One must imagine what is going to happen when Yemen, Iran, and Lebanon strike at the same time once again in the same fashion. It will not be pretty
That’s why Israel wants the US to join them in a regional war against Iran and the axis of resistance. There was a war game that stated Israel’s air defense will be depleted within 3 days in a war against Hezbollah because the amount of rockets,drones and missiles that would be fired from Lebanon. Add those nations you mentioned Israel’s air defense would get depleted within a day. And once they have no air defense critical infrastructure will be targeted. Israel is in a damned if they do damned if they don’t. They are bogged down in Gaza and Hezbollah is continuing a war attrition in the north. If they go all in South Lebanon it will unleash a catastrophic war on Israel. Only thing they think that can save them is US involvement. But even that’s not a guarantee for total victory.

He is most likely good. In his video, he talked about the Red Sox vs Tigers MLB match that happened on June 2nd. tge repair tweet at that point is just shifting the goal posts, which is a logical fallacy. Nonetheless, this fiasco was an absolute embarassment for the US Navy. Even teenage McDonald employees know that they shouldn't go beyond their job for a PR stunt.

I'm a big fan of "letting the bullets fly" and I agree that it's very very low odds that a few rebels missiles can get through an entire CSG AA screen (no, please no torpedos down ventilation shaft jokes ;))

That said, I cannot help but chuckle at every such post - cos I'd be thinking how totally different it would be if the same situation instead involved a Chinese carrier. OMFG but the entire 500bn US anti-China media machine would go to town in an orgiastic examination of every tinfoil possibility of how the PLAN is hiding something.

Look no further. The rocket fuel and hot pot rumors really got every Westerner high with excitement. At least this one actually had some evidence and backing.

Saw a rumour on X that Israel was going to strike Hezbollah mid-June and the recent movement north of the Ike CSG was to cover that. This would tally with the new mobilisation order and Bibi's recent comments. Anyway, we will see.

Why the off camera voice over?


Why hasn't any C2 Greyhound landed on the USS Eisenhower in over 5 days now? :)
Lol @ soggy cookie.

What rebel missiles? Houthi are the defacto government and standing army of Yemen. The CSG has been operating in the Red Sea for months but numerous missiles and drones have went straight past them and landed in Eilat which indicates that the CSG isn't that invincible at a medium range.

. I don’t think war is coming this summer. It would be suicidal for Israel to fight two front wars at this time. It would collapse their economy. And with campaign season coming ahead in the summer for the US elections Biden is not going to sign on a regional war with massive economic ramifications. Many Israeli ex generals are saying it’s a bad idea to fight both Hamas and Hezbollah at the same time.
