To all those that were saying bunker busters were not confirmed as being used well there you go. Confirmed. 14 of them. Also being said by Hegsath the US acted in self defence to protect the US, US personnel and interests and Israel which is exactly what I have previously posted and got the old thumbs down from a couple of morons. They were surgical strikes and do not constitute going to war. I'll accept apologies from anyone who has the balls to say they were WRONG.

I'm not wrong at the time news broke Mops were not mentioned just airstrikes with fighter aircraft a few hours later after a briefing it was confirmed the Yanks had dropped them.

This is the nuts and bolts of what the US is trying to disrupt.

These centrifuges are a very hi tech item, extremely high tensile strength steel balanced better than a Swiss watch to be able to spin at 90,000 rpm

They don't have to lay in ruins to be disabled, the shockwave through the rock could be enough to unbalance things.

 

If Israel could do it as confirmed by the the International Atomic Energy Agency then I'm pretty sure the US with its massive increased bombing capacities could also.

 

Centrifuges at Iran's underground uranium enrichment plant at Natanz were likely to have been "severely damaged if not destroyed altogether" following Israeli strikes on Friday, the head of the global nuclear watchdog has told the BBC.

Rafael Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency said this was a result of power cuts caused by the attack, in which an above-ground plant was "completely destroyed" and the electrical installation sustained "almost total damage".

Satellite Images Undermine Trump’s Claim Iran’s Atomic Sites Destroyed

Trump said heavily fortified sites were “totally obliterated” late Saturday, but independent analysis has yet to verify that claim.

Satellite images taken on Sunday of Fordow and distributed by Maxar Technologies show new craters, possible collapsed tunnel entrances and holes on top of a mountain ridge. They also show that a large support building on the Fordow site, which operators may use to control ventilation for the underground enrichment halls, remained undamaged.

 

There were no radiation releases from the site, the IAEA reported. US Air Force General Dan Caine told a news conference on Sunday that an assessment of “final battle damage will take some time.”

Don't worry, "if" the final damage assessment is clear that the centrifuges where not knocked out then I am sure the US can just go back and finish them off.

 

Because there was no radiation release does not mean the centrifuges could not have been destroyed. Iran had already stated it had moved the radioactive material away

A large number of German immigrants most certainly were. The German American Bund was holding rallies in many US cities. The largest was the infamous Madison Square Gardens rally, which had 20,000 in attendance. Huge for the era. The Bund was openly pro-Nazi and engaged in political activities that were anti American. One of the more notorious events was the attack on the German language New Yorker Staats-Zeitung .Their demands included more pro-Nazi articles and  more articles denouncing western European democracies. The Bund attempted to take control of multiple German American organizations. Its downfall came when  when Socialists and patriotic ethnic Germans participated in a campaign against the Bund. 

The Bund was  eventually undone because of its internal corruption. Revisionist historians would have us believe that the American German community was wholly opposed to the Nazis, when that was not the case. The people who were opposed are those who had fled German persecution and wanted nothing to do with the Germany of old; the Mennonites and other Christians, Jews, and socialists. Most 3rd and older generation Americans who had German heritage, did not consider themselves German, but American and were not interested in the Bund and its hate. The ethnic German socialists were some of the USA's most patriotic and they rallied against the Bund. However, there were still tens of thousands of nazi supporters  who had to be dealt with in WWII.

I know you didn’t know that.

 

Regardless,  they didn’t succeed in America.

 

America number 1!  Show some respect towards your liberators.
