Trump's Second Term

No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success!

Leavitt: "No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success, and that's exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean and undermine the president. We've seen this playbook before ... it's not a coincidence that it was written by the exact same CNN reporter who wrote the original story falsely alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation."

Does she fellate him literally as well?

Not a Cult

"His instincts are uncanny. The President has incredible instincts about the right thing to do. When he says this is the direction I want to go, our job is not to spend the whole day trying to change his mind... Our job is to execute on the President's vision based on really uncanny instincts."

In other words, we're blind lemmings.

She certainly is building up a solid portfolio that will land her a lifelong series of "stupid little toady mouthpiece" jobs.

Trump will now drop bombs on US television networks he dislikes.

They'll be sighing with relief, he doesn't seem very good with bombs.

Have you ever tried to rent a nuke from the French? They cost at least as much as 7 Peugeots and the maintenance is even more!

And they knock off at 3 on a Friday, and anyway they are on strike and burning a few cars.
 
I'm in the middle of a massive procurement audit at the moment and so I've got such things on my mind. The question I'd like to hear asked at one of these pressers is this: "Does the White House centralise the purchasing of crack for the whole administration, or do you all have to sort out your own supply?"

Far too hot for any of that kind of thing, mon ami. It got up to 35 today and I spent the afternoon building spreadsheets in my cellar rather than engaging in revolutionary activities.

And Trump doesn't understand that the European willingness to increase defence budgets is because the USA is seen as completely unreliable now and that the money won't be spent on US weapons.

I always thought that our "independent nuclear deterrent" should be independently targeted.

US intel czar says ‘new intel’ shows Iran’s nuclear sites ‘destroyed’​


US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says “new intelligence” has confirmed Iran’s nuclear facilities have been “destroyed”.

Well! If Tulsi says so, it must be true! :rolleyes:

Well let's see there isn't a practical alternative and BAE is a major contractor for the f-35 so this secures thousands of British jobs, but take heart, Trump would be proud of such a wonderfully ignorant rant.

In terms of jobs Typhoons vs F35A; Typhoons win. Politically it may be necessary to buy ten F35A. F35A does have some advantages over Typhoons, not speed or range or air to air combat, but a slightly bigger payload and better stealth capability for a first strike capability. I am not sure how much interoperability there is between the F35B the RAF / RNAS have and F35A. Bur the RAF could justify having F35A since they dumped the jaguar and vulcans which could have done the job.
 
Why America's giant bunker-busting bombs may have failed to reach their target

The infographics were everywhere in the run-up to Sunday's early-morning strike on Iran's nuclear facilities by American stealth bombers.

They depicted America's bunker-busting bomb, known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or GBU-57. It was being dropped from high above the Earth by a B-2 Spirit bomber. Then, the graphics showed it plowing a narrow channel deep beneath the ground — around 60 meters, or 200 feet — and erupting in an illustrated explosion.

Only America had this 30,000-pound weapon. Only America could hit Iran's most deeply buried uranium enrichment site at a place called Fordo. It was buried beneath nearly 90 meters (around 300 feet) of rock, far deeper than Israeli bombs could penetrate.

There was only one problem — I wasn't entirely sure it would work.

Now it appears it may not have. According to a still-classified assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the bombs did not "obliterate" Iran's Fordo enrichment site as President Trump initially claimed. Instead, the strike did only limited damage to the advanced centrifuges kept there. At most, the program was set back "a few months," according to a U.S. official who confirmed the assessment's existence to NPR but remained anonymous because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

The article goes on to explain the math, physics and geology of why the bombings probably DIDN'T do much harm to the underground facilities. Please read the whole article.

Typhoons? Cheaper, better air interdiction.

But how about as strike aircraft?
RAF and FAA parlance for nuclear attack aircraft is 'strike' Bombers are 'attack'
Typhoone can be used for attack but they were never designed for strike missions.
