AntiCapitalist MeetUp: US attacks Iran (again) [1]

Meteor Blades introduced the topic I had planned on the upcoming 3 million acre land sale by the US federal government a couple of days ago, so I thought I’d introduce some ideas about military Keynesianism since the brink of war has been reached. As a meet-up we perhaps might want to share opinions on last evening’s attack. I will opine on the federal land sales in next week’s ACM.
The USAF bombed Iran on Saturday night, attacking three nuclear fuel research sites, accompanying the Israeli assassination of Iranian scientists and major members of the Iranian government. Now that we’re past the Solstice, early days will be shorter, especially for greater hegemonic military engagement, and potentially international terrorism.
Trump wore his MAGA hat in the situation room during the operation
Trump’s bombing of Iran has reportedly failed to destroy the Fordo nuclear facility despite Trump claiming last night that it was “completely and totally obliterated.”
.. (S) even bat-winged, B-2 stealth bombers flew east undetected for 18 hours, keeping communications to a minimum, refueling in mid-air, the U.S. military revealed on Sunday. As the bombers neared Iranian airspace, a U.S. submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles. U.S. fighter jets flew as decoys in front of the bombers to sweep for any Iranian fighter jets and missiles. The attack on Iran's three main nuclear sites was the largest operational strike ever by B-2 stealth bombers, and the second-longest B-2 operation ever flown, surpassed only by those following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States by al Qaeda. The B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-busting GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, each weighing 30,000 pounds. The operation involved over 125 U.S. military aircraft, according to the Pentagon. From the U.S. military's perspective, the operation was a resounding tactical success. The Iranians were unable to get off a single round at the American aircraft and were caught completely flat-footed, General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon on Sunday.
www.reuters.com/... Fordo, one of the three targets "Iran's fighters did not fly, and it appears that Iran's surface to air missile systems did not see us throughout the mission," Caine said. "We retained the element of surprise." x I think everyone obsessing over the fact that WWIII started should read about Stuxnet, because I'm a cybersecurity professor and I know a little bit about American cyberwarfare. The US and Israel *admitted* they made Stuxnet against Iran back in 2009.

We are in a place similar to the beginning of the second Iraq invasion of 2003, as Donald Rumsfeld did his impression of Robert McNamara.
