Popular Post onetrack Posted March 28 Popular Post Posted March 28 The news about the U.S. bases damage, is largely correct. The U.S. military themselves have admitted damage has been incurred at 13 U.S. bases in the Middle East, with DoW damage estimations of around US$800M. There are other reports saying the number of bases seriously damaged is actually 17, and the total repair bill for all the Iranian damage is likely to exceed US$3B - and more importantly, take years to rebuild, simply because of the complexity of the equipment in the bases, and the requirement for a lot of electronic replacements, that are still in short supply from COVID-era restrictions. Even many car manufacturers are taking shortcuts in vehicle manufacturing, and leaving out optional equipment that is electronics-heavy, due to the ongoing chip shortage. What our dopey Tangerine Toddler doesn't understand, is that Taiwan may now even make overtures to China to form an alliance, to prevent a Taiwan-China war. This is because Taiwan is starting to realise that their major ally is no longer a reliable ally - and is likely incapable of protecting/supporting Taiwan in the event of a Chinese aggressive military move on them. If that alliance happens, China will then control the majority of the worlds cutting-edge chip manufacturing, and give Trump and his sycophants another dose of heartburn, because America still hasn't got any local chip manufacturing sorted yet. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddq7j48p35o https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/us-bases-uninhabitable-iran-missile-strikes-centcom-force-posture-2026-war/ 3 2
red750 Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 The Strait of Tears (Bab el-Mandab) is currently under severe threat and effectively at risk of closure, though it has not been fully blocked as of late March 2026. The Houthi rebels, who control parts of Yemen and are part of Iran's "Axis of Resistance," have vowed to close the strait as a strategic option to escalate the ongoing conflict, following the effective closure of the nearby Strait of Hormuz by Iran. 1

That post is relevent to the EV thread. If they close both pinch points, I'll be buying an EV. 2

Popular Post nomadpete Posted March 31 Popular Post Posted March 31 The bestest goldest world leader has got it covered. Already, the *resident of the United States now states that the reason for this war (which isn't a WAR) is to destroy the nuclear weapons program that he claims to have already destroyed last year, while simultaneously claiming that the objective of the war is to open the strait of Hormuz that was already open before he started the war, but he is not going to open it. He doesn't need anyone's help to win the war. He already won the war on the first day anyway, and is currently winning the war, but demands help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. I hope this clears up any confusion, which was all caused by corrupt Democrat fake news outlets. 3 3
old man emu Posted March 31 Posted March 31 He's given England and France a big serve for not letting him use their facilities to move military supplies. Good on them! Both countries are under constant threat of jihadist attacks from wothin their own populations. Why stir the possum? 1
old man emu Posted March 31 Posted March 31 So much for the United Nations. I haven't heard a peep out of it condemning Trump's actions. 2 1
facthunter Posted April 1 Posted April 1 They do it constantly, But the Media chooses to not cover it. Israel and Trump ignore the UN Completely. Nev 1
red750 Posted April 1 Author Posted April 1 Israel has passed laws that anyone caught carrying out terrorist acts will automatically get the death penalty. And they will not hand back any territory they have grabbed in Lebanon. 1

Grumpy Old Nasho Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Albo won't help Trump much in the fight against Iran because he knows damn well there'll be muslim terrorist attacks in the streets of Melbourne and Sydney. 1

Perhaps Albo does not want to involve Australia in a forever war. Trump claimed that he would not get the US into wars, but he has failed. 1
Grumpy Old Nasho Posted April 1 Posted April 1 We've had enough muslim terror attacks already. Albo would realize the domestic consequences of provoking any more attacks. The US has had one since the Iran incursion. 1

Grumpy Old Nasho Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Everyone wants the Iran sponsored global terrorist attacks to cease.
facthunter Posted April 1 Posted April 1 They don't want the sky to fall in either . What Trump Offers is "Unconditional Surrender" and HE appoints the New Leader. OR ELSE. Is THAT likely to sell? Nev 1

These were the reasons for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and we know how that turned out. Trump claimed to have obliterated Iran's nuclear material back in June, yet this is given as a reason to go to war. Was he lying back in June? 1 1
