    It feels like our whole Air Force is heading to Iran.

    I am afraid that we in the west learned the wrong lesson from the Israeli war in Gaza. There was absolutely no blowback to the Israeli’s for their indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, and if Iran does not quickly capitulate, the same will be true for the Persians.

    love the inference here that a "multi-week campaign" is a "long" war.

    The strikes may begin imminently, or even sooner.

    There are very real downsides to over deploying.

    This is starting to feel like February 2022 with how much hardware is being parked outside of Iran.

    More of even the little MAGA are realizing the can’t have nice things because we spend it all on wespons and wars often for the support of the more genocidal Israelís. Big MAGA make big $$ off of war.
