TEL AVIV โ€” The U.S. and Israel have launched strikes against Iran with the goal of toppling the regime, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.

Iran retaliated by launching missiles at Israel and a U.S. naval base in Bahrain. An Iranian official said all Israeli and U.S. interests in the region were now considered legitimate targets.

I hope everyone enjoys the explosive new prices that result.

No, you're right nothing for you to lose. And you'd get like a year. The ones uninterested in colonialism have guns but they don't really have any desire to fight for anything, they're still waiting for someone to save them so they'd die quiet. Then it would get worse.

A year might be long enough to shape up the UN and get better coalitions built amongst yourselves, not really a time to be resting though.
