouts of America Troop 496 of Watertown NY are assembling for a cross border incursion to Ottawa to snatch libtard Carney. It’s why they learn to tie knots.
51st state….mission accomplished.
I do admire your sense of unfettered optimism, and can agree that this may be a head fake, but I’m afraid you’re going to have to deal with Carney for the foreseeable future.
Beauty.
I doubt the US needs another permanent Democrat state, it’s not just “leaning”.
Dangling that sort of future in front of the Laurentians is good game though, I like it.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I believe Trump has built-up our military in the region to pressure Iran to sign his deal … back off the protestors … and hopefully take a Yak trip over the Caucuses to Russia.
Those knotty Boy Scouts.

If the US military had this much firepower in the M.E. and intended it to be a surprise, I doubt it’d change the outcome one iota, “iota” in the original Greek sense.
Iota as in the 9th letter of the Greek alphabet, origins in the Phoenician Yodh, 10 of the abjads (hope I spelled that right), originally a pictograph to represent the idea of ‘hand’ and therefore often called “the hand of Destiny” or “the hand of God” in certain esoteric circles? That one?
Also translates into the Latin letters I and J…so of course I’m touched that it would be brought up.
Maybe there will be a surprise; we’ll see.
Wasn’t there an actor named “Y. Iota”, who would make threatening gestures while stating his name?
The second round of “Nuclear Talks” between the US and Iran ended just the other day in Geneva. The media gave the ole’ “there was progress, and they will exchange a written position before round 3”.
However, VP Vance gave a different description of Round 2. He said “they are not willing to accept our red line position.” That was ill advised.
Yes, the media is always negotiating for the appeasement of the radical Islamist mullahs. Sorry … but it’s high time the people of Iran got THEIR ‘Arab Spring’ … alright … ‘Persian Spring’ … one that delivers something other than the imposition of an even harsher radical Islamist theocracy.
Somewhere in the frozen Northeast … John F Kerry has fallen off his bicycle again … or slipped off the deck of his yacht anchored in the Greek Isles somewhere
Man oh man! He’s not using his head; sending all that air-power overseas. I mean, doesn’t he realize that division after division of elbows-uppers are poised along his northern border, just waiting for an opportunity like this to strike?
Thank’s for ROF-LMAO moment
Funniest thing I have heard in a week!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe our well-armed IRS Agents can handle all those elbows. I vote we send a Division of IRS Tax Return Auditors to the Canuck border.
We’re already ass deep in CRA agents as it is. Far more per capita than the US.
Lots of traffic heading east (and north).
What (or who) is happening to the west or south?
