Yeah. All the idiots who don’t understand the world is a powder keg currently are clearly brilliant. This election is beyond important. May be too late though.
I don't reckon it will be either. But it will be calculated, on their schedule and on their terms. Iran just added another chit to the pile of retribution owed, to be collected with much interest at a later date.
Watch we will dance again. Fantastic. Amazing how they live over there. They must not even bother with Halloween
Because that's would result in all-out war. Israel can accomplish its goals with far less. This attack and the one in April show that Iran is either scared of Israel or entirely incapable of inflicting serious harm. Either way, trying to take out a head of state gains them nothing in security but costs everything in diplomacy.
Fair enough.
I think October 7th was Israel’s 9-11 and they have exactly zero ****s left to give at this point. I think they literally don’t care.
They can achieve their objectives and Iran can’t touch them either way.
The reality is we should have continued to do more. He was completely right about that though.
It wouldn't be my opening salvo if I were them, but it would very much be on the table should the Iranians continue to fire back. Round one would be destroying their oil fields to choke off funding. Round 2 would be their nuclear program. Round 3 I would hit at their power centers in and around Tehran (Basij HQ, IRGC HQ, etc.) If it went to Round 4 everyone in their leadership structure would be a target.
Would you give any shits if you were them? I wouldn't. But I still always assume nations behave as rational actors, and taking that step isn't rational.
At least not at this point. At some point, killing a head of state can become the rational move.
I bet you a $1 Israel bombs them directly.
How many acts of war does it take before the war is on?
Such missiles will be Nuclear payloads if nothing is done.
Isn’t killing the king (capture the capital) time honored military strategy.
Isn’t this Khomeini‘s 2nd missile barrage.
During a war all leaders are military targets.
I don’t think the shame of not killing enough Israeli citizens will suffice this time.
The 2nd barrage just confirms that Iran fermented a real war against Israel.
Indiana needs to stop scoring. It’s 117 to 50, and it’s unfair. They should be required by the NCAA and BIG Ten to let Purdue catch up. The biggest lead Purdue had was 2-0, and so IU has to stop trying.
“With Hamas depleted and Hezbollah in disarray, Iran’s proxies can’t defend it the way they usually would…Ali Khamenei may be betting that Mr Biden will shrink again from defending the civilized world from a dangerous regime. Will he be right?”
Because there is a difference between killing a king / leader on the battlefield and an assassination. "killing the king" was a time honored military strategy long ago, but not in modern times. Now, this is all based upon the modern definition of articles of war, and certainly we follow it much more than other countries do, but that's what makes us the "good guys". What was proposed up thread was an assassination, which is different than, for example, when an invading force overtakes the capitol and captures / kills the leader.
Sure, it's a nuance, and not necessarily logical, but it's the terms we try to follow.
We might. Was a crazy episode! Watch it. That show has gotten so monotonous but this was something. Out in the middle of the ocean
