They are of course downplaying the certainty of it, which I am… skeptical of, I think they did at the very least try or plan to, but, I also cannot yet find an actual confirmation that it is being redeployed.

That’s fucked. Kim Jong Un probably has a boner reading about this

Double post, but…

Its confirmed.

The United States has been moving parts of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system from South Korea to the Middle East, the Washington Post reported, citing two officials.

The reported movement of parts of a THAAD missile defense system comes amid media reports that the U.S. military stationed in South Korea has shipped out some of its military assets amid an intensifying war in the Middle East.

“The Pentagon is moving parts of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system from South Korea to the Middle East,” the report said.

The United States, engaged in a war with Iran, has begun relocating part of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system deployed in South Korea to the Middle East, the Washington Post (WP) reported on the 9th (local time), citing two U.S. Department of Defense officials.

The South Korean THAAD system appears to be being at least partially dismantled and redeployed.

… against the wishes of South Korea.

The Korean government has expressed its opposition to the transfer of some U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) air defense weapons to the Middle East, President Lee Jae Myung said Tuesday, but stressed that the move will not weaken the country’s deterrence against North Korea.

Speaking at the beginning of a Cabinet meeting in Cheong Wa Dae, Lee addressed the growing debate over reports that some U.S. air defense batteries stationed in Korea have been transferred abroad.

“We have expressed opposition to USFK transferring some air defense weapons according to its own military needs, but it is also the reality that we cannot fully enforce our position,” the president said.

“If you ask whether this creates serious obstacles for our deterrence strategy against North Korea, I can say with certainty that it does not,” he said.

I mean uh, pressing X to Doubt on that last part, obviously you would say “Don’t worry, everything is fine,” … but yeah, we, the US, appear to be using the South Korean system for parts, and SK President Lee says he can’t stop us from doing so.

Meanwhile, Trump is utterly losing his shit, and in, what, less than two weeks?, has gone from ‘we are going to let Iran liberate itself’ to ‘we will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back as a nation’.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

… back when Trump did Midnight Hammer, the strike against the nuclear sites in Iran, I compared him to Kefka… evil whiny clown.

Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!

This is completely insane. This is the logic of an abusive husband, but directly applied to 10s of millions of people, applied by a man with hundreds to thousands of nuclear weapons.

Flight trackers detected the Boeing E-6B Mercury, a U.S. aircraft used for nuclear command and control, flying over the Gulf of Mexico on March 9, 2026. The military uses the aircraft, often called a “doomsday plane,” as an airborne backup command center if ground systems fail. Observers often interpret its appearance on public flight trackers as a signal that the U.S. nuclear deterrent remains active.

…

Its main purpose is to send secure messages to submarines carrying ballistic missiles. Communicating with submarines is difficult because they operate deep under the ocean, where normal radio signals cannot easily travel through seawater.

… To overcome this challenge, the E-6B Mercury uses very low frequency radio signals that can reach submarines while they remain submerged. The aircraft deploys long trailing wire antennas during flight to transmit these signals. This system ensures submarines remain connected to command authorities and continue to serve as a highly survivable part of the nuclear deterrent.

Flight-tracking data has captured multiple launches of the Navy’s E-6B Mercury strategic airborne command aircraft since the war in Iran began, the Daily Mail reported.

Two E-6B Mercury flights were spotted over the US on March 2, one travelling from the Gulf Coast and landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, and the other taking off and later landing back at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, according to the Daily Mail.

Since those flights, there have been reports from military news outlets of more E-6B launches heading across the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf.

If we do not stop this demented idiot and his regime, we will responsible for destroying the world as we know it.

Being in Canada, I’m feeling so much relief now. My fear of dying soon isn’t entirely gone, but I’m feeling more hopeful.

When the world police run out of resources, they’re unable to police the world anymore and others who have smartly withheld resources will move in on coveted targets.

Israel’s nuclear doctrine is the Samson Doctrine.

Basically, if they get nuked… they nuke Moscow, European capitals, anyone and everyone they can reach.

So… yeah…

Its literally ‘kill everyone’.

That all actually started after World War 1, to be honest.

It was during the first world war that all of the European powers spent literally all their money fighting each other, with both sides then reaching out to the United States for loans to continue fighting each other, which America was of course happy to oblige.

The repayment of those loans constituted the largest transfer of wealth in human history from Europe to the Americas, setting the stage for the American war machine to be completed prior to world war two.

Yeah I hope I made clear that while I know what they will say, I am not agreeing with it or justifying.

All that’s needed is military supremacy.

“Big Beautiful War”
