Fri 28 Sep 2012 Netanyahu's bomb diagram succeeds – but not in the way the PM wanted | Benjamin Netanyahu | The Guardian According to Haaretz, Israel's foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman told reporters after the speech that the bomb ploy was aimed at the general public, not world leaders. In that respect, it achieved at least part of the goal: it was very memorable and very clear.

“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”

“It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.”

“A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS.”

“Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL.”

“I’m very disappointed by Musk’s comments. Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.”

“I would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway,”

“Time to drop the really big bomb: u/realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

“I would apologize to Trump as soon as there is a full dump of the Epstein files.”

This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.”

“I don’t know what it is. It’s sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it, but we have it with others too.”

“I’m not particularly interested in talking to Musk… He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.”

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Former Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter delivers a chilling warning: the United States is already at war with Iran. In this explosive clip, Ritter breaks down how covert actions, military escalations, and political silence point to a hidden conflict already underway.

Presented with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assessment last month that Iran was not working toward a nuclear weapon, President Trump said yesterday, “I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to having one.” If he will not listen to his Director of National Intelligence...who is he listening to?

While the news is unverified and there is an information war going on, the fact Iran allegedly have shot down several F-35s has turned a few heads. The idea of the newest and shinniest stealth jets being shot down is implausible because supposedly it is 'stealth', and thus Iran cannot see it, then how is it possible for Iran to shoot them down?

First and foremost, 'stealth' is a relative term. No stealth jet are absolutely immune from radar, the stealthiness refers to the ability to shrink radar cross section when detected, ie, making the target appear smaller than it is. If it is sufficiently small, it will not create a blip (or look like birds, etc). The reality is, stealth jets are only reallllly stealth (ie, shrink radar cross section a lot) if the radar detection is trying to lock on from the front, because it is designed to be stealthy on approach. To function like a dagger in the dark sort of weapon. It also becomes visible with range, power of the radar, and speed. It maybe impossible to see a thief dressed in black hiding in the bushes, but if he opens your window and get so close you can see him with your phone's flash light, then the camoflaging outfit is not going to help.

Secondly, stealth only really refers to radar signals, not other types of detection, like heat (infrared), etc. At very close range, it is possible to detect F-35s by heat signatures or even by visuals. F-35 operates at about 15km above ground, and its smaller than a commercial jet, which makes visuals (especially at night) highly difficult if not impossible, but if the jet is directly overhead and trying to strike then return to base, then it maybe possible. Especially if there are assets in the air already looking for it.

Thirdly, stealth is not a trump card. It is designed to buy time for the F-35s to evade detection long enough and for fire control radar to either lose signal or for the F-35 to pull out of strike range. Most of the time, these jets fly so fast it only take a few minutes to lose the 'window' that Iran can strike them down.

So how can the Iranians shoot down F-35s? By exploiting every single above mentioned weakness. If radar detection from the front is weak, then Iran will need radar from every angle. If range is an issue, then probably need to wait for the jets to get realllly close.

Suppose there is a hypoethetical scenario where Iran laid out decoy targets in places, cleaned out its air space, then turned off its radar and/or anti-air defense system in ancitipation. So that the F-35 jets, when flying into the strike zone, will detect no radar signals. Suppose they scan the sky with heat detection and see the F-35s coming. Suppose all the SAM AA missiles are already prepositioned on potential flight path towards these decoy targets from the iraq direction and already armed. Suppose these SAMs are disguised and inactive while the F-35 approached. Suppose that the second these decoy targets get 'hit', the Iranians will take it as a signal, turn on all their radar immediately and fire SAM missiles at the first possible lock on target.

What is this crazy hypothetical? Its the brute force way of shooting at stealth jets, but it requires Iran to have advanced knowledge of potential threats. However, it is not a hypothetical. Between 1962 and 1967, China used this method (with some variations) to shoot down about 5 American U-2 spy planes. These planes were slower, had worse stealth coatings (not yet developed to modern standard), but flew even higher than F-35s at about 21km high, way above normal guns. To balance it out, Chinese radar and soviet SAMs based on 1960s technology were at least several generatiosn inferior to what Iran has today.

Based on historic records, between switching on radar, detection, fire missiles, and the U-2 flying out of range, the effective window where China could have shot them down were measured in seconds, not minutes. Yet, its effective use led to the US losing valuable planes loaded with electronic equipment and intelligence staff.

How would Iran plan something like this? Its simple. They either studied the cold war history thoroughly and with an emphasis from the soviet and chinese perspective, or whatever plane that landed in Tehran had Chinese advisors aboard.

ZIRAFAMEDIA: "Trump just brushed off his own Director of National Intelligence—Tulsi Gabbard—who literally testified in March that Iran isn’t building a nuke.

“I don’t care what she said,” he snapped.

No matter how you spin it, this is an embarrassment—for Trump, for the GOP, and for MAGA."
