“”1,000 times greater,” General Salami said that this is completely unfathomable.”
Let’s check the math.
Suppose Iran fired 100 tons of net explosive weight, across several hundred of their larger rockets. Then the USA would retaliate with 100 KILOtons of net explosive weight equivalent.
One kiloton back, for every ton Iran launches.
Actually, larger increments might be more convenient for the way our nuclear stockpile is configured, so lets just say one megaton for every ton Iran launches (a million times greater). That way we can service more targets.
Just 100, or 300 of our older, outdated warheads, would help rotate our stocks marginally - don’t want them getting too outdated.
We could rename the R9X (“Flying Ginsu”) bomb the “Salami Slicer”.
Those poppy fields must have been enhanced. That fool is smoking some great shit.
Perhaps Soros isn’t the only one funding Antifa and BLM. Perhaps the Iranians are also funding them. They all want the same thing; the fall of the United States. If you were Iran, and you had $1.5billion in U.S. dollars, how would you spend it defeating the U.S.A.? Not militarily, but by funding entrenched allies with the same goal.

“Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb Iran!
Who did that intel come from, Hossein? John Kerry?
Sounds like the general is the next contestant to face the Hellfire R9X “Flying Ginsu” missile.
“When was the last time we got a new M-1 tank?”
Pretty recently:

The Army is also working on a new paint to replace the old CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating). The new paint not only is chemical resistant, but it lowers the thermal signature of the tank.
They’ve already started development of the Abrams SEPv4 Wich will include improved sights and cannon to allow an increase in engagement ranges.
Good question - and yes they have. It’s a new vehicle that’s armored by design, based off of the MATV MRAP, so yes it will have a more powerful engine and transmission. I’ve seen HMMWVs with commo shelters or those MI secret squirrel shelters blow out a lot of transmissions going up hills, since the vehicle wasn’t even designed for the armor weight, much less the weight of the shelter.
