Pakistani junta leader and de facto top dog Asim Munir is in Saudi Arabia to discuss the security situation in the Gulf. Pakistan recently signed a Defence Pact with Saudi Arabia and both sides have earlier implied that in the case of continued Iranian attacks the Pact could be activated.
The Saudis have been extremely patient with Iran and have consistently chosen restraintful language and approach, hoping to see this replicated- compare this to Azerbaijan's response. A more mild Iranian stance isn't happening though, the Iranians keep targeting the Kingdom's hydrocarbon facilities, just today another drone swarm targeted an oil field+ facility (Al Shaybah oil field) and the capital Riyaad. Activating the Pact would likely mean the Pakistani bolstering the Saudis defensive aerial capabilities, and possibly more.
This man is a legend. He needs his own thread.
Would explain why it's pretty much only been Israeli media/figures reporting that the Kurd were about to begin an attack.
I don't think they care one whit what any American thinks of a ground invasion. They know we have no power to resist and they can arrange the incentives to facilitate.
The only limitation on their power is perception management and the uniparty's balancing act.
Thomas Massie needs more security since he's the outstanding voice in Congress questioning the presuppositions justifying war.
In no universe is that a reason not to sink an enemy warship. Every admiral from Themosticles to Stanley Woodward would’ve done the same.
Debatable and flimsy claim as there was an Iranian replenishment ship tailing the frigate and the ship had just participated in live firing exercises. Either way that's the soy reply, reality is that the IRIS Deena was an enemy vessel and part of a military that engages in hostile acts against US civilian and military assets all around the Persian Gulf and beyond.
Furthermore this attempt to gain the moral high ground is bunk. The US only targets enemy military vessels, the Iranians on the other hand have been (successfully) taking potshots at a variety of civilian vessels for the last 7 days, sinking several and causing damage, death and massive secondary implications. In short the idea that in a war one is not allowed to target enemy vessels because they haven't shot at you yet nor have arrived at their field of operations yet is low T.
Show us the proof then, all we got is Israel bombing girls schools and hospitals and highways in Iran which resulted in loads of deaths.
That warship was going down regardless. It was sunk in a cowardly and perfidious way, sure. But that is how warfare goes.
Karl Dönitz, the head of the German navy in WWII, was actually cleared on the charges of war crimes relating to unrestricted sinking of vessels by his submarines. Although he was convicted for some other BS charges. He afterwards received letters from many Allied officers denouncing the unfairness of his trial.

The Chud Right broke the last few strands last of connection to reality this past week, the possibility that the US is actually competent and the talked up thirdworld backwaters they've been huffing and puffing about are not is just too much for their resentful egos to take. Malign foreign paid propagandists who've got them on a slowdrip slop-IV have been gassing them up for years and now the poor sobs think the US has a weak military full of tranny pronoun soldiers and sinkable aircraft carriers.
It's gonna take some time before that propaganda high wears off but the pipeline and dynamics are always the same. It's become an online thirdworldist staple to ad infinitum bounce between feigned bravado on taking down the US, and then crying and playing victim when the US curbstomps 'their side' in return. This thread is not far from that inflection point either, right now it's still like watching one of those massive older projectors inverting observable reality aka putting everything on its head, soon it will be all about civilian deaths, human rights and Trump is Satan. It's gonna be a spectacle watching them snap back into reality, memories of the other thirdworldist geopolitical debacles still fresh up.
