so literally exactly what we had before?

Going live in a couple hours with @bretdevereaux.bsky.social to discuss "chud classics" on twitter. Don't miss it! (And if you do, it'll be recorded)
Neat.
I mean, obviously.
But neat.
I am once again requesting live footage of the Strategy Cheese.
They called him, these big fellows, they called him, with tears in their eyes and they said - and these were big, strong guys, tears in their eyes - they said, "Sir, Sir, please can you stop the bombing?"
Beginning to think the only person in CENTCOM getting what they deserve out of all of this is the guy who has to write the briefing to talk Trump out of stranding a bunch of marines on Kharg Island every few weeks, to be honest.
Of the senior people, I mean.
I have nothing but sympathy for all of the junior officers, NCO and enlisted stuck in the region because of this fool president, idiot secretary and CENTCOM gnawing at old plots.
In which case we're going to end up back where we started the ceasefire - needing to deescalate to a ceasefire before Iran puts GCC oil infrastructure to the torch - before too long.
I'd imagine the purpose of Iran's attacks right now may be to demonstrate that inevitability.
I suppose one of the key questions here is how well CENTCOM and the GCC were able to replenish interceptor munition stocks.
But I worry the answer is going to end up being 'not nearly enough' with Iran still having 70+% of its missile and drone capabilities.
