    Approximately 45% of the available combat ready aircraft are in position at various air bases, which include carriers. One does not deploy and concentrate air assets like that unless you want the shit to hit the fan. Wasting billions for nothing.

      This is Trump’s MO, I think he was hoping for a lot more coverage from the media on this to drown out the Epstein stuff. I guess he thinks if he does order a strike, it will help take the pedo-heat off him, but it’d be the most foolish decision he’s ever made, Iran are not to be fucked with militarily.

        Exactly, it feels like a distraction tactic, but any military move against Iran would be insanely risky. Definitely not a smart play.👌

        Indeed, another distraction. I’m going to laugh if the EU NATO members tells the USA our airspace is off limits.
