They can't stop coping. Trump did nothing but bend over to Israel and saber rattle with Iran his entire presidency. At least the Biden administration is trying to push back on these bloodthirsty Israeli psychopaths. Trump says they should be wiping them out faster. Kushner (a lock to be in his administration) says Israel should take all the Palestinian land and Europe should take them in. Blumph is 100% worse than Biden on this issue. And it's a damn big issue.

I agree it's Trump's worst position, but we probably wouldn't have had the war in Ukraine under his presidency. How many lives would that have spared now? The last I listened to Macgregor it was 500k dead Ukrainians, and that was probably 6 months ago. That's an insane number. That's also not taking into account how many Russians have died in this war egged on by our government.

Who knows if Israel would have behaved this way if we didn't have such a clown show of a weak administration now? How many Palestinians have died because of it? That's the reality of the situation, you'd have to get hypothetical at best to say that about Trump.

We've never had a weaker president than Biden, he literally has dementia. It's sad and embarrassing. These countries see a weak and pathetic United States, and here we are.

Ask me who's more likely to send US troops to fight and die for Israel in the middle east? I'm honestly going to say Trump over Biden.

So proud to be Iranian after last night... The only nation who stood up the Israeli terrorist regime.

Turn Israel into glass

Iraq stood up to them back in the day. That's why Satanyahu wanted to get rid of them.

It appears not a single person was injured in the attack

My analysis is that the scale of Iran’s attack, the diversity of locations it targeted, and weapons it used, forced Israel to uncover the majority of anti-missile technologies the US and it have across the region.

The Iranians did not use any weapons Israel didn’t know it had, it just used a lot of them. But the Iranians likely now have almost a full map of what Israel’s missile defence system looks like, as well as where in Jordan and the Gulf the US has installations. It also knows how long it takes to prepare them, how Israeli society responds…etc

This is a huge strategic cost to Israel, while Arab regimes now are being blasted by their peoples, particularly the Jordanian monarchy, for not doing anything to protect Gazans but then going all out to protect Israel.

Crucially, Iran can now reverse engineer all the intel gathered from this attack to make a much more deadly one credible. While the US and Israel will have to re-design away from their current model which has been compromised. Its success in stopping this choreographed attack is thus still very costly.

Moreover, with the threat of a regional war that neither the US nor the Arab regimes want feeling nearer, it’s likely their pressure on Israel to back down will increase, making a ceasefire more feasible.

Anyone assuming this is just theatrics is missing the context of how militaries assess strategy versus tactics. Theatre is an important factor, but gathering intelligence of the “enemy’s” posture is more valuable, especially if one believes they’re in a long war of attrition.

Netanyahu and the Israel government prefer a quick hot and urgent war where they can pull in America. The Iranians prefer a longer war of attrition that bleeds Israel of its deterrence capabilities and makes it an ally for Arabs and the US that’s too costly to have.

Good, we're just knocking the door.

Check out the stats:

UPDATE: IRAN MISSLE HIT/MISS RATE

331 missiles and drones launched by Iran at Israel:

- 185 out of 185 Kamikaze Drones were shot down

- 103 out of 110 Ballistic Missiles were shot down

- 36 out of 36 Cruise Missiles were shot down

- 7 Ballistic Missile impacts have been recorded on Israeli territory

So this means Israel's air defense/missile intercept/jamming systems are stupendously amazing or Iran's missile/drone technology is sorely lacking.

At the same time, Iran's actions could bolster US anti-Iran stance (especially those who fear Iran's nuclear ambitions) and change US trajectory from Ukraine towards countering the Iran threat. At the very least, the US will impose more sanctions on Iran.

Lmao Trumpers actually believe this. Lol

Let's see... Biden is "weak" yet he's funding the war against Russia vs Trump who literally said Russia could do whatever the hell they want... you people are delusional.

Source?

Iran didn't kill A SINGLE MILITARY PERSONEL. Over 400 drones and BALLISTIC MISSILES launched, and the only death is a 4 year old. And you are proud of that?

Yes, it's incredibly tragic because they could have flourished under legitimately progressive culture that shed aside a hateful, destructive, and oppressive religious cult ruling over everyone's lives.

Ever single time there has been some intervention on behalf of the US/CIA, a leader who might have been less exploitable was exchanged for a time bomb hiding a far greater evil. Even leaders talked up as bad like Sadam were at least a local counter force to the boiling Islamists who would eventually take his place. Yeah, dictators are bad, but American policy allowed something much worse to rise up out of the hubris that we could just snap our fingers and establish a stable democracy.

Because America's goal isn't to spread democracy at all. That is just rhetoric they sell to rubes. Their goal is to subjugate and decimate threats to American power and expand American control and influence. It was never about democracy at all. The American foreign policy establishment actively eliminates rising threats to American hegemony. Look what happened to Libya. Look at Iraq and Syria. And look at Ukraine, where America armed nazis to destabilize their country.

The American project isn't about democracy or spreading it. It has long ago been coopted by the capitalist class, whose sole objective is profit and their own prosperity.

Biden claimed at the sotu address that Pat was so proud of for some morbid kind of reason that Donald Trump would let Russia do whatever they wanted. Pat is just repeating Biden’s talking points. And he calls other people cultists lol.

Trump openly said he would let Russia do whatever they wanted if NATO allies didn't meet their funding commitments.

Seems unfair to ask this of European allies after we provoked this proxy war and disrupted their main energy supply and also further endangered them.

"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus," the mission’s statement, posted on social media platform X, states.

"The matter can be deemed concluded," the mission argued.


Fukin LOL. Iran gets it's embassy leveled and their response is a bunch of drones that get shot down..now they're claiming "ok ok we consider this matter concluded"

Iran made itself look weak as ****, they don't want more Israeli smoke.

Yes, Iran are not like you savages... They only attacked military installations... If Iran wants they can flatten the whole of Israel.

This was a limited response. Iran spent 10m dollars on this attack, Israel's defence cost 1.2B.

We knocked the door... Now we have the key.

I don't think you realise how big this is and what it has done for Iran.

Iran should just do this until Israel is bankrupt and out of defenses then. They can call it "blowing the leaves". (Like how Israel thinks they "mow the lawn" on Palestinians.) Don't even target people so they can't escalate without being the bad guy. Just waste away their infrastructure and weaponry. Hit them in the wallet.

So Iran hit 1 airbase, but do we even know if anything of value was damaged?

I doubt any jets got destroyed, Israel most likely had them all in the air.

U.S, U.K, France, Saudi Arabia and Jordan all helped Israel in air defense. Kinda impressive Iran was still able to hit 1 airbase, but I wonder what the damage is

Idk, seems like a nothing burger, depends if Israel does something. Might just call it even and WW3 cancelled

Dirty capitalist checking in...


As far as the world stage goes- and our involvement - the Truman doctrine - is the bed we made to lay in that there really is no turning back from after we were about 15 to 20 years into it.

We accepted (and retained) a leaning role of the world stage that involved a spread of influence to counteract the communism spread of influence- as well, took the commanding position for our own interest, financial interest, and self preservation.

It's easy to criticize the spread aspects of that doctrine, especially on future US leaders who pretty much were test to maintain it (even if unwillingly)- who are often unjustly criticize for such.

We can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, but we could readjust for a different kind of spread overtime.


The truth is, it's probably stopped great multiple widescale wars over the last 70 years - especially what the 80s may have been like if we didn't put ourselves in such a extravagant position of military strength.

We prevented what, probably could've been, the most bloody wars ever known to man.


My personal opinion is the Iran plan demise actually started with the 1979 Halloween massacre of the intelligence community- this left out real life human infrastructure to depleted to navigate or pivot our way into better policy- that would've been good for us and Iran.

Leaving Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in power too long was a grave blunder as well - that was easy to see- have we fixed that in the middle early 70s we would have much less problems.


But after the fall of communism in the early/mid 90s, we had another pivot point we just completely missed.

We instigated at least as much as we prevented, IMO. There were also several actions taken that actually harmed democracy and global stability long term in exchange for short term gains for American elites. It's really depressing. Regarding Iran, the Iranian regime isn't some group of saints either. But I do think our meddling brought about that extremism.

America absolutely should play a role in the world stage. That doesn't mean backing nazis, terrorists, and dictators and destroying prospects of democracy and liberation while ostensibly supporting it. We should be trying to eradicate poverty and sustainably develop the world. We should sign on to the SDG plans at the UN and lead the way in helping educate and develop the most impoverished and at risk countries, both because it is the right thing to do, and because it will prevent extremism from arising there and ultimately leave us and humanity far better off.

Example: Nigeria. Nigeria is a rapidly developing country, but has a lot of poverty still. There is growing extremism and criminal activity there. They need help. We could help them and turn this all around, but instead, it seems we will wait until the situation worsens and then eventually go and do something way more costly years down the road. Ditto for the war in Sahel. These are just examples of things where the US basically completely ignores the issue, and it is worsening. It will cost us more to fix later.

The attack was designed for Israel to claim that they successfully repelled it (obviously at a great financial cost)... Giving them the option not to respond with strikes against Iran...

We will see how it plays out.

I'm saying Iran should just keep doing this to troll Israel and waste their money.

Iran did a military response and the ONLY person killed was a 4 year old child, and you say they aren’t savages? You are one stupid ape.

Wait so you are telling us it was designed knowing 99% of the projectiles would be shot down? What kind of fukking copium is this?

Israel says you cannot attack them without being punched back. I expect Israel is going to target their nuclear facilities next.

They obviously knew most would be shot down. That's why they sent so many.
