rank | Sat Mar 14 02:45:05 "Just imagine a million Iranians storming our positions without any air cover. Goodness, what a massacre that would be—I almost feel sorry for them!" Just imagine US Marines trying to secure an Iranian island with Iran raining hundreds of short range missiles and drones on their heads. It's simply not happening. The first clue that it's not happening is the US Navy keeping its ships out of the strait. If our ships aren't safe 15 miles off Iran's coast, then our Marines sure as hell wouldn't be safe on their coast. - |

The planes, which were hit during an Iranian missile strike on the Saudi base in recent days, were damaged but not fully destroyed and are being repaired, the Journal said, adding that no one was killed in the strikes. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. https://ww...arabia-wsj-reports-2026-03-13/ |

rank | Sat Mar 14 04:02:45 Iran cannot guide rockets or drones against mobile targets in a modern electronic battlefield. That's why you see them only aiming at bases, oil refineries, Dubai's skyscrapers, etc. there might be a moment of minor danger as they entrench, while they are more static but before the fortifications are complete. The real danger to the Marines are on the way in. Once they hold kharg island it's over. Hell that island isn't much further from our major logistics bases than it is from irans. An f16 can get there in 5 minutes, and a reaper can loiter for a day with a combat load. But ya there won't be a landing until the nearby coast is well suppressed. Can't have the big ships getting hit or mined. Besides this is the backup plan. If we can't effect regime change in the next few months, seize the key oil island. Could also be bait. If Iran moves up arty to try shell the islands from land, well then we know where it is, that's it's not a decoy, and buttfuck it. Easy way to get Iranian heavies on the move. Out and exposed. |

Sam Adams
rank | Sat Mar 14 05:36:33 I meant the sort of kamikaze drones that can hit Marines. Those need positive control. Which Iran won't have offshore. |

rank | Sat Mar 14 08:10:02 Your evacuated bases are being destroyed piecemeal. That feels like something is wrong. Your logistics are literally falling out of the sky. That feels like something is wrong. Your fleets are on vacation in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. That feels like something is wrong. Oil has stabilized above 100 dollars a barrel. That feels like something is wrong. Your VP retains his distance from the whole concept. You know, the dude with actual military experience. That feels like something is wrong. You cannot match Russian combat intensity in Ukraine over Iran due to stand-off issues and critical support getting lost. That feels like something is wrong. Sammy: "duh, its 8-d chess. Everything is going according to plan because this was totally not an attack made on a hunch by Trump" Rofl. Stop drinking the cool-aid buddy. It makes you stupid. |

They are being sent from Japan to the Indian Ocean in the hopes that the Iranians will take measures that make them more vulnerable to attrition. |

rank | Sat Mar 14 08:36:35 Misplaced Ad homs are the only thing you got sammy. I am not a party to the conflicts and do not support Russia at all in Ukraine. I am pro-facts. Attacking Iran was a horrible mistake. We learned in Ukraine that it takes a hell of a lot of firepower to dislodge military forces. You cannot bring that combat power to bear for reasons given. You, Israel, and Iran are three effiminate men flapping away at each other at the furthest extent of your reach. And rofl at the Tripoli. It does not have a landing dock. It is just a mini aircraft carrier. A mistake as the later ships of that class will revert back to having a landing dock for amphibious operations. |

rank | Sat Mar 14 09:49:57 The US has moved some THAAD systems away from South Korea. The US mafia is unable to defend the Arab dictatorships, despite promising them protection. And now they are unable to defend South Korea, despite promising them protection. And they are only barely able to defend Israel. The US shouldn’t have started this. Now they have been exposed as a paper tiger. |
