re: Q for MAGA folks that feel we had to go to war with Iran before they nuked Baton Rouge
Posted by LSU2a on 9/21/26 at 4:43 pm to Duck Nation
1. Iran was receiving increased ballistic missile and drone development aid from China and Russia.
2. In part because of the aid from China and Russia the production rate and sophistication of Iran’s ballistic missiles and drones was increasing exponentially.
3. The rate of drone and missile production in Iran was quickly outpacing the production and deployment of interceptor systems by both the US and Israel.
4. Iran’s strategy for acquiring nuclear weapons was to appease the US on nuclear development while producing an arsenal that would have eventually made a military strike of Iran’s nuclear program too risky.
Conclusion: the window for stopping Iran’s nuclear development was quickly closing and Trump was simply following his promise to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Caste are for shitholes like India. In America, your real value is in your contribution to society. If your only contribution is spending money from a trust fund you might as well be a welfare leech.

This. Putting data centers in space solves the power generation, water, and NIMBY issues that terrestrial data centers cause. Satellites in sun-synchronous orbit solve these issues.
SpaceX will essentially have a monopoly on space based data processing making them the current day equivalent of the Dutch East India Company but on an exponentially larger scale.

Yep, got my DJI up the FAA limit and witnessed the first team offense practicing the toss-dive over and over again.

These reports are dangerous because they could increase the chance of China and/or Russia making a bold military move based on questionable intel. Most major wars are the consequence of miscalculations.

1. Today’s markets and trade is not that simple.
2. It’s possible for those that trade to benefit even when their country does not.
3. The welfare of a country does not always align with the interest of those trading in a market. Tariffs can serve to protect critical domestic industry.

The obsession with hypersonic missiles has confused too many. The recent advancements made by China, Russia, and now the US referred to “hypersonics” is a reference to the capability of a missile to maneuver while traveling hypersonic, not merely travel at hypersonic speeds. Cold war ballistic missiles were capable of traveling at hypersonic speeds but only in a precalculated ballistic trajectory that could be intercepted due to it having a calculable path. Previously it was not possible to create a missile that both has a speed of mach 5+ and travels in an unpredictable variable trajectory while still being able to hit a precise target. What Turkey has produced is a ballistic missile similar to was used during the cold war without meaningful maneuverability.

Iran has hundreds to thousands of anti ship missiles still hidden in range of the Strait. There is a decent chance that if we attempted to send say a carrier group or similar amount of destroyers that they could deplete the interceptors on board and disable or sink several of our ships. This is why we have avoided sending ships past the Gulf of Oman into the strait.

Congress might determine the treaty contract, but the President enforces it. If Trump says we will not meet article 5 obligations anymore they are screwed for as long as he is President.

Destroying Iran’s oil infrastructure would be a foolish move that would ensure a long term conflict. It would be better to either seize Kharg Island to control the “spigot” or damage it enough to stop the flow but make it fixable within say a few months. If you leave nothing for them post-war then they have no incentive to give in to our demands. Keep your leverage.

We are clearly stalling to give the Ford carrier group time to setup.

Nuss will be an NFL starter for one day thanks to the Make A Wish foundation after Brian Kelly diagnosis him with ab cancer.
This moron probably think FEDEX is a government entity.

I think we beat SCar and Vandy but the Aggies are concerning. If we beat Texas A&M it’ll be one of those magical close games in Death Valley.
