    Where would we get a live satellite image from?
    Not as if Google maps has a bunch of satellites watching us all the time.

    Could be a drone image, I really not sure? Not claiming its real, wait for something official. US has said nothing so far about the damage assessements.

    I think a few posters need some kip, it's been a long eventful night. Ye can relax now things have all calmed down now or hours ago. The ones you're arguing with will be here when you wake up.

    It like dealing with a 5 year old!!

    Cast your memory back to all of yesterday:
    The Iranian threat is very much over stated they don't possess peer 2 peer weapons and capabilities ,
    Do you think American airforce bases aren't heavily definitely with multiple layers of protection and still have the ability to hit back any where in the world from America Never mind Carrier groups and landbases in multiple countries ,

    Lets look at the Saudi Aramco attack multiple drones and missles were used most got intercepted by a less than stellar patriot system , causing a fire at an oil production facility isn't exactly difficult a few hand grenades could do the same amount of damage ,
    But attacking a heavily defended military base isn't so easy sorry but it's not ,

    No point posting a video showing some supposed secret bunker in a mountain means absolutely nothing look at them big rockets I bet they can hit anything anywhere ,but them shiny tubes are more than likely just that empty tubes Painted to look all shiny and new

    Why do you believe they do?
    Did the Ukranians have that for the MH17 crash?

    I don`t know whether Iran do or not.
    It was you stated they didn`t and appeared to have some pie in the sky idea that they should just hand them over to Boeing.

    Jesus, lads. The amount of fighting between you, I’d swear you’re probably going to invade each other.

    Trump to speak to nation at 11am eastern time, 4 pm in Europe. We learn the next move here.

    Unless he gets sidetracked by toilet flushing or whatnot.

    So the base is still there ,

    Iran's missiles missed badly .


    The the Iran fanboi's who were bating themselves blind at the idea of Americans getting killed and the base turned to rubble ,have now about face claiming Iran missed on purpose to show off ,

    How fcuking pathetic can you's really be

    The embarrassing thing is some even on here are attempting to paint this as a positive for Iran.

    What does "miss badly" mean to you?

    If you launch 20 to 30 missiles at a target and 20 miss ,
    Two thirds of the missiles don't hit the target then the majority missed .


    Pretty obvious is it not

    And if you launch 15, as they did, and 11 hit, as they did, then that’s a majority not missing.

    Or he will rant and rave for 45 minutes, mention Hilary and Obama before sounding off at the news organisations before having a right go at Biden.

    Then he will go back writing love letters to Kim Jong Un the leader of a country who stated 1000s of times they will nuke America.

    Looney Tunes.

    :rolleyes:

    Missing means to not hit. Missing badly means to not even get close. It doesn't mean that some hit and some didn't.

    You are to war what cryptocurrency is to Brexit; a golden shltshow.

    Were? I see Bibi came out of his shelter this morning to unleash a few threats and that's about it

    They've had their second in command taken out.

    Their response has been to organise a funeral that killed 50 more, shoot some rockets into the desert and blow up a passenger plane.

    Pentagon officials now claim 16- 12 reached the target- 4 failed unknown why? So 900 miles flight and the majority ended up where they supposed to go. No official images of the base after the strikes last night.

    Nobody blew up a passenger plane, they’ve managed to get the US military their marching orders from Iraq, and they look way more reasoned and tempered than the Trump administration, who are now illegally targeting sovereign government officials for assassination.

    Missing means to not hit. Missing badly means

    So two thirds of the missiles did not hit the base -yes
    So the majority of the missiles did not hit the base -yes


    Most of the missiles did not hit the base and people are trying to suggest they didn't badly miss because one third of the missiles did hit ,

    Basic math


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭notobtuse


    Not exactly World War III, is it... much to the consternation of those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome?

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    You where badly debunked on the "America has been booted out if Iraq" BS last night.

    Basic maths tells me that a majority of the missiles, based on DoD figures, hit their target. Best of luck with your alternative facts.

    Nobody has debunked the reality that they have been.
