US & Israel attack Iran

[Blue Mist]

Trump confirmed Iran launched 1000 drones at the USS Abraham Lincoln. He bragged that they shot down every one with missiles which is probably why it’s sailed away from Iran out of range because its defences are completely depleted. $5m for Iran to take a $14bn carrier out of the theatre of war.

I believe the USS Ford fire was a fire, but the fact it went on for 30 hours and has put the ship out of commission for 2 years just shows the limitation of these ships which the US seems to just build out of hubris and to spend money.

They lost 3 jets off the deck doing evasive manoeuvres last year. Cost circa $600 million. It was also leaked that the Navy gave serious doubts about its ability to perform in combat situations unrelated to the fire.

The other story with the USS Ford is that it was arson.
Apparently the crew have not had shore leave since they last set sail, 272 days ago. Its been at sea, sailing from one mission to another, delaying leave everytime and just after they were ordered to sail to Iran, a mysterious fire broke out.
It seems they’ve.now got 2 years shore leave.

Oil is the main worry now but fertiliser and other products that come through The Straight will be another huge issue sooner or later unfortunately.

Iran conflict: What could a global fertiliser shortage look like?

The closing of the Strait of Hormuz means a severe disruption to around a third of the world's fertiliser supply. This will have ripple effects around the world, making fertiliser more expensive and potentially impacting crop yields. What could a global shortage in fertiliser look like?

USS Ford had serious plumbing and sewage issues, it stayed out at sea far too long leading to poor morale and potential arson.

Not so sure on them been hit by drones, the way a carrier fleet works is the carrier is surrounded by other ships, for them to get to it, the drone wouldve had to pass by a dozen other ships, I’m not saying it couldn’t happen but more than likely it would be shot down or Iran would just try to hit an other ship, the report I saw said it could be disgruntled sailors who started the fire!

Missile attack.

The ship is in need of major repairs. Not the effect of a galley fire. Obviously the Americans will never admit it.

As the former head of the CIA has admitted where the truth is concerned Iran is more reliable than the US right now.

We'll stop helping them now, won't we? No, of course not.

Had that bullet's trajectory been 2-3inches to the right.

I’m struggling to see how acting on faulty intelligence can be characterised as anything other than a reckless gamble.

Ignoring correct intelligence is worse. Inventing false intelligence is worse still. (See, Blair A.)

 

[Vic]

or ask him about the Gerald Ford and what it's doing.

Like Trump, it's full of shit.

 

[daveiw01]

Saying “no way” and “Trump” in the same sentence isn’t something I’d do.

No one has any idea what the hell he might or might not do next.

Including Trump.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Including Trump.

Yes, we’ve established that :).

Just watching a report on the destruction of oil refining capability in the gulf.

The world economy is fucked.

We are currently 11 billion barrels a day short and it’s only going to get worse. Even if the war stops tomorrow and it won’t, it will take years to rebuild the lost capacity.

Trump needs to be removed from power as soon as possible so that the world can move forward.

And Israel needs to be put on a leash. Not sure how that happens.

People don't seem to realise it's all planned by the psychopathic lunatics who really run the world. That certainly isn't a fucking moron like Trump, he's just a puppet. Agenda 2030, net zero, you'll own nothing and be happy and when everything is unaffordable due to inflation, food, fuel and water rationed,fuel lockdowns, no foreign holidays, 15 minute cities etcetera people will realise too late the tinfoil hat brigade were actually right.
The elites, the politicians, the rich and famous? They'll all be okay because they've been preparing for this for decades, they'll still live an affluent lifestyle, their yachts will still sail.

You can find pictures of it in Crete now, there’s no sign of external impact damage, it looks like a fire broke out.

I don’t trust CENTCOM but also with the amount of leaks coming off that ship about the fire, how 600 of them are sleeping on tables and the floor, dozens with serious smoke inhalation, the doubts over its ability in combat etc. one of the several thousand people in the carrier group would have leaked it was a missile attack by now.

Right, no more using our bases, no more support. Fuck them off now Starmer. Get a bit of pride back.

 

[SWP's back]

How long will it be before this orange **** pulls out of NATO all together. A month or less at the most IMO.

He actually can’t do that unilaterally or I’m sure he would have done.

And sabotaged the toilets on the Gerald Ford?

 

[Elbow beards]

World's gonna grind to a halt if this isn't resolved soon.
Just remove the **** now.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Reckon the **** will be releasing the unredacted Epstein files soon, in order to distract from this fucking shitshow.

US farmers need fertiliser for wheat. They don't need it for soybean. Next year, a wheat shortage.
