Cool we produce more oil than we sell so who cares. Similarly how is that at all related to the one point I had which is that carriers may be old compared to the rest of our Navy but they aren’t in fact obsolete.

Has what happened yet? What are you talking about?

Dunno where you’re getting that the best guess and most common is around 20 total subs. Most of which we likely know the location of.

73 active with another ~60 in the ghost fleets but depending on the cvbg two destroyers, two sub hunters, a unknown number of attack subs that are essentially always in the area talking enemy subs and another 2 attack subs that are know known to trail cvbgs when they enter contested areas.

We don’t need to enter anywhere Iran mines, last time someone tried this dumb shit 48 hours later the third or 5th largest Navy in the world was sunk.

No one said they’re entering the straits.

Correct, that’s not the argument you made though. You said they were obsolete, they are not. Most navies have exactly zero carriers and even the ones we decommission would be a boone for any Navy that could support it which honestly is not that many navies.

In fact, I think an Iranian bomb might actually be a good thing. Could really serve to stabilize the region.

This is correct and why they’re upset, having a nuke means they can’t easily be fucked with which is why nk doesn’t do much time and money developing theirs.

Now, whether the program is actually currently active? That’s a whole other question. It’s quite possible it’s been dormant, I’m not aware of what the most reliable sources say on the current state of things.

Our own intelligence says it’s not active but they are or were enriching to industrial levels for power generation.

The smoking gun was found in 2023. It was found by the IAEA to have enriched uranium up to 83.7%.

Not really, they found experiments to enrich and very small volumes of highly enriched uranium which in itself is not illegal, many universities have access to enriched uranium so a country should have no issue possessing amounts far far to small to be used in a bomb. You’re basically saying they can’t even experiment in particle physics which is insane and immoral.

Good luck actually getting it. Trump loves one thing more than anything else and that is gold, him and Saddam you could convince to do anything if you pay in gold.

If Iran were smart they would just buy it from France like everyone else and specifically Israel did. Chances are they struck a series of bases that aren’t involved at all in nuclear processing which would be extremely useful if they let 3rd parties in to investigate.

It’ll probably get tossed but to find if it’s legal someone actually has to try it no matter how dumb it may be.

A single gbu57 is 20ish million dollars. To come close to damaging any of these sites you’d expect 5-10 per strike iirc there’s 7 bases with hits so 7x5=35 7x10=70, 35 x20 700 million or 1.4 billion.

From there or depends on what they tossed into the holes after they made them, I’m gonna guess fuel air bombs.

Let’s hear again how many diesel subs iran has and how many destroyers we have? How many in a battle group? Oh for that matter how many subs are in a battle group?

Nords have and have had an incredibly powerful navy for most of their history, Iran not so much.

They can’t strike willy nilly, you’d be baffled at how close Russians do fly bys.

This particular thing I dunno but we did some horrific shit and allowed other shit even if it wasn’t super common.

Sailer moon transformation into anime girls and a parody of the same but dull trash colors with bits of debris and shit flying around hitting them in the face and whatnot.

He’s a college dropout and hasn’t actually created anything, he buys into successful innovator’s and annoys every other owner until they leave.

You say that but many have similar structures that use the same force to climb and cling.

So did Hitler and for that matter the Kaiser.

Bro a single Nimitz has more ciws than most navies and you know a literal air force, they’re old they are by no means obsolete countries would literally kill to take one whole.

Lots of our best thinkers were crazy dudes who got paid to live in caves and act mad, it’s sort of a running English joke which crops up in pop culture like Monty Python.

Sorta not really, a living part of the scenery often with their homes in follies so as the landowner and their friends walk about they see a random dude dressed like fuckin Merlin walking about living in a cave or fake ruin.

Your family were invaders too boss, I don’t remember inviting anyone over to genocide the native population do you?

Law enforcement announce presence and who they are in fact it’s incredibly important in criminal law because I don’t have to listen to some guyi have to listen to law enforcement, if you can’t prove you’re le and you put your hands on someone fully expect to be treated the same as any other criminal.

You’re advocating for anyone with a gun and a bad attitude to be treated as le, you’re fucking insane.

Didn’t he just create like two new holidays?
