Showing Original Post only (View all)Has there been massive destruction of US military bases by Iran? [View all]
This is huge if true but might explain why we've heard so little detailed news of what is happening with this war.
Israeli journalist, Alon Mizrahi:
"We are witnessing history. Iran is, to the surprise of everyone, fucking up US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the world isnt ready to see it."
"In 4 days, Iran has managed to expand its scope of military domination in the region. Iran has destroyed the most precious, most expensive military bases, assets and equipment in the whole world.
American bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the biggest military installations in the entire world. These are assets that took trillions to build over the course of several decades. Were talking a major chunk of military expenditure for over 30 years, going up in smoke.
We are seeing radars costing hundreds of millions of dollars a piece being destroyed in an instant. We are seeing entire military bases being abandoned and burned, decimated and destroyed
And Im telling you from my knowledge, the US has never suffered such devastation in its entire history, except maybe Pearl Harbor but that was one attack.No enemy in a normal war has done to the US military what the Iranians are doing to the US military right now. This defies belief. The military situation is so bad that censorship blocks practically every piece of new information about this war. If youve noticed were being exposed to less and less every day.

Thirty-five years ago during the first Iraq war, we were being shown endless footage from Iraq. The smart bombs and the cameras were a novelty back then, but every night we were being shown night footage. Now we are seeing almost no video.
Understand this! This is supposedly the worlds biggest military power having the worlds biggest air capabilities and for 4 days when the US is on the offensive, supposedly and is supposed to be breaking through Iranian defenses we are seeing NO signs

of American domination over Iranian skies. Where is all the footage of our planes flying over Tehran or any part of Iran for that matter?
American soldiers can not even dream of setting foot in Iran. And to understand how desperate this war is, that on the 4th day youre already hearing the craziest suggestions and ideas from the Trump administration. They are suggesting to send military escorts for oil carrying vessels coming out of the Persian gulf. What are you even talking about?!

that was what they said but I wonder if they were worried about the overall situation just as much

Arrogant and delusional Trump, Hegseth, and others thought Iran was a pip squeak nation living in dark ages

I think that is vastly overstating it but it also seems clear that damage to US bases is being censored

Russia only has so many recon sat's and most will be tasked with the Ukr, so I doubt Iran is getting all they want

I'll wait until somebody in addition to just some Substack blogger says so to believe this.

I do feel like we just aren't getting any detail about what's going on and feel like they are hiding something!
