...and surprise, it contradicts the "strike didn't do much" narrative the media tried to construct in the immediate aftermath.

Whoops. Another L for the usuals.

New Assessment Finds Site at Focus of U.S. Strikes in Iran Badly Damaged
A clearer picture begins to emerge of what the Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites achieved.

Iran’s deeply buried nuclear enrichment plant at Fordo was badly damaged, and potentially destroyed, by the 12 massive bombs that U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers dropped on it last month, according to a new American intelligence assessment.
Two other nuclear sites targeted in the U.S. attacks were not as badly damaged, but facilities at the sites that would be key to fabricating a nuclear weapon were destroyed and could take years to rebuild, U.S. officials said.


Indeed.

The main target of the American bombing was Fordo, which was hit by a dozen GBU-57 bunker-busting bombs. The assessment concludes those explosions wiped out the thousands of delicate nuclear centrifuges buried under the mountain, a finding consistent with statements by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

And we had said here that due to the extremely delicate nature of the centrifuges it was highly unlikely they made it through the raid unscathed. The more likely scenario was that most would be damaged beyond repair.

Umm, from your link:

Some experts have criticized the U.S. focus on just the three sites, arguing that Iran has others that it could use to restart the program.

“We’re too caught up in the stories about the big three sites — Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan — when really Iran’s capabilities are much more sprawling and sophisticated, and include many sites that the U.S. and Israel did not bomb,” said Rosemary A. Kelanic, an expert with Defense Priorities, a think tank advocating a restrained foreign policy. “Focusing too much on the big three sites misses the larger point that even if those three sites and their contents — centrifuges, stockpiles — were destroyed, Iran could likely still rebuild quickly.”


Besides that, Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Does that excuse him from being an adjudicated rapist?

A convicted felon?

A likely pedofile?

An all around grifter?

A racist?

It took him long enough to understand he was being took by Putin. And they understood that and stepped up to the plate. Now they are paying for what we ship to Ukraine, Trump takes credit, and they have to unceasingly flatter him. The big question is, will Donnie step up to the plate when it's necessary? Can you answer that one BHM?

LOL! Is that what Trump is telling you to think? You know he lied to you over 30,000 times?

Here's the reality:
"The actual increase in NATO defense spending began before Trump’s presidency, following a 2014 pledge by members to move toward the 2% target by 2024,
a commitment made in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, not because of Trump."

"Trump has falsely claimed credit for a sudden breakthrough in NATO funding, but there is no evidence that his demands directly resulted in new, binding commitments beyond what was already agreed in 2014. European leaders, such as Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron, explicitly stated that the increase in defense spending was part of a longer-term trend, not a new Trump-driven policy."

Misinformation.

Fundamental misunderstanding of the situation.
