Iran badly miscalculated. Now it’s paying the price.

The biggest losers are Russia and China. Israel and the U.S. has shown to the world how useless their military equipment is.

[metmom]

We flew 7 bombers 18 hours undetected by Russian and China. Yes, they are freaking out.

Excellent!!!

[DiogenesLamp]

Obama has to be weeping profusely... Everything that the Kenyan communist stood for has been largely undone...

That stupid corrupt bitch should never have been allowed to run for president. He's not even an American!

He is not qualified to run for the Presidency, but a lot of shitty people ignored this requirement to put that worthless bum into office.

Max Boob.

Guess I’ll move along.

[ifinnegan]

Nice comment. Well done.

[piasa]

That bombing wasn’t by the government.

[JerseyDvl]

I think of that several times a day and smile. The destruction of Israel was supposed to be Obama’s legacy.
Now, that legacy is buried under a mountain.

[BenLurkin]

There was zero chance any Democrat administration would do anything to stop them, so it doesn’t seem like that big of a gamble odds-wise.

I am hearing reports that Iran's Parliament voted to close the Straits of Hormuz, but this angered the Chinese government and they told Iran they'd better not do it.

[IAGeezer912]

We need to start charging Israel bigly for allowing them to use the US Military as an instrument of their foreign policy.
#############
Yeah. The way that works is we give them the money and they give it back to compensate us for the expenses, minus 10%.

Convince me I am wrong.

[GOPJ]

If Iran had gotten ‘the bomb’ we would be living in fear of their insane Mullahs -just like Israel and other countries in that region. Trump stopped Iran for ALL of us - not just Israel.

“Everything that the Kenyan communist stood for has been largely undone...”

Obamacare still stands and has almost destroyed the U.S. healthcare system. Healthcare prices have skyrocketed since the “Affordable Care Act” was passed. Independent doctors have retired or sold out to big hospital chains which are practicing assembly line medicine. Big pharma and big insurance are gouging the consumer.

[SuperLuminal]

Yes!😎
I need to rephrase that term “everything”...

[Bobbyvotes]

It was white guilt over past slavery.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Serves him right for putting his dirty feet on the Oval Office furniture.

Hypothetically, how do we know they didn’t detect them? Maybe they did, but they decided to keep it secret rather than, say, warn Iran. Even if they did detect them, they might lie and say they didn’t and were surprised.

We would have detected whatever they detected us with.

We would have detected the change in their radiation pattern as they narrowed their coverage in on our aircraft.

I'm not saying they didn't do as you suggest (although it's far-fetched). I'm saying if they did do it, we know they did it.

[bray]

And they spent the cash!

[No name given]

That’s right.

the crew of a stealth bomber (like the B-2 Spirit) can know if they’ve been detected—but not always directly or in real time. Here’s how it works:

✅ How They Might Know:
1. Radar Warning Receivers (RWR):
• The aircraft is equipped with systems that detect radar signals aimed at them.
• If a radar system locks onto or tracks the bomber, the crew will see alerts in the cockpit.
2. Electronic Support Measures (ESM):
• These detect and analyze electromagnetic emissions from enemy radars.
• If certain types of radar are detected (like fire control radar), it may indicate they’ve been seen.
3. Mission Intelligence Feeds:
• The aircraft may receive real-time intelligence from satellites, AWACS, or other assets.
• If external sources detect enemy radar locking on, the bomber crew may be alerted.
