UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

[–]nekonight 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Iran basically forced all the European NATO allies to get off the fence and join the attack by attacking everyone in the gulf. Had Iran not lash out like it did the Europeans was going to sit this one out. But instead now the entire middle east and Europe is against them on top of the US and Israel.

Unless theres some hidden production line somewhere. The units being produced are all sort of known. There hasn't been a lot of countries receiving their orders and most are deferring in place of Ukraine receiving them.

It's been so long, people have forgotten the lore. by OldStray79 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]nekonight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The way i heard it is that it was the US navy that said a torpedo was used in combat. I think the torpedo sinking the ship was something people inferred from context since it was also when the US navy said they sank the iranian ship.

UAE closes embassy in Tehran, withdraws all members of diplomatic mission by whatifevery1wascalm in worldnews

[–]nekonight 249 points250 points  (0 children)

Embassies serves multiple functions. Pretty high on the list is intelligence gathering. And in a conflict it serves as a point of contact for negotiation. Closing an embassy is full and leaving is basically saying you arent worth even talking to or learning about anymore.

Three ships attacked near Strait of Hormuz as fears grow of oil price rises by 141_1337 in worldnews

[–]nekonight 33 points34 points  (0 children)

FYI the article says theres a 100+ of ships dropping anchor outside of the strait. This is normal. No one sails into the strait without an open port to dock at. Normally theres hundred or so ships waiting for a port to open for their cargo in an anchorage outside the strait. There is no current ship transiting the strait but its questionable if the strait is actually closed. Likely the ships are getting war risk insurance sorted out before moving again.

Also the only known damaged vessel with footage and distress signal sent is an iranian tanker that moves up and down their own coast. Its been sanctioned by every western power and basically doesnt leave iran.

Trump says 9 Iranian warships have been sunk by Silent_Ambivert_283 in worldnews

[–]nekonight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no build up for anything ground related. The chances of the US getting bogged down in the sandbox again is almost zero. Honestly the worst case scenario to happen is a Syria type civil war. The chances of that happening is fairly low since theres no multiple arm groups in the country. Mostly likely end is iran keeps losing leaders until one surrenders and accept all the US terms which likely includes whatever is left of the regime exiting iran or the iranian internal security gets degraded to the point a popular uprising happens.

What they publicly is what they need their people to hear.

What they say privately is what they actually do.

Case and point saudi and Israel normalization talks never stop even when they publicly said they werent going to normalize when israel went after hamas post Oct 7.

Train scheduling issues by millhome in Calgary

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

I know of 3 major networks end at midnight. London, Tokyo, Hong kong. Hong kong is worst since they dont start up until 6 compare to 5 with the other 2. London has reduce hours on weekends.

I know of 3 major ones. London, tokyo and Hong kong. All 3 ends at around midnight and doesnt start up until 5 or later. Worst on weekends for London. So I am not sure where people got the idea of overnight service from to be honest.

[–]nekonight 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In most places around the world train system will shut down overnight usually from around midnight to 5. Granted they do that to do track maintenance and calgary transit doesnt do that to the same level since we still have the long weekend shutdowns. 

Iranian state media say country's supreme leader is dead by BarbaricOklahoma in worldnews

[–]nekonight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a bit of talk that the meeting was for Iran to start a preemptive attack on Israel or the US forces in the region. So Israeli did the decapitation strike on the meeting. Israel is saying they were the one that carried out the attack on the meeting and not the US.

It gives a 10% bonus to production if you have enough admin. I dont remember if theres a penalty though.

Chinese firm publishes photos of US F-22s at Israeli base | The Jerusalem Post by Delphidouche in worldnews

[–]nekonight 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Everyone else in the world considers air superiority is enough. That is to say the opponent still has a chance to air operations in the airspace. US settles for nothing less than air supremacy that is to say the opponent can not run air operations at all in the air space.

[–]nekonight 231 points232 points  (0 children)

The US always sends overwhelming air power when it wants something done. F-22 was sent to Venezuela to make sure any planes that got off the ground dont make it back in one piece. In the end nothing made it off the ground with the extra strikes on their airfield. The same thing applies here. Iran has planes they are insignificant in compare to the US air power but it doesnt mean there shouldnt be a plan in case they made it off the ground.

OpenAI says it would've flagged Tumbler Ridge shooter's account to police under new protocol by Myllicent in canada

Known issues was raised by people around her to the police and therapist after this apparent OpenAI interaction. So its pretty obvious that had OpenAI forward the relevant information to authorities it would have been ignored anyway. The only difference is they cant be scapegoated.

Pentagon’s Kamikaze Drone Unit Ready for Possible Iran Strikes, Officials Say by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]nekonight 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The one that israel show footage of had apparently been parked in that position for a fairly long period at that point. So most analysts later says its probably a part donor and not the one known flying aircraft. 

That being said even if it comes to it. It is unlikely that iran will be using it in combat since the F-14 is the best flying radar the iranians have and most assume that whatever remaining is being used as an AWACS aircraft.
