Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[IT Minion]

It's war, it doesn't matter where you are. If you're in military uniform you are a valid target.

 

[JohnD]

I bet he won't say that when the first American ship goes down.

 

[motorbiking]

He’s got what 80bn of naval assets in the region. The super carriers are hard to sink, but probably not that hard to hit if you overwhelm the CIWS.

"Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said the American attack represented "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two".


Heggy is more ignorant than a "defence secretary" should be.

 

[motorbiking]

Didn’t some ships get sunk in the Falklands. ?

Strange then how the US was complaining about Iran attacking it's bases across the Middle East

Yep, the thicko forgets the Belgrano

 

[MNW67]

Israel and USA have different war aims.

"Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said the American attack represented "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two".

Whether or not he's correct, it's such a pathetic thing to boast about.

 

[ellal]

Israel and USA have different war aims.

But their leaders have the same aim...

Keeping themselves out of the courtroom!

 

[Vinty]

Without their navy America wouldn't be able to project power anywhere in the world.
These big supercarriers are loaded with 1000's of tons of explosives and aviation fuel, if they are attacked with missiles they have to take down every one, if one of those missiles that are designed for deep penetration of a ships armour manages to get through and hits inflammable or explosive ordinance, it will make an awfully loud bang.

Hopefully that won't happen but they should be very careful.

Dunno but maybe they put them in a tin and replace the lid after that have taken one out

Spanish PM did not mince his words...

Clearly not afraid to challenge the US president further, he said governments were meant to improve people's lives and provide solutions to problems, not make them worse, adding: "It is unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling their duties try to cover up their failure with the smoke of war."

Ouch!

Yep we sunk (uK) the general Belgrano during the Falklands spat

Spain don’t amount to a bag of beans

Hopeless mob who spend there past time torturing animals in a stadiums for entertainment

UK should station missiles on the Spanish Gibraltar border aimed at Spain
