    Well it would be nice to say that Navy Times, Army Times, AF Times would never photoshop a picture, but I'm old enough to remember the lessons of The Pentagon Papers and 30 years later The Afghanistan Papers. That lesson was, for those too young to remember, that the Pentagon has been notorious for its mendacity for generations.

    The amateur night time videos looked authentic to me, but I know the Pentagon is not the only group to use photoshop technology. I don't really care what actually happened, and I hoped no sailors were killed or wounded. If the Houthis are able to hit large ocean-going commercial vessels, it seems likely they might hit a carrier.

    Wow! I had not even heard about the USS Eisenhower being hit by missiles! One thing seems certain, the Iranians are evidently of quite capable of producing their own hypersonic (and other) missiles. When you google "Iranian hypersonic missiles", you get reading material that will last you a day. I can't believe that ALL of it is fiction, either.

    Afterthought: we should have cleaned this mess in the Middle East up five decades ago when we could have done it easily in less than a month. Now? Neither the 'Crats nor the 'Pubs seem to be able to do it anymore....

    My position is that I could not care less about religious zealots and zionists in the Middle East, but Dick & Dubya threw the US right into the middle of it with the attacks at WTC and the subsequent Global War Of Terror, a wet dream for Bibi and the notion of Greater Israel.

    It rolled into ****ing port in the middle of the day, viewable by the public in real time.

    Where are the "look at this giant hole and battle damage" pics you claim should exist?

    They could hit a target the size of a carrier, with luck helping them get a missile and launcher that aren't fubared by bad QC or operator error.
    The thing is: Carrier strike groups have the best point defense on the planet so its not really an issue.

    You're spreading propaganda that is demonstrably and laughably false. Sure you don't care friend ;)

    Propaganda is everywhere sir. You and I both know that. So is censorship and removal of material that contradicts official narratives. It either was hit or was not hit. I personally do not care. I hope it wasn't and I hope there were no US casualties.

    LOL do you build your world around pictures? Have you heard of Photoshop? The most effective form of propaganda is by omission.

    So your evidence for your claim is that there is no evidence for your claim?

    Is the non-existent evidence in the room with us right now?

    No, the evidence for my claim is video from months back. To be clear, I acknowledge that the videos I saw could have been photoshopped. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. The Pentagon's reputation for mendacity over decades colors my judgement, for sure. They have hit and sunk a few commercial vessels, so it is possible they got lucky and hit the carrier.

    And terrorist groups NEVER EVER lie about ANYTHING EVER, right?
    What part of it pulled into an open port filled with people and cameras in the middle of the ****ing day and there are no photos of damage was unclear?
    You think none of those people have ****ing cell phones in their ****ing pockets?


    Commercial vessels don't have missile defense both on board and in the battlespace through other ships in the carrier strike group, most wise and learned one.


    You're a very credible person, and surely your opinions are well taken and founded only in logic.

    Terrorist groups? MLK was right (and was assassinated for it) in pointing out that the US Government is the largest terror organization on the planet. Anybody that doesn't understand that is not being honest with himself.

    Your deflection needs a hell of a lot of work. Absolutely atrocious.

    Commercial vessels don't have air defense. Carrier strike groups do.
    Further: The carrier pulled into port, in public, during the day time, with random plebs and foreign espionage agents hanging about.
    No damage.

    Whomp whomp whomp

    You can't really brag about this tech while you've currently been invaded and lost a part of your country.

    I'm honestly waiting for a nuke at this point in response. (Since the line to use nukes has been crossed) And since you haven't used them yet I'm starting to doubt Russia's nuclear capabilities.

    You've been invaded ffs. Let that sink in. You've had part of your land conquered. Now is the time to use whatever you have in the cupboards to get it back

    Putin won't use nukes. He understands that is exactly what we want him to try because it gives NATO the only excuse it needs.

    NATO? Getting involved in a nuclear war with Russia? Why would NATO do that? Ukraine isn't in NATO....

    Want to have some fun? Go on a German social media site and ask the Germans who post there if they want to get into a nuclear war with Russia because of Ukraine! If nothing else, you may learn some interesting new cursing phrases in German.... :roflol:

    Nuclear fallout from a Ukrainian strike almost certainly effects Poland and Finland.

    Poland hates Russia and will take any excuse given to hit the article V button. Finland: Ditto.

    Want to have some fun? Go see where anyone gives a **** what the Germans want in any NATO conflict ever had.

    Further: Go google "MAD" and how it works. If someone shoots one, we all shoot that someone.

    I think he lacks the capability to effectively respond with the war materiel he has left after all the graft, lying about capabilities, and war of attrition he's been fighting.

    Maybe, but remember that during WW2 the Russians captured the chemical weapons factory at Dyhernfurth in Poland, and shipped the factory contents and all it's scientists back to Russia, the same scientists who had developed sarin and tabun, still two of the deadliest nerve gases known to man.
    In reality nobody in the west knows what Russia has stockpiled.

    All of Putin's 'red lines' have been shown to be bluffs. All those people who have used the imaginary threat of WW3 as an excuse to justify abandoning Ukraine to Putin will need to change excuses.....though I suspect some will just keep repeating it.
