I love how every morning starts with Pete Hegseth assuring me that we've blown up a billion "targets" in Iran and destroyed 159% of the missiles they've ever even thought about building, but every evening finishes with Downmarket Mussolini getting BIG MAD because Iran fired more missiles.

Somehow, nobody around me seems to notice this phenomenon but it happens pretty much every day now.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
I suspect this is actually nothing more than hegseth looking as pretty as he can and saying things directly to the camera for an audience of one.

Then fox replays those clips often throughout the day so when trump watches it he says oh we must be doing all the right things. Mental model of a 3 year old.

They also said one of the goals was to stop irn from being able to make IEDs, which is a pretty wild statement.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

The media capture in this country is essentially complete. There is not a single mainstream outlet that is a reliable source of information, even when they are reporting the most basic truths about this disastrous and failing administration.

Obvious lies are put forth as credible statements without even an afterthought.

@AnarchoNinaWrites im sure claude is telling hegseth that these are the last of the missiles this time for sure

It’s a farce on so many levels. There is even a silver lining if you want to call it that and some of this.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

I suspect--strongly suspect--that numeracy is not in the Pete-and-Donald skillset. Nor do I think either had a normal childhood which would have taught them about hiding stuff. So they can't calculate or count for shit, and the idea that Iran might have imagined just this sort of attack and PLANNED AHEAD by hiding drones and missiles in many sneaky locations...well that's not playing fair, is it?

Their stupidity would be a joke if it didn't involve the rest of us.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Iranian Navy destroyed many times over despite Iran still having plenty of small boats to do Huthi style raids against shipping or lay mines with will also be entertaining, because they will be able to “do the impossible“ with ease, i.e. make it impossible to resume shipping of oil.

Fav among mil bloggers seemed to be how everyone was caught off-guard by Iran having plenty of dirt cheap Shahed drones which only RuZZia is known to use against Ukraine in a war fascist MAGA brotherlords won't care about anyway. Who would have thought of Iran using Shaheds and where would Iran have gotten those from? Who could still supply plenty of those despite Iranian production facilities being destroyed many times over as well? I swear nobody has any clues! 🤡
