The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread

Superpower vs superpower, I’m curious if the aircraft carrier is completely obsolete.

What do you do if someone like China sends out a swarm of drones?

Funny, just had the thought this morning that I know drones exist, but these are the early days of drone-based warfighting still.

EMP weapons?

Now they tell me. I just booked our flights for spring break.

[Mik]

Bagh it, Dhad.

Jon, where are you taking your kid for Spring Break? (And why are you on your kid's spring break?)

[jon-nyc]

I’m not. I took him out west for February break (NY schools have two separate week long breaks in the spring semester)

His mom is taking him to visit Chicago, Northwestern, Michigan, and Toronto.

I’ll be in Thailand with my darling bride.

Wait, bride? I totally missed something, here…

[Mik]

Wow. You are behind.

[89th]

I missed you getting married too. What’s his name?

[jon-nyc]

Pete.

[Mik]

Pete. Jeezel Pete.

The torpedoing of the Iranian ship might get messy. Allegedly it was invited to the waters off the coast of India along with other countries to participate in international exercises, had no ammunition on board, and was still blown out of the water by the US Navy. We'll see...

[Mik]

We're destroying their navy. It was a navy ship. I have no problem with sinking it, but I thought the victory lap was in exceptionally poor taste, even for this bunch.

[AndyD]

Just copying what Iranian leaders have said for 40 years?

[89th]

We haven't declared war in 81 years. Why start now?

Don't tell that to Veterans of non-wars Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Vietnam...

[Axtremus]

Getting harder to tell if that should have been in the memes thread.

[jon-nyc]

@89th Right but even the war powers act has been violated here.
