TACO has decreed that Iran must unconditionally surrender. I presume that the alternative to unconditional surrender will be that TACO’s chosen Secretary of Defense will destroy the Fordow nuclear site.
Let’s ponder that for a moment. Pete Hegseth, who can’t even organize a perade, is going to coordinate a strike to knock out the most heavily defended site in Iran, 300 feet under a mountain, and encased in steel and concrete.
The weapons would have to be 30,000 lbs GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP) dropped from B-2 bombers:
“So you have two challenges. You would have to drop two of these penetrators at the exact same site” and likely need multiple bombing rounds, according to David Des Roches, a professor and senior military fellow at the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
It wouldn’t be just a matter of flying some bombers over Iran and opening the bomb bay doors. There’s a whole constellation of support craft, refuelers, interceptors, electronic warfare, and AWACS planes that need to be choreographed, as well. How’s Pete going to handle all that and get his make-up applied at the same time.
Wait, he’s going to use Signal to make sure everyone’s on the same page. I feel better now.
Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Turkey, Y’all better keep your heads down. There’s no telling where those 30k# bombs are going to fall.
This is what happens when you fire experts and send in the clowns.
