He didn’t get it for the Abraham Accords so it seems he’s tired of talk. Bullies understand strength - Iran has been fighting us since they took over our embassy. “Death to America” What have we got to hear “Death to America, Part II”? “Death to America - this time we really mean it”? Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas have been fairly quiet since Israel took the fight to them. Swat the mosquito down and be done with it.
The problem there is that the logic that flows from it is that Israel is essentially dictating the actions of the US military, which…
This. They were one of the nations identified by Reagan as part of the Axis of Evil. They have call for “Death to America” for 46 years. They have funded terrorists who have killed Americans. Anyone want them to have nukes?
the rah rah will wear off. The question is what Iran’s response will be. If it draws us into something the anti interventionists feared, even if it’s just economic (straits of Hormuz being blocked for instance) the jingoism will wear off quickly. Remember Bush senior having an approval rating near 90 after the gulf war and losing an election a few years later. And that was without any real retaliation from Iraq.
I think how this went down was the best possible way since Israel didn't have those bunker busters. The bare minimum we needed to do.
One of the talking heads was saying that the B-2's that were reported earlier as being on the way to Guam did not have time to make this attack, so it had to be aircraft from other places.
And yet, they have never been able to truly, directly hurt the United States. Any "nukes" in Iran were never a threat to the United States either. I could not care less if they bombed Israel out of existence anymore than I cared about Iran fighting Iraq. Trump is an ABSOLUTE brain dead moron who has done everything that the evil, corrupt, fellow criminal Netanyahu has demanded of him. Apparently Democrats just need to find a self-obsessed Dictator to yell at Trump and Trump will fold like the spineless coward he is. He certainly is afraid of Kim Jung-un, Putin, Xi or Netanyahu. Trump cannot wait to kiss that dictator arse.
Speculation on Fox News is that the strike on Fordow likely included at least six MOPs, strikes on other sites included sub-launched cruise missiles.
