We're all calling the old custom 747 -- the one with all the gov-spec classified countermeasures, the one that's cost us $2 billion, the one that's full of real human civilians -- we're calling that the "decoy plane" now.

    Hey good point actually, at least the sacrificial plane was a real "Air Force One" in its capabilities and defenses. Unlike the gold tchotchke plane. And I like thinking how uncomfortable the military plane probably was. The fact no attack happened suggests someone knew he wasn't on the sacrificial plane. Hegseth probably texted a friend about it. Loser Bone Spurs showing his true cowardice.

    If you are the Iranian military, would you want your enemy to be led by Mr Trump or someone else?

    Haha, you thinking maybe there was no threat and someone just made a bet they could get him to cower in a lunch carrier?

    I saw a take that was just “he has no attention span, the only way to get him to care is to make it feel engaging and exciting”

    And thus the idea of the attack was crafted to get him re-invested in the war. To make him see it as important and not just an annoying thing he wants to go away. And… given that kegseth went with him… yah… feels like a stunt.

    I'm hearing two theories:-

    1. Israel said Iran is trying to kill him so he'd attack them even more.

    2. The Turkiye - Saudi Arabia - Pakistan bloc leaked this rumour to Egypt, either to humiliate Trump, or check if the Egyptian government is compromised / leaking secrets to the US.

    I guess we'll never know.

    "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

    You wonder if they even knew they were on the plane along with the expendables.

    Trump the only president that has ever scurried away in fear in a food truck while probably boasting about how great he is to the DoW chief that has only lost wars, because they are losing a war to a country that they considered inferior.

    Cowards

    He's got a lot of records. Sleeping on camera, most corrupt, shitting his pants, lowest intelligence, orangest, and he's working on presiding over the most American deaths, and several more.

    That must have been a fun conversation when they found out they were on the sacrificial lamb plane

    Heh, Hegseth is Trump's version of "the cool guy". Just when you thought the child rapist couldn't go any lower. Which one was I talking about? both

    So somebody told kegsbreath as a prank to see how far he'd take it? I mean, that's now my head canon regardless of what actually happened.

    are we including targets or reality, because i recall some heads of state that were actually shot at and hit. and in one case, flipped off the bullet and his own blood and kept going. this one, every time there's an "assassination" attempt it reeks of a bad setup.

    and if we include targets, maybe y'all forget the hubbub about practice shooting targets that look like obama being sold in texas or mississippi or some other overly humid state.

    I don't understand the security logic....

    1. We think this plane will be attacked
    2. fill it with people, plus senior officials, and send it on its merry way.

    Damn it, they need to stop splitting up. We need to get them, the Republicans in Congress, AIPAC Democrats, and at least half of the Supreme Court together. Hopefully some billionaires and tech industry leaders too.

    Maybe a cruise? We could advertise some new giant boat as being unsinkable... oh, shit, the icebergs all melted.
