Not everyone here are Hamas sympathizers apart from an Obvious French Muslim and maybe a few left leaning guys from the US.

Not stick our thumb in Putin's eye in the first place. Biden micromanaged a coup d'etat in Russia's back yard to
overthrow a democracy aligned with Russia and put a puppet regime in place. When Russia tried to negotiate slicing and dicing spheres of influence in Ukraine, we rejected their overtures and wouldn't budge an inch. But when Russia was willing to invest the force needed to conquer their slice of Ukraine, Biden wasn't willing to invest the force necessary to defend our claim. And at every opportunity to broker a peace we rejected it. And now Russia will wind up with a bigger slice than we could have let them have at the bargaining table.
Its a simple axiom, don't take it if you can't hold it.

The weaponization of the dollar directly undermines our geopolitical hegemony. Our allies won't join our economic warfare, and the unaligned world and our enemies are divesting from the dollar as both a reserve currency and exclusive petroleum exchange currency. At this rate in a few decades every international trade will be done in RMB

well that exactly what i expected, nothing more or less.

and the fact that they hurry up to make a statement that it's done and sealed unless Israel will retaliate. oh please.

crude oil will be on the rise soon. invest properly.

good night!

OK? I'm just spitballin' here fam.

Why do you think Iran decided to go balls to the wall? You think it is simply just a retaliatory strike for the embassy hit?

I've never said that Iran would beat israel in a 1v1, I've merely pointed out that it's missle system is world class and everyone who chided me for stating this has no idea what they're talking about and they get their military knowledge from reddit

Seeing footage of hits on Twitter, can anyone in Israel confirm if this is real or bs? Would be significant if one round of strikes would be enough to penetrate the iron dome

The question is not what Iran will do tonight but rather, what will Israel's response be. If Iran had done a reciprocal attack on an Israeli diplomatic mission in another country (which has a higher chance of success, low on the FAFO meter) then Israel's options would have been limited (when viewed from the international stage). I think it is monumentally dumb for Iran to attack Israel direct, just as it was monumentally dumb of Israel to attack Syria. As it stands, depending on what this current attack does inside Israel, I expect an escalation by way of a direct attack on Iran by Israel, and the question really is, how far will Israel go. Based on the last 6 months, Israel is likely to attack multiple sites in Iran. Which may result in a bit of tit for tat. no big deal. The real concern that people have voiced over the last few days is whether Israel will attack critical sites in Iran, because if that happens Iran will have no choice but to declare war on Israel.

It may be that Iran is not seeking to do serious damage to Israel, but I personally think this is a terrible miscalculation by Iran as Israel is very likely going to use this to justify what they do next.
