WHY do you Think it's APPROPRIATE to Attack US Military Bases AFTER they Bombed a Bunch of Children in your Country?
-NBC News!
Jesus fucking Christ this is how stupid they think we are.
And they're mostly right!
We need news readers who are less stupid. I’m not asking for geniuses.
Mediocre would be an improvement.
Have you guys caught that the Ayatollah is dead now?
He is so dead he is quintuple deaded. Israel told me so.
Where does that land on the scale of Elvis to Epstein?
I wonder if he's as dead as last time.
Iranian state media told me so.
He was very old anyway and because of that now iran is targetting the american terrorists and killed 3 so far
I understand it's there right but isn't it a better strategy to focus on attacking Israel? I doubt those cowards Arab leaders will do any real pressure on the USA even when Iran retaliate on them
They're being very restrained honestly. Missile attacks against Israel and local bases are bare minimum response. They have the funds and people to do serious unconventional warfare damage.
Yes and no. Technically yes, but practically no. There has been a lot of unrest and the majority of the people are not willing to fight for this regime. So if Iran were to go all out against Israel or the US with the people and means they have, the popular protests would make it impossible to keep that going very quickly.
It's like the queen being pinned to the king in chess. You can't move it because that would actually be worse.
I didn't say all out, I said unconventional. Facing the US military head on is just suicide with more steps. Iran has a lot more options.
Why beat a dog when you can beat its master?
