       This is not an empty threat. If the US attacks Iran and Iran sinks an aircraft carrier, the uninformed public will embrace Israel's war on Iran. That will be the kinetic start of WW3. https://www.thedefensenews.com/news-details/Iran-Threatens-to-Sink-USS-Abraham-Lincoln-as-US-Carrier-Strike-Group-Enters-Gulf-Waters-Is-Iran-Capable-of-Sinking-It/

       @Electronwarrior Iran gonna play the numbers game, launching five dozen speedboats, and a thousand drone decoys at her as a diversion?  Then launch surprise hyper-sonic carrier buster missile, or torpedorz?

       @blitzed The navy will be overwhelmed by the number by the sheer number of missiles or whatever, I agree.

       @Electronwarrior Phalanx systems might meltdown firing thousands of rounds per minute.  But hey some maybe equipped with lasers, rail guns n junk by now as well.

       @Electronwarrior Potentially, them carrier strike groups ain't no joke tho.  But yeah perhaps that is why Trump wants newgen bigly battleships to beef things up.

       @blitzed @Electronwarrior They're mostly just coffins at this point.  Their glory days are behind them.Can the public get energized for a war with Iran?  Probably not.  Recruitment levels remain low and half of the country sees the U.S. military as evil fascists - even more so after Venezuela.

       @Bunsen @Electronwarrior Yeah in some ways relics, as warfare has changed...even Russia's "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine, wild to see how weaponized drones suddenly became a thing...and Russia has fielded iterations of it's Oreshnik hyper-sonics.

       @blitzed @Electronwarrior These hypersonic missiles are insane.  They're impossible to shoot down because they allegedly travel at Mach 25 (19,157 miles per hour and 30,500 kilometers per hour).  😬Edit:  Between Mach 5 and Mach 9 is more plausible.  Mach 25 is more than likely misinformation.

       @Bunsen @blitzed @Electronwarrior I don't wanna be the "akshually" guy but there's been so much misinformation about these "hypersonic" missles. I will try to keep this short.1. The Oreshnik is a fairly conventional ICBM. The missile itself only travels at Mach 5 during flight. The submunitions can reach up to Mach 11 at descent, but they're no different than any other ICBM other than they launch from a higher altitude to gain more speed. Without a nuclear payload they're just like a 200lb TNT bomb. But yes they cannot be stopped. 2. There is apparently the "Zircon" missile that is an actual cruise missile (not an ICBM) that uses a scramjet to reach mach 9 in the atmosphere. There might be tech that can intercept it but apparently they are almost impossible to get a radar lock on. I've only seen one video of what claims to be them flying overhead and it looks like Star Wars.

       @wingedhussar @blitzed @Electronwarrior Thank you for the info.  I'm beginning to think that Mach 25 is an exaggeration.These missiles are still effective weapons, nonetheless.

       @Bunsen @blitzed @Electronwarrior Yes, Mach 25 is not a thing yet lol. They've used the Oreshniks without a nuclear payload in Ukraine. You use the sheer velocity of the empty (or solid metal filled) warhead to create the effect of a small TNT bomb. Evidently it's enough to strike critical targets deep in Ukraine without a lot of collateral damage. Analysts speculate however the missile could carry up to 1 megaton of nuclear effect if armed. The only way to stop it is if you would be able to shoot it down at take off inside Russia. Once its up in the atmosphere and it deploys its submunitions, it's a done deal.

       @blitzed @wingedhussar @Bunsen Personally, based on what I know, admittedly not much, it wouldn't surprise me to take significant naval loses. At the conclusion, Israel should be parking lot.

       @Bunsen @blitzed @wingedhussar ships used to be one of the safest places to be, now they might be the most dangerous. After all they are target number one, for Iran. America can't project power without it's naval assets.

       >Can the public get energized for a war with Iran?  Probably not.  If Iran sank a boat named after Abraham Lincoln, would libshits celebrate? I think they might, because they love toppling statues. He probably represents huWhite supremacy and misogyny in their minds.  And the soldiers weren't disobeying Trump, so there's that. Reminder that the US played an active role in the "Ukrainian" (actually NATO) attack on the Moskva, flew their Predator drone over the Black Sea to provide a much needed distraction. It'd be hilarious if the carrier were hit by a Neptune missile bought off the black market.

       @MCMLXVIIOTG @Bunsen @Electronwarrior @blitzed A couple months ago I would have agreed with you, but after seeing how many people cheered for the snatching of Maduro and taking Greenland, potentially by force, I'm starting to reaccess the the IQ and understanding of my fellow right of center Americans downward.Now, I have no love for Maduro, and I can see some of the strategic advantages of owning Greenland, but the "Rah, rah!  Go get 'em!" response to those events was a bit more than I expected.

       I figure most of the voices cheering are too old to fight, and even they aren't a hive mind. I saw a rightwing boomer post a meme mocking how the DOJ arrested a foreign president but still hasn't made a move against Epstein's clients.

       @MCMLXVIIOTG @Electronwarrior @Charles_in_Charge @blitzed Yeah, and the raid on Maduro did not boost his approval ratings.  They're still trending downwards.Here's another factor to consider: the loudest, pro-American voices are dying off one by one.  Hulk Hogan's death is an example of this.  With less people like him, the "Rah rah, America" attitude begins to evaporate.
