Apparently 6 Massive Ordinance Penetrator bombs were dropped on Fordow from USAF B-2 bombers. Isfahan and Natanz targeted with Tomahawk cruise missiles from submarines.

We’ll see if this is just bluster.

lol.

Magatrie Taylor Green is sad.

Back to the drawing board, apparently 6 15-ton GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrators only damaged the front door and the mailbox.

It’ll buff right out.

Yeah, I would not listen too closely to that noise, but my greatest objection was the uncertainty of success.

For the TV-less among us, the 10pm address will be broadcast by the White House here:

Congratulations USA. Someone needed to do this.

How about the Trump admin managing not to leak any details of this op before it happened. I'm proud of them.

[jon-nyc]

@Horace This is the first time, and quite possibly the last, that I was proud of Donald Trump. This needed to be done.

[taiwan_girl]

Agree with you guys above.

Answer: On the phone with Moscow awaiting talking points.

We also witnessed some actual principles from some in the MAGA contingent, who are genuinely America-first, for better or worse.

Wow… Left leaning board members are all like “HUZZAH!” And right leaning members are apprehensive at best and outright against at worst…

There are potential positives. I don’t think China will move on Taiwan anytime soon.

Absolutely. It looks like it was very well done. I’m not sure though how they can know the degree of success.

[jon-nyc]

Obviously we don't know what will happen. A dirty bomb going off in Times Square tomorrow is not out of the realm of possibility. But I think the regime wants to survive, so I doubt anything that tragic will occur.

But we'll see. I remember thinking when it became obvious the GWB was going to restart war with Iraq, asking the question 'AND THEN WHAT???" And it's a fair question today.
