You were fine with the NYPost up to that point?

No man, obviously. What's the point of that comment? Just pointing out to the rest, who maybe didn't click the link, that they are just quoting the propaganda machine.

"In a dramatic final twist, two US transport planes sent to extract the team became stranded at a remote base inside Iran."
They're gonna paint this as a W because they were able to recover the pilots, but that's 5(?) aircraft on mission that Iran has taken down over the past couple days.
But this is telling. The airframes they were able to fly over Iraq and Afghanistan largely with impunity are getting shot down over Iran. But this admin is too stupid to see a tar baby situation when they're already got one fist caught.

If only there was some way this could have been avoided.
