Man, we're getting some great footage right now. I'll be curious to see a couple things over next 2-3 days. 1). Are the Iranian strikes damaging much of significance to thr Israelis? 2). Is Iran's inventory of ballistic missiles significant enough to continue attacks of this volume, for...

They do both. About $5 Billion worth of donated military equipment this year and another $2.2 Billion funded via a loan. It makes sense to fund the Ukrainians in any way possible.

I'm glad to see Iran defend themselves a strike back FFS. They really need to bow up and make this a fight.

I'm speaking from a 3rd party perspective here. When I said "one can only hope", I meant that objectively, from the Iranian perspective. In a clash between Israel and Iran I lean towards the Israeli side, but not by much. More than anything I'm just genuinely curious to see if Iran has any kind...

Israel does not want peace between Iran and USA. They want U.S. (and regional) help in defeating Iran and gaining regional supremacy of sorts.

Seeing reports that the following important figures have been confirmed killed in strikes. Major General Hossein Salami, Head of the IRGC Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, Commander of Iran's Armed Forces Central Headquarters Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi and Dr. Fereydoon Abassi-Davani, two...

Russia, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Iraq, Yemen (Houthis). They're also friendly with the likes of China. The list continues to grow if we talk about countries that have serious opposition to Israel's actions in the region, but won't dare get involved with the conflict for a variety of reasons.

The other thing that is incredibly obvious is that Iran's 🇮🇷 "allies" are all talk and largely allergic to meaningful action. In the Realpolitik word that we live in, nobody is rushing to Iran's aid or defense, regardless of how connected they are ethically, morally, religiously, etc. It's time...

One can only hope that Iran 🇮🇷 can get it's shit together enough to mount a credible counter attack, that achieves reasonable damage, on Israel. Otherwise, their credibility will be entirely shot. After they looked feckless last time around, anything short or a saturation attack that achieves...

The much "vaunted" Iranian 🇮🇷 air defense systems that I constantly hear about seem to have been to be extremely ineffective and perform exceptionally poorly... I'll wait to see how this plays out, but Iran can't seem to defend itself from the air.

Ukraine's layered air defense continues to improve, this time bolstered by the announcement that they'll receive numerous British made RapidRanger mobile air defense systems in 2025. The $2.2 Billion loan from Britain 🇬🇧 will be used to purchase both vehicle mounted air defense system and 5000...
