General "Razin'" Caine: The Massive Ordnance Penetrators Worked Exactly as Designed, and Obliterated Their Targets
CNN's Analyst: I'm Convinced, the Centrifuges Are All Destroyed
Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader emerges from his bunker to declare victory over the US and Israel.
The Pentagon on Thursday released footage of 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs designed to destroy fortified underground targets like Iran's Fordow site. Gen. Dan Caine said all six bombs "went exactly where they were intended," pushing back on claims the sites weren't damaged. Key Details: The footage shows a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) plunging into a target and igniting a fireball through a shaft--highlighting the bomb's ability to penetrate before detonating. Gen. Dan Caine told reporters, "Unlike a normal surface bomb, you won't see an impact crater because they're designed to deeply bury and then function." Caine added the strikes on Iran's Fordow enrichment facility were precise: "All six weapons at each vent... went exactly where they were intended to go." Diving Deeper: The Pentagon on Thursday released dramatic footage illustrating the destructive power of America's most advanced bunker-busting weaponry--just days after questions emerged about the effectiveness of strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. The video showcases the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 30,000-pound bomb specifically engineered to burrow into heavily reinforced underground targets before detonating. One clip shows the bomb piercing a target and triggering a bright inferno shooting through a vertical shaft--highlighting its underground impact rather than surface-level destruction. "Unlike a normal surface bomb, you won't see an impact crater because they're designed to deeply bury and then function," said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Caine during Thursday's briefing at the Pentagon. Caine confirmed that the U.S. deployed six bunker-busters per vent at Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility and emphasized that "all six weapons... went exactly where they were intended to go." The statement appears to directly contradict anonymous claims cited by CNN earlier in the week, which suggested that U.S. strikes had failed to damage nuclear targets. ... "A bomb has three effects that cause damage: blast, fragmentation, and overpressure," Caine explained. "In this case, the primary kill mechanisms... were a mix of overpressure and blast." He concluded with a warning: "Imagine what this looks like six times over."
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's aging theocratic ruler, emerged from hiding Thursday to make his first public remarks since hostilities erupted between Israel and Iran earlier this month. Appearing via video on state-run television, Khamenei painted a picture of Iranian triumph and American failure, using characteristically fiery rhetoric to assert dominance in the aftermath of a fragile ceasefire. "The Islamic Republic was victorious and, in retaliation, delivered a hand slap to America's face," Khamenei declared, referencing Iran's symbolic missile strike on the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday. Though the attack resulted in no casualties or structural damage, Khamenei used it to posture strength, warning, "Such an action can be repeated in the future too. Should any aggression occur, the enemy will definitely pay a heavy price." Khamenei has remained out of sight since June 13, when Israel initiated a targeted campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities and top-level military figures. Following a retaliatory strike by U.S. forces on June 22 -- involving the use of seven stealth bombers and over a dozen bunker-busting bombs -- speculation swirled over the regime's internal chaos. Khamenei's reappearance on Thursday appeared aimed at dispelling doubts about Iran's control and resolve. He dismissed America's involvement as ineffective, saying the United States "achieved no gains from this war." According to Khamenei, the U.S. only intervened after realizing the "Zionist regime would be utterly destroyed" without assistance.CNN immediately offered the Ayatollah a $1.5 million per year contract to serve as their international affairs correspondent.

If the uranium was also destroyed or made inaccessible, they have literally nothing except the intelligence to start again. But Israel definitely hit some of the scientists in the first couple of days of their bombing.

That has always been, and will always be, up to the Iranians. We've been there, done that, with Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the worry about any attack from the right has been the fear that we may try to repeat those mistakes. It's a great relief to see that we are in and out, one and done with Iran.

One new bit of info: the bombs arrived milliseconds apart, which means that the debris kicked up by the first bomb didn't have time to settle back down in to the hole. I imagine that makes a big difference in the cumulative damage.

I find it amusing, for years we've all been saying "You can't go by what Trump says, you can only go by what he does."
And then with this we all... myself included, got all up into what Trump was saying.
It's possible... just possible, what Trump DID here was stop a war from happening, one that he didn't want, even though plenty of people in his administration (and in the other two nations involved) did want.
So, whether it was brilliant maneuvering, or sheer luck, Trump seems to have stopped a war not long after it started.
Which I happen to think is a great thing. Even if others disagree.

Yeah, we can see from the photographs that the MOPs didn't create craters. They didn't blow material into the air leaving an indention in the ground.
They left precise holes on the surface and blew 100m+ below the surface. That wasn't strong enough to move the 100m+ of stone and rock and dirt above it into the air, however, in the moment of explosion, the material should have been closer to a liquid than a solid which would have let another MOP, delivered a few milliseconds later, to pass through more easily.

The War on Iraq went well. It was the nation building that was a disaster, primarily because the administration at the time was never ready to admit that installing "democracy" in a society like that was a fool's errand. At the very least we should have given the Kurds their own country, but I think we didn't for fear that would make the Shiites too strong in what was left, and the Saudi's didn't want that.

War and the continuation for the sake of war has never been Trump's thing even in the first term. Likewise nation building. His nat sec team blocked him and lied to him during his first term and due to political weakness from lawfare, naivety about people like Mattis, and shitty senators blocking good appointees to replace them so you get corporate drones like his last Sec. of Def, resulted in blunting what he could do.

I think Egypt uses the money to buy weapons from us too. And I'm sure a nice fat slab of the billions sent to Uke found its way back into American hands, if the money ever left.
I think the money sent to Israel and Egypt is money well spent. It's part of the Camp David accords, and it helps buy peace. $4B a year is pig's spit compared to what we really waste each year.
The money sent to Uke was a complete waste of fucking money. Might as well have used the money to wipe our asses; woulda got more use out of it that way.

Or, suppose someone sets up a shooter to blow your head off, and you happen to tilt your head at just the right moment, and the bullet just grazes your ear instead.

It's time sensitive, so what ever they decide, it will happen shortly. The Iranian economy was a disaster before Israel came in and started banging things around. The infrastructure is horrendous. 1/3 of the nation had unreliable electricity prior to Israel knocking it out entirely. Inflation is currently approaching 40%, and they are going to have to rebuild by printing money, which will increase it significantly. Buildings, bridges, and the like are in disrepair from decades of neglect and corruption. And, Arabs are running an annoyed, neglected country full of Persians.

Yes and no. The 'President' of the Senate makes the ruling and then any senator can appeal the chair. Ultimately it means that majority rules. Something similar regarding the nuclear option.
There is also a way under Senate rules, that you simply exhaust all the speaking time. Usually takes weeks but it can be done without touching filibuster rules. Basically every senator has the right to speak on the legislation but once they sit down and thus yield the floor, they can no longer rise up to speak again on that particular bill. Eventually, after all senators got a chance for 'unlimited' speaking on the bill, the vote takes place. Ties up the whole senate but it can force through legislation if necessary.

Of that I have no doubt. And as I said upthread, Trump sometimes says things he doesn't mean, and then something happens that seems to contradict what he said.
Doesn't mean he was lying, just means... perhaps, he was executing a strategy that included misdirection. And then got an outcome more in line with his purpose and plan.

6 B-2's were assigned to Fordow. Each with 2 MOP's.
In some photos of Fordow after the strikes you can see 2 sets of 3 "holes" where the GBU-57's were aimed. 2 per vent = 12 MOP's total used on Fordow.
IIRC the first one pretty much blew the "doors open" and the follow on MOP's likely dropped as far down the air shafts as possible before detonating.

My suggestion is to pay extra every month, any extra amount paid at the beginning will have a greater impact on the overall debt and repayment than twice the amount at the end.
I paid a minimum of $200 extra each month, and as I could I made a double payment, or more. I got lucky in a way for some windfalls to pay it off in the end, but they would not have paid off my 30 year in 12 years if I hadn't started off plopping extra cash into the payment every month.
A lot of people think this approach is stupid, but to be honest I don't care. I own the house now, people who pay off a 30 year mortgage in 30 years may never get to the end.

Most if not all. They are all money-grubbing whores, even the rich ones. The few that aren't getting paid are instead using their expression of opinions that are very popular in their industry as "pick me" PR.
The ones that have different opinions and express them usually get crucified and their careers suffer. Jessica Alba was once asked, when she was up-and-coming, something to the effect "how does it feel as a Mexican actress?" She said that she was very mixed race and didn't feel "Mexican." She was instantly slammed and shamed. She immediately saw the writing on the wall, and changed her tune.

You have to grasp the fact that the entertainment industry is one of the least educated of them all. I used to laugh at Jim Carey's pontifications knowing the dolt never even graduated from high school. The added incentive of being in a profession that requires self-importance just to secure employment emphasizes their failings intellectually. Add to that the decision makers perfectly willing to staff their projects based on their own partisan views. And, you have the perfect storm of idiocy.
I think about the theater kids I went to school with, and realize that that is the hybrid of what makes up celebrities today. They weren't known for their humility, empathy, intelligence or dependability. They were known for their facial structure or their boobs.

I paid a minimum of $200 extra each month, and as I could I made a double payment, or more. I got lucky in a way for some windfalls to pay it off in the end, but they would not have paid off my 30 year in 12 years if I hadn't started off plopping extra cash into the payment every month.
A lot of people think this approach is stupid, but to be honest I don't care. I own the house now, people who pay off a 30 year mortgage in 30 years may never get to the end.

I haven't even got around to making the place old people friendly. The house was always owned by younger people. Sunken living room..no railings. Front steps...no railings. Between my father and her parents it takes longer to get them in the house than it did to get the Apollo crew into their capsule. Then the hold the front door open forever. I told the wife the house needs an OPAL. She asked what that was. I said Old People Air Lock.

I am aware that you have a toothache and hate yourself and feel remorse over letting you puppy out into the street when you were six, but the point is that every extra dollar you put on your mortgage payment goes against THE PRINCIPLE debt and reduces your interest going forward and in fact reduces the amount that you will pay in total for repayment of your loan. It is actually worth scrimping a bit for future gains.
If this is too low time preference for you, then go on being in debt and hope that you can meet each month's payment obligation for what may be the rest of your working life.
The fact that you think it is stupid tells me far more about you and your values than it does about the wisdom of my approach which led me to scrip, save and pay off a 30 year loan in 12 years. Do better than that and I will care what you think.
This advice was not for you, by the way, but thank you for trying to be part of the conversation.

anything works, a buck here and there, strip your pockets of change every night, half the winnings from a scratch off, beans and rice once a week, anything helps, even if it is 20 bucks a month.
If it helps, I hate debt. I hated taking a mortgage, but it was the only way I could get a house. No one can buy a house on what they have on hand. The nicest thing about paying off the house is all that money that went to the mortgage company goes to me, instead. And I can make it work for me.
Posted by: Kindltot at June 26, 2025 01:35 PM (D7oie)
Oh yeah. And listen about two to four weeks, and then maybe 15 minutes a month.
His basic message is good. Get out of debt. I like how he explains the "snowball" ... it makes sense for most people. Pay the smallest thing off first ... just to get a sense you can really do this.
His thing about credit cards ? He's out of his mind - but again, he's explaining it to credit addicts.
