Thats cheap compared to what US forks over to Israel.
Thats cheap compared to what US forks over to Israel.
Asling alot of two sailing ships and a horse drawn cannon.Well, damned if you do &/or still attacked by Iranian proxy Hezbollah if you don’t.
Britain “could” just roll up in the Mediterranean and retaliate against Hezbollah independent of either Israel orAmericaTrump, forging its own path with a clear conscience that it stood by its own morals and ethics and legal principles, but still rolled in to take names and kick ass when it had sand kicked in its face. FAFO sorta thing.
(I’ve heard rumours that Britain has a navy, and that Hezbollah embedded in Lebanon is a country that borders on….a sea…see?)

Right now the difficulty lies in keeping the planes from being moving targets. There is already a sizable number of people that would rather buy Grippons than F35s. Right or wrong, they will use this to further their cause.Well, considering many of the bombers are basing out of Islamic countries, I guess they could hold a few bombs back when they hit Iran and bomb their own bases on the way back.

Smart of Spain to wash their hands of this fiasco.(YouTube & U.S. will 'cut off all trade with Spain,' Trump says)

Spain has said the US should be mindful of international law and bilateral trade agreements with the European Union, after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with the country for refusing to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.
“We have the necessary resources to contain the possible impact of the trade embargo by the US,” the Spanish government said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The US must comply with international law and bilateral EU-US trade agreements,” it added. This should almost go in the Tariffs thread ‘cuz I can almost smell those tariffs coming.
“Spain actually said that we can't use their bases, and that's all right,” Trump said. “We could use their base if we want — we could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it, but we don't have to. But they were unfriendly, and so I told them, we don't want to.” Sounds like Spain might become an Honourary member of the Western Hemisphere.

Trump Threatens to Cut Off Trade With Spain Over Iran — NOTUS

Smart of Spain to wash their hands of this fiasco.
France too, & now France is sending an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz to try to keep trade goods flowing.Sounds like Spain might become an Honourary member of the Western Hemisphere.
On Tuesday Trump said the US navy could begin escorting oil tankers through the strait of Hormuz “if necessary”. (???)The Gulf state of Qatar said its air force shot down two Iranian Sukhoi Su-24 bombers, and QatarEnergy said it would stop producing liquefied natural gas indefinitely, taking one of the world’s top suppliers off the market.
Trump has also instructed a federal agency to provide “political risk insurance and guarantees for ALL Maritime Trade” through the Gulf. “No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the World,” he said. (???)European natural gas prices surged by 40% in response, while several ships have been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil traded passes and where Iran has threatened attacks.
They'll use the shootdown of three F-15s to bolster the case for Gripens over F-35s?Right now the difficulty lies in keeping the planes from being moving targets. There is already a sizable number of people that would rather buy Grippons than F35s. Right or wrong, they will use this to further their cause.

Did the mass shooting outside a bar in Austin, Texas on Sunday have ties to the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into it, people familiar with the investigation told Bloomberg.
Three people were killed and 14 were wounded after a gunman opened fire early Sunday in Austin’s downtown entertainment district.
Police shot and killed the suspect after a confrontation near the scene, authorities said.
The shooting details
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the shooting began at 1:58 a.m. when a large SUV circled the block several times near Buford’s bar. The SUV driver rolled down his window and opened fire with a pistol at patrons on the bar’s patio and sidewalk.
Authorities said the suspect then drove west, parked and exited the vehicle with a rifle and continued to shoot at people walking nearby. Police officers, who were already in the area as part of routine patrols, responded within 55 seconds and found the shooter at an intersection, where they shot him.

Quran found in vehicle
A Quran was reportedly found in the suspect’s vehicle and he was wearing a hoodie bearing the words “Property of Allah” on it.
Alex Dorne, acting special agent from the FBI’s San Antonio field office, said investigators found “indicators on the subject and in his vehicle” pointing to a “potential nexus to terrorism,” per Bloomberg. Dorne said it was too early to determine a motive.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved in the investigation.
Originally from Senegal
The gunman has been identified as 52-year-old Ndiaga Diagne, who has originally from Senegal and has been in the U.S. since 2000.
Diagne previously lived in New York and was a naturalized U.S. citizen, Bloomberg reported. The suspect reportedly had a documented history of mental illness.
Evidence and background information are being investigated as authorities work to determine whether the shooting attack was ideologically motivated.
Paramedics blocked by Waymo vehicle
Emergency personnel rushing to the scene of the mass shooting on Sunday reportedly got blocked by a Waymo vehicle, which prevented them from responding to the scene faster.
According to news outlet KXAN-TV, a man named Matthew Turnage ordered a Waymo using his Uber app at about 2 a.m. after leaving a club near Buford’s bar — the site of the mass shooting.
The Waymo was en route to pick up the man and his friends when the self-driving taxi reportedly stopped in the middle of the street, blocking an ambulance from getting to the shooting site to help the victims.
After several minutes, the ambulance backs up and drives away to find another way to the shooting site. Despite this, police said paramedics still responded fast to the site, arriving within a minute.

A driverless car blocked first responders from rushing to attend to victims involved in the Austin terror attack that left three dead and 14 others injured, the Daily Mail reported.
Online footage captured the moment a Waymo robotaxi stalled in the middle of the street while an ambulance tried to speed over to Buford’s bar after shots rang out around 2 a.m. Sunday.
The car was called to pick up Matthew Turnage, who recorded the clip and his friends after a night out, he said.
“We left a club at 2 a.m. and were walking to get a ride home. We just so happened to get a Waymo car from Uber and when we found the car, it was trying to pick us up but got stuck in the middle of the street and blocked emergency vehicles for a couple of minutes,” Turnage, who recorded the clip, told KXAN.
Video footage
People are heard yelling at the driverless vehicle to get out of the way of the ambulance as it moved back and forth. A police officer got into the vehicle while the ambulance found another way to get to the scene.
Paramedics made it to the scene in under a minute after the gunman, Ndiaga Diagne, 53, opened fire outside the packed bar and killed Ryder Harrington, 19, Savitha Shan, 24, and another unidentified victim with a handgun and a rifle until police shot him dead. TMZ reported.
Consequences for Waymo
After the shooting, Rob Lukritz, the chief of Austin Travis EMS, said the incident with the Waymo car did not slow down response to the scene.
“In the grand scheme of the impact on the overall incident we don’t believe it had any impact on patient outcomes,” Lukritz said. “I will say we’re already in touch with Waymo to give them our concerns and to work with them to address this moving forward.”
The autonomous cars first came to Austin in 2024 to provide another option to get around other than rideshares and public transportation. Waymo fleets are also located in other U.S. cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, and the Metro Phoenix area.

But you laughed when I said Iran was happy about the 12 Day War and that Israel lost because they (Iran) could defeat THAAD, Patriot, Aegis and Golden Shower and Israel WILL pull false flags like they got caught attempting 2 days ago.Or Iran, who somehow managed to outthink that $2 trillion defence dome thing?

I didn’t change my mind. I’m not swimming in the whole thing, & I watched your video recently from that Asian AI guy. It was interesting and it made sense.But you laughed when I said Iran was happy about the 12 Day War and that Israel lost because they (Iran) could defeat THAAD, Patriot, Aegis and Golden Shower and Israel WILL pull false flags like they got caught attempting 2 days ago.
