yeah its sorta crazy to talk about retaliation in this context. that was the retaliation. I was super surprised they let trump get away with something similar hoestly.
It's the constant western media manipulation that Israel is the victim and is just fighting for their survival surrounded by horrible countries, that like the Germans, want to exterminate them.
It's plain persecution fetish with denial of any responsibility
Don't get me wrong. I recognize the invasion was a retaliation, albeit an outsized one. At the end of the day im more of a, why are we involved with this region at all guy than a pro or anti guy.
Definitely can, but only like 2 of the warheads out of hundreds actually got to the air base, and I don't think anyone was hurt. Which means most any response would be disproportionate. With the warnings Iran gave, seems like they were trying to deescalate while saving face domestically.
it also cost way more to stop than it cost them to launch. economic win.
didn't think of this before, but it was also very educational for everyone, so win there too
I hope Biden pulls in the leash on these idiots. At the very least I hope if Biden lets Israel continue down this path, the international community lets Israel try to defend itself and get what it deserves.
Idk how but in this situation the tail wags the dog
He already advised them to not retaliate, that the successful interceptions were enough.
Netanyahu doing his best to trigger a regional war.
Because it will be a distraction of his internal and external policies failures, so he cannot be persecuted for the numerous crimes he committed.
Definitely.
Not just him either, this article explains why various factions want to prolong/create war.
