    As much as I hate Iran, you have to question if it makes sense. They are ass*oles, but are they stupid ass*oles. I am doubting anyone is this stupid to make that many enemies at once and risk getting totally effed up for a long time. If it's being promoted by the MSM, you at least have to question it.

    In an interesting turn of events Iran is denying the attack.

    Where normally they embrace them and claim credit "for the blow against the great Satan"

    My suspicion is this is some splinter group that is Iran funded/armed. Which is mostly how they operate anyway

    Sigh...

    DRONE CONFUSION LED TO DEADLY ATTACK IN JORDAN

    US officials have revealed the drone that killed troops in Jordan was able to get past the base's defenses because it was inbound at the same time a US drone was returning to the base.

    The confusion meant that the base's air defense system didn't destroy the enemy drone, believing it to be a US one.

    In WWII, the Japanese somehow figured out that our carriers had to turn off their search radar in specific arc when bringing planes back on board.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    How drone strike death of US soldiers in Jordan takes us a step closer to WW3 - as Trump has warned - and Biden's response could further drag in Britain and play directly into the hands of Putin


    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...nse-putin.html

    If the White House is not strong enough in its response, experts say Iran's proxies will remain undeterred and continue to carry out attacks. Too strong, and Biden risks plunging the Middle East into a deeper conflict.

    Further escalation, one expert warns, 'would bring the Middle East to the precipice of a regional war', while another said they expect a 'expect a serious escalation around the corner.'

    But in doing so, Biden also runs the risk of playing into the 'optimal scenario' for Vladimir Putin, whose war in Ukraine would benefit greatly from a wider conflict.

    Meanwhile, one British MP warned that the escalation in the volatile region also affects the UK, saying that it could become a 'necessity' for Britain to get involved.

    'It's important that the British people understand this: This is one example of many of the new era of insecurity that we've entered and that we need to prepare for,' said former Defence Select Committee chairman and soldier Tobias Ellwood.

    Such concerns come amid fears that the wars in Europe and the Middle East could proliferate into something even larger, with former US president Donald Trump warning on Sunday: 'we are on the brink of World War Three'.
    The US military said the attack occurred at a base near the Syrian border.

    It did not name the base, but a person familiar with the matter identified it as Tower 22 in Jordan - a base which holds a strategically important location in Jordan, at the most northeastern point where the country's borders meet Syria and Iraq.

    Iran's mission to the United Nations said in a statement on Monday that Tehran was not involved in the attack.
    I bet they are saying that and Jordan is smart to distance themselves from this mess too.

    Once the shit hits the Westinghouse every Arab whack a doodle over there will go crazy.

    Just what I was thinking, and irresponsible as **** to put it out there like that. But that's par for the course for these morons.

    Yep, the first combat engagement by us in WWII was the USS Ward opening up on the Jap mini-sub trying to follow it into Pearl Harbor.

    Is this a new way of saying rocket or missile?

    "a one-way unmanned aerial system (OWUAS)"
