Defo we miss your sarcasm

Good to hear that you are 'alright.'

Yeah, I agree that humans are stupid animals.

One quick question regarding this debacle: 28 February 2026 the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab was hit causing the deaths of over 170 young ladies. The strike/strikes were by BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM).

Side A says the Israelis did it and Side B says it was the U.S. (probably Navy).

If anyone knows I figure that you would know, so I ask you what do you know?

Be well my friend

Do Israelis operate tomahawks ?

TLAMs are operated by the USN only. So, the culprit is obvious.

...and that despite the fact that this was a double-tap attack, which is a standard Israeli practice.

Have you heard if they double tapped the other targets as well during that strike?

Thank you Tom and everyone else.

I read that the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school was formerly a military building converted to a school. Also that the school was "NEAR" the Shuhada military complex and the IRGC Navy Asif Brigade HQ.

So I figure that the gross stupidity of the Orange Menace (#47) has become contagious with it's lackeys and that they were too stupid to see if OLD intel was still valid.

It's so bad here (U.S.) that I cannot ever listen to our national anthem.....anyways....

As far as is known, the strike was carried out by the US Navy, and intelligence data was provided by Israeli intelligence. I highly doubt that anyone in the command really wanted to throw away $2 million just to kill these children. Rather, this incident is more indicative of the "high" level of preparation for this operation in Iran. Oh, yes. It seems Trump doesn't have the drones to destroy Iranian drones and the Trump team has come up with the brilliant idea of buying Ukrainian companies to get their hands on the technology.

Will you also be organizing Rickshaws for the Iranians and soon Cubans ?

Sarcastosaurus's avatar

If this goes on, I'll be organising a rickshaw for myself. Is going to bring me back home faster than either finding a suitable flight, or walking back home...

Hermetics's avatar

So, that's a no. You might be better off staying where you are. If this mess escalates, there might not be Europe to come back to.

I am very much looking forward to hearing Tom's comment on the war. Somehow I don't think it's going to support the ra-ra viewpoint of my MAGA acquaintances.

It’s good to know that your absence was work related and not family or health related. Stay safe

Ibrahim's avatar

Oh, man just when we need you, at least you're doing well

Nigel Christopher's avatar

Stay safe and productive.

You missed my birthday!

Safe travels.

Glad to hear you are alright, also that the Rickshaws are on ball. Looking forward to usual reporting, but take care first and foremost.
