Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of The
Speaker 1: Cajun Knight Live. I am your host, the Cajun Knight,
Speaker 1: Jacob Mook. We got some things. Some things have gone
Speaker 1: on in the past week in our country, around the world.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard of some of these things. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off talking about the Clinton cross examination briefly.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna spend too much time on it because yeah,
Speaker 1: I only pulled up one article, kind of like the
Speaker 1: key Takeaways. We can have our own discussions of that,
Speaker 1: for sure, and I'm looking forward to it. But it's
Speaker 1: not like this was some sort of earth shattering revelation
Speaker 1: that we didn't already suspect, but that definitely is a
Speaker 1: thing that took place. Then we're gonna talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about the situation going on in Ecuador right now.
Speaker 1: Some Delta boys of getting it in an Ecuador for
Speaker 1: some drug cartel wars, positive things in my opinion. We
Speaker 1: got some Russian jets that were just shot down from
Speaker 1: some Norwegian jets allegedly. We're gonna read about that. America
Speaker 1: has just recently launched their new shiny rocket toy. I'll
Speaker 1: read a little bit about that one as well, And
Speaker 1: of course we are going to be talking a good
Speaker 1: amount about the situation in Iran. There's a lot it.
Speaker 1: Basically every two hours, it seems, there's new things that
Speaker 1: have come out, new information, and all of these things.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've gotten a lot of shit in
Speaker 1: the past from my analysis of how America's military stacks
Speaker 1: up against every other military on Earth. And I understand
Speaker 1: that I'm biased on this, I get it. I'm an American,
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran, so clearly I have a little bit
Speaker 1: of a home field advantage bias when it comes to
Speaker 1: American military mit as opposed to anyone else on earth.
Speaker 1: What I will say, and I remember, just a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, as a matter of effact, one of
Speaker 1: the cult members was disagreeing with my stance in the
Speaker 1: comments section, which is fine. He very well within his
Speaker 1: rights to disagree with me, it's cool. And he had
Speaker 1: made a mention about how I said that Canada's military
Speaker 1: was laughable and how like, pretty much if the Canadian
Speaker 1: civilian population wanted to rise up and secede or something
Speaker 1: along these lines, they could absolutely do it because the
Speaker 1: Canadian military is laughable and he had made a mention
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, you think they're so crap
Speaker 1: and this and this. They have the air force, they
Speaker 1: have this, they have this, and I was like, bro,
Speaker 1: they're twenty seventh on Earth. They're behind Algeria and Vietnam.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I stand by my statement. The Communaitian military
Speaker 1: is a laughing stock and so fine, cool, cool. The
Speaker 1: Iranian military and I'm not looking at it as of
Speaker 1: right now because it's it is currently a shell of
Speaker 1: what it was three weeks ago. But just for the
Speaker 1: sake of conversation, I looked up where the uh on
Speaker 1: Tony says Canada has beaten the USA at war twice,
Speaker 1: but not since eighteen fourteenth. Yo, okay, okay, we're talking
Speaker 1: about since the advent of jet propulsion and shit, Tony,
Speaker 1: come on now. But but I mean, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that can is a bunch of pussies either, Like,
Speaker 1: just so we're all clear here, I'm saying that the
Speaker 1: Canadian military as opposed to the American military as of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty I'll just use twenty twenty five as an example,
Speaker 1: right because we're still early. In twenty twenty six, they
Speaker 1: were ranked twenty seventh, which is not a good look
Speaker 1: for our northern neighbors, right, But whatever, fun they're doing
Speaker 1: them and they're not a threat. I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is Iran's military was ranked sixteenth on Earth.
Speaker 1: As of last year, Israel's was ranked fifteenth. So just
Speaker 1: we're all clear. I know a lot of people think
Speaker 1: that Iran's military was like super capable in this and
Speaker 1: all not really like they There's a massive gap between
Speaker 1: the number five spot and the number two spot in
Speaker 1: the American mil or not or excuse me, the world
Speaker 1: military might it's it's not close by any stretch of
Speaker 1: the imagination. And I understand that America is like away
Speaker 1: outlier as far as the statistics and figures go. But
Speaker 1: even still, Israel was ranked number fifteen, Iran was ranked
Speaker 1: number sixteen, and because of the way, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: they've up there. No no, no, we're not gonna get in
Speaker 1: Iran right now. We got other things we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about first. Then we're gonna get to the Iranian conversation.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to break all this down with y'all
Speaker 1: in here. A little back and forth on it for
Speaker 1: anybody who is just tuning in on the Spotify or
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast. What you need to do is go
Speaker 1: to Patreon dot com slash Cajun Knight. There's only one

Speaker 1: But yeah, if you want to get these shows commercial
Speaker 1: free and support the Cajun Night and come be a
Speaker 1: part of the conversation Cajun Night patroon dot com slash
Speaker 1: kJ night. That is anyway, all right, without further ado,
Speaker 1: let us get to it. So we're gonna start off
Speaker 1: talking about the Clinton I don't want to say deposition.
Speaker 1: They use that term. It's more like a cross examination.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. So these are the top
Speaker 1: ten moments from them anyway, from the Bill Clinton deposition
Speaker 1: of Epstein. All right, So number one, Clinton admits that
Speaker 1: he took plane trips with Epstein. All right, fair enough, Yes,
Speaker 1: he said I did take those plane trips with him.
Speaker 1: And you have the right to ask those questions. Thank
Speaker 1: you for asking the prosecutor if he's got the right
Speaker 1: to ask the fucking prosecuting questions. That's yeah, dude. He
Speaker 1: tried really hard to come across as just this good
Speaker 1: old man trying to be somebody's Paul Paul. I don't
Speaker 1: really remember. That was so long ago, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was. I guess I was there. I
Speaker 1: don't really know. And it's like, dude, no, no, there
Speaker 1: is way too many pictures, there's way too many videos.
Speaker 1: There's way too many times that you were on that plane,
Speaker 1: and those flight logs have been released, so like this,
Speaker 1: and you flew there once or twice to kind of
Speaker 1: make a little deal happen. You were a frequent flyer
Speaker 1: on the Lolita Express. But anyway, moving on number two,
Speaker 1: Clinton was asked about allegedly getting backrubs during flights with Epstein.
Speaker 1: Clinton was asked during his deposition about a young woman
Speaker 1: who went on a two thousand trip on the year
Speaker 1: two thousand trip to Africa. Was she or any other
Speaker 1: young female on that trip underage at that time? He says, no,
Speaker 1: not that I'm aware of. He said that he did
Speaker 1: get a back rub while I was on the trip. Again,
Speaker 1: it's again, you could just plead the fifth You could
Speaker 1: do that, but you're not gonna but all right. Number
Speaker 1: three Clinton denied that he ever visited Epstein's island. Now
Speaker 1: that is an understood falsehood. He said, did you ever
Speaker 1: visit Epstein's Little Saint James Island? He said no. Now, now,
Speaker 1: once again, y'all understand, there are is pictures of him
Speaker 1: at Epstein's Island. There's pictures of him in hot tubs.
Speaker 1: There is pictures of him doing those things that we
Speaker 1: can see with our eyeballs, and somehow it's it's yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: run with it. You know he We have no idea.
Speaker 1: He just made that up. I don't know. I never
Speaker 1: went to the island anyway. Moving on, Clinton says he
Speaker 1: wrote Epstein a letter for his fiftieth birthday. Yes, why
Speaker 1: did you write this letter, the interview asked Clinton. He says,
Speaker 1: why did I because I was requested to contribute a
Speaker 1: nice letter for his birthday book. Well, that's that's a vibe.
Speaker 1: Number six Clinton said the letter he wrote was a
Speaker 1: was not a bad letter. It doesn't matter. You're showing
Speaker 1: familiarity with the guy. Number seven Bill, by the way,
Speaker 1: this all Bill, not killery. Bill confirmed the hot tub
Speaker 1: pictures taken of him and Brunei. During the deposition, Clinton
Speaker 1: was asked about a picture of him in a hot tub,
Speaker 1: which was taken in Brunei. Do you call the details
Speaker 1: of this photo or call the photo being taken? Clinton
Speaker 1: as he said, no, I don't think I ever knew
Speaker 1: the photo was taken. That's ridiculous because he posed for it.
Speaker 1: But okay, and there's multiple it's not like just one picture.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right. Number eight. Clinton described his relationship
Speaker 1: with Epstein as cordial during the time. I was cordial
Speaker 1: when he asked. When he was asked about Clinton or
Speaker 1: Epstein rather, Number nine, Clinton said he is coming up
Speaker 1: on his eightieth birthday, but said he tries to remember details,
Speaker 1: like he brought this up like, oh, I'm getting old,
Speaker 1: eighty years old, but I'll try to remember what. Okay, Like, bro,
Speaker 1: it's a bad look, you know, damn good and well,
Speaker 1: especially this famous of a case and this dude who
Speaker 1: literally saved you and your wives careers. You're telling me
Speaker 1: you have no real recollection of him. That's interesting. Clinton
Speaker 1: described Epstein as a vacuum cleaner. Okay, so well, at first,
Speaker 1: he really seemed to be like a vacuum cleaner, like
Speaker 1: he really wanted information. There was nothing overtly manipulative about it.
Speaker 1: So for those that don't know, and I've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, and y'all co look this up. When old
Speaker 1: Billium and Killery left the White House in you know,
Speaker 1: ninety nine, two thousand, Bush takes over, you know, you
Speaker 1: know the jam, right, it should be noted they were
Speaker 1: broke when they left the White House. And I don't mean, like,
Speaker 1: you know, filing for bankruptcy, but they were just a
Speaker 1: few years away from doing so. And that is because
Speaker 1: of poor money management while they were in office. That's fine,
Speaker 1: this happens. Epstein is the one that took them and
Speaker 1: put them on the speaking circuit and they started doing
Speaker 1: all these big speaking engagements and getting paid very handsomely
Speaker 1: for their time. He's also the reason why either of
Speaker 1: them have written book, because he's the one that put
Speaker 1: them in contact with transcribers and publishing houses. So if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Epstein, Bill and Killery would be absolutely
Speaker 1: destitute at this time. So that's why it's so crazy
Speaker 1: to hear Old Billiams say that he didn't really know
Speaker 1: the guy. They were just kind of cordial you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in a hot tub with him in Brunei
Speaker 1: with these topless girls and all these things. Yes, that
Speaker 1: was a frequent flyer on his plane. Yes there's evidence
Speaker 1: of me at his island. Yes, all these things. But
Speaker 1: like I don't know, he was just kind of a
Speaker 1: face in the crowd, to be honest with you, it's
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing to him and insulting to us in my
Speaker 1: own personal opinion. But anyway, that's something that took place
Speaker 1: this week. Now, moving on, Trump administration launches US military
Speaker 1: operations in Ecuador, so this is from Al Jazeera. Critics
Speaker 1: have questioned the increasing scope and deadly consequences of US
Speaker 1: anti narcotics operations in Latin America. So for anybody who
Speaker 1: does not know, basically, do you remember how Trump reclassified
Speaker 1: cartels as terrorist organizations, which I'm in favor of, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. And it's not even because of
Speaker 1: some sort of a war on drugs. It's not because
Speaker 1: of the illegals that are making their way across the
Speaker 1: border whatever else they have done. By all definitions state
Speaker 1: sponsored well, I al wanst say state sponsored terrorism, although
Speaker 1: they kind of run the states. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: we're pinching here is here. My point is they have
Speaker 1: done terroristic things like committing violence for political aims. That
Speaker 1: is the textbook definition of terrorism. They are more ruthless
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, what better armed and trained
Speaker 1: than their local military or police force. So I got
Speaker 1: no problem with just looking at the geography of it.
Speaker 1: You had to say that Iran is a threat to us.
Speaker 1: We could argue about this. To say that, you know,
Speaker 1: North Korea is a threat to US, I disagree, But
Speaker 1: there's some people that truly believe that. To say that
Speaker 1: the cartels are a threat to the mainland United States,
Speaker 1: I think that's actually a way closer to home situation,
Speaker 1: and I do believe that they are a threat to
Speaker 1: us and our our safety. Sam, you have your hand
Speaker 1: raised before I read this article. What you got? I
Speaker 1: was gonna say.
Speaker 2: If people don't want to think that cartels are territors,
Speaker 2: NAT remind you that after Pablo Spargat got x out
Speaker 2: from UH the UH the Senate of Columbia because he
Speaker 2: was trying to become el president, the he was he
Speaker 2: got he at this point he was already being investigated
Speaker 2: as an arcle. He he was already getting uh, he
Speaker 2: was already the dawn of his family and everything, and
Speaker 2: he's already being investigated for the drugs and everything.
Speaker 1: So he decides, you know what, they made a mock
Speaker 1: of me.
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a blow up this planing with that
Speaker 2: that the president is flying on.
Speaker 1: And he does.
Speaker 2: He kills He not only does he kill the president,
Speaker 2: he kills a playing for I think two hundred something people.
Speaker 2: And not just that, but he also had his guys
Speaker 2: go throughout metay In and just gotten down a ton
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 1: He did that for sure, and that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and that was Escobar, and I understand that he was
Speaker 1: particularly ruthless and all these things. However, the current cartel,
Speaker 1: that's what I was about to say, he's he is
Speaker 1: pretty tame compared to the people that are running the
Speaker 1: cartels these days. And it's not even just because he's
Speaker 1: willing to commit acts of violence on his own people.
Speaker 1: He's willing to do that across country borders and even
Speaker 1: into the United States. So moving on here, So, the
Speaker 1: United States government has announced that it is collaborating with
Speaker 1: Ecuador to combat terrorists and they use that quote unquote
Speaker 1: in South American country. On Wednesday, US Southern Command, the
Speaker 1: military unit overseeing operations in Central and South America, posted
Speaker 1: that the joint efforts had already begun. In Ecuador. Ecuador
Speaker 1: announces the thirty percent tariff on Columbia over drug trafficking.
Speaker 1: One survivor reported that two was killed in a US
Speaker 1: boat strike in the Eastern Pacific, and Ecuador hikes tariffs
Speaker 1: on Colombian imports to fifty percent starting March first. Okay, so,
Speaker 1: on March third, Ecuadorian and US military forces launched operations
Speaker 1: against designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador. That's from General Francis Donovan.
Speaker 1: The operations are powerful, are a powerful example of the
Speaker 1: commitment of the partners in Latin America and the Caribbean
Speaker 1: to combat the scourge of narco terrorism. The statement was
Speaker 1: accompanied by video footage of military helicopters taking off, as
Speaker 1: well as black and white aero surveillance imagery of figures
Speaker 1: boarding helicopters on the ground. Now, I saw those videos,
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's in this article. But you
Speaker 1: can find them and it's not like you have to
Speaker 1: like nowhere to look. No, No, they're on YouTube. Pretty
Speaker 1: easy to find them. I'm not one hundred percent that's
Speaker 1: Delta Force or Green Berets or what. What I am
Speaker 1: saying is that because these terrorists are yeah, the cartels
Speaker 1: are listed as terrorist organizations, the United States can now
Speaker 1: use Tier one assets against them, i e. The snatching
Speaker 1: of Maduro. So if that is true, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if these are Green Berets. I'm not sure if these
Speaker 1: are Delta guys. I'm not sure what, but I do
Speaker 1: believe these are something of the Special Operations Community, which yeah,
Speaker 1: they're going in and they're doing something in Ecuador right now,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're gonna be hearing the echoes
Speaker 1: of that over the next few days, if not weeks,
Speaker 1: So stand by for that same way. For the record,
Speaker 1: remember a few months back, we talked about how Trump
Speaker 1: had openly announced that the CIA was in Venezuela conducting
Speaker 1: some sort of operation with like two months later, Maduro
Speaker 1: gets snatched up. While these dudes are listening to uh
Speaker 1: Love Sosa. I'm just throwing it out like it's a thing.
Speaker 1: And so right now we have some of our guys,
Speaker 1: top tier dudes in Ecuador. I have a feeling we're
Speaker 1: gonna be hearing about that very soon. Anyway, moving on,
Speaker 1: the announcement appeared to be a part of US President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's broader push against criminal networks and drug cartels
Speaker 1: in Latin America. The scope of the Ecuadorian operation is
Speaker 1: not yet known, but several US news outlets have reported
Speaker 1: that it is so far limited to supporting Ecuadorian troops
Speaker 1: through logistics and intelligence, citing government sources. Yeah, right right.
Speaker 1: At a Wednesday news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karline Levitt,
Speaker 1: I really am starting to not like that woman. Also,
Speaker 1: I haven't really been a huge fan of her. The
Speaker 1: more I listen to her speak, it's like, man, you
Speaker 1: just you just suck. Anyway, praise the joint operation together.
Speaker 1: We are taking decisive action to confront narco terrorists who
Speaker 1: have long inflected terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout
Speaker 1: the hemisphere, she told reporters, So the military campaign against cartel.
Speaker 1: Since taking office for a second time last year, Trump
Speaker 1: has moved on moved to label multiple prominent cartels as
Speaker 1: foreign terrorist organizations, a term typically reserved for armed groups
Speaker 1: with political aims, which again, I do believe that the
Speaker 1: cartels have political aims. His administration has praised those labels
Speaker 1: with or repaired those labels, with an increasingly militaristic approach to
Speaker 1: combating drug trafficking, including through the bombing of suspected smuggling vessels.
Speaker 1: Critics have pointed out, however, that the drug trafficking is
Speaker 1: considered a crime under international law, not an act of war,
Speaker 1: and such lethal actions can be considered extra judicial killings.
Speaker 1: At least forty four aero strikes have been carried out
Speaker 1: against alleged drug smuggling boats and over maritime vessels in
Speaker 1: the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean. The result has
Speaker 1: been one hundred and fifty known deaths. The identities of
Speaker 1: the victims have yet to be confirmed by US officials,
Speaker 1: and no charges against them have been made public, nor
Speaker 1: will they. Two survivors were recovered from an October attack
Speaker 1: on a submarine were quickly repatriated to their home countries,
Speaker 1: Ecuador and Columbia, where they were sub quickly released some
Speaker 1: family members of the Columbia in Trinida and Tobago. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: they have claimed that the deceased for fishermen or informal
Speaker 1: workers transitioning between Venezuela and nearby islands, not drug traffickers.
Speaker 1: The Trump administration has also launched military actions on Venezuelan soil,
Speaker 1: one in late December and a second one on January third.
Speaker 1: In both cases, it justified the strikes as law enforcement
Speaker 1: actions against drug traffickers. The first targeted a doc allegedly
Speaker 1: used in the transitional gang Trenda a Rawa. The second
Speaker 1: culminated against the adduction of Venezuelan President Maduro, who was
Speaker 1: subsequently imprisoned in charge with drug trafficking and weapons charges
Speaker 1: in a US federal court. That's also crazy, y'all. That's
Speaker 1: that's crazy out loud. If you're gonna blame him for
Speaker 1: the drug situation, okay, the Cartel de Soul or the
Speaker 1: Sun Cartel, they claimed that they are working directly for him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and in Trenda raw it does the same thing. And
Speaker 1: fine that there's enough evidence on that, bro. Weapons charges.
Speaker 1: He's the president of a sovereign nation. He can have guns,
Speaker 1: he can have tanks. What are we talking about here, dude,
Speaker 1: It's only he was building nukes. No one has ever
Speaker 1: thought that Venezuela was trying to develop a nuclear program
Speaker 1: like that. That's craziness. So what fucking weapons charges? Are
Speaker 1: they bringing on the guy. I'm just saying that's of
Speaker 1: all the things that's dumb anyway, Oh God, Sam, what.
Speaker 2: I could see them saying, well, Fatana has killed people,
Speaker 2: therefore it could be a weapon of mass destruction.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's true. I have heard Trump say that.
Speaker 2: And I mean I personally know people who have died
Speaker 2: because I mean that's not that's face. It out come
Speaker 2: from a colorful, fucking town.
Speaker 1: No, I got got buddies. I got two buddies that
Speaker 1: accidentally odd on fit and they didn't even know that's
Speaker 1: what they were getting. So like, yeah, uh, my.
Speaker 2: Buddy, uh I grew up playing right next door. His
Speaker 2: grandmother lived next mine. His name was bad uh him
Speaker 2: and uh he passed away. He did he welded a
Speaker 2: lot of cocaine and his uh well he did it
Speaker 2: like he just he was at the dope Man's house.
Speaker 2: Him and dope man just got a thing. They both
Speaker 2: did a lot. They both died. Then a couple of
Speaker 2: months later, my friend Bailey, him and his buddy do
Speaker 2: a lot of cocaine and they're actually found by their
Speaker 2: boss in the company truck.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, hey, weird hot take, And I'm not I mean,
Speaker 1: r I p to your buddy. But also maybe let's
Speaker 1: not do bumps at work. I mean, I don't do cocaine. No,
Speaker 1: I know, you don't know. You never need to try coke,
Speaker 1: not even once. But anyway, was the good old cokey
Speaker 1: col There you go. But yeah, maybe the FANDOL is
Speaker 1: the weapons charges that are being brought against them. It's
Speaker 1: very possible.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The operation was likewise condemned as a violation of international law,
Speaker 1: with experts in the United Nations warning that it was
Speaker 1: part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern of unprovoked
Speaker 1: military aggression. Anyway, we're not gonna get into the rest
Speaker 1: of it here. It's just a thing that I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring up. I am not saying that Ecuador is
Speaker 1: going to become a new war fighting front. I am
Speaker 1: saying that it is extremely possible that we're gonna hear
Speaker 1: about some sort of crazy military operation in Ecuador. And
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's gonna be the removal of
Speaker 1: the Ecuadorian president because he is very well aware of
Speaker 1: what's going on, and he is he and Trump are
Speaker 1: talking like, please come in here, get rid of these
Speaker 1: cartel dudes. What's up. I just have a feeling that
Speaker 1: we're going to start seeing some more of these operations
Speaker 1: take place all over the Central American countries. So too
Speaker 1: for thought. Now, I wanted to bring this next article up,
Speaker 1: and I'm not one hundred percent sure how confirmed this
Speaker 1: really is is and you know, I'm hoping that we
Speaker 1: can learn about it together here. Okay, So apparently Norwegian
Speaker 1: F thirty fives engaged Russian Knights Soue thirty fives during
Speaker 1: a strategic bombing escort mission. Now here's the wider implications
Speaker 1: of this. The Norwegians are a part of the American
Speaker 1: F thirty five program, all right. They they are one
Speaker 1: of the countries that we have approved to buy our
Speaker 1: F thirty fives. This is one of our premier jets. Right.
Speaker 1: That being said, the SUE thirty five is considered Russia's
Speaker 1: answer to the F thirty five. They claim that the
Speaker 1: Suite thirty fives are better than the F thirty fives
Speaker 1: in every possible manner. Okay, And if you're not like
Speaker 1: a person that's into planes and shit, I'm not exactly
Speaker 1: as well versed as a lot of people are. Let's
Speaker 1: put it like this. This is the AK versus AR conversation. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're a gun person, you might understand what I'm
Speaker 1: saying here. There are some people that believe the AR
Speaker 1: fifteen is the greatest weapon design platform to ever be created.
Speaker 1: There are some that believe the AK forty seven is
Speaker 1: the greatest weapons design platform ever created. Listen now, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to open that conversation right now. I think
Speaker 1: they both have their highs and lows points, but beside
Speaker 1: the point. The difference here is that one of these
Speaker 1: countries claims that this is like far superior, and the
Speaker 1: other one can actually back the claim. So Norwegian F
Speaker 1: thirty fives engaged with the Russian Nights Suit thirty fives
Speaker 1: during your strategic bombing escort, and let's talk about it here.
Speaker 1: So the Royal Norwegian Air Force deployed two F thirty
Speaker 1: five fifth Gen fighters to engage a pair of Russian
Speaker 1: TU ninety five MS strategic bombers and their Suit thirty
Speaker 1: five fighter escorts in international airspace over Barns C. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to zoom in on this a little bit
Speaker 1: on my eyes and what they used to be. I apologize. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's god do come on now, come on, hey, here
Speaker 1: we go. Who's a bright penny? Moving on, the F
Speaker 1: thirty fives established positive identification, maintained a controlled escort profile,
Speaker 1: and sustained continuous tracking while the Russian aircraft remained outside
Speaker 1: Norwegian airspace. The engagement was particularly notable due to the
Speaker 1: deployment of SU thirty fives from the Russian Knights, which
Speaker 1: have primarily been deployed for aerobatics at air shows and
Speaker 1: military parades. Which that's what I'm saying. They're trying to
Speaker 1: show it off like it's their premier fighter. Look at
Speaker 1: all the things you could do. It's like yeah, and
Speaker 1: moving on. Uh, Rather than their frontline operation duties. The
Speaker 1: Knights placed a particularly high emphasis on utilizing these two
Speaker 1: thirty five's unique flight performance attributes, including the extreme levels
Speaker 1: of maneuverability provided its three dimensional thrust vectory and capabilities. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Royal Norwegian Air Force was the first service in
Speaker 1: the world to fully convert from fielding fourth to fifth
Speaker 1: gen fighters retiring a civil or Jesus wow, I was
Speaker 1: by I say said War era excuse me, Cold War
Speaker 1: era F sixteen's to operate the F thirty five A.
Speaker 1: These have been involved in engagements with Russian The article
Speaker 1: just jumped on me. Oh shit, Okay, there we go.
Speaker 1: These have been involved in engagements with Russian military aircraft
Speaker 1: at higher levels of intensity than the F thirty five
Speaker 1: is fielded by any other country. Beyond the barrets see
Speaker 1: the Air Force in December twenty twenty five concluded a
Speaker 1: deployment of F thirty five's as part of an integrated
Speaker 1: air and missile defense mission in Resasau Airport. I'm barely
Speaker 1: speaking American English here, y'all. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: fuck that word's supposed to beside the point, some word
Speaker 1: with way too many consonants and nots enough vowels airport
Speaker 1: just over seventy kilometers from Poland's border with Ukraine. Seeing
Speaker 1: the consonant people, they really hate vowels in their countries anyway.
Speaker 1: With the Norwegian Defense Ministry reporting that fighters presence quote
Speaker 1: supports the protection of Polish airspace and a key logistical
Speaker 1: hub for a to Ukraine on a we got two
Speaker 1: that aren't muted. I got you, got you anyway, procurement
Speaker 1: of the F thirty five's has significantly shifted the balance
Speaker 1: of power over the Barren Sea, where Russian's Northern Fleet
Speaker 1: MAG thirty one interceptors previously held overwhelming dominance against Norway's
Speaker 1: F sixteen's. Although the Soviet Union had been a peer
Speaker 1: level competitor to the United States and development of fifth
Speaker 1: generation fighters, I respectfully disagree, but moving on. Following the
Speaker 1: state's disintegration in the collapse of the highly ambitious MiG
Speaker 1: one point four to two fighter program, the Russian aerospace
Speaker 1: forces were forced to rely heavily on modernized fourth gen designs.
Speaker 1: The Suite thirty five is one such aircraft. While not
Speaker 1: and while significantly more advanced than the Soviets Suit twenty
Speaker 1: seven on which its design was based, its ability to
Speaker 1: operate on a peer level to fighters such as the
Speaker 1: F thirty five remains limited. Yes, that's it. It's not
Speaker 1: even a fair comparison here. Again, I know that I'm
Speaker 1: showing my bias. That doesn't take away from the facts
Speaker 1: on the ground here. Significant discrepancies remain not only in
Speaker 1: their survivability due to the Suite thirty five's almost total
Speaker 1: lack of stealth features, but also in their avionics, with
Speaker 1: the F thirty five's data links and passive sensors providing
Speaker 1: a particularly distinct Jesus, this article keeps jumping on me
Speaker 1: distinct advantage, while the Suite thirty five's late nineteen nineties
Speaker 1: data link technologies are far from cutting edge. So again,
Speaker 1: the Russians have been going on and on about how
Speaker 1: like this is their their latest and greatest when compared
Speaker 1: neck to neck against an American F thirty five, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not even a fair conversation. I'm not saying they
Speaker 1: can't do some solid maneuverability and it's excellent, but as
Speaker 1: far as like battlefield capabilities and like if a dogfight
Speaker 1: was to actually happen, it would be very quick anyway.
Speaker 1: The Russian aerospace forces have significantly increased the SUE thirty
Speaker 1: five scale of production from twenty twenty five are due
Speaker 1: to the unprecedented exports successes that were achieved that year.
Speaker 1: Deliveries are reported in December, early November, late September, mid August,
Speaker 1: late June, mid May and late March, while numbers have
Speaker 1: grown more rapidly. The fighters were in late July confirmed
Speaker 1: who have integrated the new R seventy seven M air
Speaker 1: to air missile, which has revolutionized there beyond visual range
Speaker 1: combat capabilities and bridge the gap with the latest AIM
Speaker 1: one twenty D missiles integrated into the US Air Forces
Speaker 1: F thirty five's Although lacking comparable stealth capabilities or similarly
Speaker 1: advanced avionics to the F thirty five, the SUE thirty
Speaker 1: five benefits from a much larger and more powerful radar,
Speaker 1: a far superior flight performance, a much longer engagement range,
Speaker 1: and a far greater weapons carrying capacity. Again, it's all
Speaker 1: that's really good, but if you can't hide yourself, then
Speaker 1: you make yourself an easy target. The Suite thirty five
Speaker 1: has been more intensely combat tested in air to air
Speaker 1: engagements than any post Cold War era fighter type, where
Speaker 1: the reports from November twenty twenty five having indicated that
Speaker 1: fighters had forced you Krainian Air Forces new delivered F
Speaker 1: sixteens and Mirage two thousand fighters to operate exclusively at
Speaker 1: low altitudes in the aerospace far behind the front lines. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna deny that an F sixteen versus
Speaker 1: a Suite thirty five, that's that's not going to go
Speaker 1: in the F sixteen's favor. But we're also talking about
Speaker 1: a pre Cold War era, or not pre Cold a
Speaker 1: Cold War era fighter jet versus a post Cold War
Speaker 1: era fighter jet, Like that's yeah, We're talking about like
Speaker 1: a fourth versus a fifth gen fighter. That's yeah. Obviously, anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm continuing while minimum while minimizing the possibility of Russian targeting.
Speaker 1: This is also limited the kinds of support the Ukrainian
Speaker 1: aircraft are able to provide to their forces. Ukrainian sources
Speaker 1: have consistently warned that the new Western supplied F sixteen
Speaker 1: and Rage two thousand fighters are wholly incapable of matching
Speaker 1: these Suite thirty five's capabilities. Pressure on the SUE thirty
Speaker 1: five fleet has diminished as the Aerospace forces have expanded
Speaker 1: the fleet to of more advanced to fifty seven fighters
Speaker 1: and bringing them into service at an acceleration rate with
Speaker 1: incrementally superior capabilities. So anyway, it seems like it was
Speaker 1: just an escorting situation. But even still, why would the
Speaker 1: Russian Knights, which are usually these people are reserved for
Speaker 1: like their air shows. This is like their version of
Speaker 1: the Blue Angels, you know what I'm saying. And it's
Speaker 1: not like the well, the Blue Angels would be like
Speaker 1: the greatest fighter pilots. It's like they're good at their
Speaker 1: at platform for you know, shows and shit. Why would
Speaker 1: the Russian Knights who are flying two thirty five's be
Speaker 1: sent escorting a bomber mission unless Russia has no other
Speaker 1: options than they have to call in the reserves, if
Speaker 1: you will, to maintain their battlefield presence. I don't know
Speaker 1: that for a fact, Just speculating here, but it is
Speaker 1: a thing. It is a talking point now as we're
Speaker 1: still talking about kind of the outside moving inside thing here.
Speaker 1: This is from Business Insider. China is moving toward all
Speaker 1: nuclear submarine construction in a major strategic shift. This is
Speaker 1: from the US Naval intelligence chief. Let's talk about it. So,
Speaker 1: China's navy moving towards all nuclear submarine construction, the US
Speaker 1: Navy intelligence lead said, describing a long term shift in
Speaker 1: how Beijing builds its undersea force as it expands its
Speaker 1: capacity to produce more vessels in the coming decades. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just got into it with somebody about this as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. So China's navy as of this moment,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are gonna say that
Speaker 1: they have the largest navy on Earth by tonnage, but
Speaker 1: not by actual viable military craft. They are aiming to
Speaker 1: have a world class navy by twenty forty nine, which
Speaker 1: they very well might achieve. I believe they can't. They're
Speaker 1: really good at their production, right, although you can look
Speaker 1: at a lot of their civil service projects and a
Speaker 1: lot of it was done cutting corners. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of bridges that have fallen, a couple
Speaker 1: of dams that have blown, and it wasn't from terroristic things.
Speaker 1: It was from just piss poor craftsmanship and a little
Speaker 1: bit some natural disaster thrown in. And I get that.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I do believe they're going to
Speaker 1: take special care to do their military might the right way, right,
Speaker 1: like the nuclear subs. I don't think they're going to
Speaker 1: have like shitty craftsmanship while putting together their nuclear subs
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, they
Speaker 1: are currently not up to the snow if you will,
Speaker 1: of the American Navy. I believe they can get there.
Speaker 1: They absolutely can. But now they're talking about moving more
Speaker 1: into the nuclear subconstruction, which hey, who knows. China operates
Speaker 1: one of the largest submarine forces in the world, but
Speaker 1: it's most commonly it's mostly composed of diesel electric vessels.
Speaker 1: Expanding its nuclear fleet would allow Chinese submarines to stay
Speaker 1: submerged for longer and operate farther from home with out surfacing,
Speaker 1: potentially complicating US naval operations in the Pacific and beyond.
Speaker 1: So who knows, right, I do believe that China is
Speaker 1: going to be making more of a push to nuclear
Speaker 1: power as most countries are, because it is, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the best power source that we could come up with. Right,
Speaker 1: fancy rock makes electricity, it's good things. But I don't
Speaker 1: know it's very possible because and the reason why I
Speaker 1: brought this up where I did, because we're about to
Speaker 1: shift the conversation towards Iran and the warfront and all
Speaker 1: these things. A lot of nations believed that if Iran
Speaker 1: ever went to war, then China and Russia would be
Speaker 1: right there in the mix to help them out. And
Speaker 1: there is a report saying that I think it was
Speaker 1: ten Chinese why twenty jets or planes rather made a
Speaker 1: run into Iran somehow flew under the radar bypass getting
Speaker 1: intercepted by anybody, and gave them this really really advanced
Speaker 1: radar system. I don't know if these are confirmed reports
Speaker 1: or not. I've heard a few statements about it, and
Speaker 1: that's the thing you gotta try. You gotta try to
Speaker 1: test the source because on the one hand, the Western
Speaker 1: world would never acknowledge that somehow a fleet of Japanese
Speaker 1: planes made it through their air blockade and dropped off
Speaker 1: these things to Iran. And on the other side, that
Speaker 1: could absolutely be a propaganda piece from Iran or from
Speaker 1: China to say, look how superior we are, we were
Speaker 1: able to slip through the blockade. I don't know as
Speaker 1: of this moment. I tried doing some real deep digging
Speaker 1: into this before we started this episode tonight. I can't
Speaker 1: find any kind of verifiable proof one way or another.
Speaker 1: So if one of y'all, if y'all could see on
Speaker 1: y'all's in y'a could drop it in the comments, we'll see, Okay,
Speaker 1: look at Chinese why twenty planes slip air blockade and
Speaker 1: bring support to Iran? I would be very cure. I
Speaker 1: y'all can find something verifiable. So anyway, but now let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Iranian situation. So and Tony, you and
Speaker 1: I were talking about this last night, as far as
Speaker 1: possibly the Kurds rising up and doing some dirt doing
Speaker 1: some work to try to get their own nation. And
Speaker 1: I thought about this too, and me and you, I
Speaker 1: think were on the same page that the Kurds are
Speaker 1: probably going to take this opportunity to do some things. Well,
Speaker 1: it looks like they're doing it, and this might be
Speaker 1: at the behest of American Israel. So here's the deal.
Speaker 1: We don't want to send ground troops into Iran. We don't.
Speaker 1: Would we be willing to, I'm sure, but we don't
Speaker 1: want to, especially if we could just arm the Kurds
Speaker 1: and let them do the ground invasion for us. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is the case, but think think
Speaker 1: back to once upon a time when we had the
Speaker 1: mujah Haden that we didn't want to do a ground
Speaker 1: invasion into Soviet occupied Afghanistan. We wanted the mujah Haden
Speaker 1: to do that for us. So we armed them and
Speaker 1: we equipped them, and we trained them a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then they got after it and won. Because well,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's not to the to the detriment
Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union. To be honest with you, nobody's
Speaker 1: been able to successfully occupy Afghanistan like that's we couldn't
Speaker 1: even do it, Like I get it, but just throwing
Speaker 1: it out here. Could it be that we are about
Speaker 1: to try to use the Kurds to do the ground
Speaker 1: forces work for us. I think this might be playing
Speaker 1: out in real time, y'all. Let's go ahead and watch
Speaker 1: this clip and then we'll read more about it.
Speaker 4: This just in it's big. A US official telling Fox
Speaker 4: thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched a ground defensive in Iran. Decimated, destroyed, defeated,
Speaker 4: all words the Pentagon used to describe Iran's various military
Speaker 4: forces on day five of Operation Epic Theory moments ago,
Speaker 4: President Trump touting its success.
Speaker 5: We're in a very strong position now, and their leadership
Speaker 5: is just rapidly going. Everybody that seems to want to
Speaker 5: be a leader, they end up dead. And it's an amazing,
Speaker 5: amazing thing that's taking place. The missiles are being wiped
Speaker 5: out rapidly, their launchers are being wiped out. They're attacking
Speaker 5: their neighbors. They're attacking there in some cases allies or
Speaker 5: not so long ago allies. And you know, it's really
Speaker 5: a nation that was out of control, and they would
Speaker 5: have used it on us if we let them.
Speaker 4: The Secretary of War says, it's just the beginning.
Speaker 6: We are just getting started. We are accelerating, not decelerating.
Speaker 6: Iran's capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength
Speaker 6: grows fiercer, smarter, and utterly dominant. More bombers and more
Speaker 6: fighters are arriving just today. We can sustain this fight
Speaker 6: easily for as long as we need to.
Speaker 4: The White House reporting more than seventeen thousand Americans have
Speaker 4: returned home safely from the Middle East, and repeating the
Speaker 4: President's motivation for the operation.
Speaker 7: This is a rogue terrorist regime that has been threatening
Speaker 7: the United States, our allies, and our people for forty
Speaker 7: seven years. This is a president who has been remarkably
Speaker 7: consistent on this issue that Iran can never obtain a
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon. And the President tried peace through diplomacy exhaustively
Speaker 7: and extensively. He and his team gave it their best go,
Speaker 7: and the President ultimately came to the termination of that
Speaker 7: piece was not a pursuable path. The Iranian regime they
Speaker 7: want death, they want destruction, they want to kill Americans,
Speaker 7: and that's unacceptable to this president. It's intolerable to him
Speaker 7: as commander in chief.
Speaker 4: Here's the conflicts by the numbers so far. The US
Speaker 4: has hit over two thousand Iranian targets and destroyed more
Speaker 4: than twenty Iranian naval vessels. Iran has fired more than
Speaker 4: five hundred ballistic missiles and over two thousand drones. Reuter's
Speaker 4: reports that defense executives are planning to visit the White
Speaker 4: House to talk about accelerating weapons production amid fears of
Speaker 4: diminishing stockpiles. But that is a fear that today was
Speaker 4: dismissed by General Kine.
Speaker 8: The throttle is coming up, as the Secretary said, as
Speaker 8: opposed to ramping down. This will allow us to maintain
Speaker 8: consistent pressure on the adversary over the coming days, disrupt
Speaker 8: their launch timelines and imposed cost every day.
Speaker 1: Around the clock.
Speaker 8: I know there have been a lot of questions about munitions.
Speaker 8: We have sufficient precision munitions for the task at hand,
Speaker 8: both on the offense and defense.
Speaker 4: Meantime, Israel's air force has struck in Iran with over
Speaker 4: five thousand munitions since the start of the operation. The
Speaker 4: impact on Iran's stockpile is already tangible. Its ballistic missile
Speaker 4: launches down eighty eight percent since day one, and down
Speaker 4: twenty three percent in just the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: One way attack drone shots are down seventy three percent,
Speaker 4: a key objective in this conflict for President Trump wiping
Speaker 4: out Iran's navy. Today it appears he is closer to
Speaker 4: that goal after an American submarine sunk Iran's prize ship
Speaker 4: with a torpedo. It's one of the few instances of
Speaker 4: a sub doing so since World War Two.
Speaker 1: So, all right, let's talk about a few things that
Speaker 1: were brought up here. As far as Iran's capabilities, and
Speaker 1: we've talked about this. They have been building up their
Speaker 1: rockets and their missile stockpile for years, but they only
Speaker 1: have so many launchers, and the majority of the see
Speaker 1: that's the deal. That's why their stockpile or their their
Speaker 1: their shots fired so to speak, is down eighty six
Speaker 1: percent since day one. Actually, I'm gonna pull that back
Speaker 1: up on screen because that's a that's a very interesting
Speaker 1: statistic to look at here. So the decline in Iran's
Speaker 1: ballistic missile launches eighty six percent from the first day.
Speaker 1: Multiple reasons for that number one being we and by
Speaker 1: I do mean the I don't want to call it
Speaker 1: just Allied forces US in Israel. There you go. We
Speaker 1: strategically attacked their launch sites rather than their stockpile sites, right,
Speaker 1: And the reason for that is they've only got like
Speaker 1: one hundred realistically, and you could have a million rockets.
Speaker 1: If you have no way to launch them, they're not
Speaker 1: doing you any good. It's a glorified paperweight at that point, well,
Speaker 1: a very spicy paper weight. But nonetheless, so that being said,
Speaker 1: if we could shut down their launch capabilities, then that's it.
Speaker 1: We destroyed half of their launchers on day one. They
Speaker 1: were able to hide some of them and they were
Speaker 1: able to move them around. That's the deal, like their
Speaker 1: own trucks, right, that's why you launch and then you
Speaker 1: drive away. Before that you get caught. But we're we're
Speaker 1: taking most of them out. So yeah, twenty three percent
Speaker 1: in the last hour, that makes perfect sense. And also
Speaker 1: they're one way attack drone shots. We're talking about basically
Speaker 1: Kamakazi drones. That's down seventy three percent, and that's also
Speaker 1: because they don't have a vass stockpile of those. So
Speaker 1: with all of this being said, at this moment, it
Speaker 1: appears that we are in a war of attrition with Iran,
Speaker 1: and at the current rate of fire, Iran will only
Speaker 1: be able to hold out, like doing it to this
Speaker 1: level and the amount of shots fired and everything. I'm
Speaker 1: being very generous when I say a week, very generous
Speaker 1: when I say a week. And again it's not because
Speaker 1: they're running out of AMMO. It's like, basically, you have
Speaker 1: boxes and boxes of bullets, but you don't have a
Speaker 1: magazine or a gun anymore. Like the bullets at that
Speaker 1: point are not going to do you any good. So
Speaker 1: it's that's kind of what this is. We basically put
Speaker 1: a kink in the logistical chain of them being able
Speaker 1: to send ordinance anywhere outside. They did send some ordinance
Speaker 1: out though right They attacked are They attempted to attack
Speaker 1: quite a few places, multiple Middle Eastern countries, multiple United
Speaker 1: States bases and assets, including embassies. They even tried hitting
Speaker 1: a Royal Air Force base in Cyprus. That was a
Speaker 1: thing that took place. I saw something in France popped off.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that was a local terrorist situation.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that was some sort of an Iranian
Speaker 1: fired munition. I don't think they have the range for that.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's so interesting how all this is
Speaker 1: going on and they just successfully hit Turkey. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that one here, because Turkey, whether y'all like
Speaker 1: them or hate them, they are a little bit of
Speaker 1: a bastard. They're the red headed step child of NATO.
Speaker 1: That doesn't take away from the fact that they are
Speaker 1: a NATO ally And if they decide to push for this,
Speaker 1: this could mean that they could Article five the NATO
Speaker 1: situation and now the Iranian conflict would become a NATO
Speaker 1: con inflict. This and I'm not saying this to get
Speaker 1: anybody scared or you know, trying to beat the war drum.
Speaker 1: I know I get accused of that a lot. This
Speaker 1: has the potential to become a World War three situation.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it's all gonna be centered
Speaker 1: around Iran. I'm saying that Iran is going to be
Speaker 1: the fucking Franz Ferdinand of World War Three. The Ayatola
Speaker 1: is gonna be the new Franz Ferdinand. How one thing
Speaker 1: chain reacted and led to so many other things, and
Speaker 1: now the whole world was at war with each other.
Speaker 1: It's potentially gonna go that way. I hope to god
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but there we have it. Sam. Your hand
Speaker 1: is raised, brother, what you.
Speaker 2: Got I don't know if you're away, But did you
Speaker 2: see the nine to eleven style attack on bet Bahrain?
Speaker 1: But Bahrain? Yeah, well, I didn't see a nine to
Speaker 1: eleven style attack. I saw that they had a rocket
Speaker 1: that got missed by our patriots because it is an
Speaker 1: imperfect system. It's great, but things do get missed, and
Speaker 1: it hit the fifth Fleet's headquarters and that's where four
Speaker 1: Americans were killed, although as of time recording, five Americans
Speaker 1: have been killed. So what are you talking about about Rain?
Speaker 2: Oh, there was a kamikaze drone. I say that it
Speaker 2: looked like a fucking plane, but not like a jet
Speaker 2: airline or anything. It that bit schmacked directly into a
Speaker 2: fucking skyscraper.
Speaker 1: I have not seen this.
Speaker 5: Ill.
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a lot of things happening at the same time.
Speaker 1: So if y'all have seen something I haven't seen, please
Speaker 1: send it in the chat and I will pull it
Speaker 1: up because I'm trying to keep my finger on as
Speaker 1: many pulses as possible here. But my god, there's so
Speaker 1: much happening all at once.
Speaker 2: It's and if I can't drop it in the chat,
Speaker 2: I'll send it to you, all.
Speaker 1: Right, appreciate you so anyway, let's talk about This is
Speaker 1: the Institute for the Study of War. This is I
Speaker 1: RAN Update Morning Special Report March fourth, twenty twenty sixth
Speaker 1: So as of time recording, this was accurate this morning.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot that happened today, but this is
Speaker 1: as close to current as I can get here. So
Speaker 1: key takeaways. The United States and Israel have continued to
Speaker 1: attack Iranian internal security institutions. The combined force also continued
Speaker 1: to target police stations, including an Iranian cyber police station
Speaker 1: in Kermansha in the Kurmancha Province. The US Israeli Combined
Speaker 1: Force continued to degrade Iran's ballistic missile and drone infrastructure
Speaker 1: in Iran. US Central Command or sent comm Commander Admiral
Speaker 1: Brad Cooper stated on March third that the combined force
Speaker 1: has severely degraded Iran's air defenses and destroyed hundreds of
Speaker 1: Iranian ballistic missiles, drones and launchers. The combined force continued
Speaker 1: to target Iranian defense industrial sites. The combined force struck
Speaker 1: at least two buildings in the Kojer Missile production complex
Speaker 1: and Hajar Haijawabad, Tehran Province. All right, word, the Combined
Speaker 1: force continued to attack Iranian naval capabilities. Sent Comm announced
Speaker 1: March fourth the United States had struck or sunk more
Speaker 1: than twenty Iranian ships. The US Central Command reported on
Speaker 1: March fourth that the number of ballistic missiles Iran had
Speaker 1: fired regionally has decreased. We talked about that already, the percentages.
Speaker 1: The Combined Forces designed its campaign to destroy around the ballistic
Speaker 1: missile capabilities before the force depletes its interceptor stockpiles. Has
Speaker 1: Blab has conducted several attacks targeting IDF positions and forces
Speaker 1: in northern Israel and southern Lebanon since iswctp's last data cutoff.
Speaker 1: Has Bela launched two rocket attacks targeting Israeli forces in
Speaker 1: northern Israel, as well as rocket attack targeting and Hafa
Speaker 1: Naval base on March third. So that's kind of the
Speaker 1: key takeaways of all this. Let's get into a little
Speaker 1: bit more here. So the United States and Israel have
Speaker 1: continued to attack Iranian internal security institutions. The IDEA have
Speaker 1: targeted the Internal Security Riot Control headquarters in western Tehran.
Speaker 1: The Idea of also targeted the eighth Tehran municipality, Beheshti
Speaker 1: Bajj Resistance Jesus Christ Regional Base in the fourteenth Tehran
Speaker 1: Municipality Regional Base in airstrikes on March third. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try, y'all. I'm trying my best to pronounce some
Speaker 1: of these words in an attempt to not screw myself over.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna skip ahead whenever I can, you know, anyway.
Speaker 1: On screen right now is a map of all the
Speaker 1: reported US and Israeli strikes targeting Law Enforcement Command headquarters
Speaker 1: in Iran. I mean it's it has not been pretty.
Speaker 1: There has been a massive amount of ordinance that has
Speaker 1: been dropped here. This is from satellite imagery March fourth,
Speaker 1: showing damage to the Ilam Province headquarters. This is Tehran proper.
Speaker 1: Iranian opposition media shared footage of explosions reportedly over the
Speaker 1: East Azerbaijanny Provincial headquarters. The LEC is the premier Iranian
Speaker 1: Internal Security and Law Enforcement Service provincial headquarters oversee the
Speaker 1: LEC units in their respective provinces. So a lot of
Speaker 1: these things have been understood. And this is another map
Speaker 1: I thought was rather u okay, not this one. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: There's another one where it talks about there is clearly
Speaker 1: footage that proves this. So the greens are confirmed air strikes,
Speaker 1: the blue is reported airstrikes, the yellow is report of
Speaker 1: explosion with footage. The fact that there's footage like there's
Speaker 1: that many people with cell phones and satellite imagery just
Speaker 1: making their way around to where it's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: we understand at least these places with the yellow have
Speaker 1: been struck by what by whom? Who knows, but we
Speaker 1: know that there's this going on. Now you can see
Speaker 1: Tehran and that's all confirmed air strikes. Tehran itself capital
Speaker 1: city has been getting the fuck up obviously, and then
Speaker 1: you've got all these other very critical infrastructural things that
Speaker 1: have been hit over that way. Moving on this map
Speaker 1: right here, US and Israeli strikes targeting internal security in
Speaker 1: Tehran as of March fourth, again you could see a
Speaker 1: pretty decent picture here of the amount of ordinance that
Speaker 1: is being dropped in very strategic locations. Then this one
Speaker 1: as well, I thought this map was rather interesting as well.
Speaker 1: The besiege headquarters in Tehran City. So this is just
Speaker 1: the capital city of Tehran and all those spots these
Speaker 1: are targeted headquarters and these are just the headquarters in general.
Speaker 1: So we have at least six that were targeted, and
Speaker 1: I do believe those have all been hit. So yeah,
Speaker 1: doing some massive things, making some big moves happen as
Speaker 1: far as Tehran's concerned. Here iranians at retaliation. So, Iran
Speaker 1: has continued to launch ballistic missile brajes at Israel since
Speaker 1: the last out of cutoff March third. Iran conducted at
Speaker 1: least seven ballistic missile barrages targeting Israel between March third
Speaker 1: at four PM and March fourth at eight It has
Speaker 1: not observed any missile impacts at the time of this writing.
Speaker 1: So the uscent Com reported on March fourth that the
Speaker 1: number of ballistic missiles has dropped eighty six percent. We
Speaker 1: talked about that already. The Combined Force has designed its
Speaker 1: CAPE campaign to destroy Iran's ballistic missile capabilities before the
Speaker 1: force depletes the interceptor stockpiles. SENTCOM statement firm or demonstrates
Speaker 1: the force's successful efforts against Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. What
Speaker 1: is happening with this one? It's changing on me here. Oh,
Speaker 1: so it's showing you the build up. So on February
Speaker 1: twenty fifth versus March fourth, you can see how some
Speaker 1: of these are all. You know, this is damage to
Speaker 1: support structure, damage to hardened shelters. Yeah, yeah, these all
Speaker 1: are hit. It'd be like that continuing on here, the
Speaker 1: Axis of Resistance Response. I love how that's the name,
Speaker 1: but anyway, I'm not gonna try to pronounce that name. Sorry.
Speaker 1: A front group for the other Iranian backed Iraqi militant
Speaker 1: militias claimed multiple attacks targeting US forces since the last
Speaker 1: data cut off the Saraya. Oh, Jesus Christ, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try it. I'm gonna try it. Soriyah Ailillah al dam
Speaker 1: Paul Damn claimed on March fourth that HIT launched separate
Speaker 1: squadrons of drones targeting a hotel in Erbil used by
Speaker 1: US forces and Erbial International Airport, which houses a US
Speaker 1: military base. Sources of Irbal reported hearing the sounds of
Speaker 1: explosions at her rear military base, which houses US forces
Speaker 1: near Erbal International Airport. Jesus Christ, they keep repeating themselves.
Speaker 1: You can tell this like a government document. That's why
Speaker 1: they have to like repeat the sentence in so many
Speaker 1: ways over and over again, because the government must have
Speaker 1: everything in triplicate. Anyway, beside the point, So this is
Speaker 1: the official report as of this morning, March fourth. Now
Speaker 1: continuing on with the conversation. So they killed the Iatolin.
Speaker 1: That's a whole thing that took place. And then apparently
Speaker 1: they named a new Iatola and we killed them, and
Speaker 1: then they named like a new new Iatola, and then
Speaker 1: he got got So here's the deal. The Supreme Council
Speaker 1: is basically there, their collection of people who get together
Speaker 1: to decide the fate of this Shia nation. They had
Speaker 1: a meeting of the shitheads right this Supreme Council. The
Speaker 1: building where the meeting was happening got got so now
Speaker 1: the Supreme Council's all dead, and they were about to
Speaker 1: decide who the next Iatola was gonna be. So it's
Speaker 1: just it's a wild, wild situation over here. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to bring this up. So
Speaker 1: israel Baum's council choosing Iran's next supreme leader, officials say,
Speaker 1: And again, I didn't even pull up the whole article.
Speaker 1: It's not worth pulling it up. It's just one of
Speaker 1: those things, you know. I'm out here doing the most.
Speaker 1: So now America's new PRSM ballistic missile just made its
Speaker 1: combat debut. I thought this would be a fun one
Speaker 1: to look into, because I don't even know if we've
Speaker 1: talked about this before. This is a new toy. This
Speaker 1: is America's a new toy here. So the PRSM struck
Speaker 1: targets in Iran and can fly hundreds of miles further
Speaker 1: than its predecessor, the attack ems. We've talked about the
Speaker 1: attackers before. I didn't realize that we were getting ready
Speaker 1: to premiere our prsms, So I'm kind of excited to
Speaker 1: learn about this. So the US military has employed its
Speaker 1: new PSR or PRSM, which stands for Precision Strike Missile,
Speaker 1: Short Range Polistic Missile as part of the ongoing operations
Speaker 1: against Iran. This looks to be the front combat, the
Speaker 1: first combat use of the PRSM, which only began entering
Speaker 1: service roughly two years ago. The operational debut of this
Speaker 1: new missile showcases the significantly greater range they offer compared
Speaker 1: to the predecessor, which would be the Army Tactical Missile
Speaker 1: System or the Attackers, and much expanded target area that
Speaker 1: the American units can now hold at risk. As a result. Overnight,
Speaker 1: USNCOM released a video montage of still pictures documenting the
Speaker 1: first twenty four hours of Operation Epic Fury, which again
Speaker 1: it's a pretty sick, nasty name. Some of the operations
Speaker 1: America has had over the years have sounded really gay.
Speaker 1: The past couple have been pretty solid, Operation Midnight Hammer,
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury. Listen, say what you want, like the
Speaker 1: administration or don't. That's fine. They're getting style points if
Speaker 1: nothing else here anyway, So continuing this is the nickname
Speaker 1: American authorities have given their component of the ongoing US
Speaker 1: Israeli operations targeting Iran, including in that montage seen in
Speaker 1: the social media post. Below is an image clearly showing
Speaker 1: the launch of a PRSM from a wheeled High Mars,
Speaker 1: which is that's pretty crazy. They're able to launch this
Speaker 1: new one out of their high Mars launcher. That's dope.
Speaker 1: So let's see here. First twenty four hours, President ordered
Speaker 1: bolt action in our braves, Soldier Sailor's Ara, Memrines Guards, Guardians,
Speaker 1: Space Force getting their shout out, and Coe's guardmen are
Speaker 1: answering the call. Let's see about this little video here
Speaker 1: if we're able to watch it. All right, Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no sound, but all right, it's cool. Cool guy. Helicopters
Speaker 1: got planes, so that's it. This is the new the
Speaker 1: new toy that was just launched out of the out
Speaker 1: of the High Mars truck. Okay, okay, so let's see
Speaker 1: what they could do with it, right. Defense and security
Speaker 1: columnist Colby bo bod Hoar Jesus Christ looks to have
Speaker 1: been the first to spot the PRSM image on sent
Speaker 1: com montage. This new missile is distinctly different, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to the shape and configuration of its tail fins.
Speaker 1: Moving on here, there is no picture. There's also a
Speaker 1: picture of the M one four two loaded with what
Speaker 1: looks to be a two cell ammunition pod, which is
Speaker 1: also in line with the PRSM. The M one four
Speaker 1: to two the High Mars as well as the Tract
Speaker 1: Multiple Launch rocket System. The mr mL rs fire's munitions
Speaker 1: from the pods with standardized dimensions. The attackings pods only
Speaker 1: contain a single missile. These two launcher vehicles can also
Speaker 1: fire the two to two seven millimeters artillery rockets, including
Speaker 1: guided variants, all of which come in six round pods.
Speaker 1: So that's pretty interesting. So these are two round pods.
Speaker 1: If it was something else, it would have been a
Speaker 1: six So again it appears as though we are absolutely
Speaker 1: using the new baby out on the battlefield. Actually that's
Speaker 1: a that's an attack them. That's not the PRSM. These
Speaker 1: are the PRSM. So anyway, I don't know much about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm not an artillery junkie. I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Same way with the jets, Like I think
Speaker 1: they're interesting. I couldn't tell you much about it out
Speaker 1: of like my own personal experience or my own like nerdom.
Speaker 1: This is not what I tism out about, you know.
Speaker 1: I think they're dope though. So they where have they
Speaker 1: been fired from during strikes and around as part of
Speaker 1: the Operation Extra Epic Fury is unclear. Regardless, the PRSM
Speaker 1: allfering roughly twice as much reach would substantially increase the
Speaker 1: total breadth of targeting that could be held at risk
Speaker 1: from any location in the region. In turn, this would
Speaker 1: allow US forces to hit more targets where the unique
Speaker 1: benefit offered by ballistic missiles could be advantageous. Ballistic missiles
Speaker 1: in general flight a relatively high speed, especially as they
Speaker 1: come down at terminal phase of flight. This makes them
Speaker 1: especially well suited for employment against time sensitive targets like
Speaker 1: Iranian missile launchers and air defense assets, which have been
Speaker 1: a focal point of strikes in the conflict so far.
Speaker 1: In general, using short range ballistic missiles to help neutralize
Speaker 1: air defense nodes, shore radar sites, and similar assets would
Speaker 1: have made particular since in the opening stages of the
Speaker 1: conflict to help clear the way for follow on strikes.
Speaker 1: So again, we're not one hundred percent of where they've
Speaker 1: been used and how they've been used, but we do
Speaker 1: have pictures and videos to say that they have been
Speaker 1: using their new toy. I am hoping that over the
Speaker 1: next few days and weeks we might start to see
Speaker 1: some of the capabilities of this new platform really get
Speaker 1: bragged about. I'm hoping. We can only hope, all right,
Speaker 1: So moving on to the next one. Actually, before go ahead,
Speaker 1: hex's head, I'm very curious what's been going on in
Speaker 1: the chat, So go ahead, brother, Oh you're still.
Speaker 9: Muted, Dough, I'm retarded, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: So I've seen some shit.
Speaker 9: About lasers dropping drowns, have you guys anybody else?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the the Iron Dome, which everybody knew was
Speaker 1: you know, ground to air based rocket systems and things
Speaker 1: like this. Apparently Israel also has laser cannons in the
Speaker 1: form of what they called the iron beams, and those
Speaker 1: are being used to shoot down some ordinance before it
Speaker 1: hit them. Now it appears like it is not either
Speaker 1: A it takes a lot of energy to fire these things,
Speaker 1: or B it is not as effective as they thought,
Speaker 1: because there has been quite a few rockets make it
Speaker 1: through the dome and have been striking. Is real proper,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the fact that they have laser
Speaker 1: cannons that can absolutely take down ship from the sky
Speaker 1: bro that's that's fucking dope. Say say it against.
Speaker 10: Him, the goy beam, the.
Speaker 1: Fucking beam, I believe they call it. But maybe I
Speaker 1: think we give.
Speaker 9: Them the Loraines and let let the Moraines do what
Speaker 9: they do.
Speaker 1: I like it. I like where your head's at. But man,
Speaker 1: people will be getting some type of upset when you
Speaker 1: bring up America getting involved in this one, which okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like Tony was saying before we started this,
Speaker 1: like why doesn't America get involved in other things around
Speaker 1: the world because it doesn't matter to Israel, therefore it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to us. And I know people have a
Speaker 1: lot of opinions on that one, and I get it,
Speaker 1: I absolutely get it. But yeah, that's that's basically what
Speaker 1: happened here. Israel decided to attack Iran and we had
Speaker 1: to back their play. So here we are, Wow, well.
Speaker 9: Get rid of them. I mean, we don't need a Ran.
Speaker 1: I mean it's nah. Yeah, they're thrown on our sides.
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, I'm not I'm not too broken
Speaker 1: up about it. I'm I am personally of the hope
Speaker 1: that the Iranian people will stand on their own two
Speaker 1: feet and take their country back for themselves and let
Speaker 1: their voice be heard. I do not want America to
Speaker 1: get involved in some sort of a nation building campaign.
Speaker 1: We suck at that, absolutely, I would very much. I'm
Speaker 1: hoping and praying that this whole situation gets wrapped up.
Speaker 1: Trump said something about four or five weeks. I don't
Speaker 1: know that for a fact. I'm hoping in under six
Speaker 1: months that would be. That would be phenomenal. But I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if the Iranian people, it's like two thirds
Speaker 1: of the people do not want to live under the
Speaker 1: regime that they're currently under. They they are tired of
Speaker 1: the level of Sharia law that they are living under.
Speaker 1: And again, the you have to see where these poles
Speaker 1: are even coming out of to see how verifiable they are.
Speaker 1: And I get that. So depending on the reports you read,
Speaker 1: some of these people are celebrating that the iatola is dead.
Speaker 1: Some people are crying about it, and they're so broken
Speaker 1: up and they feel like Allah has abandoned them. I
Speaker 1: know it's a very complex situation. I get that. But
Speaker 1: if those poles are true, and if two thirds of
Speaker 1: the people actually want to be out from under the
Speaker 1: heel of the Ayahtola, now is the time. And I'm
Speaker 1: hoping that they're able to do that, and then America
Speaker 1: could step back and let them do them. That would
Speaker 1: be that would be ideal. But it's still very early
Speaker 1: to tell how this is gonna shake out. We can
Speaker 1: only pray. We can only pray for that. Yeah, no doubt, Sam.
Speaker 1: What you got, big dog? Well yes, I.
Speaker 10: Said those two it uh bus to your instat Uh.
Speaker 10: It's the one phone that you see the plane in
Speaker 10: and it's also from the person that's in the building,
Speaker 10: so that way people can't say, oh, that's a I
Speaker 10: not honed doll, I made I cost reference to my things,
Speaker 10: I cost my eyes and dotted my t's dammit.
Speaker 1: So wait, what do you what's the plane situation? On
Speaker 1: this now, this is in bing. It's wrong.
Speaker 10: It was It's not an actual it.
Speaker 1: It's a plane or.
Speaker 10: Drone looking thing, and it from Iran.
Speaker 11: It's will you see one video from the distance of
Speaker 11: it hitting the the building and then you see it
Speaker 11: from somebody's an iPhone from inside of the building showing it.
Speaker 1: So it's you. You sent it to the Colts Instagram?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Caju and I and Raven Lee.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait have you you sent it to the
Speaker 1: cult a Conspiracy or cag I don't wait, caj and
Speaker 1: I don't have an Instagram? What am I talking about?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 10: It's the Colt of Conspiracy. I assume it's that one.
Speaker 10: It's cajun I and Raven.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find you. Oh, weapon Mysteries, I got you.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for Sam. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm having
Speaker 1: a little bit of a slow night. Oh okay, it's
Speaker 1: oh okay. Let me go ahead and share the screen.
Speaker 1: Then hold on, now, hold on.
Speaker 10: I got both videos from both different point of views,
Speaker 10: so people can say, cannot say, oh that's Ai. If
Speaker 10: it's Ai, well I are that multiple views have said event.
Speaker 1: Okay, So footage of an Iranian drome slamming into a
Speaker 1: residential apartment building in Bahrain that's clearly exposed to the
Speaker 1: regime's current desperation. Let's watch this together, y'all.
Speaker 12: Oh man, doesn't collapse.
Speaker 1: No, it absolutely is not going to collapse in a
Speaker 1: free fall the whole all right. Now, that was from
Speaker 1: one angle. Now it's checking out. Jesus, that's loud.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, the person was literally in it. We're watching
Speaker 1: that one again, all right. So that would be a
Speaker 1: Shaheed drone just roll on the same page they are,
Speaker 1: does go for the air platforms? I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess that's uh god, damn dude, Like okay, so, and
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know what the strategic value of that
Speaker 1: residential apartment building in Bahrain was. I'm sure that maybe
Speaker 1: they was trying to hit a different target but getting
Speaker 1: lock on the right wall or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that it's an Iranian desperation
Speaker 1: as to why that drone hit that building. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's kind of like one of those folk war things
Speaker 1: like those uh the three fighters, the F fifteens, F eighteens,
Speaker 1: I forget me. And Tony talked about that yesterday. Actually,
Speaker 1: the ones that got American pilots got shot down because
Speaker 1: of Kuwaiti ground to air defenses. It's not that the
Speaker 1: Kuwaitis were trying to hit Americans. It was fog of
Speaker 1: war and there was some accidents that happened kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's possible. I don't know that those
Speaker 1: drones are pretty effective, but it definitely just smacked that
Speaker 1: apartment building. But okay, wow, thank you for sharing that, Sam.
Speaker 1: Holy shit.
Speaker 10: Uh uh, I've didn try I got.
Speaker 1: When I saw those, I downloaded them. Well, I didn't
Speaker 1: download him. I did download him, but I did it
Speaker 1: specifically for this episode.
Speaker 2: I thought I didn't know what to do, so I
Speaker 2: wanted to relay the information.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, homie, Hex said what you got, MC dog.
Speaker 9: So I'm late to the late to it. But did
Speaker 9: we talk about the the submarine hitting the battleship?
Speaker 1: We have not. We have not. Oh we we have
Speaker 1: video of it, dude, that's awesome, mask Hon, Do you
Speaker 1: have video of it because I haven't. I didn't bring
Speaker 1: anything up on it. If you haven't.
Speaker 9: Mainstream media, yeah, it's all over everything now.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, Okay, so I didn't even I didn't even find.
Speaker 1: So a submarine hit.
Speaker 9: A Iranian battleship and yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. You just like it's a US submarine right
Speaker 1: or is it an Iranian ran into another one?
Speaker 9: US submarine hits.
Speaker 1: It's right there, yep, oh ship, Yeah, we got them cool?
Speaker 1: All right, Well we got to talk about it now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got out of the out of the ocean,
Speaker 2: and it just breaks the fuck open.
Speaker 1: Whoa? A four point two million dollar US torpedo detonates
Speaker 1: under Iranian warship in historic ner mercy strike. You know what,
Speaker 1: before we talk about the courage, we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about this one. This is great. Oh my god, So
Speaker 1: hold on here, the former submarine commander says, strike sends
Speaker 1: message that gloves are really off, as six hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty pounds war had lifted up warship out of the war.
Speaker 1: Oh do y'all want to hear it from heg Seth
Speaker 1: speak on the matter. We can fuck it. Let's see
Speaker 1: what he's got played on the screen.
Speaker 6: There an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought
Speaker 6: it was safe in international waters. Instead it was sunk.
Speaker 1: By a torpedo. Quiet death.
Speaker 6: The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo
Speaker 6: since World War II. Like in that war, back when
Speaker 6: we were still in the war department. We are fighting
Speaker 6: to win. Also, yesterday, the leader of the unit who
Speaker 6: attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed.
Speaker 6: Tried to kill President Trump, and President Trump got the
Speaker 6: last laugh.
Speaker 1: Ah. Wow, So I also didn't know this one torpedo
Speaker 1: was multimillion dollars. That's scary, but also obviously effective. So heay,
Speaker 1: so a multi I mean, it's only done if it
Speaker 1: doesn't work right. The multimillion dollar US Navy torpedo detonated
Speaker 1: underneath and around any warship in a nighttime submarine strike
Speaker 1: off Sri Lanka's southern coast, an attack where Secretary Pete
Speaker 1: Headset said on Wednesday in a Pentagon update, was the
Speaker 1: first of its kind since World War Two. The weapon,
Speaker 1: identified as the Mark forty eight Advanced Capability Torpedo, underscored
Speaker 1: the scale of force used and signaled to Tehran that
Speaker 1: the gloves are really off. The Mark forty eight is
Speaker 1: one of the most lethal anti ship weapons in the
Speaker 1: US inventory. Wow, I feel like we probably didn't need
Speaker 1: to go that hard. But also if it's worth doing,
Speaker 1: it's worth overdoing. You know. It's the American way. The
Speaker 1: torpedo carried a six hundred and fifty pound warhead and
Speaker 1: is designed not to strike a ship directly, but to
Speaker 1: detonate underneath it, creating a massive vapor bubble that breaks
Speaker 1: the vessels back and splits it in half. Wow, that
Speaker 1: says pop. That is impressive. So this, this torpedo detonated
Speaker 1: underneath the stern of the Iranian ship, lifted it up
Speaker 1: out of the water, and so it sank in a
Speaker 1: matter of minutes. God damn. The torpedo costs approximately four
Speaker 1: point two million dollars per unit. It's Shueguart likened the
Speaker 1: strike to rare submarine attacks in modern naval history. In
Speaker 1: addition to World War Two. He pointed to the nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty two Falklands War as one example of a submarine
Speaker 1: launched torpedo sinking a major surface combatant. This is the
Speaker 1: second time ever that a nuclear powered submarine has fired
Speaker 1: a torpedo that sunk a ship. The only other time
Speaker 1: that happened was a British submarine called the HMS Conqueror,
Speaker 1: which similarly sank an Argentine cruiser the General Belgrano during
Speaker 1: the Falklands War nineteen eighty two. Yo. You know, every
Speaker 1: fucking person on that sub, every sailor on that sub,
Speaker 1: is now just walking around with an extra just that
Speaker 1: extra ego. They're probably all going to get a medal
Speaker 1: for this because like, this is not something that happens
Speaker 1: ever that is swinging, Oh my god, dragging it on
Speaker 1: the floor the whole of the day. Oh my god, Sam,
Speaker 1: what's your way in here? Brother? O?
Speaker 10: I think they should get the medal, But is it
Speaker 10: a way that we can make the instead of it
Speaker 10: the ship taking minutes wet, which is a good all,
Speaker 10: well and good, is the way we can make them
Speaker 10: bitches drop like damn near instantly.
Speaker 1: Like the to sync that much that quick? Yes, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they could have launched three of these at
Speaker 1: the same time. But like, brother, what what are we
Speaker 1: talking about here?
Speaker 10: Udo, complete utter dominance? We like, make them bitches with us,
Speaker 10: don't fuck with America. And they touch our boats.
Speaker 1: They attempted, they touched one of our oil tankers.
Speaker 10: That's all that they admit that that that they had
Speaker 10: they thought they had balls, Well no, they got no,
Speaker 10: they don't even think it the you even get the idea, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna fuck you up.
Speaker 10: I want the fear of God in them.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they got it now, if they so.
Speaker 9: The idea behind the the blowing up basically, you're dropping
Speaker 9: bomb underneath the ship and it creates a negative pressure.
Speaker 9: So how a boat floats and you're dropping the pressure
Speaker 9: between it and it just pop in the middle. That's how.
Speaker 1: Oh that's how. Yeah, the bombs are.
Speaker 9: Working and it's easy and super well expensive.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's simple. That is I understand the concept
Speaker 1: of why it's so effective. But also that is terrifying,
Speaker 1: my god, very it's I mean, it's also really bad
Speaker 1: as you just split a fucking ship in half. You
Speaker 1: titaniced a bitch. But like, same time, bro, you probably
Speaker 1: didn't need to go that hard, like on some very
Speaker 1: real levels, you probably could have just put a little
Speaker 1: little depth charge, you know what I'm saying with the submarine,
Speaker 1: just like stuck to the bottom of the boat, and
Speaker 1: it could have worked. And they're like, same time, brother,
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten an opportunity to shoot our new toy.
Speaker 1: So like you know, this is this is we gotta
Speaker 1: we gotta do some shit, this is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: I think this might be the that's why America's going
Speaker 1: so hard and doing it so successfully. I mean, granted,
Speaker 1: I ran was the number, like I said, the number
Speaker 1: seventeenth or sixteenth, I forget, strongest military in the world,
Speaker 1: world as of last year, So it's not like this
Speaker 1: would be a fair fight even if we were to
Speaker 1: try to nerve ourselves down. But that being said, when's
Speaker 1: the last time or the next time that America's military
Speaker 1: basically got the green light to fucking go ham So
Speaker 1: since that's the case, we're just getting to shoot all
Speaker 1: of our new shit just to see what happens. We're
Speaker 1: collecting data on this. Yeah, I love it. I'm so
Speaker 1: here for this and this, y'all. This is why our
Speaker 1: a portion of the reason why I am very pro war,
Speaker 1: very pro quick wars. Anyway, we get to test our things,
Speaker 1: our new capabilities, collect the data from that, and use
Speaker 1: it to develop new and greater and better things. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying, you know. Anyways, So let's continue on.
Speaker 1: The US submarines can operate at high speeds for as
Speaker 1: long as they want until or with unlimited endurance other
Speaker 1: than the food on board which is true. They carry
Speaker 1: the most advanced weapons and the most advanced sensors. The
Speaker 1: strike sin a message that if there was any Iranian
Speaker 1: warships left, or any Iranian government owned ships, they should
Speaker 1: expect no mercy. God damn, what a statement. I love it.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. So, okay, we have now talked
Speaker 1: about the air assets, we have talked about the sea assets.
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the ground force. So this is
Speaker 1: from Radio Free Europe. Say what you want about the source,
Speaker 1: that's not the point here. I think they're bringing up
Speaker 1: a pretty fair observation. A new front in the Iran War.
Speaker 1: US considers arming Iranian Kurdish opposition groups. Again, like I
Speaker 1: brought up in the beginning of this episode, I believe
Speaker 1: this is going to be the route that we take.
Speaker 1: We don't want to send units into Iran for some
Speaker 1: sort of a boots on the ground approach to this
Speaker 1: that benefits no one. And everybody's seen that marine that
Speaker 1: was just kicked out of the was it Congress, at
Speaker 1: the Senate or whatever. He was in his dress blues
Speaker 1: and he's like, we don't want a war because of
Speaker 1: ass Red all and he got his hand broken and
Speaker 1: all this like Okay, listen, brother, I hear you, I
Speaker 1: hear you.
Speaker 10: It's cool.
Speaker 1: That's kind of how we've done things for a good
Speaker 1: long while. And I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 1: didn't know that. And I don't want to sound pretentious
Speaker 1: when I say that America getting involved in anything in
Speaker 1: the Middle East for the last few decades has been
Speaker 1: because of it. Actually, I would say even before that, Well,
Speaker 1: we can go back to the Iran contra affair, like
Speaker 1: it's Israel has been in the mix, and that's kind
Speaker 1: of a part of this. And I mentioned this years ago.
Speaker 1: America and Israel are locked in, like I'm talking blood tie,
Speaker 1: locked in as much as two nations can be locked in.
Speaker 1: A lot of American people do not like that, and
Speaker 1: that's fine. That's fine, cool, And I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: pro against either way. It's just this is how things
Speaker 1: have been done for decades up until this point. Now,
Speaker 1: if the American public is finding out more about that
Speaker 1: that they may not have been aware of beforehand, okay, good,
Speaker 1: and perhaps they have decided that they do not want
Speaker 1: to go into war because of Israel. Okay, I'm on
Speaker 1: board with this. I don't necessarily disagree with that. To
Speaker 1: be completely honest with you, I don't like Netan Yahoo,
Speaker 1: I don't like his administration, I don't like how they
Speaker 1: do business, and I don't want to go to war.
Speaker 1: I don't want America to go to war because of Israel.
Speaker 1: I want us to go to war because we want
Speaker 1: to go to war. That's where I'm at with it.
Speaker 1: So as far as this goes, the same with the
Speaker 1: situation with Iraq or excuse me, excuse me Afghanistan in
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, we were trying to stop the growth
Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union. They wanted to get into Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: We didn't want to launch American troops into Afghanistan to
Speaker 1: fight Soviets. That would be crazy. So what we did
Speaker 1: was we got this guy named Tim Osman, who's actual
Speaker 1: name was Osama bin Laden, and he was associated with
Speaker 1: this group called the muja Hadien, which is the Freedom Fighters,
Speaker 1: And we decided to send some CIA assets and some
Speaker 1: Green Berets and some Tier one type dudes over to
Speaker 1: train them in how to do guerrilla warfare and how
Speaker 1: to probably best beat the Soviets. So we taught them
Speaker 1: these things. Now I'm not gonna say that we are
Speaker 1: the reason why and how al Qaeda learned how to
Speaker 1: make IEDs. There are some that believe that I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that though. What I am saying is that yes,
Speaker 1: we absolutely armed, trained, and mobilized the Afghan indigenous population
Speaker 1: to try to defeat the Soviets, and they were very successful. Right.
Speaker 1: We did the same thing in Vietnam with the Munk
Speaker 1: it's spelled h M by the way, the Mung tribe.
Speaker 1: We trained them up, We sent our green beres and
Speaker 1: to train them to fight against the VC. So I
Speaker 1: think it's very possible that America trains up and arms
Speaker 1: the Kurds, which for the record, they really don't need
Speaker 1: much train and the Kurds are some day some motherfuckers
Speaker 1: when it comes to fighting the Pushmerga fighters. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, in Syria they have been stacking bodies
Speaker 1: for a while and in Iraq so just towing it out.
Speaker 1: I think it's very, very possible that America arms and
Speaker 1: trains these Kurdish oppositional groups, and especially with Syria being
Speaker 1: as fragmented as it is and now Iran being fragmented
Speaker 1: like it is in Iraq, kind of being in this
Speaker 1: weird place that it is, I think we might be
Speaker 1: close to having Kurdistan become an actual independent, sovereign nation.
Speaker 1: I don't know that for a fact, but I think
Speaker 1: we're closer now than we have been for the last
Speaker 1: six hundred years. But anyway, let's get into it here.
Speaker 1: So the United States is considering arming Iranian Kurdish opposition
Speaker 1: groups based in neighboring Iraq, according to reports, in a
Speaker 1: move that could open a new front in the war
Speaker 1: on Iran and risks igniting a civil war in the
Speaker 1: Middle East. Entry, yes, it would for those that don't
Speaker 1: really understand the full context ofs and before I continue here,
Speaker 1: so there's two main factions in Islam, the Sunnis and
Speaker 1: the Shiahs, right, the Sunnies and Shiite is another way
Speaker 1: you would say that. And these two opposing factions. It's
Speaker 1: I know this is not a one to one equivalence,
Speaker 1: but if you were putting into the Christian conversation, you'd
Speaker 1: be like the Protestants versus the Catholics. And I understand
Speaker 1: that there's nuances. I'm just bear with me here. And
Speaker 1: these two groups do not get along. But they equally
Speaker 1: hate Israel, they equally hate America, and they both equally
Speaker 1: hate the Kords, which is another group of Muslims. They
Speaker 1: do not fuck with them for whatever they see. The
Speaker 1: Kurds is basically almost as bad as the Jews, and
Speaker 1: I've I've got multiple reports rather from multiple Islamic nations
Speaker 1: that claim this, and I'm sure there's background to that
Speaker 1: that the Kurds are always trying to start trouble whatever else.
Speaker 1: When Saddam Hussein dropped those those dirty bombs, those chemical
Speaker 1: weapons against his Kourdish population in the north of Iraq,
Speaker 1: the reason why America didn't do anything to stop him
Speaker 1: is because we're the ones that sold him the chemical
Speaker 1: bombs that were against everybody's codes that we weren't supposed
Speaker 1: to have, even though we're the ones that created them
Speaker 1: out of some biolabs out of Ukraine. But that's to
Speaker 1: talk for a whole nother day. My point is we
Speaker 1: knew exactly what he was doing and who he was
Speaker 1: going to do it too, and when the whole world
Speaker 1: was outraged, America had to turn a blind eye because
Speaker 1: we couldn't acknowledge where he got that from. So this
Speaker 1: is a long standing thing as far as the Sunnis
Speaker 1: and the Sites both saying fuck the Kurds. So the
Speaker 1: Kurds have been trying to get their own nation built,
Speaker 1: and that's why when you got the Iraqi Kurds, they
Speaker 1: are trying to go help the Iranian Kurds and calling
Speaker 1: up on the Syrian Kurds. It's like, it's basically tribals.
Speaker 1: You know, this area of the world is very very
Speaker 1: tribal and clandestine. So this would be a possibility for
Speaker 1: them to connect and make a nation out of nothing,
Speaker 1: which could be cool. Sam, go ahead, sir.
Speaker 10: So it's like the Kurds are their version of the Cathars,
Speaker 10: just extermination.
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't even know if that's
Speaker 1: a fair comparison, because the Cathars weren't Christian, they were Gnostic.
Speaker 1: But worse, this would be like and I don't even know,
Speaker 1: like as far as their religion, what separates occurred from
Speaker 1: a Sunni or Shia. So like I know that the
Speaker 1: soon he's in. The Shas disagree about the few things,
Speaker 1: but the main thing is who takes over as the
Speaker 1: lead of the religion. This group believes that it should
Speaker 1: be a direct descendant of Mohammad. This group believes that
Speaker 1: it should be merit based and has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with blood lineage. That's kind of the oversimplifying like a
Speaker 1: motherfucker here, But that's kind of the thing. I honestly
Speaker 1: don't know what separates the Kurds as far as their
Speaker 1: religious beliefs goes. I know that they are a separate tribe,
Speaker 1: like they are their own lineage and blood to this,
Speaker 1: but I do not know. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: it be a fair comparison to say that this is
Speaker 1: like a Mormon equivalent, Like you got the Catholics in
Speaker 1: the Protestants and then you got the Mormon's. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if this would be a fair comparison.
Speaker 1: Maybe a Jehovah's witness. Maybe not a full on because
Speaker 1: Mormons aren't Christian in my opinion, but like maybe it'd
Speaker 1: be along those things.
Speaker 9: I don't know, I don't know, probably a Jehovah's witness, TONI.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Kords are mostly soony. I regard the Sunni as
Speaker 12: more of the Protestant like version of Islam, and they're
Speaker 12: the majority in Islam. Sheism is more similar to Catholicism
Speaker 12: because they have saints, because they have this grand emom
Speaker 12: idea instead of a caliphate and the herds are mostly
Speaker 12: Sunni to my knowledge, but there are some Shida and
Speaker 12: some Christian ones even that's fair.
Speaker 1: I thought the Kurds had their own religion as well,
Speaker 1: or is it just basically tribalism. As to why they
Speaker 1: all hate them.
Speaker 12: It's ethnicity, and I think they used to have their
Speaker 12: own language, but most of them speak Arabic or Farsi.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, they do have their own language. I know
Speaker 1: that got outlawed in Turkey, like uh, because the Kurds
Speaker 1: take up most of the east and southeast of Turkey,
Speaker 1: and Erdowin passed a law basically saying that they couldn't
Speaker 1: teach Kurdish in their schools anymore. They were forced to
Speaker 1: teach Turkish. And that's like a whole thing as far
Speaker 1: as their culture and their heritage goes. So yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of the countries have outlawed the Kurdish way. So
Speaker 1: that being said, possibly if we were to arm some
Speaker 1: Kurds out of Iraq and in Iran and use those
Speaker 1: as our ground force, we wouldn't have to launch any
Speaker 1: kind of invasion. We wouldn't have to submarines or soldiers
Speaker 1: or anything that and maybe Israel wuldn't either, But that
Speaker 1: again that we've done this before with varying levels of success.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's worked out well, for sometimes it didn't. A
Speaker 1: little bit of some situation dictates on this one. I
Speaker 1: think it's possible, y'all. It's possible that the Curds are
Speaker 1: pissed off enough to really like give it the old
Speaker 1: college try and maybe make some things happen. I don't know, Okay.
Speaker 12: What I've read is that there's a substantial pro Iranian
Speaker 12: regime Kurdish population in Iran called the push Amerigo, which
Speaker 12: is the same word as the group in Syria. I
Speaker 12: think Syria would be the best example of a previous
Speaker 12: attempt at this by the United States and the West,
Speaker 12: because the Kurds did form their own country in Syria.
Speaker 12: But last I heard, I think it was reconquered by
Speaker 12: al Qaeda in Syria. In Syria.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened with that, because Syria was
Speaker 1: fractioned up for a good minute there, and it was
Speaker 1: like the Kurdish they had their own area. It was
Speaker 1: more like a Wild West type of situation where like
Speaker 1: whoever's got the most guns in that area is the
Speaker 1: one that claims that they're in charge kind of thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't heard if they got reconquered
Speaker 1: or what, because shit, you told me by it. What's
Speaker 1: your boy's name? The former terrorist that's now leading Syria,
Speaker 1: former al Kainda do there? There's pictures of him with
Speaker 1: severed heads, and now he's serious president. Besides, that's the guy,
Speaker 1: that's the guy. So I don't know, Tony's cutting out shit.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they if he has actually reunified
Speaker 1: his country or not. It's very possible, but it's it's
Speaker 1: still kind of in that phase. So yeah, like Tony
Speaker 1: was saying, the Pershmerga is already a thing that we
Speaker 1: tried in Syria, and like I said, varying levels of success. Perhaps,
Speaker 1: especially now that we have bombed the ever loving shit
Speaker 1: out of Iran and are continuing to do so, perhaps
Speaker 1: maybe the Pershmerga in Iran could have a little better success.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but let's continue reading here.
Speaker 1: So several Iranian opposition Kurdish groups based in Iraq semi
Speaker 1: autonomous Kurdish region have been waging a low level insurgency
Speaker 1: against Tehran for years. Some have demanded autonomy within Iran,
Speaker 1: while others are fighting for secession from the Islamic Republic.
Speaker 1: The possibility of the United States supplying weapons to Iranian
Speaker 1: Kurdish groups and supporting potential cross border ground attacks in
Speaker 1: the western part of the country comes as the United
Speaker 1: States in Israel were a massive aerial bombardment of Iran,
Speaker 1: the US AIM experts say would be to stretch to
Speaker 1: Tehran's military resources, weaken the state's grip on power and
Speaker 1: formant or filment a uprising inside Iran, a multi ethnic
Speaker 1: country of some ninety million people. Iran's clerical rulers, despite
Speaker 1: the killing of the Supreme Leader and Supreme military leaders,
Speaker 1: have not capitulated or fragmented and maintained control of the
Speaker 1: country since the US joint campaign began February twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: Continuing on here. So this is this is the area
Speaker 1: that are Kurdish, right, So if we're looking at the
Speaker 1: map here, this is Iran, this Iraq, that's Syria, that's Turkey.
Speaker 1: All of this red is considered the area where the
Speaker 1: Kurdish people reside. And there's a reason why the Kurds
Speaker 1: all want their own nation and why whenever they should
Speaker 1: have gotten their own nation honestly after World War One
Speaker 1: wrapped up. But when you look at the map and
Speaker 1: you look at especially in the Middle East, this was
Speaker 1: cut up and divided by white dudes that had no
Speaker 1: idea what kind of tribalism there was in Iraq or
Speaker 1: not in Iraq, in the Middle East in totality, so
Speaker 1: they just pretty much drew the lines Bob, Bob, bob,
Speaker 1: we're doing this or doing this. Cool, that'll work, everybody's happy.
Speaker 1: And then these people in the Middle literally in the
Speaker 1: middle of four different countries that like this could have
Speaker 1: just been its own spot basically got told too bad,
Speaker 1: so said fuck off. So you know, as we're I'm
Speaker 1: talking about right now, this is tran this is where
Speaker 1: all that bombing's going down. This is a Kurdistan province,
Speaker 1: This is a Kurdistan region in Iraq, Syria. This whole
Speaker 1: area up here was kurd population for a while. Now
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if Syria has retaken
Speaker 1: that land or not. And this is Turkey, which hates
Speaker 1: their Curgs and have outlawed them being Kurdish essentially, and
Speaker 1: if they were, and that's another reason why Turkey doesn't
Speaker 1: want Kurdistan to become a thing, and this one at
Speaker 1: least I could understand. If that happens, they lose a
Speaker 1: third of their land and a third of their population.
Speaker 1: That's that's by their own emittance. I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's an actual true number. I think they're being a
Speaker 1: little a little extra with those assumptions. But either way
Speaker 1: it goes, they're not super jazzed to lose that much
Speaker 1: of their taxpayers, which I get. Okay, fine, but anyway,
Speaker 1: let's continue on here. So Sasha Bruchmann. Bruckman, I don't
Speaker 1: fucking care, a military and security affairs and analysis at
Speaker 1: the London based International Institute for Strategic Studies, said possible
Speaker 1: ground incursions by Iranian Kurdish groups into western Iran could
Speaker 1: stretch Tehran's military resources. If the Kurdish factions were to
Speaker 1: stage a concerted series of attacks, the IRGC would have
Speaker 1: to seek reinforcements, referring to the quote unquote elite branch
Speaker 1: of Iran's armed forces. That's the elite branch. Paramilitary would
Speaker 1: be another way to say that. But all right, however,
Speaker 1: that would weaken their posture in core cities such as Tehran,
Speaker 1: as Fahan or Karaj It would thus create a dilemma
Speaker 1: for the regime where to send sparse reinforcements in times
Speaker 1: when coordination is also more difficult. It is this dilemma
Speaker 1: and thinning out of forces that is the operational goal.
Speaker 1: The risks the United States possibly arming Iranian opposition CURD
Speaker 1: groups are considerable, though Washington could trigger a civil war
Speaker 1: and the fragmentation of the country, which could have lasting consequences.
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like that guy, but that's
Speaker 1: also a thing that America's done on repeat a few
Speaker 1: times now. As long as we don't get involved in
Speaker 1: the civil war, they fine, cool. You know that the
Speaker 1: Iranian people they duke it out and they decide which
Speaker 1: way they're going to swing on that, then fine. But
Speaker 1: I don't want America to jump in and try to
Speaker 1: back one side or the other of an Iranian problem.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I know Israel is definitely
Speaker 1: going to have their claws in one of these sides,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure America will follow suit because that's what
Speaker 1: America does. But anyway, let's continue on here. Many of
Speaker 1: these groups were previously armed but have since laid down
Speaker 1: their weapons. Gross if they engage in a long term
Speaker 1: war against Iran and the US supports disappears. This will
Speaker 1: prove very dangerous for them exactly, which is why I
Speaker 1: said gross. The United States recently cut support to the
Speaker 1: Syrian Democratic Forces the SDF, which as what we were
Speaker 1: talking about earlier with the Pushmerga, the Kurdish militia that
Speaker 1: was a key US partner for years in the war
Speaker 1: against the Islamic State extremist groups so long standing disputes.
Speaker 1: In anticipation of a US attack on Iran, five Iranian
Speaker 1: opposition Kurdish groups based in Iraq Kurdistan announced a new
Speaker 1: political coalition last month aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Republic
Speaker 1: and ultimately achieving Kurdish autonomy. The new coalition includes Kurdish
Speaker 1: Freedom Party or PAK Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan PDK
Speaker 1: I and the Kurdistan Free Life Party p jack. Wow,
Speaker 1: the jokes right themselves, moving on the organization of Iranian
Speaker 1: Kurdistan Struggle KABAT again. I want to make jokes, but
Speaker 1: we're not doing that right now. The Kamala of shut up,
Speaker 1: shut up, the Kamala of the toilers of Kurdistan. I'm sorry, y'all,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm afraid I may not be mature enough to
Speaker 1: have this conversation anyway. The coalition does not include several
Speaker 1: Kurdish political heavyweights, such as Kamala Party of Iranian Kurdistan.
Speaker 1: Oh sweet Jesus, yeah, why why is Kamala a name
Speaker 1: that these people are using? And please tell me somehow
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is using this to boost her numbers in
Speaker 1: her own brain. I understand it's spelled different. That's beside
Speaker 1: the point. Wow. Moving on, Iran has sporadically conducted military
Speaker 1: strikes against the exile Kurdish groups, which Iran has designated
Speaker 1: as terrorist organizations and accused them of serving American and
Speaker 1: Israeli interests. Well yeah know shit. Those attacks could intensify
Speaker 1: if the United States arms the groups. On March fourth,
Speaker 1: Iran launched rockets attacks at a camp near the border
Speaker 1: operated by the PAK That's what the group said, adding
Speaker 1: that one person was killed and three wounded. A day earlier,
Speaker 1: drone strikes struck a base near the PDKI in northern Iraq.
Speaker 1: Experts state is unclear if the various Iranian Kurdish groups
Speaker 1: in Iraq can settle their deep differences and have a
Speaker 1: willingness and ability to fight against the Islamic Republic. I
Speaker 1: have a weird time believing that these Kurdish groups couldn't
Speaker 1: pull together for a greater cause. I don't know. There
Speaker 1: are long standing disputes, fair and they need to prove
Speaker 1: solidarity on the field, said Bruckman or Brukman Brooch. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It is less than is less about the
Speaker 1: potential impact of some better or more weapons from the US,
Speaker 1: but rather it will to the will to fight the
Speaker 1: Iranian regime decisively and coordinate military attacks among them. That
Speaker 1: will decide whether the Kurage will add a ground element
Speaker 1: to the US Israeli air campaign. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: as of this moment, I think that would be a
Speaker 1: really as far as just from the American and Israeli side,
Speaker 1: that would be an extremely strategic move. That'd be a
Speaker 1: very good play to try to lean more heavily into
Speaker 1: a Kurdish around assault force.
Speaker 12: He just looked up the word komala in society, group,
Speaker 12: organization or association.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, So basically that's that's they're saying, like the
Speaker 1: society of these things. Okay.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and uh in Devungari Sanskrit Hindi and Indian. Basically,
Speaker 12: it means tender, soft, delegate, and gentle. It's probably just
Speaker 12: a coincidence. That's probably related to the word Kamala.
Speaker 1: I want to say Kamala is she claims, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Depending on who she's talking to. She claims Indian, she
Speaker 1: games black, she claims why she claims Native American. I've
Speaker 1: heard her claim at all. But if she is in
Speaker 1: fact of Indian origin, I wonder if that might have
Speaker 1: been like the actual inspiration for her name.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, I knew a lady named Kamala back in California.
Speaker 12: It is an actual name. Yeah, an Indian name for sure.
Speaker 12: And Kamala Harris is half ethnically Indian and half black
Speaker 12: from the Caribbean somewhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, her dad is Jamaican. But if I'm not mistaken out,
Speaker 1: I thought he was like a white dude that teaches
Speaker 1: in Jamaica. I don't.
Speaker 12: Oh, I'm pretty sure he was black, And I thought
Speaker 12: he moved to the United States and he wasn't even
Speaker 12: one of her supporters. I think he's still alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he definitely didn't support her because she tried
Speaker 1: making a joke about like weed smoking and how like
Speaker 1: she's got Jamaican in her, so like that's a part
Speaker 1: of the culture. Her dad, who is a professor and
Speaker 1: like a very well known guy in the in the
Speaker 1: on the island, was disgusted by this because like he's
Speaker 1: very much against the stereotypical Jamaican stoner vibes. So like
Speaker 1: that was the whole thing. Yeah, I couldn't remember if
Speaker 1: he was black or white. He might as well, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And also for some reason, it's pronounced pamala instead
Speaker 12: of kamala, So they tried to make the argument, you're
Speaker 12: racist if you put the accent on the second syllable.
Speaker 1: Remember that, I too, Oh my god, Yeah, listen, most
Speaker 1: Americans are barely monolingual, Like let's let's be whatever. At
Speaker 1: least they're trying to make the attempt. Good god, trying
Speaker 1: to watch. You've y'all heard me try to attempt to
Speaker 1: pronounce so many names that I have no business trying
Speaker 1: to pronounce. I'm doing my damnes here.
Speaker 12: Oh in Poland that's the second time we ran into
Speaker 12: that r Z E, s z O W pronounce.
Speaker 1: There's no fucking way I'm gonna remember that. Jeshev.
Speaker 12: You just need to have memorized it.
Speaker 1: My brain only has so much mental capacity, dude, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't be committing these things to memory. But that
Speaker 1: I am very grateful for you, Tony, because you're always
Speaker 1: here to keep me in line and help me out
Speaker 1: with so many that just pronunciations. You're here to help
Speaker 1: me with so many conversations, dude.
Speaker 12: So no thanks.
Speaker 1: And here's the Tony absolutely and speaking of this is
Speaker 1: the guy I was asking you about last night, Tony,
Speaker 1: this Iatola Arafi. Now I don't know if this article
Speaker 1: has been verified or not, because all I could find
Speaker 1: right even as I was getting ready to shoot this
Speaker 1: episode tonight, I've see so many things talking about who
Speaker 1: is this new Iyahtola Rafi and there's so many things
Speaker 1: about his background and all this shit. Then I'm finding
Speaker 1: a couple of articles saying that he was also killed.
Speaker 1: And that was on March second, so two days ago
Speaker 1: they had appointed a new Supreme leader. He gets killed
Speaker 1: new Supreme leader. This guy was like the sixth name
Speaker 1: that got dropped on the second and apparently allegedly he's
Speaker 1: been killed too. I don't know this is true or not,
Speaker 1: but this I did want to bring this up anyway,
Speaker 1: because this is the guy that we were talking about
Speaker 1: in a He seemed to be a very well respected
Speaker 1: guy within the Iranian community, both by supporters of the
Speaker 1: Ayatola and otherwise. I don't know. He was the former
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor, so I know if you knew anything
Speaker 1: about the guy.
Speaker 12: Nope, I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, fair enough, Mom, will just read a little
Speaker 1: bit about it here. So, the the inc on the
Speaker 1: appointment papers of Iatola al Elereza Arafi had scarcely dried
Speaker 1: before the brutal reality of a new military age erased
Speaker 1: his name from the scrolls of history and a staggering
Speaker 1: display of intelligence driven warfare, the interim Supreme Leader, elevated
Speaker 1: to preserve a crumbling status quo, was reportedly terminated in
Speaker 1: a fresh wave of strikes on the Iranian capital just
Speaker 1: hours after taking office. So the Ayatola Arafi death, former
Speaker 1: us NSA confirms so. General Mike Flynn, former National Security
Speaker 1: Advisor to the forty fifth president, which would be also
Speaker 1: the anyway, has highlighted breaking reports from Israeli media confirming
Speaker 1: that Iran's newly appointed acting Supreme Leader, Ayatola Arafe, Theresa
Speaker 1: Arafi Jesus Christ has been killed. Arafi had been thrust
Speaker 1: into the role following the death of Iatolla Kamane on
Speaker 1: February twenty eighth, representing a desperate reach for stability by
Speaker 1: clerical establishment. His tenure proved to be one of the
Speaker 1: shortest in modern history, as the new strikes on Tehran
Speaker 1: targeted at the very heart of the Interim Council before
Speaker 1: it could even begin the process of constitutional transition. So again,
Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all, I don't know. And then they
Speaker 1: just bombed the Supreme Council meeting. The dudes are getting
Speaker 1: together to decide on who the next Supreme leader is
Speaker 1: going to be. And I'm not sure if it was
Speaker 1: America or Israel or both on this one, but bomb
Speaker 1: the shit out of that building and killed the entirety
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Council. I don't know if or when
Speaker 1: a new Iatota will be selected, but I thought it
Speaker 1: was worth bringing up. So now let's talk about this.
Speaker 1: This is from what is this sky News so Iran War?
Speaker 1: What has been hit so far? In the military assets
Speaker 1: in play? So on screen we got this map and
Speaker 1: it shows a lot of different jumps that have taken
Speaker 1: place from point A to point B. Here, let's see
Speaker 1: if we could play this video and learn a bit
Speaker 1: more together.
Speaker 3: This war has gone from a standing stock to full
Speaker 3: frontal multi country conflict. In chaos, it's hard to understand
Speaker 3: what's going on, what's being targeted, and where might be next,
Speaker 3: So the sky News Data and Forensics team has been
Speaker 3: mapping the key theaters. This is how the war has escalated.
Speaker 3: The US and Israel have carried out more than one
Speaker 3: hundred strikes on Iranian targets so far. These have been
Speaker 3: met with counter strikes from Iran, which has attack sites
Speaker 3: in Israel and has struck the US embassy in Riad
Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia. How do Iran's capabilities measure up? This
Speaker 3: map shows the range of Iranian missiles. Yellow is near range,
Speaker 3: Red is more towards the limits. Its longest range missile,
Speaker 3: the Sagil, has a maximum range of up to two
Speaker 3: thousand kilometers twelve hundred miles. According to defense experts, that's
Speaker 3: far enough to hit Moscow or Athens. They're still well
Speaker 3: short of giving around the ability to strike the UK
Speaker 3: let alone the United States, and that's before even taking
Speaker 3: into consideration that many of their stocks have already been destroyed.
Speaker 3: Sky's Data and Forensics team has plotted US and UK
Speaker 3: air bases in the Middle Eastern US Europe that can
Speaker 3: be used to launch attax on Iran. The conflict has
Speaker 3: highlighted the strategic importance that joined US UK military base
Speaker 3: on Diego Garcia, one of the Chagos Islands. This map
Speaker 3: shows the movement of US military planes to the Middle
Speaker 3: East over the past week. This dot in the middle
Speaker 3: of the ocean is Diego Garcia, a joint US UK
Speaker 3: military base. Sakir Starmer had initially refused permission for the
Speaker 3: US to use British bases in this war. That position
Speaker 3: changed on Saturday with an hours US planes began arriving
Speaker 3: in Diego Garcia. That includes this C five Galaxy transport aircraft,
Speaker 3: the largest such aircraft in the US Arsenal capable of
Speaker 3: transporting fighter jets. It was captured on Stateite imagery at
Speaker 3: the base on Sunday mornings, sitting on the tarmac alongside
Speaker 3: six F sixteen fighter jets. The Data and Forensics team
Speaker 3: has also been tracking US and Iranian military ships in
Speaker 3: the Middle East. At least three US military ships are
Speaker 3: reported to be in the Persian Gulf and twelve around
Speaker 3: the Middle East and Mediterranean. Sky News has also tracked
Speaker 3: six Iranian ships in the Strait of Home. They were
Speaker 3: last seen on satellite imagery on the twenty eighth of February.
Speaker 3: They've been in the area for more than two weeks.
Speaker 3: Iran has said that it has closed the strait, which
Speaker 3: is also a major commercial shipping rouse. The ships were
Speaker 3: already avoiding their channel as busy maritime activity almost came
Speaker 3: to a standstill. All tankers are shown here in red,
Speaker 3: cargo vessels in green. Iran's Red Crescent. Society has reported
Speaker 3: that hundreds of Iranians have been killed so far. Several
Speaker 3: US soldiers have been killed in Israel. Civilians have been
Speaker 3: killed too, And this war is only a few days old.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that, oh shit, I didn't mean to go
Speaker 1: full screen mode. They're actually did a pretty decent job
Speaker 1: of laying out the whole situation, honestly. Now, granted that
Speaker 1: was on February twenty eighth that he was talking about
Speaker 1: how the street of horn Moves is blocked. I have
Speaker 1: a weird feeling that all those ships that were being
Speaker 1: used to block it are now at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the Street, so you know they're now going to be
Speaker 1: coral reefs, and that's the thing that happened. Actually, let's
Speaker 1: see when was this posted, So this is actually updated today.
Speaker 1: Let's read more into this. So Israel and US have
Speaker 1: carried out strikes on Iran for a fourth day after
Speaker 1: launching an operation which killed its supreme leader with no
Speaker 1: clear in insight to hostilities. Sky News has mapped the
Speaker 1: assault on both sides and the military assets at play
Speaker 1: in the region. So this is the map of Iran
Speaker 1: and allies and the attacks. So the red explosions are
Speaker 1: Iranian and the yellow explosions are US and Israel. So
Speaker 1: there have been quite a few on both sides here
Speaker 1: as expected. Oh, I didn't realize it was going to
Speaker 1: zoom out that far. That's dope, crying crime. And they
Speaker 1: apparently it's not updated all the way because Turkey should
Speaker 1: have a red one in it, so that's fair. Oh yeah, No,
Speaker 1: the show's as of March fourth, so well at midnight GMT,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's not fully updated as of this moment. Okay,
Speaker 1: Hesreel joined the assault, killing dozens of top ra any
Speaker 1: and military officials in more than one hundred aero strikes
Speaker 1: in three days. Preliminary analysis showed that the United States
Speaker 1: and Israel used a variety of precision guide A munitions
Speaker 1: to strike Iran. These included air delivered weapons such as
Speaker 1: the AGEM one five to four Joint Standoff Weapon, Blue
Speaker 1: Sparrow series, air launched ballistic missiles, and various five hundred,
Speaker 1: one thousand and two thousand pound class bombs he had.
Speaker 1: In addition, Services service missiles were also fired, including sea
Speaker 1: based Tomahawk series missiles and the land based Precision Strike
Speaker 1: Missile PRSM. Once again further confirmation that Yes, America is
Speaker 1: using its latest and greatest as far as military tech
Speaker 1: is concerned. Iran is continuing to retaliate, launching drones and
Speaker 1: missiles targeting Israel, the United Air Immerants, bah Raine, Jordan,
Speaker 1: Oman and Katar. The US has confirmed the death of
Speaker 1: six service members six service members, while the an Arif
Speaker 1: based in Cyprus was also targeted in a drone strie. Right,
Speaker 1: So that is actually pretty up to date, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. The last I saw was that it
Speaker 1: was a confirmed fifth death. This is saying that the
Speaker 1: United States is confirming that we have six service members
Speaker 1: that have died because of this conflict. It's the longest
Speaker 1: range missile, the sag blah blah blah, which we already
Speaker 1: talked about, This is there. This is the farthest they
Speaker 1: could reach. So as much as everybody's worried about this
Speaker 1: becoming a US soil based situation, unless Iron makes a
Speaker 1: call to some sleeper cells that they have some terrorist
Speaker 1: organizations in the United States, they're not gonna actually be
Speaker 1: able to reach US or slab box US or most
Speaker 1: of Europe for that matter. This is this is as
Speaker 1: far as they can go. And again I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that we should take that and not be concerned with it.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that we need to handle it anyway. This
Speaker 1: whole situation needs to get wrapped up sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: Like I said, like the dude said, it's far enough
Speaker 1: to hit Moscow or Athens. So the dude already talked
Speaker 1: about these things. This is the UK and US air
Speaker 1: base is in the Middle East, Europe and British overseas territories.
Speaker 1: So the green are UK air bases, the blue is
Speaker 1: the United States air base and they actually have labels
Speaker 1: on all of these, and then the yellow is US
Speaker 1: and UK not let me really zoom in much on
Speaker 1: this one. But yeah, so this is the situation we have.
Speaker 1: America has multiple air bases in the region all around Iran,
Speaker 1: and that's where if you look at the map of
Speaker 1: where they've hit, it kind of lines up a little
Speaker 1: bit with our strategic bases and asset locations, which makes sense.
Speaker 1: At least fifteen of the planes passed through the British bases,
Speaker 1: including four through Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The
Speaker 1: site has been in the headlines over recent months, with
Speaker 1: Donald Trump criticizing the UK's plans to see control of
Speaker 1: the Chagos Islands to Mauriteus Mauritius. Yeah. Now, the Iran
Speaker 1: conflict has highlighted the strategic importance of the joint US
Speaker 1: UK military base, with Sir Keir Starmer initially refusing permission
Speaker 1: for it to be used. Thankfully he saw sense and
Speaker 1: allowed it and did all the things. Satellite imagery captured
Speaker 1: over the base on Sunday morning shows at least fourteen
Speaker 1: plans planes stationed next to the runway, including six F
Speaker 1: sixteen fighter jets and two P eight Poseidon Maritimes byplanes.
Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, this is kind of given just the
Speaker 1: rundown of the situation, and I actually think the dude
Speaker 1: did a pretty decent job of talking about it before him. Now,
Speaker 1: there was a joke that was being made, Oh well,
Speaker 1: France has already surrendered, so don't worry about them. Well,
Speaker 1: come to find out, France has decided to send in
Speaker 1: their only nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle
Speaker 1: aircraft carrier, is getting sent in to protect French and
Speaker 1: Alli's assets from Iran. So Europe Tuesday was drawn further
Speaker 1: into the US Israel war against Iran and then continues
Speaker 1: to spread in the Middle East, royaling global markets and
Speaker 1: sending oil and gas prices higher. Which, boy, that ain't
Speaker 1: a fucking line. I want to go fill up my
Speaker 1: car today. It's been around like two twenty two thirty
Speaker 1: a gallon, two forty maybe today it was three dollars
Speaker 1: a gallon. Yo, it's been a fucking week. It is bullshit.
Speaker 1: But anyway, moving on, French President Manuel mccroneuh obviously married
Speaker 1: to a dude UH who said he was sending the
Speaker 1: Charles de gaull In nuclear powered aircraft carrier to the
Speaker 1: Mediterranean to protect French and Allies' assets from missiles and
Speaker 1: drones from Iran and it's proxy militious President Trump on
Speaker 1: Tuesday threatened to cut off all trade with Spain after
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the US could not use
Speaker 1: airbases in Spain for its unjustified and dangerous military interventions.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal on that Spain has to out
Speaker 1: loud publicly that they are taking a hardline neutrality stance
Speaker 1: in this situation, which Trump said that there will be
Speaker 1: outright tariffs on Spain if they don't let America use
Speaker 1: their air bases, and Spain basically said fuck you. So
Speaker 1: there will absolutely be not tariff, I'm sorry, embargoes. There's
Speaker 1: going to be hardcore embargoes on Spain after this. So
Speaker 1: if you're one of those people that just love Spanish
Speaker 1: wine or something of what you love comes from Spain,
Speaker 1: you might want to get it now and stock up
Speaker 1: on it because Spain's gonna be put on the blacklist
Speaker 1: for as far as economy is concerned, for quite a while.
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's continue here. So who said what. Francis
Speaker 1: flagship carrier will join RAFEL fighter jets, air defense systems,
Speaker 1: and airborne radar systems. Deployed to protect Cyprus and EU
Speaker 1: member already hit by a Hesbloo drone, and help uphold
Speaker 1: binding defense agreements with Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE the UH.
Speaker 1: Let's see, the Associated Press said. France, Britain, Germany previously
Speaker 1: said they weren't involved in the US Israeli strikes on Iran,
Speaker 1: but Crones said Tuesday that France had already shot down
Speaker 1: Iranian drones in legitimate self defense. Yeah, so apparently Iran
Speaker 1: sent drones over France and they got shot down. Now
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if that was maybe
Speaker 1: a false flag situation. I don't know how valid that is.
Speaker 1: But I did hear reports that France had shot down
Speaker 1: some sort of attack that was meant to hit possibly
Speaker 1: in their area, and they said that it was Iranian.
Speaker 1: So now they're sending their only nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a small gesture. I don't know. Sanchez, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: that's the Spanish dude has become the chief EU critic
Speaker 1: of Trump's strikes on Iran, and Trump has certainly noticed.
Speaker 1: Spain has been terrible, Trump told reporters Tuesday during a
Speaker 1: meeting with the German Chancellor Frederick Murrs all business having
Speaker 1: to do with Spain. I have the right to stop it, embargoes,
Speaker 1: do anything I want with it. And we may do
Speaker 1: that with Spain. Very possible here. So what's next. The
Speaker 1: French carrier deployment as part of Macrone's efforts towards building
Speaker 1: a coalition that will pool resources, including military assets, to
Speaker 1: resume traffic in the straight of horror moves, said The
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. It will also focus on securing the
Speaker 1: Red Sea and Suez Canal. Again, this is why, this
Speaker 1: is why Trump wanted all of the NATO nations to
Speaker 1: spend at least five percent of their GDP on their military,
Speaker 1: just in case something like this takes place. So now
Speaker 1: it's not they're not sending thoughts in prayers. They're sending
Speaker 1: actual assets, which is important, especially now that Turkey just
Speaker 1: got hit. So let's continue UH live updates, Heeg says.
Speaker 1: Says the US just getting started in Iran, or as
Speaker 1: conflict intensifies and spreads, So let's talk about this. The
Speaker 1: secretary told UH says the US is accelerating, not decelerating,
Speaker 1: its one in Iran, and we're just gonna read the
Speaker 1: key takeaways on this one on the fifth day of
Speaker 1: the fight, with more assets head into the region as
Speaker 1: the conflict ricochets from Turkey to Sri Lanka and Israel
Speaker 1: steps up to strike in Tehran and Lebanon. Heg Seth
Speaker 1: said a US torpedo sunk the Iranian warship in the
Speaker 1: Indian Ocean, which we watched the video from earlier. That
Speaker 1: was dope. The Irani regime says that the Iota Kamane's
Speaker 1: three day funeral is being postponed amid the continuing escalation
Speaker 1: of the war, which a US based organization says has
Speaker 1: killed more than a thousand civilians in the country, including
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and eighty children. Wow, six US
Speaker 1: troops have been killed since the war began. That's also
Speaker 1: not positive. Israeli official set intelligence indicates Iran could have
Speaker 1: enriched uranium to ninety percent or weapons grade within two
Speaker 1: weeks if it had decided to do so before the
Speaker 1: US and Israel launch strikes, but that Iran's weaponization group
Speaker 1: is still far from producing a classic nuclear bomb. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's nothing but hot takes on that one there, all right?
Speaker 1: Moving on now, well, I want to see where was
Speaker 1: this one? All right? So Pentagon identifies fifth soldier killed
Speaker 1: you with the in the war in Iran. Let's get
Speaker 1: forward here, So this is the guy. The death to
Speaker 1: in Iran has risen two one forty five since the
Speaker 1: attacks began Saturday. Counter attacks have killed at least six
Speaker 1: US service members. White House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt
Speaker 1: said ground troops are currently not part of the plans
Speaker 1: in the Iran war, but did not take the option
Speaker 1: fully off the table. Pentagon chief heg Seth said officials
Speaker 1: are investigating a strike on a girls' school in souther
Speaker 1: Iran that killed one hundred and seventy five people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I've looked into that, and as of this moment,
Speaker 1: I can't find any verifiable evidence to say that that
Speaker 1: was an American strike. I'm not saying that the school
Speaker 1: was not hit. I am saying that it's it's also
Speaker 1: really near what was an Iraqi launch site, and it's
Speaker 1: possible that one of their munitions went squirrely and hit
Speaker 1: this school, and in the fog of war, they're saying
Speaker 1: that Americans dropped it. Now, I'm not saying there's a
Speaker 1: zero percent chance that America did not hit this school.
Speaker 1: It's very possible we did. It's not probable statistically, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We're gonna find out more as time goes on.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Sam, I've seen patriots and everything from over
Speaker 1: there where.
Speaker 2: It looked like the missile went up and it went
Speaker 2: squarely and it came back down onto the school.
Speaker 1: But it was from the ideology, the icg all, whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck they're called Aranians. Yeah, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I've seen too. So yeah, it's just there was friendly
Speaker 1: fire from iron, honestly, and that's I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: that with one hundred percent certainty. I am saying that
Speaker 1: I I'm about ninety nine percent positive that's what took place.
Speaker 1: But it is also very possible that America fucked up.
Speaker 1: It does happen, not often anyway. Moving on here. Next article.
Speaker 1: Iran claims the largest r radar in golf destroyed all
Speaker 1: about a billion dollar machine. Yeah, now let's talk about
Speaker 1: this one. So the IRGC claims that the radar was
Speaker 1: completely destroyed in the precision missile strike. It was later
Speaker 1: corroborated by Katari officials. So this was the largest and
Speaker 1: most expensive radar in the entire Arabic golf area. It
Speaker 1: was American owned and apparently Iran could successfully destroyed it. Here.
Speaker 1: That's not good. That was a good way that we
Speaker 1: were keeping track of what kind of air assets and
Speaker 1: ordinance was going in the sky at any given time.
Speaker 1: And that's gone now, so let's talk about it here.
Speaker 1: The Iraq, by US and Israel and Iran has expanded
Speaker 1: to a wider Middle Eastern conflict and not just cost lives,
Speaker 1: but saw the destruction of military weapons worth billions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Several reports in the Iranian media have claimed that in
Speaker 1: an FPS one thirty two, the largest American radar in
Speaker 1: the Gulf, has been destroyed, citing IRGC public relations office,
Speaker 1: Tehran Times and another outlet said that the radar has
Speaker 1: a tracking range of five thousand kilometers. Both US President
Speaker 1: Trump and Iranian authorities have said the conflict will continue
Speaker 1: for a long time. He said five weeks. Trump said
Speaker 1: five weeks. It's not a long time anyway. So this
Speaker 1: is breaking news from the Tehran Times IRGC public Relations
Speaker 1: the American radar FP one two, with the range of
Speaker 1: five thousand kilometers, station in Qatar with unique equipment designed
Speaker 1: for tracking ballistic missiles, was completely destroyed. So radars like
Speaker 1: that are indispensable for modern air defense systems because they
Speaker 1: are were because they enable timely totection, tracking, and interception.
Speaker 1: As per a report in Defense Security Asia, the early
Speaker 1: warning system is stationed at the ai or Aludead Air
Speaker 1: Base and guitar excuse me, and has unique equipment designed
Speaker 1: for tracking ballistic missiles. It was installed by the United
Speaker 1: States in twenty thirteen at a cost of approximately one
Speaker 1: point one billion dollars that would probably be closer to
Speaker 1: about two billion today's world. IRGC claimed the radar was
Speaker 1: completely destroyed in a precise missile strike. It was later
Speaker 1: coroberated by the Katari officials, representing a severe disruption to
Speaker 1: US surveillance operations and could be a blow to the
Speaker 1: integrated air defense architecture protecting Allied Gulf states. So this
Speaker 1: is it. This is the radar on fire. Because the
Speaker 1: Iranians did in fact score a good hit. That's not
Speaker 1: that's not good for us. We can rebuild, I understand that.
Speaker 1: But still, as of right now, that's kind of a
Speaker 1: big one as far as this is concerned. Building up
Speaker 1: to the attack, which the US named Epic Fury Washington
Speaker 1: symbol of the Largest Force and our Amada and some
Speaker 1: of its most powerful weaponry. Among these are the B
Speaker 1: two bombers batwing stealth bombers. Priced at more than a
Speaker 1: billion dollars per fighter jet, they are the most potent
Speaker 1: platform in the US Air Force. Okay, so they're just
Speaker 1: kind of going on and on about the rest of
Speaker 1: what's going on. Anyway, I did want to bring this up, Iran.
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time pronouncing that of this moment,
Speaker 1: Iran did in fact score a successful hit on the
Speaker 1: largest radar that we had in the region. And that's
Speaker 1: not positive, but it is a true statement. Moving on
Speaker 1: to the next one here, So this is from people.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious because this was actually sent in by
Speaker 1: by y'all, by the retinue before we started this. So
Speaker 1: CDC issues travel advisory for thirty two countries, including several
Speaker 1: in Europe. Overspread of paralyzing disease. Okay, an thing to
Speaker 1: get the people to stop talking about Epstein. That's that's
Speaker 1: clearly what this is, honestly, but all right, sure, let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. The CDC has issued a Level two
Speaker 1: alert cautioning travelers to practice enhance precautions if they plan
Speaker 1: to visit one of thirty two countries due to the
Speaker 1: spread of polio. Polio, fucking polio's back. We have the
Speaker 1: vaccine for that, and like I'm not even trying to
Speaker 1: take the anti vaxxer or the provaxer stance. Like we
Speaker 1: have the technology to combat polio. But like, all right, sure,
Speaker 1: the alert stay says people should be up to date
Speaker 1: in their polio vaccine. Up to date. That's not something
Speaker 1: you have to get done multiple times. What are we
Speaker 1: talking about here, Okay, adding that those of travel plans
Speaker 1: are eligible for a single dose booster. Do not y'all, Hey,
Speaker 1: do not go get a polio booster. That's that's not
Speaker 1: how that works. Anyway. Polio is a crippling disease that
Speaker 1: can cause parae analysis and maybe fatal according to the CDC.
Speaker 1: Right because COVID also had like a ninety eight percent
Speaker 1: killed ratio according to the CDC, that later got brought
Speaker 1: down to like two percent. But anyway, a traveler alert
Speaker 1: has been issued warning Americans to take precautions against polio
Speaker 1: which is spreading in Europe and elsewhere across the globe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would also be because of their Islamic population. Just
Speaker 1: for overthought, the US Centers for Disease Control issued a
Speaker 1: level to alert, cautioning travelers to practice enhance precautions before
Speaker 1: visiting thirty two countries. Is there a list of what
Speaker 1: these thirty two countries are? I just have a weird feeling.
Speaker 1: I hope they don't. How about that. However, vaccination hesitancy
Speaker 1: is on the rise, contributing to the spread of these
Speaker 1: once nearly eliminated diseases. Health and Human Servants head Robert F. Kennedy,
Speaker 1: Junior's lawyer and ally Aaron Siri petitioned the FDA in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to revoke approval of the polio vaccine,
Speaker 1: which eradicated the disease in the US, and in January,
Speaker 1: doctor Kirk Milhoun milhone, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the
Speaker 1: Advisor Committee on Immunization Practices, suggested vaccines against polion and
Speaker 1: other diseases should be optional. If there is no choice,
Speaker 1: then informed consent is an illusion. I would agree. Without consent,
Speaker 1: it is medical battery. Again, your boy has not lied.
Speaker 1: The full list of countries or the polio is spread
Speaker 1: includes Afghanistan, Algeria, and Gola, benign Burkina, Faso, Cameroon, Central
Speaker 1: African Republic, Chad, Ivory Coast Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Finland, Gaza, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Israel, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan,
Speaker 1: Papua New Guinea, Poland, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan, Spain, Sudan, Tanzania,
Speaker 1: United Kingdom, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. So if you plan on
Speaker 1: going to any of these places then and they're telling
Speaker 1: you to take extra precaution while traveling and get a
Speaker 1: polio booster Jesus Christ. Okay, anyway, moving on, I think
Speaker 1: that might be all he had on this episode, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Out of Fox News thing pulled
Speaker 1: up here, But yeah, we already read this one, okay, y'all.
Speaker 1: So there we have it. This is the end of
Speaker 1: the episode. Unless anybody has any saved rounds or anything
Speaker 1: they want to talk about on their end. I think
Speaker 1: actually this is as good a spot as any to
Speaker 1: end it. The war is raging on. Iran has made
Speaker 1: some very decent hits on some of their enemies. We
Speaker 1: have done some serious damage to the Iranian infrastructure, and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna stop anytime soon. Trump is saying that
Speaker 1: this could take place over the next four to five weeks.
Speaker 1: Multiple countries are throwing in their support. France is sending
Speaker 1: in their own nuclear powered aircraft carrier. I don't actually
Speaker 1: think that France is gonna like get into it, but
Speaker 1: it's at least a kind gesture from a cron you know.
Speaker 1: I'll take that for the wind. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: Australia and Can have thrown their support in behind us.
Speaker 1: Britain was very anti this whole situation, and now they're
Speaker 1: kind of throwing in their weight behind us as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to make of it, y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm as of this moment, hoping that America does not
Speaker 1: make this a long standing nation building campaign. I hope
Speaker 1: that we get in do the things, arm the Kurds,
Speaker 1: let the revolution happen in the way that it's going to,
Speaker 1: Let the people have an election, decide how they want
Speaker 1: to do it, Let it become the Persian state that
Speaker 1: it was always meant to be. That's where I'm at
Speaker 1: with it. But I understand, you know, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that we're not here because of Israel or vice versa.
Speaker 1: What I am saying is that unless we start sending
Speaker 1: battalions of infantry onto the soil. At this point, it's
Speaker 1: air raids, it's not it's not that much of a
Speaker 1: it's not dirty yet, and I hope that it doesn't
Speaker 1: go extra dirty because American public does not want that.
Speaker 1: If anything, they have fought openly against going in wars.
Speaker 1: Trump got elected on a no new war policy, and
Speaker 1: then he is sending troops to Ecuador, Venezuela, Iran, Mexico. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying. It's oh wild things, y'all.
Speaker 1: And as always, the Cajun Night will be here to
Speaker 1: keep you up to date on what is going on.
Speaker 1: As we're wrapping up here. If anybody would like to
Speaker 1: join in the conversation next Wednesday night at nine pm
Speaker 1: Central and every Wednesday night at nine pm Central, go
