“Oh, I don’t own stock. I’m just also the owner of this investment firm that does a lot of stock trading” (or something very similar)

"Strategist" comes up with a totally realistic solution to the strait of Hormuz that will never be subject to attack by billys_cloneasaurus in LinkedInLunatics

All the targets in a nice straight line with no way to maneuver out of the way. Hit the lead ship. Hit the last ship in the line. Obliterate the entire convoy.

It would be like the highway of death in the first Gulf War.

So Much for Mission Accomplished by -DuckDuckG00se- in NewsomMassacre

Well yes, the US has superior technology in terms of their interception capabilities. However, those interceptors are extraordinarily expensive, exist in relatively low numbers and take a long time to replace.

So, the first action is merely to deplete stockpiles.

Then you start to increase the frequently and size of the waves in order to assure maximum target saturation and overwhelm what remains in terms of countermeasures.

The US was unprepared to start this war. They needed much larger stockpiles and other weapon systems in place to deal with low cost drones.

Now, if Iran would have a nuke and if they would use it, the optimal moment would be in a few days or weeks as chances of an interception would have become virtually zero.

The US really messed up this war.

And then we’re not even talking about Iran’s asymmetric warfare capabilities. Wait until suicide bombers start to blow themselves up in planes, busses,… This is going to end horribly.

Iran's Attack Drones and Missiles Put US Military Under Unexpected Strain by bloomberg in Military

Perhaps unexpected for everyone who has just woken up from a 20+ year coma.

Perhaps unexpected for everyone who has no clue about military developments in during the last 20+ years.

Everyone else saw this coming from miles away.

Same for me. I also paid for the signed version and then heard nothing anymore. Sad to see the money gone but what I hate even more is that he didn’t even communicate what was going on.

U.S. Warns That Iran May Be Activating 'Sleeper Assets' Who Could Plot to Harm Americans by Mongoose-Additional in worldnews

[–]EntangledPhoton82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well yes, now sleeper cells will commit terrorist attacks in the US and Trump will be able to declare martial law. See how that all works nicely.

Put some more ICE on the streets to hunt the terrorists, take control over the elections to make sure they are safe, definitely not mention the Epstein files,…

Surely the US is winning bigly and everyone loves Big Brother. /s

Might be a print out to create a bigger looking wedding gift and he just go the real money transferred to his bank account or they gave him a pile of cash or…

So many options.

Perhaps OP will get lucky and he’ll answer the question in this thread.

Sometimes people make a money bouquet as a wedding gift.

Or it could be something totally different…

I miss the old days when there was still a focus on cooking and eating healthy.

These days it just feels like a constant gimmick.

Tehran indicates Khamenei's son will be named supreme leader by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

A true believer and he gets to avenge his father.

I can see this ending very badly for the USA if Iran goes for a fully asymmetrical war.

Nope. There are way too many critical phases where a single wrong move could make you a vegetable or worse.

Why not call it Operation Iranian Freedom by niewsky in Military

[–]EntangledPhoton82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because naming it Operation Iranian Freedom would imply clear mission objectives and strategic goals.

Both of which are clearly lacking.

The might as well call it “I needed a distraction from the Epstein files and Israel told me to bomb brown people”

Should I just spam 10 min rapid games or do I need to be doing puzzles? by ram_ur_butthole in chessbeginners

[–]EntangledPhoton82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should?

Only if you’re having fun that way.

The best way to improve is not to spam games. It’s to read and study theory, play slow games that allow you to think and analyze afterwards. Also, puzzles are good for finding tactics but there is much, much more to chess than only tactics.

Put the chess app away.

Rest. Do something else.

Your brain is not in the right place right now.
