    Hopefully not all of them right? Just the ones that were on target? Because why waste resources on the ones that flew back to homebase?

    I’m hoping this doesn’t escalate like everyone is saying.

      This absurd obsession with refusing to escalate/being afraid of escalation is emboldening our enemies, and is allowing them to escalate and walk all over us without any push back.

      They are attacking us right now because they view us as a bunch of chickenshit weaklings that are too afraid to fight back. Our leaders are a pathetic limp wristed disgrace and are doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing to end this now before it spirals out of control.

      If we want this to stop we need to completely obliterate their ability to make war in the most overwhelming show of force possible, not keep treating them with the fscking kid gloves.

        They are attacking you right now because you attacked them first. Simple as that. Don’t start shit you don’t want to get involved with.

          It’s not like they were minding their business and got attacked. Iran is a state sponsor of terror

            So the is Saudi Arabia, the CIA, and Israel 🤷

            The bombing of the Iranian embassy was absolutely nothing but pure unadulterated provocation.
