It's doubtful we could defend our three aircraft carriers in the strait of Hormuz from Iran missiles and would likely lose at least one. That would literally change the perception of power throughout the world when people know their vulnerable. It's the bluff you kind of never want to see called the old illusion of projection of power only works if you think they're impenetrable.


Iran's show of force against the iron dome has shown aircraft carriers are now ancient technology.

In any future long distance war it's long distance missiles that will rule the skies and the battlefield. Even jet fighters almost don't matter.

Israel says they rule the skies over Iran but what I ran is showing is that's old thinking and it no longer matters. They can pop up and fire five or 10 or 20 missiles in 5 minutes from hiding places it doesn't matter if Israel thinks they own Iran skies because I ran can inflict heavy damage on Israel without its guys. It doesn't need aircraft.

And if one of Iran's missiles was able to take out one of the US carriers around the strait of Hormuz then all the carriers in the world going to different ports around the world to threaten other countries would no longer matter because the race to develop similar weapons by every single small country in the world would happen so quickly that they would no longer be threatened by aircraft carriers.

The biggest mistake Trump could make is to put those aircraft carriers in danger because only by them not being in danger is the illusion of projection of power still maintained. Once one is lost the illusion of America's ability to project power is suddenly gone.

More of a personal spot for me. This pulley driven elevator took me from suburbia with the church/college/school spots to downtown. Where there were ledges in alleys, pavillions unoccupied, good stair sets, parking decks with great manual pads at the top where we could watch the sun sink. Easy to get to industrial areas with loading decks. The nice ladies that operated it stop charging me cause I came and went so often. Usually with friends but sometimes solo.

I've always liked them. I know they're not as practical as the AR platform.
