    Man, I hope they took it down. The worst possible scenario is for Israel to have done a sneak attack on Iran and almost taken out its nuclear weapons program.

    Way to slam those barn doors extra loudly after the horses have already escaped.

    Perhaps this operation is really just Israel’s tribute to Brian Wilson for producing and singing The Beach Boys version of that song. What, too early? Mods can remove if so or if too flippant.

    BTW, power on my street went out unexplainably a short time ago. Perhaps a first cyber volley by Iran on us…

    We did not move 75% of the active B-2 bomber fleet + several more B-52 bombers because we thought the pilots needed a vacation out in the Indian Ocean.

    Further to that, it puts in a whole new light the US Government redirecting 20,000 missiles intended for Ukraine to the Middle East. Israel may have acted alone but we certainly knew they were going to attack well before reports of it yesterday.

    It was a slimy appeal to Congress for more money and more resources. I loathe that scumbag criminal Netanyahu.

    Meanwhile, he looked pretty healthy there. Why was his court case delayed only yesterday due to his "illness"?

    Scumbag is going to send the entire middle east into war so he can avoid being convicted corruption.

    Curious what bunker busters Israel will claim they used. The most powerful one would require our bombers to be delivered accurately "supposedly".

    I’m betting on Israel here. I don’t know if they’ll accomplish their full goals (taking out the nuclear capabilities, and what ever else) but they’ll certainly come out on “top” here.

    Damned shame that Apartheid Elon, Big Balls and little bi-atch Rubio cut US Aid for MEK, otherwise we might actually know what in the hell Israel just bombed.

    Also depends on whether Iran opts to just target Israel, or if they choose to go after US assets, the straight of hormuz, the gulf oil states etc. Either way, it won't end well for them.
    While we will ultimately have Israel's back, Pootie pie, NK and others favor Iran. Not worth blowing up the entire world however.

    Remember, the Houthis vowed to defend Iran too and said the US was a target. This could escalate and draw the US in (and/or elements in our government may use it as an excuse to hit Iran).

    They evidently were ready to go as they must have screwed up Iran's air defenses big time ahead of these strikes. I wonder if some virus type stuff was used.

    I always heard from MAGA how Obama (and Biden) started like 18 "wars" and Trump started 0. Did he start a war here?

    Israel took out their Russian air defense systems months ago and if Russia can still produce any for third parties I’m sure they haven’t yet been replaced.

    You’ll have to demonstrate how Trump started it, but I’m listening.

    Never been a fan of Netanyahu but if they pull this off as planned what they’ve accomplished militarily in the region is extraordinary.

    Fox Now (tv) reporting that Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel.
