Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

Don’t think Trumpf is that bothered, he treats them as necessary sacrifices. At best they do his dirty work, at worst they delay a game of golf. I doubt it will affect his decision to taco.

Utter garbage talk.
I think he refers to them as losers, and suckers.
Interesting article in the JP about US search and rescue capabilities aimed at downed pilots.

Since Vietnam, the US has successfully rescued thousands of downed aircrew members in hostile territory, including in Iraq and Bosnia, thanks to special helicopter models and pilot survival kits.

Another insightful comment from the forum's best friend.
Trumpf has often referred to servicemen as losers (McCain) been disrespectful at ceremonies marking the return of dead servicemen (wearing his golf jumper and jetting off to play golf), and in a recent interview with an NBC journalist the President insisted that the recent downing of U.S. aircraft would not impact negotiations with Iran: "No, not at all. No, it's war. We're in war, Garrett,"
Utter garbage indeed from your forever friend.
I think they are probably in survival mode but presumably have difficulty signalling their location in mountainous terrain.Interesting article in the JP about US search and rescue capabilities aimed at downed pilots.

So silly they already have one such pipeline, more will come.
Gulf states consider new oil pipelines to bypass Strait of Hormuz | The Jerusalem Post
The Financial Times reported that the Gulf states aim to create a new network of pipelines, roads, and railways to stop relying on the Strait of Hormuz.

The Gulf states are considering expanding their oil pipelines beyond the Strait of Hormuz in a bid to bypass dependence on the crucial Persian Gulf waterway for exports, The Financial Times reported on Thursday morning.
One of the main options examined reportedly includes a trade route that would connect the Arabian peninsula with the Mediterranean through the port of Haifa.
According to the report, Saudi Arabia has been the only Gulf state to maintain a steady flow of oil exports amid the war, mainly thanks to the East-West pipeline, which connects its oil fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu and bypasses the Strait.
“In hindsight, the East-West pipeline looks like a genius masterstroke,” a senior Gulf energy executive told FT.
The report mentions that the new projects being considered include not only a new pipeline or the expansion of current infrastructure, but rather the creation of a new network of pipelines, trains, and roads that would allow us to stop relying on the Strait of Hormuz.
Christopher Bush, the chief executive of the Lebanese construction company Cat Group, which was one of the main builders of the Saudi East-West pipeline, confirmed to FT that the company "had inquiries about various pipelines."
India-Saudi-Israel project takes force
The main project mentioned in the FT report is the US-led IMEC, which would connect India to the Mediterranean Sea via a network of roads, railways, and pipelines. The main challenge for this plan would be securing Saudi Arabia's agreement to include the port of Haifa on the route.Yossi Abu, the chief executive of Israeli company NewMed Energy, said that the pipes to the Mediterranean were needed for people "to control their own destinies, with their friends."
“You need oil pipelines, railway connectivity throughout the region, onshore, without giving others bottlenecks to choke us,” Abu told FT.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the only solution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis would be to reroute the pipelines to gain easier access to the Mediterranean.
"Long-term solutions include rerouting energy pipelines westward, across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and Mediterranean, bypassing Iran's geographic choke point," Netanyahu explained in an interview with conservative US media outlet Newsmax.
Netanyahu noted that while a military solution might offer short-term stability, a deal that eliminates the strategic importance of the Strait might be the best route in the long term.

Yep, utter trash from you as normal..
I’m surprised you believed Irann when they announced they had downed the plane. Hesgeth only recently said he had total control of the airspace 24/7.
I did read that support the the IRGC is so low (5%) that there is a good chance that if discovered by 'locals' he would be offered help.
