$ 2,000,000 to shoot down a $40,000 drone, brilliant . Too bad couldn't help Americans at home with the incredible waste of $$$.The trump War is like all his stuff a ball of confusion,waste and incompetency.Bragging about destroying an enemy that doesnt scale in size.Yippee the 245 pound heavy weight beats the Welterweight.Remember take the oil, and Bibi has your next orders waiting. WTF TRUMP SAYS "OH WELL" lifes a bitch and then you die"! Cavalier much. MAGAS voted trump to make America more affordable, and stay out of ME wars and solve the ones he cant as of now. SURPRISE ...duped again. Famous last quote by the Orange fella "the president will go to war with Iran because he can't solve anything and can't negotiate" (trump 2011)

The Tropic Thunder scene is Tom Cruise dressed as the actor's agent (looking fat and balding) doing a dance. Its at the 21 or 22 second mark in that clip. Its a super-short portion (1 second max).

rehajm বলেছেন...

…yah but there’s also the laser that shoots down lots of drones and missiles and slow aircraft and stuff at literally a few dollars a pop, so evens out…

Ficta বলেছেন...

Akshually, Les Grossman is the producer of the movie being made in Tropic Thunder. Alledgedly based on Harvey Weinstein. Ben Stiller's character's agent was played by Matthew McConaughey. Did that movie have a killer cast or what?

And movies are not war, which means the opinions of movie people on matters of war are rather ill informed. They’re entitled to their opinions, and we’re entitled to disregard anything non-movie related they say.

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...

When in the mind of a Hollywood actor/director, the gain in pretending the misuse of a movie clip of his, outweighs the loss in reputation, pretending no to know how a long running meme works. Oscars (sweet dreams) are made of this.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that using a one or two second clip from a movie falls under fair use.

The U.S. Navy’s attack on an Iranian frigate, the IRIS Dena, on Wednesday was the first time an American submarine has sunk an enemy ship since World War II. But the Dena may not have been armed because it was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. Navy likely knew it because it was participating in the same exercise.

Both the United States and Iran were taking part in the MILAN 2026 exercise, organized by the Indian Navy, on February 15–26, with the U.S. sending a maritime patrol aircraft and Iran sending the Dena. Iranian sailors from the ship paraded on land before India’s president.

The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed. Former Indian Foreign Minister Kanwal Sibal accused the attack of being “premeditated, as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise.”

“The US has ignored India’s sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India’s invitation,” Sibal said in a post on X. The Iranian ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, condemned the attack and said the ship was unarmed.

“We will respond to this assassination very strongly. This ship was unarmed and in a regular maneuver at sea. I think that the United States and the Zionist regime want to disturb and destroy all the international law and international norms,” Fathali said.

At least 87 sailors were killed in the torpedo attack in international waters in the Indian Ocean, and the Sri Lankan navy responded to the Dena’s distress call and rescued 32 survivors, but 61 members of the crew are still missing. The U.S. didn’t respond to the call, and Pete Hegseth crowed about the attack to reporters on Wednesday.

“An American submarine sank an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,” Hegseth said, calling it a “quiet death.” As a result of the attack, an Iranian supply tanker that was also near Sri Lanka, the IRIS Bushehr, has taken refuge in the island country.

The sinking of the Dena seems to be part of Hegseth’s new policy of ignoring “stupid rules of engagement” and “punching them while they’re down,” and it raises questions of what the Trump administration would say if a country like Iran attacked an American ship it knew was unarmed.

Yeah we sunk an unarmed Iranian boat with 100 sailors that was doing some of sort of international exercise off Sri Lanka.

Yee haw, we're number 1. 'murcia! Shades of the USS Wahoo and Mush Morton.

The Israelis and the Trump Adminstration have proven they can sink unarmed ships and kill schoolgirls. And assassinate 80 y/o men they're tricked into believing they're for peace. When do we start fighting men?

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ বলেছেন...

Aside from the outright childish and unserious tone, what really jumps out is its creatively bankrupt. They can't create anything original that people would actually want to watch on their own—so they just swipe a bunch of popular clips and repurpose them for propaganda.

It's like a government account running a low-effort fan edit on X, except the "fan edit" is official propaganda splicing real missile footage with Iron Man quips, John Wick revenge vibes, and Mortal Kombat victory screens. That kind of thing doesn't just look unserious; it reveals a deeper laziness (or desperation) in trying to manufacture enthusiasm without building anything authentic.

Keith বলেছেন...

And Gadfly - you do understand that the USN sank an enemy warship. In war time. ENEMY. WAR SHIP. It doesn't matter if it had ammunition loaded and ready to go or just had ammunition that was not ready to go. It was an ENEMY. WAR. SHIP.

I think it's not that you are dumb. I think it's that you are rooting for the enemy and doing what you can do demoralize America.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of our commentators are so upset that Islamic terrorists are being sent to Allah in great numbers. Why do you cry so much for them, Jaq and Dinky and everyone else? You NEVER shed tears at all for the victims of Islamic terrorists. It's always and forever only "How dare anyone fight back, especially those dirty Jews!"

Lest you forget, Iran labeled the United States as "The Great Satan" and vowed to kill us all. Why, then, does anyone here who claims to be a US citizen care if we are defending ourselves and the rest of the world from these insane monsters?

Do you really hate Jews so much that you are that upset we are removing Iran as the chief source of Jewish hate, along with one of the chief sources of "Death to America?"

And that especially refers to you, RCOcean. Why are you so upset that Trump is finally fighting a war Iran declared against us over 40 years ago? Why do you have your panties in a twist that Iranians are getting sent to Allah? Which is what they have always said they wanted anyway.

He's a pathetic loser.

Keith বলেছেন...

Vance - RCO is like Bill Kristol. For years he talked about Western values. Then one day DJT is elected and all of a sudden, he completely turns his back on everything he supposedly believes in because he hates DJT THAT much.

Same with RCO. He's eager to dump everything he said he believed in because Israel and the Jews believe in Western Civ - freedom of speech, private property, rule of law, etc. He is happy to see - and advocates for - the failure of America and wishcasts and hopes to see Iran and the headchoppers win just because they might also hurt the Jews.

He's sick.

So there we kill teh $40k drone for maybe a couple hundred dollars.

You are a complete and total dumb fuck, ignoramus, and loser.

Yes, I know I'm piggybacking on GTCT.

Please explain how you got from "may not have been armed" to "was unarmed".

You can't.

Making your conclusion rubbish, and indicative of either credulousness, or willing misdirection. Which is it? Did the Indian navy do a thorough inspection of each ship to verify there were no munitions on board?

Here is something else to keep in mind. From the point where the ship was torpedoed to underlying the direct route from Diego Garcia to Iran is about 20 hours at 20 knots. The Dena could have lurked among traffic, hoping to bag an unsuspecting B-52 at cruise altitude well outside the combat zone.

Well, the US Navy made sure that didn't happen.

I am sorry for your loss.

Oh, and in as perfect example of les encouragements des autres, very shortly after the Dena got splodeyed, two Iranian Navy ships surrendered to Sri Lanka.

The analogy isn't quite apt. VDH is referring to solely to tanks.

But ballistic missiles, particularly where landing anywhere within shouting distance of a resolutely stationary zip code is considered a direct hit, aren't really comparable to ABMs, where close doesn't count.

If the former can be made for, say, a hundredth of the latter, then even if only in terms of production rate, at some point the Iranians will have far more missiles than we will have defense.

@DataRepublican
Hello Mr. Stiller.

You: "War is not a movie."

Also you: wrote, directed, and pocketed $188M from Tropic Thunder, a film whose entire premise is actors who mistake a war for a movie. You literally already made this point, for profit.

Let's check your oh-so-virtuous leftist credentials.

Your film put Robert Downey Jr. in blackface. You directed that. Your script used the word "r*tard" 17 times. You wrote that. Twenty-two disability organizations (Special Olympics, The Arc, National Down Syndrome Congress, the AAPD) launched a national boycott. That actually happened.

You took the $188M and kept every frame.

2018: "I stand by my apology."
2023: "I make no apologies for Tropic Thunder. Proud of it."

Pick one.

Your father: Jerry Stiller. Your mother: Anne Meara, an Emmy-nominated actress. Your first job: Saturday Night Live. July 2021, asked about Hollywood nepotism: "Show biz is ultimately a meritocracy. Untalented people don't really last if they get a break because of who they are or who they're related to."

The ultimate nepo baby telling people the game is fair... equity is for everyone who isn't you, apparently.

At the Comics for Kamala fundraiser you raised $150,000 for Harris. At that same event you said: "Every white Jewish guy wishes he was Black."

You are a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. In June 2022 you flew to Kyiv for a photo with Zelensky.

Summing it up... A $200M Hamptons liberal who played everyman for profit. Blackface on screen, a disability slur 17 times in the script, an apology issued and then retracted, a humanitarian title treated as a press credential, and now... outrage that someone used your war movie about war.

"War is not a movie."

No. But your career has been.

Actors (Hollywood people) who want to inject their oh-so-strong opinion on what is happening in the real world, should not be making movies about the thing they object to. You cannot be taken seriously, you are just an actor who gets told what to do…

"They were too cowardly to go into the tunnels and kill Hamas mano v. mano...".
Stupidity rarely, if ever, equaled in the entire history of the internet.

"The Israelis and the Trump Adminstration have proven they can sink unarmed ships and kill schoolgirls. And assassinate 80 y/o men they're tricked into believing they're for peace. When do we start fighting men?"

Do you feel our warfighting methods aren't 'fair'? How about we issue a rifle and airdrop you into Iran, just to be 'fair'?

The White House video is cringe. Stiller's moral vanity is double cringe.

Its a composite zoolander really was autobiographical

Not that as a fellow deranged Viet Nam vet —as is apparently the case with Mister Dinky Dau, which was the grunt slang name then and there for cannabis/marijuana/dope, and derives from pidgin Vietnamese for "crazy head"— I'd ever be inclined to agree in the slightest with his hateful and ignorant postings, but I did want to illuminate the rest of us here on his moniker's origin. Also, the "45" probably refers to his year of birth, 1945, which further confirms his likely VN vet status.

Something I ran across on Twitter:
An Iranian sailor who was killed when the warship Dena was struck by the US near Sri Lanka had called his father shortly beforehand, saying American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the vessel, a source close to the family told Iran International.

They should have shot the captain and raised the white flag.

As Hey Kipper pointed out above, two other ships captains didn't have to be killed to see sense, after the first one died

As I understand it, the government can use any copyrighted material for its own purposes, regardless of the author's intent. Kind of a quid pro quo for providing the system itself.
