Alright folks, gotta stop there for now.

Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me! <3

It’s honestly hard to get accurate info on this war at all. Some of the OSINT accounts are doing a great job trying, but information is being locked down everywhere.

Even the MDA account in Israel is being censored now. We went from constant updates to radio silence.

I’d highly recommend not touching it. I’m obviously not a financial advisor, but that’s what I’m doing. The market always corrects eventually.

Most of it, yes.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted.

If the rumors are true, it sounds like they ran through an AI target set without fully vetting it.

To be clear, that’s definitely not confirmed yet.

Our military is still the most precise in the world, but there’s always a chance that shit goes wrong. People should be held accountable, though.

08.03.2026 04:02 β€” πŸ‘ 783    πŸ” 64    πŸ’¬ 16    πŸ“Œ 0

I think we have to be careful using terms like β€˜unauthorized aggression’

It’s a stupid war, but it’s not the military’s job to say β€˜well, Congress didn’t authorize this’ - at least at the operational level.

This is very different than say, deploying on US soil or something clearly illegal.

08.03.2026 03:59 β€” πŸ‘ 573    πŸ” 43    πŸ’¬ 14    πŸ“Œ 2

I think so. I’ve seen zero evidence of US forces capture so far, at least.

I would think Iran would be releasing videos if they actually captured any US or Israeli personnel.

It’s elevated for sure, and the administration is keeping it quiet on purpose.

Someone asked me if I was concerned about the No Kings protests coming up.

I would be lying if I didn’t say yes, but I also think that it’s vitally important that we still show up.

08.03.2026 03:54 β€” πŸ‘ 1107    πŸ” 126    πŸ’¬ 19    πŸ“Œ 2

Absolutely. The Pentagon is full of career professionals who are more than qualified to handle the current shitshow.

The problem is that the political appointees largely aren’t listening to them right now.

I think it’s very, very unlikely that the number are that high. There’s a lot of really bad information floating around on social media. I saw something claiming Iran had captured 50 tier 1 operators and all kinds of stuff.

We’d almost certainly be hearing from next of kin if the numbers that high

08.03.2026 03:48 β€” πŸ‘ 677    πŸ” 38    πŸ’¬ 11    πŸ“Œ 0

It certainly *sounds* like treason.

The whole β€˜we don’t really care about that’ mentality actually made my jaw drop.

It’s something we expected for sure, but acting like it’s not a big deal is insane.

08.03.2026 03:46 β€” πŸ‘ 545    πŸ” 63    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 2

I don’t think we have to worry about that, no.

He’s going to do a lot of dumb shit, but that’s not even on my radar

I did see that, they’re also extensively targeting Iranian oil reserves right now.

The ramifications of this war are going to be catastrophic.

08.03.2026 03:44 β€” πŸ‘ 462    πŸ” 58    πŸ’¬ 16    πŸ“Œ 0

I did. I would have gotten more if I didn’t spend 30 mins arguing with people about WHY losing AN/TPY-2 radars is a big deal.

They seem to think we can just plug in any other radar and be fine. That’s not how any of this works.

08.03.2026 03:43 β€” πŸ‘ 820    πŸ” 64    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 1

Not really - Trump is seriously considering putting boots on the ground now.

I think we’re likely going to be here for awhile, but I hope I’m wrong.

Whoever is running these accounts is *awful*

CENTCOM has gotten progressively worse as time has gone on too.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Radar bases housing key US missile interceptor hit in Jordan and UAE, satellite images show | CNN New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones...

Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.

I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

And that’s how congressional hearings are supposed to work.

Hopefully there will be some fraud charges to go with it.

But way to shit your pants and change your shirt, Trump.

Trump is quizzing people on the Hill on whether or not he should fire Noem.

A lot of them are saying yes.
