Yet they murdered hundreds of thousands Muslims in Syria. Every single Turkish village in Latakia was literally burned by ayatulas.

Only after Israel defeated Hezbollah Syria was liberated from Iranian genociders.

Same goes in Karabakh: ayatulas helped ethnically cleanse Karabakh from Turkic Muslims, Israel helped to liberate it.

Perhaps you could take your love and affection a step further and drop support for the PKK? I won't hold my breath...

You've literally stolen land from the Syrians... You spray their fields with herbicides.... You destroyed their military infrastructure....... How you get the gall to larp as the hero, speaking about genocide no less! Those who mow the lawn, are now claiming to cause the grass to grow...

Dude you lie more than you speak somehow.

$3 billion in damage in three weeks of war

According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the US military lost approximately 10 warplanes and more than a dozen drones during the conflict with Iran, along with damage to radars and the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.
On March 1, three F-15E Strike Eagle fighters were lost, mistakenly shot down by a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet. A new F-15 costs approximately $100 million.

On March 19, an F-35A Lightning II made an emergency landing; its replacement will cost $82.5 million.

Furthermore, seven KC-135 Stratotanker tankers were damaged during the conflict – two in a collision and five in an Iranian missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The latter are currently undergoing repairs, and, according to the WSJ, the irretrievably lost aircraft will likely be replaced by KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft, costing approximately $165 million.

According to estimates by a former Pentagon official cited by the newspaper, the US will be forced to spend up to $2.9 billion on repairs or replacement of military equipment.

outside of friendly fire and accidents, Iran has only managed to damage a single F-35 and a dozen drones, pretty poor performance, specially considering how much Iran has invested into air defense, even Iraq managed to do more damage with its outdated AD systems.

Not a fair comparison

Aside from the damaged F-35, there are no confirmed reports of downed American aircraft. There's also no information about what the Iranians used to attack this aircraft, but it was the most interesting aerial event of the past month. There are also doubts about the incident with the single tanker. The Americans claim that two tankers collided in mid-air. This is, to put it mildly, unlikely. They may have been attacked from the ground, with one coming under fire and the other damaged.
The Israeli Air Force, according to them, suffered no losses or damage. Okay, all these combat aircraft are undetectable by Iranian radars, but huge airfields are. 🙄 Especially since the Iranians successfully attacked Kuwait Airport on the first day of the war, destroying two Eurofighters and damaging one.
Yes, Iranian air defenses are weak; this has long been known and was confirmed during last year's war. Thus, the enemy is destroying all Iranian military facilities with impunity. It seems to me that even if the Americans withdraw from the war, Israel will be able to continue bombing until Iran's military potential is completely destroyed.
$3 billion is an insignificant sum for the US, but Iran's losses could be irreparable for at least 10 years.

Current leadership of Iran are ethnic Turks.
I would just like to post that this means nothing. They may have some Turkic blood in them but they have no problem oppressing Turkic minorities in Iran and view themselves as wholeheartedly culturally Persian.

Did you see the picture of the tailfin of the tanker that managed to land? The top of the fin was missing. Did not look like damage due to explosives to me. More consistent with an impact breaking the top of the fin off.

I examined the damaged section of the KC-135. Yes, it appears you're right that it wasn't hit by a missile, because the damage pattern isn't consistent with a missile strike; there are no shrapnel marks.
But the thing is, the damage to the vertical stabilizer is very minor; it's unlikely that a 100-ton aircraft would have hit it and fallen to the ground with serious damage. If a collision had occurred, the stabilizer would have been at least slightly bent, crushed, or deformed. But as you can see, there's nothing; it's as if the section had broken off and fallen.

It's important to consider that these enormous aircraft maintain a distance of at least several hundred meters from each other. There's simply no reason why they should have come close to each other in the air. How could they have collided in that case?
But since these are tanker aircraft, it's more likely that the fighter jet lightly brushed the stabilizer during refueling and broke off a small section.

At least 2 more KC-135s hit in Saudi Arabia. These look to be new. We can say number of out of service(temporarily, fully) tankers have now risen to 9+(at least 2 destroyed, 5 damaged, 1 crashed, 1 made emergency landing) Turkey operates 7 KC-135s total; while US has about 450, 300+ of them KC-135s.

No, I'm pretty sure no Israeli ground unit will be entering Iran. Enough with the 2nd grade name calling.
Who said they will send their own people? They will send Americans.
I am curious what Afroamericans or Hispanics think to kill or die for Israel interests? I mean, US don’t care Africa, but willing to send Afroamericans to die for Israel.

Then you will say Americans like grown ups. You've been warned multiple times before.

Than I would tell a lies. USA doesn’t want the war. Even D. Trump doesn’t want the war (you can find the corresponding statement on YouTube, few years ago). Israel wants this war. But it’s a well known fact that AIPAC wants this war, too. Same goes for other Jewish lobbyists in EU. They don’t hide it. So, if I say, Jews wants to invade Iran, I am not lying.
