War with Iran

[Anonymous]

There’s zero evidence they rescued anyone. The entire thing sounds like a set up ruse by Iranians using the pilot’s beacon.

So in 48 hours, we're going to be hearing about how the Iranians are begging for a deal and great progress has been made.

I rather hear that than civilian infrastructures being destroyed like hospitals, schools etc…

If Trump goes too far in bombing Iran, my fear is that China and Russia will intervene. Up to now I don't think any nation has stood up to our dear leader, but how long will they watch us punch Iran in the face. For the future of humanity, someone please 25A this maniac.

China? The same country that has massacred ethnic Uyghurs with zero complaints from the same morons now virtuously moaning about “poor Iran”?

And Russia? The same country who bombed Ukraine mercilessly?

Please. They’re not about to “intervene” on behalf of their terrorist friends in Iran.

Why do you keep repeating that Iran is a terrorist?

The Islamic Republic of Iran is absolutely a terrorist state that also sponsors terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and others. I'm sorry it distresses you to admit facts.

Okay, but what are we. Our government financially sponsored, provided weapons, and/or and trained the Contras, Taliban, Saddam Hussein’s attacks on Iran, KLA, ISIS, government coups around the world, IDF genocides, and more. Pot meets kettle when it comes to sponsoring military operations opposed to yours. I guess the USA and Iran have a lot in common.

Yes, SO much in common. /s I have to wonder if you even hear how ignorant you sound.

That’s what I am hearing.

Our willingness to rescue soldiers and airmen behind enemy lines is what distinguishes us from Russia, which sends more than a 1000 men to die each and every day in Ukraine. They don’t even pick up the corpses anymore. Trump’s war on Iran is breathtakingly stupid, but our military’s willingness to rescue their own is very commendable. It’s a shame the commander in chief is such a moron.

They are saying these were destroyed on the ground by US forces? The little birds are used by special forces. Two can be flown in in ready to fly configuration in one 130. In addition may have been some special forces casualties.

Looks like they flew the little birds in with 130s and at a minimum destroyed the helicopters and 130s after the operation. Must have evaced by a different means.

Here is one article on it. They are not tell a lot. Hearing a lot of different things right now.

Night Stalker AH-6 Little Bird Helicopters Destroyed At Forward Landing Site In Iran
At least one burned-out AH/MH-6 Little Bird can be seen in photos of the austere airfield that served as a hub for the rescue of the F-15E WSO.
New images have emerged that appear to show the destroyed special operations C-130s (MC-130Js Commando IIs) at the forward improvised airfield in Iran. The austere operating location acted as a hub (and forward arming and refueling point or FARP) for the rescue mission of the downed F-15E Weapon System Officer. You can read our latest coverage on the rescue here. It has been reported that the two C-130s were demolished in place as they were incapable of departing, with three more aircraft coming in and extracting the special operations force. Amongst this wreckage appears to be two burned-out wrecks of MH-6/AH-6 Little Birds of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, better known as the Night Stalkers.

Dam. You have to start questioning the military thinking behind this. The most likely outcome would have the pilot captured, held by the Iranians and eventually released. Add another 6(?) aircraft to the other 3(but possibly another 5 when including damaged) aircraft.

We will lose more aircraft in the war. If each rescue mission cost the US 8-12 aircraft it is not sustainable. I can not believe we did not lose US troops. We got very lucky. This will really incentivizes the Iranians to shoot down another aircraft and spring a trap on the rescue force.

They spent a lot of time, equipment, and money to rescue one person. That’s good for his family. Imagine the cost to the USA taxpayers to rescue dozens of soldiers and marines if Trump put boots on the ground.

WTF! Are we being lied to by the US? Did we lose that many planes?

We haven't lost a plane to enemy fire in MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND NOW WE HAVE LOST TWO -- and now maybe more.

I don't know a single Democrat on Twitter any longer. No one but bots and a few MAGA want to hang out with Elon.

I think this is bullshit ‘Hollywood’ spin and this was actually a failed attempted ground operation with 100+ special ops. Trump and Vance’s ‘Bay of Pigs’.

[Anonymous]

This ain’t adding up. In a few weeks maybe months we’ll learn everything they’re leaking about a “rescue” is 100% lies. And that’s why Trump was totally batshit unhinged on social media this Easter morning.

[Anonymous]

!!!!! If this is true, treason for all involved.

[Anonymous]

Even an original, arguably the first MAGA member, Ann Coulter, thinks the Trump admin is committing war crimes at this point. Wow.

[Anonymous]

Trump’s admin thinks war is WWE fake wrestling storylines and we’re all dumb cattle who believe anything.

[Anonymous]

OMG, the conspiracy theories being posted…
