Local boomer, watch for EAM for orders to move to the Strait of Hormuz. Possible DefCon 2.

Right. For a smart guy, you’re acting an awful lot like a chicken hawk.

I love Tucker but I’ve noticed he’s vociferously against war. Maybe his son is at risk of going? But we don’t have a draft anymore so it would be his kid’s choice to go. He needs to chill out.

Why, because I don’t think we should tolerate being shot at? You have something to say, say it Gunny.

Yeah, especially when the Ayatollah referenced the US downing of the Iranian passenger jet just yesterday.

They probably shot it down. Relying on that Russian Radar can be tricky ask the (checks notes) Ukrainians.

They can hit 17 different targets at the Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia with pinpoint accuracy.

That was with GPS guided cruise missile, no warning, no jamming on the part of the Saudis. We can see the launches and have countermeasures to jam guidance systems.

I said it. You’ve got no skin in the game and you’re gonna armchair this thing, getting folks all riled up for nothing. It was an intentional miss to allow the Iranian leadership to look tough, to talk tough (kinda like what your doing)...chest thumping. Your glory days have passed my man. Said it.

"Tucker makes me sick to my stomach"

Me, too.

I've been a great fan of his......but when he goes Left just when the President, the country ( and I ) need his supporting voice in the media....it's NOT THERE. This has really given me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Libertarians are worthless. All they ever accomplish is screwing up elections and futilely howling in the political winds.

I don't mean to make light of this since lives are on the line.

Yesterday some Iranian cleric said Iran could not retaliate since American heroes are Spiderman and Spongebob.

Which is kind of funny, since Iran's incompetence is straight out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Just watched the video. It does resemble a shoot down and not a glitch.
