Need sober analysis here. Is this real? Is that military radar or something else?
I was offline for a few days.
Another war!
Ok, it is not like I'm at all surprised but god damn it!
For me personally the entertainment factor is watching all the TV talking heads trying to make Trump look smart. or correct even.
There is a saying in my country, "you spit in their face and they will tell you it is raining"
Those people made that their Credo

Some claim it's a satellite communications dish, which sometimes too get the protective golf ball, if the local environment is not friendly enough. But in that case, it's another piece of expensive equipment that got a bad case of Shaheed. Some preliminary analysis was that while the heavier anti-missile gear was really good against the traditional ballistic missiles, they were nigh useless against the Shaheed swarm.
And on that fun note, the US also announced that they used their own version of the Shaheed against Iran ...

Gotta hate it when a country that overemphasizes religion and routinely kills thousands of civilians messes the overall region while pursuing an illegal nuclear weapons programme.

Well, Iran's confirmed Khamenei as officially dead, with much rejoicing from Iran's citizens at being rid of him. Good riddance to the bastard, and I hope he fries wherever he ends up. (Even if acknowledging the Orange Overlord actually did some nominal good for once disgusts me.)

As if it'd change anything. The guy was the figurehead for a relatively functional State. Killing its current leader doesn't really threaten a State.

Trump didn't do anything good.
Khamenei will be replaced, his death changes nothing to the current political apparatus which is way stronger than you'd think. It won't overthrow the political structures in place.
This war will only lead to more regional distress. Nothing more.

So it's all your fault, Matthew!
Warned you, the god-emperor did! Heed him you did not!
Truth be told, this would probably be happening much the same whoever was in the Oval Office.
Anyone for a quick brainstorm on how to get people out there that I know of, and could mention too if I wanted to, to understand that piece of wisdom?
Because in their little minds, every single country out there is a one-man-band with one person responsible for everything.
This infuriates me. Its like this lovely little fairy tale you tell to small children.
I personally find it insulting.
Because we know for a fact the world does not work that way.
I have strong suspicion the people that say it know its a lie.
Iranians are likely not celebrating the 150+ dead school girls struck by Israeli/American missile.
Meanwhile, how about this, an F-15 allegedly crashing in Kuwait.

It's confirmed. Apparently, several US jets crashed.
All crew members survived.
Kuwaiti authorities immediately initiated search and rescue operations, evacuating all crews and transporting them to a hospital for medical treatment. Their condition is stable.

Hostile action, or poor maintenance?
It may be the second one with a third option added in, friendly fire.
Patriot batteries are ripple firing at the moment.
Back in Golf War the Second there were two examples of Patriot batteries engaging friendly aircraft. One got its radar dish blown up for it by a HARM from an F-16.
USS Gettysburg fired at two F/A-18 last year and shot down one.
Iran is emptying their magazines, and I seam to recall the US Army SAM batteries motto was "If it flies it dies" There are likely quite a few friendly aircrafts flying between those missile radar returns.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has said that three US F-15E Strike Eagles were "mistakenly been shot down" by Kuwaiti air defence on Sunday.
"All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation," the statement published on X said.

Fake. We don't give a flying fuck about idiots bombing each other.

Good thing then that AI aren't the gospel. It was a rumour discussed by BFM TV here yesterday that was rejected by authorities afterwards. Specialised press or bust for this and the rest.

I don't know what you mean by "specialised press" here Rufus.
But for now, I think I'll just apply the Gamaliel Principle: if this is fake news, the story will have no follow-on. But if your government is lying to you, then there will be further news.
Got this response from Yandex. Go figure:
Russian AI really wants to spew obscenities at the mention of the carrier, but its social filter won't allow it to?
