No Man Left Behind

@Geiger_Capital

This movie is going to be insane…

American WSO ejects over Iran and spends ~48 hours hiding in the mountains while the IRGC hunts him. We cover him with 24/7 air support until US Special Ops can get to him, only for their Plan A planes to get stuck on the rural airstrip we setup deep in Iranian territory. They blow up the planes so Iran can’t recover them, fly in 3 new ones for extract, and still manage to get everyone home alive.

No man left behind. 🇺🇸

New York Post has the details.

Update: Glenn Reynolds speculates.

House Cleaning?

Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General. Would any SDA readers like to speculate as to why?

The president wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration and offering no specific reason for why she would be leaving.

Just How Far Can Iranian Missiles Fly?

The following may be propaganda, so view it with healthy skepticism:

Here’s NATO Secretary, Mark Rutte, talking about the same.

If the Iranians really do have such long range capabilities, shouldn’t they be stopped? Asking for my European friends.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

Iran denies, but which Iran?

Operation Epic Fury


Coulda had a pipeline: “…the scheduled increase in the industrial carbon price to $110 per tonne April 1 couldn’t come at a worse time.”

More background on the installation hit.

Israel targeted oil depots under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. For years the IRGC has used state oil assets as its private revenue stream. Instead of operating through a normal government budget, it was granted control over oil resources and the income they generate.

Those funds have financed the regime’s regional war machine—paying for proxy militias, purchasing weapons and equipment from China, and underwriting destabilization from Lebanon to Yemen.

Operation Epic Fury: Day 5

During an official Department of War (DOW) press conference Thursday afternoon, Cooper said that the number of Iranian ships now sunk under ocean waves thanks to American forces is up to 30, with a particularly large vessel set ablaze just before the press conference began.

“if I just look back over the last 24 hours of the operation compared to where we were at its start, ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since day one,” Cooper said, illuminating how few weapons the Iranian regime still has at its disposal.

He continued, “Drone attacks have decreased by 83% since day one. Having said this, we remain vigilant. Our strikes against the Iranian Navy have intensified. You may have heard the President say, just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the moment. We’re now up over 30 ships.”

Most impressively of all, and perhaps explaining why Hegseth and Cooper were late starting the press conference, they had just received word of another victory: “And in just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier, and as we speak, it’s on fire,” Cooper confirmed.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

One step forward, Xi steps back.

Canada’s government is sending mixed signals on Iran just days after US-Israel strikes targeted the country’s military leadership. Prime Minister Mark Carney initially supported the mission to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has called for a diplomatic solution, and Defence Minister David McGuinty has urged for a ceasefire.

Former defence and foreign affairs minister Peter MacKay joins Marc Patrone to break down Canada’s shifting stance and its impact on the country’s relationship with the United States. He cautions that stopping now could let Iran’s leadership regroup and stresses the importance of clear, consistent messaging from Ottawa.

Somebody got a call from Party headquarters.
