Weird how none of these pilots have actually been named, nor have their families said anything
I don't think the USA rescued anyone. I think this was a failed attempt to transport uranium out of Iran.

The appearance of AI slop pilots doesn't instill confidence, plus Trump lies about everything.
The pedophile that stole top secret government documents and has been on record exposing military intelligence said that? Crazy. Go get em, tiger.
Tiger is too busy with his DUI classes.
Jailing journalists. Text book.
So very Russian.
and now American
Apparently trump has difficulty figuring out that if a fighter has a crew of 2 and one is rescued there must be one left over somewhere...
The whole thing is not spilled top secret info and the Iranians would have been searching as soon as they figured out it was a 2 seated F15 that was shot down.
It kind of reads like "we're missing a pilot but unless there is hubbub about it we plan on doing nothing" and now their hand got forced.
Remember how low trump thinks of wounded soldiers...
I'm still doubting the pilot was rescued. Especially after that other cunt, Abbot, was caught sharing an AI generated pic of the allegedly rescued pilot.
Trump when he finds out who actually leaked it:
(The joke is it's Netanyahu)
The president did not share any names as to the leaker, the journalists, or the media outlets that he believed had publicized the story. But after his comments, some members of the press pointed toward Fox News and The Washington Post for being among the first to land the scoop.
Yet those media companies were not the only ones to report that one member of the military had been unaccounted for after the initial rescue on Friday: Reuters also reported at the time that just one of the aircrew had been rescued. Hours later, the outlet reported that a search and rescue was underway.
Other journalists jumped to claim the scoop, even after Trump’s threat. Amit Segal—an Israeli journalist with ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—said on his Telegram chat later Monday that he was the first to report the story.
“As you may recall, this was first published here,” Segal wrote.
"I'm Spartacus!"
Cool
Who in US government keeps leaking classified information? Dementia-Don himself.
I mean, you don't need to do much to get confidential info from US, just wait until you are accidentally added to a chat group
I... I am so confused here. The CIA pulled a psyop making him look rescued before he was in an attempt to confuse Iran. This Is public knowledge. Someone with sympathy please sponsor me to get out of this hell hole :(
Who leaked it?
Brother, the most likely suspect is you.
It's on brand for Trump to gloat and parade a successful rescue but that's not what's happening so it's highly suspect.
