How many Americans were wounded/killed in this operation, I wonder? We’ll probably never know but some of that wreckage is pretty bleak

On a Friday evening…

NYT reaches new levels of both-sides reporting

Title has been edited but the article is still up

This is super cool, Aztec culture is very underused in gaming and I’m always excited to play a new city builder

Israel is warning Christian and Druze communities in southern Lebanon not to harbor Shiite Muslims, apparently confirming their intent to ethnically cleanse the area

They could have the entire US budget and it wouldn’t bring the rare earth minerals back

thank you to our allies Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, etc
literal next sentence: Gas prices are high to due to Iran’s deranged attacks on neutral nations

Looking at the missile coming in as it doesn’t move but gets brighter and brighter

State Sec. Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.”

You ever seen your brother drunk and happy one moment and literally a pile of brains and blood splatter on the wall the next? You ever picked your brothers skull fragments out of drywall?

Why the fuck are you defending DUIs then???

Come on, a DUI is a totally different deal than a “substance abuse issue.” This guy didn’t get put away for drug possession, he did for getting wasted and driving a car. And prison time usually means multiple offenses or that someone was injured/killed. Combined with the fact that he’s choosing to enlist now, for the joy of killing Iranians and defending Israel, and I really doubt he’s secretly a good guy that OP is slandering for no reason.

Americans when they realize they’re about to be posted to /r/combatfootage:

Not too much has changed in the last week or so, but for once it’s a good thing - the US seems unable to stop Iran’s steady bombardment of it’s bases. The next “big news” will probably have to wait until the Marines arrive

Epic Fury (I don’t need to repeat the obvious substitutions for ‘Fury’ one hears)

Funny, I usually hear the other word being substituted

Government run by actual children

TWO MORE WEEKS

I don’t see it, at least not a full scale invasion. It’s not like a lot of other questionable moves the US has made lately in that there’s no real path to victory. Say they manage to occupy some random island in the strait, then what? The rest of it is still blockaded, gas prices stay high, and they haven’t accomplished anything.

We might see special forces blow up some stuff just so Trump can say that there were actually boots on the ground, but I don’t think it’ll go further than that. Honestly, I don’t see how this ends other than a US withdrawal or nukes.

China and Vietnam had essentially a gentleman’s agreement not to use aircraft, to avoid escalating the scale of the conflict.
