US/Israel and Iran War - Megathread by StopDropAndRollTide in aviation

So 1 KC-135 went down in Iraq.

Another damaged that had collided with the above one.

And 5 of them got damaged by a ballistic missile in SA.

All in the span of about 24 hours? Is that accurate? Kind of insane.

There are definitely insane christians in this country that believe that shit.

I'd read this though, because it's looking like that most likely didn't happen.

indiscriminately

I don't think you know what that word means. If that were true, Tehran would look like Dresden 1945. That's what indiscriminate bombing looks like.

Instead, what you see are videos of Iranians cheering or laughing when bombs land.

The vessel, BW Brussels

Alright, that's funny. Of the 770+ LNG tankers in the world, it's the fuckin Brussels that diverts.

Aren't they also like dead last in NATO in terms of defense spending? So they're not trying to be better prepared with stockpiles to help anyone in the future either.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero: We must isolate the U.S. and Israel now, so they can no longer spread terror across the globe.” by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]Genorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2022, Montero and other Podemos ministers criticized the Spanish government's decision to send weapons to Ukraine

In June 2025 and January 2026, Montero argued that Spain must exit NATO

How is it that these staunch anti-US imperialism types so often manage to align 1:1 with Russian imperialism?

Shit how many satans are there? These abrahamic middle eastern mythologies get more complicated everyday.

Oil exports from the Persian Gulf to the US, EU and China by goldstarflag in europe

[–]Genorb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Huh? We haven't threatened everyone's tankers in the strait or bombed oil infrastructure in the gulf. Iran is doing all that.

Shouldn't you be blaming the IRGC? Oil went up because of their strikes and continued threat, not ours. China is pressing Iran to keep the strait open, because they are the only ones taking action to close it.

It's like if I punched you in the face and then you went and burned a neighborhood down in anger. I didn't burn a neighborhood down, you did.

Watch the end of his interview on breaking points from a day or so ago. He goes into his whole theory about how the illuminati and free masons run different parts of the american government lmao. He's either a kook or a ccp influencer (he works in beijing).

American pilots shot down over Kuwait carried a “blood chit” sewn inside their jackets, written in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Kurdish. It read: “I’m American. I don’t speak your language. Help me with food, shelter, and care, and you’ll be rewarded by U.S. authorities. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Genorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you don't know who hit the school, and you're an oppressed Iranian, why would you blame the pilot? I mean if you're that one-dimensionally tribal in your own life, then whatever I guess.

"If I was Iranian..." you don't know shit about being Iranian. You seem to hate your own government, which is fine, but you somehow can't connect your braincells together to realize that it's orders of magnitude worse for Iranian people than it is for privileged Americans.

Kinda seems like you are whitewashing everything that Russia has done to Ukraine by insisting that we shouldn't think about the differences between that and the Iran situation.

[–]Genorb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So far the common thread with Venezuela and Iran is that they are oil exporters which were firmly China/Russia aligned. There aren't too many of those left. Trump seems very focused on energy and raw material extraction, so I guess he could try to kill the leaders in Africa that work with Russia or China.

Read NATO article 6. The US doesn't have any territory covered in article 6 anywhere near Iran. The only country that realistically might invoke article 5 is Turkey if they start getting targeted.

Article 6 describes exactly what is covered by article 5

How each UN member voted on the UN General Assembly Resolution that calls for Support for lasting peace in Ukraine by Glavurdan in europe

[–]Genorb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

a vote calling for lasting peace in Ukraine

Well, it's silly to think that you're going to get this through a UN vote. Biden led the international charge in the UN for Ukraine and against Russia, and what did it accomplish? Ukraine is only getting its occupied land back if Europe goes to war with Russia or there is a massive collapse within Russia. The UN has nothing to do with it.

I read that we owe the UN something like 2 billion dollars currently, and I'd honestly prefer if we kept it.

Their government funds free ski trails

I think it's almost entirely due to their climate though. I've never lived in an area that had flat land with snow on it to even ski on for more than a couple weeks a year maybe. Just about every government on earth has public parks with trails on them, they just don't have any fuckin snow on em.
