Lmao, I actually wouldn’t be surprised if that played a part in the decision. The birds will either be flying exercise missions or actual missions for their hours, and the bombs were going to be dropped by *something.* It’s actually an economical decision to send them on a real mission where they’ll get about 25-30 hours flight time if taking off from Guam.

You send the Buff when you want the entire region to cease existing. You send the Spirit and the Raider when you want to make a *statement.* Specifically one that says 'If you keep on keepin' on, you won't even know your apocalypse is coming until we've already glassed your coastline.'

$2bln is just a number for accountants to put as capital assets on the ledger. A trillion dollar plus of military infrastructure ground/sea/air/space makes these missions happen.
Also, even though it may be overkill, it's not like they crashed the bomber into the target suicide style. Not counting pay for soldiers, including for maintenance, the real cost of this strike was probably something in the 10s of thousands for the munitions, fuel, and other ancillary costs.

As a kiwi living in Australia it saddens me to see how far backwards nz has fallen thanks to successive govts inability to see what most other western countries recognise re china. While losing the strike aircraft sucked at the time, in reality it was the right move, how ever the other aspects of the rnzdf was supposed to have been resourced appropriately to ensure nz could still fulfill its defence agreements with its key partners. If we can’t help our friends why would they help us?
Exactly how it's happened, sadly the American culture wouldn't except our rights of nuclear weapons free, if they actually cared about us they could've actually carried on their help with cheap equipment, sadly we have to pay for on the top rated price list, when I was in the army we had everything we needed, American people are very strange,
We can thank the "socialize the cost and privatize the profit" folk for our economic stagnation. Neo-liberalism bent us over a barrel that we haven't been able to recover from. Labour betrayed the working class in NZ and wasted budget surpluses. Now the coalition govt is here to pick the carcass clean. Dark times indeed!

The current iteration of the GBU-57 bunker buster bomb is reported to have the capacity to penetrate 200+ feet of earth before penetrating an additional 25 feet of armored concrete. If two B-2’s are deployed, the second plane can drop its ordinance into the colossal crater created by the first bomb thus penetrating an additional 200+ feet underground. This means that GBU-57’s already have greater penetrative power than a nuclear blast, without the radiological complications. Not satisfied with the devastatingly destructive capabilities of these “conventional” munitions, the USAF is continually working to enhance them with each new iteration that emerges every couple of years. If the Iranian regime believes its subterranean facilities provide it any real prophylaxis from aerial bombardment then they are sadly mistaken. In the current era of strategic bombing there is literally no place to safely hide.
The best defense is to not be spotted in the first place, really. That's always been true, but these days, it's doubly so. The bunkers that are the standard today make the old WW1 forts look like sandcastles, honestly. They're deeper, larger, and more reinforced than ever, but simultaneously it seems like they're more vulnerable too.
@@MUJUNKYexactly. Nasrallah could build as complex of a bunker possible and I’m sure he did, but Israel found it and we all saw the results. They literally turned the entire block into a sinkhole
a mop has the equivalent of 10 tons of tnt. The smallest nuke the americans have is a couple of kilotons. Also, nukes are air burst weapons. Therefore, the way the explosion works is different.

$2 billion if you include development cost* The plane, does not in fact, cost two billion dollars. It's less than 750 million, the reason being we haven't set up an assembly line for them because we're stupid.
The script makes it sound like the terrorists did stick to attacking Israeli-related vessels. That connection got weaker and weaker every attack to the point where they're just chaotically attacking anything.

Cmon, we haven't *officially* been at war for over a decade. When the chance arises to use the coolest stuff you take it. Totally unnecessary and didn't tell iran anything they didn't already know, but still.
Speaking as a New Zealander, our leadership has been asleep at the wheel for decades - doubling down on farming and forestry as the main drivers of our economy instead of pivoting to IT and similar like Singapore has shown. The cozying up to China has been a result of real politik as that was giving us our biggest bag but it predictably led to them infiltrating all levels of politics from the regions to the national stage on all sides of the political isle barring some of the smaller parties. This about face of the current leadership - which comprise of a coalition govt formed by a muppet, a corpse and a human thumb - is just a continuation of spineless and talent-less career politicians desperately flailing around to appease their selfish voter base and corporate sponsors. Gone are the days of real leadership as the voting population of this country becomes more disillusioned, apathetic and easily herded into policies that do them more harm than good. Do not believe the hype, NZ is a deeply conservative country that props up our tourist industry via lies while it sells its citizens futures to the lowest bidder. All the while resting on the laurels of political greats of yesteryear that had, not only vision but the spine to see it through, for ALL New Zealanders.
Tbf, the world can always use more food. If Russia gave up on pretending to be advanced, they could actually make progress terraforming their eastern reaches. Honestly if they actually focused on making agricultural advancements, the sheer landmass available to them would make them unbeatable in a food market conflict. They could feed like half of the world if they can beat the icy conditions.
If it were conservative, the country would still be what it used to be. That's literally the definition of the word. Progressive policies is what ended with you rejecting the west based on nuclear virtue signaling, shackled to china in terms of trade and policy and selling out your futures. Because change is good right? It's racist and xenophobic to be leery of China right?
If it were a conservative nation, it would still be the nation it used to be. It would have kept the old status-quo. It's kind of the definition of the concept. it wouldn't have rejected the west based on nuclear virtue signaling. It wouldn't have cozied up to china for trade. It wouldn't be selling out your future to china. Those are all progressive policies. Change is good right?
If it were a conservative nation, it wouldn't have done any of what you're griping about. Keeping the old status quo you are so nostalgic for is quite literally the definition of the concept. You wanted to virtue signal, you wanted change. You got it. Deal with it.
Here in the US I have 2 neighbors who have more that 7 boats between them. They're pleasure boats obviously but given new zealands well... lack of a proper military I'd wager they're probably more heavily armed (2nd amendment and all that)
Between Florida and Texas, you could probably find enough rednecks, old planes and tanks/ifv’s/APC’s to give new Zealands entire military a run for its money
From the US perspective, Syria is a frozen conflict or stalemate, so it's not considered a live combat zone any more than the various fights with cartels around the US-Mexico border. The US is also slowly moving towards ending involvement in the region.

@@nosip YOU SEE!! This is the power of Allah
Impressive technology you got their sir can't stop from closing the red sea
@@aymenyahyaoui1771 it's part of the plan little one
Once Alex Hollings posted a vid about the B-2 going after the Houthis, I was waiting for this to make it on a Simon channel lol.
The script makes it sound like the terrorists did stick to attacking Israeli-related vessels. That connection got weaker and weaker every attack to the point where they're just chaotically attacking anything.
these ppl arent terrorists, its those rootless invaders called Zio's that are a vile terrorist colony
That's what I thought. It was basically a "Shoot on sight" for the Houthis.
Oh, that lie dissipated almost immediately.
Read somewhere that the info for which boat to atack was given to them by russia but that might just be misinfo.
The connection didnt get weaker and weaker. If there is A connection, they attack it, the ammount of connection irrelevant. "israeli" owned? Israeli crewed? Israeli company? Israeli products? Towards israel? 1% israeli stake? Yes. (Oh, and plug in USA and UK anywhere it says israeli, and its also gonna get sunk).
11:05 sound effects are on point😂😂
great vid, thanks
Love your channel. Better yet your voice and delivery is very 1940’s nostalgic radio. Good on you!
You should talk about the B-2 a bit in this video
Woah Ireland punches well above it's weight
Yeah, wow... Took me a week to find 42 minutes to watch this and goodness me, what a mess! Thanks for keeping us informed! 😵💫
Overkill is underrated.
Thanks man
It’s worth repeating… DONT f with the boats!
As American our military is the definition overkill 😂
The editing at 10:25 makes it seem as if the guy shooting his machine gun causes that large explosion a second later 😂
Just remembered the video of new airforce pilots reacting to their assigned airplanes, I hope that new B2 pilot is out there
Amusing and informative. Carry on!!!!!
This dude has like 6 channels. I respect the grind
More than that I believe
Thanks!
They found out firsthand why we don't have free health insurance.
B-2 is the "Find out", which inevitably comes after "Fucking around".
The Medium is the Message
one of the best youtube channels
0:25 if you are going to state local time it helps if you state where it's local too. It's been happening a lot lately and i've finally had enough.
Thank you
That sweater is a vibe
@ 3:38 are we all going to ignore him referring to war as a game of whack a mole.....LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Cmon, we haven't *officially* been at war for over a decade. When the chance arises to use the coolest stuff you take it. Totally unnecessary and didn't tell iran anything they didn't already know, but still.
Lol. Knew it was coming.
"You'd never hear this thing coming though"

I thought Simon already had a channel for this kind of content
If you’re thinking of warographics than it’s the same channel, they changed the name.
Thanks Si 😊
As a kiwi who watches many of your channels im always happy when we get a mention. Also you are not saying the PMs surname correctly FYI
Pronounced Lux-in not Lux-on.
I just call him the human thumb. Its easier to distinguish between him the muppet and the corpse
Speaking as a New Zealander, our leadership has been asleep at the wheel for decades - doubling down on farming and forestry as the main drivers of our economy instead of pivoting to IT and similar like Singapore has shown. The cozying up to China has been a result of real politik as that was giving us our biggest bag but it predictably led to them infiltrating all levels of politics from the regions to the national stage on all sides of the political isle barring some of the smaller parties.
This about face of the current leadership - which comprise of a coalition govt formed by a muppet, a corpse and a human thumb - is just a continuation of spineless and talent-less career politicians desperately flailing around to appease their selfish voter base and corporate sponsors.
Gone are the days of real leadership as the voting population of this country becomes more disillusioned, apathetic and easily herded into policies that do them more harm than good.
Do not believe the hype, NZ is a deeply conservative country that props up our tourist industry via lies while it sells its citizens futures to the lowest bidder.
All the while resting on the laurels of political greats of yesteryear that had, not only vision but the spine to see it through, for ALL New Zealanders.
Tbf, the world can always use more food. If Russia gave up on pretending to be advanced, they could actually make progress terraforming their eastern reaches. Honestly if they actually focused on making agricultural advancements, the sheer landmass available to them would make them unbeatable in a food market conflict. They could feed like half of the world if they can beat the icy conditions.
If it were conservative, the country would still be what it used to be. That's literally the definition of the word. Progressive policies is what ended with you rejecting the west based on nuclear virtue signaling, shackled to china in terms of trade and policy and selling out your futures. Because change is good right? It's racist and xenophobic to be leery of China right?
If it were a conservative nation, it would still be the nation it used to be. It would have kept the old status-quo. It's kind of the definition of the concept. it wouldn't have rejected the west based on nuclear virtue signaling. It wouldn't have cozied up to china for trade. It wouldn't be selling out your future to china. Those are all progressive policies. Change is good right?
If it were a conservative nation, it wouldn't have done any of what you're griping about. Keeping the old status quo you are so nostalgic for is quite literally the definition of the concept. You wanted to virtue signal, you wanted change. You got it. Deal with it.
Houthis before b2: Houthis
Houthis after b2: Whothis
My tax dollars guarding someone else’s prosperity. How wonderful.
Not the way Simon says Luxon 😂😂
Video from the channel age like milk under sun these day😂😂
*RNZN now has 7 vessels 🤣
Put it into perspective, NZ has an economy a third of Australia. And Australia has an economy that's 10 times smaller than the USA
And half of the US multibillioners, so ship numbers can increase rather rapidly
Here in the US I have 2 neighbors who have more that 7 boats between them. They're pleasure boats obviously but given new zealands well... lack of a proper military I'd wager they're probably more heavily armed (2nd amendment and all that)
Between Florida and Texas, you could probably find enough rednecks, old planes and tanks/ifv’s/APC’s to give new Zealands entire military a run for its money
What voice changer are you using for that microphone
I live for the comment section. absolute gold
I live in North Las Vegas. I’ve seen these amazing planes fly overhead twice from Nellis AFB.
Unless we’ve been secretly using it, this is to get it warmed up for more.
Finally called in that B-2 care package.🤣
it's not the bomb, it's the payload. and as it turns out, you CAN put a price on sending a message.
35:27 but Kamala Harris said there were no forces in a live combat zone lol
From the US perspective, Syria is a frozen conflict or stalemate, so it's not considered a live combat zone any more than the various fights with cartels around the US-Mexico border. The US is also slowly moving towards ending involvement in the region.
@@benrockefeller6334we have deployed troops in combat zones, we know what she meant and she’s either lying or completely incompetent to run this country
What do you expect from a dei hire. She's always been incompetent and a liar. Look at the innocent people she kept imprisoned
This is the military equivalent of Arnold Schwarzeneger jiggling his pecs around before battle in Conan.
I’ll be back
Trade embargoes, sanctions & lawfare & dependency patronage/Bribery economic war. All predictable. Opium wars a good example. Great stuff Simon. Thanks. Cheers 🥂
HELL YEAH 😎🇺🇸
It's crazy that there hasn't been a real peer adversary for any of this tech and we are already on to the next generation.
Love your videos...how I get a shirt of "cusimashelaem"??
That was an awesome flex tbf
Massive Ordenance Penetrator, a.k.a., MOP.
Brings a new meaning to the expression "They mopped the floor with the opponent".
Simon', duuude, I gotta ask...how in THE HELL do you crank out the volume of content you do? You gottaale bank.
USA. USA. USA. USA.
That’s about as American as an apple pie with a hotdog in it.
Tanker: "Overkill? What's that?"
.....This feels more like an indication of American weakness and Houthi strength than the reverse.
in short, the b2 is effectively a flying ''you don't want this smoke''
Having Jihad as a first name is wild for a political analyst
I have an ex whose first name that was.
I don't really see it as that weird. People in the west name their kids "Christian," and all other kinds of biblical names, why wouldn't other cultures do similar?
@@Julianna.Domina lots of people called "Holy war" in Christian countries...
@@Julianna.DominaJihad is an Islamic word meaning holy war & genocide such as Muslim Turks using jihad to justify genocide against Armenians in Ottoman turkey. That’s why you hear “jihad” being shouted when Muslims try to exterminate an ethnic or religious group. It’s ridiculous you tried to downplay its meaning by comparing it to the name Christian which doesn’t mean war, genocide, death or anything sinister like Jihad does. Biblical names like John or Mary don’t call for the destruction of anyone.
@@Julianna.Dominano we have two types of the word jihad one is a verb pronounced with an a like saying ahhhh and one is a softer a like a sudden realisation
You see Westerners named Christian yes, but you don't see Westerners called "Crusade" or "Crusader"
It would be considered cringe at best and offensive at worst.
Simon, You should make a Good News channel.
Houthis been quiet for a while now pmsl
They think Saudi was a fight lol.. they are not ready 😆
Because they lay low on the international scale doesn't mean they're idling and disbanding. Iran is still funneling money to the Houthi leadership, and thew US told them: We know what you're doing, we know how to stop it, knock it off.
like there's saying.
what's the point of having most powerful military in the world if you can't flexing it every now and then.
