A Very Good Piece From Pepe ...
... about this whole mess.
The whole drama, predictably, developed as Deceit in the Making. The war was ordered by the leader of a death cult in West Asia, a genocidal psycho who then took refuge in his “Wing of Zion” and fled to… Berlin. His American sidekick, neo-Caligula, a megalomaniacal Narcissus, co-ordered the war from Mar-a-Lago.
Read it. Now for people who continue to propose idiotic schemes such as "Russia should have transferred to Iran ..." 3M22 Zircon, Kinzhal (with MiG-31 K, right?), S-500, Oreshnik et al. So, you are proposing Russia transferring to Iran systems so advanced that CIA, Mossad and MI6 would kill to even have a pick at them and in the country where fifth column is still active. Get a grip. This is not military technology fanboys' blog. I do actually have professional military background.
While at it--this is the dawning on some Iranians who those diaspora are.
Mario Nawfal and Yours Truly.
Live in an hour.
They Should Have Listened ...
... to me.
Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all, according to a source in the briefing. The drones, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged, are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, two sources in the briefing told CNN. They are known to fly low and slow – a feature that makes them more able to evade air defenses than ballistic missiles. Another source familiar with the briefing said the officials made an attempt to downplay concerns about the drones and noted that Gulf state partners had been stockpiling interceptors.
Well, these are not just "one-way drones", CNN morons do not even know that those are loitering munitions. As we now have more and more visual evidence, both missile and drone strikes are dealing a major damage to US bases and critical technical facilities and assets such as yet another THAAD's AN-TPY-2 Radar destroyed, plus a two AN/GSC-52B of Navy's satcomms are goners now and Donnie's "plan" (Israeli plan, really) seems to go nowhere. But the US air defense is a whole other story. For the first time since Vietnam the US is encountering people who shoot back and it hurts.
Larry gives a good math of US AD inventory:
Note that I am assuming that the entire inventory of US Patriot missiles have been deployed to Israel and US bases in the region. That is a false assumption because there are Patriot missile batteries with a full complement of missiles in other theaters. At present there are three Patriot battalions permanently assigned/forward-deployed to INDOPACOM (e.g., in South Korea/Japan/Guam areas, like 35th ADA Brigade and 1-1 ADA at Kadena); EUCOM has one Patriot battalion assigned (e.g., units in Germany like Baumholder/Ansbach areas, supporting NATO/Eastern flank). The US Army has 15 Patriot battalions total (14 fully available as of mid-2025, with one in modernization), each typically consisting of 4–6 batteries (a battery is the firing unit with launchers/radars). A Patriot battery (also called a fire unit) typically includes 6–8 launchers (Launching Stations), though configurations vary by operator, mission, and launcher type (e.g., M903 for modern U.S. systems). If we assume that the four Patriot battalions have four batteries each, with 72 missiles per battery, we get a total of 1,152 missiles that must be subtracted from the maximum possible number deployed to the Middle East — i.e., the actual inventory, using the most conservative estimate, is 1,221. That means the US inventory of PAC-3 MSE missiles, using the assumptions above that Iran is firing 60 ballistic missiles per day, the supply of missiles will run out in 10 days. This is why I assert that Donald Trump is out of touch with reality.
We know that Donnie is out of touch as is US Secretary of War--the guy with "degree" in Politics from Princeton and pseudo-military course from ROTC and who still didn't graduate from the mentality of at best platoon CO. His "combat experience" in Afghanistan being worthless in matters of REAL war and stand-off weaponry flying at you.
Now about terrorist 404 attack on Russian gas transport in Med.
In SMO news. 404 continues to get it, big time. Here are some views of Geranium flying in Poltava to visit dwindling energy infrastructure of 404.

They Are Free To Discuss ...
... whatever they want. But as some media report, these are Europeans when they recognized that there will be no gas from Qatar and no gas from Russia.
And the whole thing weighs heavily on Europe.
OSLO, March 3 (Reuters) - The impact on energy flows of U.S. and Israeli military attacks on Iran and Iran's drone and missile launches against its neighbours could reopen debate in the European Union over banning Russian natural gas imports, Norway's energy minister said on Tuesday. European gas prices have jumped 75% this week, hitting multi-year highs as hostilities in and around Iran have impacted gas exports from the Gulf.
Europe can surely "reopen debate" and debate this debate until hell freezes over, but as Russian anecdote goes about a single babushka being a lone seller of sunflower seeds at the completely empty marketplace--responding to a dude who complained that her sunflower seeds are too expensive, she suggested him to "walk around the market, find a better price".
Poor, poor dear this Mark Champion (a rather pretentious second name for a guy who is a sore loser) of Bloomberg, he laments:
The only winner in the US and Israel's conflict with Iran is Putin, writes Bloomberg. Columnist Mark Champion argues that US Navy strikes on Iranian targets reduce the likelihood of arms supplies to Ukraine and deplete American missile stocks. This also fuels the rise in global oil and gas prices, which benefits Russia. A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could revive the market for Russian energy, providing an opportunity to sell unsold oil.
This is what happens when you have a fraudulent "degree" from Georgetown in "Russian studies" and know nothing but more or less proper grammar when writing about things you have no clue about. We knew it was bad, but now it does disintegrate and the only thing they have left is spin. US legacy media are complicit in covering up pedophilia and what amounts to a treason by ruling class, because of that they are one and the same. There is no distinction. Per Macron and France ... LOL.
25th Amendment On the Horizon?
It should be. Trump's unhinged rants cannot hide the fact of a total humiliation for the US and Israel and how he and GOP serve Israel, American homeland be damned by them. Per US Air "Defense" and SMO.
Scott Gives Some Good ...
... rundown on the US "stocks".
