Probably not. Is the US/IDF holding gulf traffic hostage? Routinely lighting off rogue rocket assaults, attacking festival crowds, vest bombing marathons? No. That’s Iran’s stock in trade. Pop a tac on their enrichment cellar and let Germany sort it out. Next:)

Chalk up the loss of one E-3 as part of the economic cost. I’m no AGS guy but that looks seriously beyond economical repair.

Wow, nobody ever apologized to me here? If I recall correctly, you questioned the wisdom behind unleashing dogs of war on top of mounting tariff cost, CBP raid ops, budget impasse, intractable currency devaluation and of course ongoing legislative/judicial branch deadlock. To which I replied, good question.

I wish we could go back a month and argue over who's team was the dumber one, and not real issues like significant energy shortages that outright threaten our livelihoods.

What an absolute shame, these things are awesome. Why would they have something like this parked within striking range?
