Iran is falling

I saw a long video by a former CIA expert. He says Iran has at least 30 and perhaps 50 deep underground bases. After Trump dropped his super duper ground-busting bombs, they were back in action within an hour or 2. Iran anticipated the attacks. He said every war plan provided to Trump by the generals included Iran closing the Strait. Trump listened to Bibi instead.

We didn't drop precision guided bombs on Vietnam.

Yes, you did.

The USA dropped laser-guided bombs (LGBs) during the Vietnam War, marking a significant advancement in bombing accuracy.

Development and Deployment​

  • First Use: Laser-guided bombs were first used operationally in 1968.
  • Accuracy Improvement: These bombs achieved direct hits nearly 50% of the time, compared to just 5.5% for unguided bombs.

Impact on Targeting​

  • Difficult Targets: LGBs were particularly effective against challenging fixed targets, such as bridges and bunkers.
  • Notable Success: A famous example is the Thanh Hoa Bridge, which had resisted 871 previous bombing sorties. In 1972, 14 jets using Paveway bombs successfully destroyed it.

Advantages of Laser-Guided Bombs​

  • Reduced Collateral Damage: The precision of LGBs allowed for smaller explosive loads, minimizing unintended damage.
  • Guidance Technology: These bombs used semi-active laser guidance, requiring a separate source to illuminate the target.

And we did beat Germany.

Not alone. Where are your allies today?

OK :laugh:

AI Overview



Laser-guided bombs (LGBs) made up less than 1% (closer to 0.3%) of all bombs dropped during the Vietnam War. Out of the roughly 8 million tons of munitions dropped by the U.S. during the conflict, slightly less than 30,000 were guided weapons (primarily the Paveway series), while the vast majority were unguided "dumb" bombs

Allies ?
The French and the UK have sent ships and Saudi Arabia and the UAE have directly attacked Iran.


The most significant factor in the Allied victory was overwhelming industrial and material superiority.

American Economic Mobilization: The "Arsenal of Democracy" out-produced the rest of the world combined. The United States’ ability to churn out ships, aircraft, and tanks at an unprecedented rate, alongside vital supply lines like the Lend-Lease program, sustained both the British and Soviet war efforts.

Yup. We beat the Germans alone. Montgomery was almost useless.

Eisenhower was from the United States.
Patton was from the United States.
Bradley was from the United States.

Russia was the first to invade Berlin. The U.S. troops had crossed the Rhine.
So Hitler shot himself.

Probably the most effective thing the British did was Operation Chastise.

Where is Britain today? The same place it was during the war.
