RantWoman with absolutely no background in Weapons Speak, the mlibrary of military hardward and national security jargon, has been wondering how long it would take someone to notice the vulnerability of aircraft carriers.

Why U.S. Aircraft Carriers Are Pulling Back: The Hidden Threat of Iran’s “Squirter” Missiles

One concise summary: "build more submarines and fewer aircraft carriers." but listen to the whole analysis. LOTS of tradeoffs discussed.

The Carrier Retreat: Why the US Navy Just Pulled the USS Abraham Lincoln Out of the Gulf

IRGC fired missiles. The carrier moved southeast out of the range of the missiles.

military reality vs information warfare reality

deterrence paradox: avoiding the biggest conflicts makes smaller engagements more likely.

history of USS Abraham Lincoln service in the Persian Gulf.

IRGC launching 4 missiles at the USS Abraham Lincoln was not intended to sink theship but did send a message. Militaries worldwide saw the message.

Drones are orders of magnitude cheaper than Patriot missile interceptors.

Drone attacks on LNG tankers cause explosions without the same environmental risk as oil spills from oil tankers.

US torpedoes UNARMED Iranian ship that had been invited to Indian military exercises. Law of war requires rescue of shipwrecked sailors. The US did not. Instead, Sri Lanka rescued sailors from this strike and another Iranian ship.

The US is not respecting any international laws anymore.

Put money for Ukraine into any supplemental for Iran?

Did (US voters) vote for US taxpayers to eat the risk of any ships getting attacked in the straits of Hormuz?

Who bombed the Girls' School? Blatant Disinformation from pro-monarchist channels

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth

"We need more information.... The Girls' school is right next to an IRGC navy base."

MASSACRE At Iran Girls’ School STUNS World

Mention of royalist claims that the IRGC attacked the Girls' school but that seems unlikely because of timing and sequence of different strikes and stated intent by US and Israel to destroy Iranian navy.

RantWoman snark:

--"Oh no. Those civilians right next to military targets!" "everybody" does it and accuses everyone else of targeting civilians.

--Does anyone seriously think that the pedophile president really cares about the needs and challenges of Iranian women? And dear #GOP congresswomen, RantWoman is asking YOU.
