If you're scared of more terror attacks with said extremely limited standoff munitions, that's very real and I'm not mitigating that. A deterrence equation doesn't foreclose on the real possibility of insane, counterproductive cruelty. It is not as if dying in a terror attack that has little-to-no strategic value would be any less horrible, though knowing the dogs all across the region are coming with you might be some consolation. These are very very limited stocks of weapons that cannot be swiftly replenished and for that reason they need to be reserved for high-value targets. The political and terror usage of them last time was completely ineffective. I have zero respect for most of the online discussion around this subject, which consists mostly of reiterating popular commentators. You should log off so you can't let people like me get you panicking about the worst possibilities. The Pentagon is going to be considering the actual results of the attack in addition to the large number of mysterious shipments from Russia and China which have arrived that we know have included very powerful anti-stealth long-range radars a game changer here since the successful the penetrations last time exploited their absence extensively apologies for any dictation errors and I will throw in the wild card of EMPs, which are another GWOT fixation betraying US malice I could be biased due to reading kooky Bush admin officials' mutterings on the subject. Ask yourself who led you to believe that imperialists unable to subdue Yemen have free reign over Iran, and you will probably end up purging a lot of useful idiots. Nobody in their right mind is basing the risk reward of attacking Iran on fake news about F-35s flying over unhindered. Just to remind you what carpet bombing actually is. It's not like I didn't consider conventional options before I jumped to secret gas worse than sarin.

They act like you're supposed to believe they've filtered out all the fake news by having a conscience. Which is really sad.

Something seems very off here, and I can't be satisfied with market manipulation as an explanation when so many lives are at stake. Don't talk about people dying from such an abstract standpoint. It's wrong. They deserve to have the details explored. The 12 day war is the most interesting strategic event of our lifetimes, a thousand times more interesting than 911. Yet people seem so eager to brush past the details. I just can't understand it. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably. Oh how it writhes, writhes inside my head. Anyways.
