US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[PakFactor]

What's that idealogy ? I will appreciate if you can throw some light on that.

Without going into much depth, he's propping up like-minded Christian nationalists, and within the ranks, there has been pushback.

My guess is the SF are there for planned emergency evacuation

You don't need SF to effect an evacuation, especially NOT the SAS. Deployment of this scale is NO small matter. Which is why the Ausi government is silent on this.

...
It is important to read the correct signals:

I support. Well done Iran.

What does that have to do with what we are discussing? ??

ROFL... So much for USAF not using EU airspace for offensive operations.

Everyone is a hypocrite.

It depends on the nature of the evacuation, espeically if airports are taken out, SF train for this contingency a lot, and it would be a mass evacuation as one can assume UK, Canadian, US and NZ passport holders would be included.

It would be a total U turn if Aus suddenly sided with US in any attack on Iran, especially know the US is looking like it had messed up bad.

Again, even apart from evacuation could be a host of reason SF are there, I just ont think the risk/reward plays out for anyone helping US at this stage

Not just one, but three in total. A shift in ideology is underway.

Hegseth told US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to retire immediately, a Pentagon official told CNN. He also fired two other Army generals Thursday, a US official said — the chief of chaplains, Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., and the commander of Army Transformation and Training Command, Gen. David Hodne.

He wants a holy war - he sees this as a holy war. I have never seen a US Military commander or military representative go into a prayer and sermon during a press briefing.

There is an old African proverb: When the lion is wounded, even the goats will dare to kick him.

It was always unthinkable, even President Bush Jr. was careful in pursuing this route.

See your point, I just do not think Iran is the wounded Lion here....

This is definitely an action plan to completely brainwash the military into a Zionist Evangelical extremist force and weed out the secular types with general humanist ethics and values out of the system,

Hegseth has alluded to this recently:

The military was already heavily infiltrated by these religious Zionist nuts, there's been reports at the very beginning that US commanders were invoking biblical end times non-sense for this war:

I guess they're working hard to make sure they have no opposition or pushback from anyone not on board with their fanaticism.

Here in this video you can hear a coronet consisting of KC 46A's callsign: BLUE16, BLUE17, and BLUE18



Callsign Blue is assigned to any tanker (USAF refuller) stationed in the UK

===
The tankers take off from UK - RV with the bombers and drag them towards CENTCOM AOR bypassing European Airspace. However it should be mentioned - Azoes Islands are PART of EU sovereign territory so technically they are still using EU Airspace.

1973 War Powers Act

Time Limit: Troops must be withdrawn within 60 days (plus a 30-day extension) unless Congress declares war, authorizes the force, or extends the deadline.

April 29th, give or take a day, will be the deadline for Congress to act. Failure to act will require Trump to begin withdrawing.

Iranians are not going to surrender before then, or sign a "deal" or a ceasefire. That much is certain.
