Perhaps

what will the russians and chinese do, is a question i have for you all

thanks glp good thread everyone.

I have some thoughts on that.


China actually depends on the safe flow of oil from the gulf.


You don't hear them rushing to Iran's defense.

Russia neither. They have been at odds with Iran over Syria. They want Iranian troops near the Golan to pull back.

Also, Iran just captured a Rusdian sailor or two on that tanker.

nope, they have a danish boat and its foreign crew

It is Chinas best interests that the flow of oil from the PG not be interrupted

Precisely

And the same pentagon that keeps our enemies in check?

The same pentagon that won two world wars?

The 21’trillion could be whole, or in part, book keeping errors.

It could be whole, or in part, secret projects intended to protect the USA.

It could be that you just need to go fuck yourself.

Iranian SAR's Naji 12 at Jask Iskand and Naji 16 at Abu Musa Island no longer tracking on AIS.

Why broadcast movements? Is this just something you do? I have a son on active duty over there, and if your loose lips cause any harm to him or his unit, you’re going to have a bigger problem than Iran, I assure you.

The transponders are all active on these aircraft and vessels. It’s all open source. All the actual secret/ OPSEC movement you won’t see.

FWIW the US want the bad guys to know we are there in force.

That's right.

In combat, pilots can shut off Ads-b and ships can turn off AIS tracking.


If these craft are broadcasting, it's not secret.


I wouldn't do anything to divulge secret information.

If things get hot, I will cut out locations and other info. even if not secret.
