I do t really believe this, but there’s been a lot of funny business with the US these last few weeks which looks like they’re trying to hide their bruises.

The f35 “emergency landing” and irrecoverable due to shrapnel damage sounds a lot like it was shot down.

Their aircraft carrier gets targeted and then has a “laundry fire”.

The banning of commercial satellites in the area.

It’s all pretty sketchy. If every American base was destroyed though, that would have leaked.

Laundry fire makes sense though. It's already been over extended multiple times, has other established issues, moral shit from literal shit and it get crippled by laundry room fire is much more embarrassing than getting hit by Iran. Plus wasn't the Lincoln the one targeted?

Laundry fires are also surprisingly common. When fabrics are dried in industrial tumblers they build up heat and static. This can be concentrated in a stack of dried laundry such that it can spontaneously combust.

This shouldn't happen as a matter of course; all the laundry should normally be moved on fairly quickly in a functioning facility, but it sounds like the US navy isn't functioning in the most healthy manner these days...
