I would think the U$ would prefer a weak EU

I knew I sensed danger nearby.

My coworkers are like Tyranids.

Shades of Rumsfeld

Trump would make himself the anti-Pope.

It is a long standing issue that WoW is rough for a new or returning player, the game has over 20 years under its belt granted. They've streamlined it a lot but it's still messy if you don't know the backstory to Jaina or Nozdormu or whatever.

Low value slice of the population there though. Might as well go down to your local pub and ask the dudes there their opinion on things. The idea that internet discourse on forums and such is poor seems something decades too late to be concerned about at this point (abusenet, anyone?). Iran should demand payment in TrumpCoin.

Surprised, Vimy Ridge would be low hanging fruit. But the jingoistic crap is tiresome. Wonder if they'll do an Epic Fury song

Beats me as Canada can go a while without bombing places, probably the same way though, is like a sports match - need moral victories no matter what. Still, have to achieve objectives, poltical ones. Luckily the ones they had here were amorphous AP NewsLive updates: Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz in respons...After Iran, the U.S. and Israel agreed to a two-week ceasefire, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, per state media.Confusion.

WoW storyline is dumber than usual, but at least the music is nice and the levelling experience is fun. Next up is the previously requisite troll raid.

Again who cares what the Kodex thinks.

Americans always boil a war down to K/D. I guess leftover from Vietnam. Iraniam navy before the war didn't seem to be full of big ships, so may not be too difficult to replace it enough to be back to being a threat to shipping.

Lebanon too, neat.

Doesn't even sound like Iran agreed to anything

They bombed stuff on Kharg Island today. Guessing no TACO today, probably some half assed bombing campaign where they level a bridge.

I believe the US "Christians" say Deus Vult now. Gotta have that Crusader aesthetic. Then again...

Well, Trump might take it that way. Not sure that this operation shows anything people weren't aware of - the US has air supremacy over Iran and good intelligence. It would be nice to see US troops eat FPV drones though. Ever notice Trump's posting a lot like Medvedev lately

The conclusion will be the invasion will go easily then.

Pilot was rescued apparently. Firefight with armed Iranian civilians too. Although with the Americans, they may have gunned down people needlessly. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/05/iran-f15-crew-member-rescued https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/us/politics/military-iran-airman-rescue.html "The mission to save the crew member employed hundreds of special forces troops, dozens of U.S. warplanes, helicopters, and cyber, space and other intelligence capabilities. U.S. attack aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to keep them away from the area where the airman was hiding. As U.S. forces converged on the downed airman, a firefight erupted, two former senior military officials briefed on the operation said. The airman was equipped with a beacon and a secure communication device for coordinating with forces mounting the rescue. A senior U.S. military official described the mission to rescue the airman as one of the most challenging and complex in the history of U.S. special operations. In a final twist after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airmen, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into Iranian hands." So movie in, what, a year or two ?

US seizing Soleimani's relatives right now for hostages, no worries.
