I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Could he slur out some halfway coherent explanation as to WHY he sent these soldiers to die?

The Lincoln has Growlers with AN/ALQ-249 jammers. While newer they actually jam a narrower range of frequencies and are just now being battle tested. Both jamming suites are primarily intended to jam air defences in support of strike missions. The Iranians should definitely test them with drones.

Growlers? Technically yes, but those weren't really designed with drones in mind, and the ALQ-99 jamming pods they use are rather unreliable to begin with. Off label usage like this isn't likely to make them more reliable.

Yes, although be cautious with BBC on any domestic story about America. They rely on a partnership with CBS for those stories.

Carriers move slowly enough that even unguided rockets could get close enough that the carrier group would need to shoot them down. Iranian drones are remotely piloted and could easily hit a target as large as a ship. They also cost FAR less than the interceptor missiles that would shoot them down.

People compare Trump to Hitler. I don't think that's fair. Hitler would never have tolerated a Reich Commissioner for Health and Emergency Services who was a former* heroin addict and bragged about snorting cocaine off of toilet seats.

Trump is lucky that the Iranian military is not very smart. They are firing missiles at every base they can reach. Risking bringing more enemies into it. They even attacked Cyprus! If they focused every drone and missile on a US carrier, the carrier group would have run out of ammo and sunk by now.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Actually the whole β€œindustrial grade uranium enrichment” thing is worse than it sounds. Iran actually DOES have industrial grade uranium enrichment. It doesn’t have WEAPONS grade enrichment. It’s worth noting that industrial grade enrichment in no way could be a justification for war.

With all these unprovoked attacks, it seems like Trump and Netanyahu are trying to convince Iran that Iran DOES need nuclear weapons.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

They are invading and militarily occupying American states. That fits the legal definition of treason. There is another punishment option on the books for that particular crime.

No one knows how many lives could be lost. And, he hasn’t even given a reason why he started this war or what the war is supposed to accomplish.

Exactly. He will also count this new conflict with Iran. He actually has been counting the last War with Iran that he helped start. He has also been counting Gaza where he was egging Israel to genocide. Notably that war/genocide still hasn’t ended. Apparently ongoing wars that he started still count

Yeah. No doubt Israel will be producing some evidence of an immediately impending Iranian attack. Because that would be required to legally use a preemptive attack justification. Personally, I rather doubt they’ll bother. Spouting BS after unprovoked attacks is very trendy lately. (Cough) Russia.

I really need to reread international laws regarding justification for war. I missed that part. Is it in the preemptive strike section?

That’s the section Israel is trying to use…apparently without reading it, because it doesn’t actually apply here.

So, a completely unprovoked attack? The Iranian nuclear program was already claimed as destroyed last time. No one seems to know of any possible justification for this attack.
