Good for them.
Sucks for us though.
Sucks for all decent people, but Israel wanted this and America is their bully so…
It’s funny that you think America isn’t pulling the strings from the start.
There’s little difference between the two at this point. They are intertwined. Fuck both administrations.
Trunk & Netanyahu teaming up for Operation Jailbreak against Iran
Trump’s only on board because he thought it was Operation Jailbait
The people that oppress women and gay people? Good for those people? Jesus, dude… Fuck you.
Get off your stupid high horse, America doesn’t get to bomb and decide who gets to be president. In fact, America is opressing people of colour right now so lets bomb them?
Who is America not oppressing right now excepting billionaires?
Too many people don’t seem to care apparently.

I’m so old I read this as something about Mortimer Snerd being in the Kardashian clan. I’ve always seen the resemblance. https://images.app.goo.gl/2TgrbwrBvmeiihWv5

Do Israel and Iran realize how bad this looks for Trump? Did they think about him at all? Did they even say thank you?
I was told we didn’t start a war.
Oh right uh…hang on…it’s just like…hostilities?
I heard it was a special military operation, only meant to last 3 days.
Reports indicate it was a muted response to indicate an intention to deescalate. They had to do something but they didn’t go crazy. We’ll see, I guess.
Here we go again…
Another link for live updates:
Totally expected. What would be unexpected is firing at the country itself.
Welp…
I did say it wasn’t going to be chill over there for very long.
So far, reports state “fired at” but come up short of saying “hit”.
Sounds like air defenses may have intercepted all of them? At least to the extent we can trust reporting at this stage.
ngl, it’d be more satisfying to read about a successful counterstrike…
Why not attack the U.S. directly? There are plenty of coastal bases in the U.S.
I feel like it would hurt a whole lot more if they were to go after something on U.S. soil…not that I exactly want that. Being bombed at home sounds terrifying.
Im just curious what the logic was behind this.
Even if they wanted to, how would they accomplish that?
They do technically have orbital launch capability, which implies they in theory have the capacity to construct an ICBM, even if not with a nuclear warhead necessarily. Granted, the results of such a strike almost certainly would not be worth the costs to them so I’ve no expectation they’ll do such a thing, but they probably could if they wanted to badly enough.
Same way the U.S. flew war planes all the way to Iran.
I can cont on 0 hands how many airbases Iran has access to near the US.
Iran has no ability to do that.
Iran’s friends Russia and China certainly do.
I’m not sure those two really do. Any Russian claims have been proven suspect, and China’s force protection has always been their Achilles heel.
Perhaps because if they did that, there’s a very high chance trump would nuke them. He’s been itching for a reason to use nukes since his first term, and that would give him the excuse he wants.
e: I think the fact I got 2 opposing comments (he’d do it without justification and he’d be stopped by the CoC even with justification) might be telling here. He’s a monkey with a machine gun, and who knows if justification would work on others in the chain of command? Perhaps they’d rather not risk that.
You are getting downvoted but i agree with you its obvious they dont really try to hurt the US.
Even the missiles they did fire, ALL of them were intercepted by US missile defence and not a single person was hurt.
Its just to show that they hit back a little symbolically.
It’s pretty straightforward, they have to do something, but they really don’t want a war with the US despite any public comments. An attack that can be directly traced to Iran that even targeted the mainland would be a great way to ensure the US escalates.
The ONLY good point to this would be that it would draw the US public into action. A base in the Middle East got hit? People shrug it off, it’s nothing new and doesn’t affect them. A naval or army base on the East Coast gets a missile hit? At least if there was disagreement on what to do, we’d be arguing about it. Assuming that Iran can even get that far…
And to be clear, it’s only a good point in that it would wake people up that shit isn’t right, and maybe they’d feel threatened enough for their own welfare to do something.
Because these are short to medium range ground fired missiles? They don’t reach that far. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think they have submarines that can get close and fire missiles at the United States proper.
I have no idea. They have a nuclear program, so I assumed they have a somewhat sophisticated and modern military.
They have OIL.
That’s a bad assumption, North Korea has nukes.
It’s just a bigger stick.
Fear. And a lot more difficult to successfully hit.
There hasn’t been a war on U.S. mainland in 150 years. If a misil hits it it could trigger easily WWIII. Last attack on U.S. was 9/11 and that started multiple wars.
Didn’t Japan hit Oregon in ww2
There will be a “terrorist” attack in the near future. The something with guns during a crowded event. My money is on a 4th of July event shooting. Sadly that’s the only way Iran and other poor nations have to fight back. Until Iran and poor nations get nukes they will be taken advantage of. I’m pro Iran nukes simple because them not having them is obviously not working for anyone
Have you tried using logic to answer your question?
Apparently not. since its so obvious to you, why dont you use your big brain and share with the class?
Why haven’t you tried to use logic?
