7 YEARS ahead of schedule.

Now slap a couple of those systems with a really deep magazine, and a water cooling system and load it onto the Zumwalt.

Quite a response for a drunk woman

That was an expensive drunk woman. Wonder what the cost of scrambling a pair of Typhoons and a tanker is? Just the gas alone would be expensive...

RAF Quick reaction Typhoons have scrambled and are ciricling London. Whatever is happening was urgent enough for them to go supersonic.

I just saw the same thing from ABC News.  Seems Trump reversed course against the advice of Bolton and Pompeo.  

Trump vs Repub. Hawks... Hmmm.

" You can't reliably get them before they fire either, as iraqi scuds proved - and scuds are larger than ASMs). For reference  the 1979 oil crisis only involved a 4% drop in oil production, and lead to a doubling of the price of oil."

 

 

Iran has invested pretty heavily in disguising ASM launchers as standard shipping containers too, making the issue even trickier.

Trump offered Iran a way out without Iranian's dying but they don't seem interested.

 

 

I don't know that the US has the political willpower to deal with an extended conflict with Iran.  I would also expect a Trump government to have significant difficulty in building an international coalition to fight with Iran. He's pissed off a lot of allies. And on a personal level, I wouldn't waste a single American/Canadian/British life for anything to do with the middle east. Let the shithole rot.

An accomplice who was originally arrested while wearing a lion onesie has skipped bail and there’s a warrant for his arrest.

 

@Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect

20 hours of community service? WTF? Should get at least a few months in jail for that shit.

Revenge for debunking India's lies during their ass beating by Pakistan.

That's a whole lot of bullshit. Intelcrab and ELINTNews are both pretty awesome and mostly non-partisan accounts.

Now, during that India/Pakistan bullshit, they were calling out obvious fake bullshit being posted by a few Indian defense accounts.

Twtter suspending OS Intel accounts dedicated to breaking military news.

I follow ELINT News and they have provided content for here and on Discord discussion. ELINT news got a wierd sort of official email from Twitter in regards to their tweets violating Indian law about 24 hours before they went down.
