If they were smart they would sneak out of the country now with truckloads of cash. They would certainly be allowed to go.
They could never *sink* a carrier. They'd be lucky do damage it at all.

The other side of the Maduro raid was just a straight up flex.
"Sure, we could have easily just killed him surgically with an R9X flying Ginsu blade, that's easy. We went the hard route and took him alive".
The sheer level of of badassery that raid demonstrated had to have snapped shut sphincters across the whole 2nd and 3rd world.
Imagine Putin adjusting his itinerary to avoid anywhere within 100 miles of a border.

It didn't go well for them in the 1980s, and the disparity is a *lot* more extreme now.

I dont think Trump is going to pull the trigger . He is a master at applying pressure , and brinkmanship He understands if he can apply enough pressure for a along enough period of time, Iran will crack , plus the implications of drawing in the Russians, Chineese, and the turks. then you have high oil prices which benefit the Russians The mid terms comming up. Looks to me like he is playing them

Afghanistan should do ok in that conflict, what with all the military equip Brandon gifted them after we kicked their asses with it.
Israel just wiped out Hezbollah's entire missile command structure in one night 8 senior Hezbollah commanders, gone. The entire missile array leadership eliminated.
Witkoff warns Iran is ‘a week away’ from 'bomb-making material' as Trump weighs action
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff reveals Trump's "zero enrichment" red line violated as Iran nuclear program advances despite mounting U.S. pressure in region.

Well shit... 1 week away...for real this time....well I guess we have no choice, have to stop them ASAP.
This story being sent out is clearly setting the table to control the narrative that we will have to do something quickly and our hand is being forced.
One week away? I thought our bombing raid a few months ago knocked their program out for good.Witkoff warns Iran is ‘a week away’ from 'bomb-making material' as Trump weighs action

If we go through with it, I don't think it will go as neat and clean as they expect. I would be glad to be proven wrong on this.

They have been one week away since 91. WTF give it a rest.
With all the military assets being transferred to the region it seems likely we are going to start bombing soon. Either that or this is the biggest head fake in recent history. If the Iranians call his bluff it will only embolden them, so my guess is Trump is not bluffing.

Our military has been on a roll of late! My biggest fear for them is that they get smug, a man is most vulnerable after great success. Stay hungry!!

Perhaps we could get a piece of paper that states Iran stops nuke military and never wait, we have many worthless papers that no one is ever held to.
Think with US in rag land again big time, the euroarmy protecting Greenland, U.S. in China sea/japs, south America, etc, we have the map pretty well covered.
If things touch off every enemy is well within our reach; hopefully a sub is off the coast of Washington DC, we have enemies there too.

I almost am for regime change in Iran. The mullahs took what was once an advanced, westernized country and turned it into a third world theocratic shithole in short order. The economy is collapsing. Food is expensive and hard to come by. Jobs and investment are nonexistent. The young people that got university degrees can't find work. They want change and want the current regime out. I would love nothing more than to help them out and set them on a better path.
The problem is unexpected consequences. I naively thought we could do the same in Iraq and Afghanistan 25 years ago. But how much misery and death both to ourselves and to the people of those countries happened in the intervening years. The Taliban is back in power in Afghanistan and the conditions are probably worse than they've ever been for the people. Iraq sounds like it's a little better today than it was years ago but at what cost? Saddam was a piece of human filth who deserved to be deposed but not at the expense that we paid.
I fear the same will happen in Iran. Sectarian violence will fill the power vacuum and we'll get caught in the middle again.
Looks like they're going to make the case for why we "have no choice" but to act expeditiously.

There are a dozen groups of miscreants over there, and they all have similar names. Makes it confusing.
Was there a ceasefire with Hezzbollah ? Or was that Hamas, or the Houthies ?

The ceasefire was with Hamas. Hezzbolah is, I believe, a Lebanon based Iranian puppet terrorist group
