proudly Boeing - what would they do for inter island flying ? You really need a 100 seat airplane for thin routes. Maybe bring in Horizon to do inter island ? Man I should be an airline executive

 

Also a member on Alaska airline BOD is former Boeing ceo. They get sweet Boeing pricing . It will be 787s , 737s in less than 3 years. As far as Amazon contract who knows. How much do you really make doing Amazon ?

 

If Iran had nukes, they would not be attacked like this. Nor would they start a nuclear war on their own.

 

Unless you go boots on the ground, they will replenish cheap drones in facilities we don’t even know about. We are blowing up their obvious targets - Air Force and Navy equipment.




What are you gonna do about it? Bomb them? They absolutely will create turmoil. Everyone in the ME has stabbed Iran in the back. They’ll remember all of it and retaliate this for time to come.

This overthrow nonsense needs to stop. It’s not happening. You don’t go bomb a country to obliteration and simultaneously tell the people to go uprise.


I’ve heard it all now. Obama will get us into a war with Iran. Kamala will get us into a war with Iran. Trump getting into an Iran war was wild - after calling out the other two for potentially doing the same.

Boots in Iran will fail, just like Vietnam and Afghanistan.

 

*sad trombone noises*

 

Protest is banned and only cheerleading allowed is how I read that statement. Doesn’t seem very “fair and balanced”. Not that I am surprised it’s just the quiet part out loud.

I agree with many that this is a long term war, excursion, diversion, special military action or whatever name that is reapplied daily like makeup. Iran is not getting bombed out of the ability to wreak havoc If it was the straits would be open today. The fact that we are two weeks in and they are not open says a lot. This has reinvigorated Iranian nationalism and they will not walk away quietly. The hornets nest has been kicked over.

 

I disagree. He knows that just like the average Palestinian the average Iranian is no fan of Israel. Any functioning Iran will still be a threat so I think he would prefer to keep bombing Iran until it looks like Gaza. Hence he is fine with destroying their oil industry and any possible leadership. Our goals are not aligned.

 

They don't need much of a 'wad' to disrupt the SOH for long enough to cause enormous economic pain. That's why it's called asymmetric.

As if it's a secret, and therein lies the big problem. No wonder it got leaked from the top of the Pentagon that this would be a mess.

 

The first Gulf war caused panam and Eastern to fail I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a few airlines this time.

Not surprising, AA could barely hang on when all the conditions were perfect.

Spirit, JetBlue and AA probably don't survive this as they are now.

 

That’s an interesting take. A terrorist culture with nuclear weapons being even keeled at the controls.
