Did they ever consider protecting the assets in the Middle East, like radar sites or airborne radar planes? Did they even think of protecting our "eyes and ears" in the sky?
Satellite images show damage near vital equipment on sites in at least five countries.The New York TimesBy Devon LumHaley Willis and Riley MellenMarch 3, 2026Iranian strikes conducted over the weekend and on Monday damaged structures that are part of or near communication and radar systems on at least seven U.S. military sites across the Middle East, according to a New York Times analysis of satellite imagery and verified videos.Visuals show damage on or close to mechanisms used to track incoming ballistic missiles, satellite dishes and radomes, which are weatherproof covers that protect sensitive equipment used by forces to communicate over long distances.U.S. military communication infrastructure is highly classified, making it difficult to determine which exact systems may have been affected. But the targeted locations appear to indicate Iran was aiming to disrupt the U.S. military’s ability to communicate and coordinate. Iran has attacked the U.S. military’s communication capacity as recently as last June, when it struck a Qatari base it hit again over the weekend.
DUH!
The strikes reportedly hit Prince Sultan Air Base, where the now-destroyed E3 AWACS command and control plane was stationed alongside other US military assets.NDTV News DeskMar 29, 2026Iran on Friday claimed to have significantly damaged a United States aircraft during a retaliatory missile and drone strike on an American air base in Saudi Arabia.The strikes reportedly hit Prince Sultan Air Base, where the now-destroyed E‑3 AWACS command and control plane was stationed alongside other US military assets.Newly released images, published by Iran's Press TV, show the body of the plane damaged, with only the head and tail intact. The attack reportedly involved six ballistic missiles and 29 drones.At least 10 US personnel were wounded, with two reported in serious condition, Associated Press reported. The strike involved an Iranian missile and several drones targeting the base.Multiple refuelling aircraft were also damaged in the attack, preliminary reports indicate.
DUH!
Al Jazeera reported,
On Friday Iran attacked Prince Sultan Air Base which included at least six ballistic missiles and 29 drones, according to The Associated Press. At least 15 American soldiers have been wounded and five of the injured US troops are in “serious condition”, AP reported, citing unnamed sources briefed on the strikes.[...]Iran’s retaliatory attacks have targeted several sites across Israel as well as oil refineries, US military bases, airports and commercial shipping across the six Gulf states and beyond.[...]The war has now expanded beyond Saudi Arabia. Yemen's Houthi rebels reportedly fired missiles at Israel on Saturday. Tehran has also threatened retaliatory strikes on Israeli and US universities following attacks on Iranian academic institutions.[...]Iran, on the other hand, is using a trifecta of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones.Drones have delivered volume, with cheap, mass-produced Shahed drones making it difficult for radar to spot due to their ability to fly at low altitude.
DUH!
Did our Crusaders even think Iran would retaliate? Did they think the so-called “Iran terrorist organization” would just sit by and twiddle their thumbs?
Did our "Crusaders" honestly think Iran wouldn't retaliate? Did they think that “Iran terrorist organization” would just sit by and twiddle their thumbs?
Trump's War was planned by idiots! And that is what happens when politicians plan a war!
The Guardian writes that...
Simultaneously, faithful to his master’s desire for total domination and destruction, Hegseth announces future war crimes on live TV (“no quarter”) and encourages gratuitous cruelty: “We are punching them while they’re down.” The obscene focus on “lethality” is part of this shift towards war understood as inflicting maximum destruction and pain (as opposed to achieving strategic objectives – which the administration has of course been utterly incapable of articulating).The reality of war itself recedes because the airwaves are filled with an endless series of entertaining images and empty talk. Hegseth, fond of laughably overwrought language and alliterations in particular (“warriors, not wokesters”), seems unable to articulate anything other than cliches (“unbreakable will”) or snippets of a Christian nationalism which flies in the face of the first amendment’s prohibiting an established religion: one cannot make it a litmus test of patriotism that citizens pray for the troops on bended knees and in the name of Jesus.The point is not to equate the two men, but one cannot help but remember how Hannah Arendt, in her highly controversial book on the Eichmann trial, described the Nazi bureaucrat: someone utterly incapable of thinking, someone who instead just produced an endless stream of hollow phrases.Will all this have an effect in legitimizing an illegal war? Hegseth has also created a fantasy world inside the Pentagon itself; instead of press conferences with critical questions and genuine answers, there is gentle back-and-forth between “the secretary of war” – a fantasy name, as Congress has not authorized changing the department’s name – and figures from the Epoch Times and LindellTV (the world according to “the MyPillow guy”).Even with this extra layer of insulation from reality, Hegseth insisted that the press was not being positive enough about US attacks on Iran. Like with many Maga men performing puerile stunts for the manosphere, the fragile ego inside seems incapable of facing up to the reality of what has been unleashed so thoughtlessly.
We are being lead ideological zealots who dream of the Crusades and bring the "Bringing the end times"
