Videos and satellite images show Iran's drone army puncturing U.S. and allied defenses
Jane Lytvynenko
Sat, March 14, 2026 at 6:00 AM EDT

The buzz came before the explosion. An aerial vehicle dove from the cloudless sky toward its target at Camp Buehring, a U.S. military base in Kuwait. It struck near a running track with a fiery plume of black smoke.

“Oh s---t,” a man recording from the base said. “Oh my God. Oh, that was right here. They’re f---ing getting… They’re starting to dial into our building.”

The video ends as the smoke billows in the desert outpost.

The footage of this attack, posted online on March 1 but possibly filmed earlier, is one of over 30 open-source videos and satellite images verified by NBC News showing Iranian drone strikes and interceptions by the U.S. and its allies across seven countries. Apparent targets include military bases, transportation hubs, energy infrastructure and diplomatic centers. In 21 of 26 videos, drones appear to reach their targets.



21 out of 26 successful attacks

moron will likely be nuking soon

been good knowing all of you.



Phil - So, you think this military campaign against Iran to protect Americans and Israelis will be a pyrrhic victory? 


Like it or not

Russia
China
USA

Can kill 70-95% of humanity.

Pakistan
India
France
Great Britan all have some nukes

Oh Israel has some.


USA left every war since Korea.

Korea was a push since South Korea still around.

So the only things this war will do is sell missiles and drones.

It will also jack up oil prices.

So I don't not see the benefit to us in the usa.

Unless you make missles, drones or drill oil in a safe place.

I saw that 2500 Marines are getting deployed but I no longer can find the link.

The marine deployment means there are far more drones then were
thought.



But of those countries you listed, only Iran is saying 'DEATH TO AMERICA'...  Roll Eyes

The country of Iran isn't saying that. Its certain people inside the country that say that. I imagine every country has at least a few people who say that.

Lumping an entire nation into one retarded category so you can consider them "less than" and bombable is itself retarded.

Yes, the Pentagon ordered the deployment of approximately 2,500 Marines to the Middle East to secure the Strait of Hormuz amid an escalating campaign with Iran. This rapid response force, primarily consisting of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), is being redirected from the Indo-Pacific to reinforce the more than 50,000 American troops already in the region.

Well, Iran's leaders and military have sure taken it to heart and killed over 1,000 Americans. And when the Supreme Leader constantly says 'Death to America' we better take it seriously...

I shouldn't have said anything in the first place... that was my fault.

That's the thing about politics: everyone thinks they have their own opinion that they formed with their own brain, but they don't, they are just parroting back the narrative they feel most comfortable with.

99% of online political discussion is just the reguritation of talking points... nobody learns a single thing.

Its really a pointless endeavor.


Anyway go Bitcoin.

Anyone going to BTC Vegas in April? I'm trying to go. PM me and lets meet up.

The interesting part of the GFC of 2007-2008 was that the price of oil went to $147 in July 2008, after which it entered a secular decline to close to a zero (it even went negative in the futures in 2020 during COVID, which was, of course, temporary).

I always thought that WS by jacking the oil price 2X between 2007 and 2008 was doing so to "fight" the housing deflation, but eventually they failed and oil declined sharply into the GFC peak in Q4 2008-Q1 2009.
18 years later and even in a regional war-like situation, we are still almost 40% below 2008 prices (yet).
I don't make any predictions here, but AI "impulse" was going to be generally deflationary, imho.
What now?

EDIT: Gold already peaked, maybe bitcoin would be the "horse" to fight the AI caused deflation?
One may dream, perhaps, but it would be a bit annoying if oil alone would be such "agent".

[edit out]
yep and since I get show in many searches it behoves us all to agree it is a baby bull

not like the morons screaming bear bear bear bear.

You must be egging for a fight.

In other words, we do not need to agree on shit...

And, whether we agree or not, bitcoin no gives no shits.

We do not type into a vacuum JJG philipma1957 biodom ognasty have long google hits relating to btc and bitcointalk

so bull bull bull is better than bear bear bear.

You are not going to get me to pump shit.. and by the way, OgNasty is surely currently in the bear, bear, bear camp.

Apparently ONLY you and Biodom (perhaps some other stragglers?) agree that there iss even such a thing as "baby bull."

You deserve a BIG ASS batslappening for even agreeing with Biodom on such level of dumb.

and if it really shows bear bear bear simply do not use that term.

At this particular moment, as I type this post, I think that we are slightly more inclined towards bear rather than bull, just because it seems that around late January-ish we got knocked out of the bull and we had not gotten back into a bull.. yet.. and perhap I won't agree that we are back in bull until we have something like a week closing above $100k.. and maybe if such a thing were to occur (an "if" is an "if"), then perhaps i might even be ready, willing and able to either say.. wow.. "I was wrong that we had ever been in a bear"  or "that 'bear' was so quick that I barely even noticed it." or some other words to that effect... maybe even labelling it as a "baby bear" for funzies.

In any event you are not going to get me to fall into line with any stupid ass talking point as if we were a marketing department for dee cornz.. and, I know both Biodom and OgNasty well enough that they are both different, yet they have in common that they are not going to be falling into other people's talking points.

You're even the same way, you largely stubborn fuck..     Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue  #nohomo

why generate fodder for the al gore rhythm  of bear?
unless of course you bet bear like og did

and he would not want a drift up to 80k then sideways till the fall with more up as the Middle East war lingers.

None of us have any choice about what dee cornz do or do not do.  

Even if after the fact some of us might be inclined to say "I told you so."

My circle of fellow geeks here and nobody said,  "Happy Pi Day!"
Sheesh!

You are not no nobody.. and I am sure that some guys in these here parts were likely merely waiting so that you could get credit.

 Tongue Tongue

Phil - You must be very proud of what Hussein Obama did with American taxpayer money to help Iran fund their terrorism as shown in the video link below!    
For someone that served in the U.S. Navy and retired from a U.S. government job with the IRS; you should be ashamed of yourself! Angry
https://youtu.be/tLJfLLSpndA?t=3  

How about there are ways for Trump to miscalculate an attack on Iran, and then have regret yet at the same time not failing to blame someone else for his miscalculations.

What a dumb fuck...

Trump is probably saying:  

"I did not know that they were so capable.. someone must have had helped them 10 years earlier.. blah blah blah."..

or perhaps Trump saying:

"I thought that I would magically pronounce the conflict to have had ended and that everything would go back to 'normal' (like it was prior to my dumbass decision action to bomb, bomb bomb Iran), but for some reason the conflict did not magically end when i pronounced that it was 'officially' ended."

and perhaps at some point Trump saying:

"at some point, thing will go back to how the were previously, everyone will like me, I will get the Nobel Prize in Peace yet in the meantime, if it is not happening as expected, then 'it's not my fault.' "

Wow!!!  

Even if you were to be correct about consolidation in such a range of $70k to $90k-ish, how could that even be close to a "baby bull"?  even if such a thing were to actually exist in reality? rather than your seemingly shared fantasy with Biodom?.. hahahahahaha.. #nohomo

Point of clarification:  I suspect that you are saying that you get a "baby bull" out of the deal by having consolidation 6 months (without any major down) and then breaking to the upside, afterwards.

Well looks like Trump wants help.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-threatens-strike-irans-kharg-033005654.html


So every country in the middle east is sweating the load.

Thus they fear destruction of hard assets from Iran's missiles and drones.


So wealthy middle easterners will be offloading gold to buy btc.

Why is that?

Watch the bluff on Amazon and see what they did to a treasure chest of gold.


So to  JJG pressure to safeguard hard assess by switch to virtual assets means just like you said btc is 1000x better than gold.

If looks like Trump has hammered ognasty and that his large sale resulting in large tax bill may be a flop.


Actually I am poking the fuck out of both ognasty and jjg

Due to my small stack of btc.

I had not thought about that video for a while.  .. and yeah.. there can be some importance in the matter.  Saylor has right around 20x more bitcoin as compared with the time of that video.

I will admit that there is some value in having fun, trying to be creative, and perhaps also making money from such content.. to the extent that some money might have had been generated by that content.

Did it age well?  slightly more than 5-ish years later.

Why is that?
Watch the bluff on Amazon and see what they did to a treasure chest of gold.

I am not confident to know the extent to which bitcoin will go up, down or sideways from all of this.

I do know that markets like certainty...  .. yet it still does not say what bitcoin is going to do relative to other assets, whether hard assets, or commodities or otherwise.

Surely many of us who are mostly in bitcoin have confidence in bitcoin, yet there still can be uncertainties about whether anything in our positions might need to change based on current happenings or short-term projected happenings.

So to  JJG pressure to safeguard hard assess by switch to virtual assets means just like you said btc is 1000x better than gold.

Yes.. bitcoin is around 1,000x better than gold or more, yet that still does not make it clear about what might happen in the short term, even though yeah, to get final resolution, there are currently difficulties moving gold in certain parts of the world, like you suggest... yet bitcoin is likely going to continue to be much easier to move around in times like these.

If looks like Trump has hammered ognasty and that his large sale resulting in large tax bill may be a flop.
Actually I am poking the fuck out of both ognasty and jjg
Due to my small stack of btc.

Sure.  The problem with a "small stack" is that it can take a long time to build it up... and starting now.. might be a bit of a challenge for some folks, too... but yeah, if we get a lot of value building up in one asset then sometimes there can be value to diversify out of some of it too.. so yeah, it is not always clear what to do, to the extent that we are giving away any specifics..

For myself, if I were to need to (or want to) shave off 0.5% to 15% of my bitcoin right now, I should not have any major problems doing that, yet it can be difficult to know sometimes if certain ways of moving bitcoin around could result in "issues" since I don't consider banks and/or governments to be greatly friendly toward individuals owning bitcoin... so there can sometimes be traps in regard to places to cash out and/or even things to buy with bitcoin, since sometimes the BIGGER ticket item might not be easy to transact in bitcoin, either. even though there might be avenues on some of those, too.
