I’m not sure why you dragged me into that?
Is that yet another Alex burner account? If so have you informed the mods?
You should.

Well don’t be schoolyard either and pulling people into your arguments that have nothing to do with them. Namely me.

Israel destroys every hospital in Gaza
Media - crickets
Iran hits one hospital in Israel
Media - ISLAMIC TERRORIST STATE IRAN ATTACKS INNOCENT PEOPLE IN ISRAELI HOSPITAL!
BREAKING: Iran has justified toppling high rise buildings, saying in each case it had reason to believe a single Israeli operative might have been inside. It has thanked Israel for establishing this as a rule of war

The US attacking Iran would be a huge tactical mistake. Once the bunker-buster tech is demonstrated in the field one of two things will happen: either it will fail to destroy the underground development base and teach every other nation how to protect their nuke programs or it succeeds but enough data is captured by China and Russia that they will develop effective countermeasures and potentially publish them. It's lose/lose.

I think he’ll be reigned in and settle for taking out the ayotlah and whatever is left of his regime.
I don’t see bunker busters or nukes being used.
That won’t satisfy the bloodthirsty deranged cunt netenyahu though who will insist on turning the whole place to glass and if the yanks won’t do it, he’ll contrive a reason that Israel has to.
Take this to the bank and call it a cheque.

Told the truth about COVID origins, ending explicitly discriminatory hiring practices in the federal government, effectively sealing the southern border, and phasing out that bullshit engine shutoff feature in cars. He also did that law that says hospitals must publish prices prior to service, but I don't think that is actually being followed and medical providers are using some kind of 'proprietary information' loophole. And though I acknowledge there is a give and take in politics, I'm not convinced that these good things are not outweighed by the all the awful things he's done and continues to do to debase our country and our history, many of which may be irreversible.

Iran demonstrated in their response to the Soleimani assassination that their ballistic missiles can hit what they aim for (in that case some hangars/ helicopters). Israel has a fairly robust wartime censorship apparatus, so if Iran has been successfully cratering runways and hitting other military targets we don't necessarily hear about it. What we do see is the apartment complexes and hospitals that get hit, possibly due to incomplete interceptions/ electronic warfare countermeasures.
What Iran is hitting could also be due to just aiming at general areas and rushed targeting, but its hard to evaluate their target selection in this information environment.

Are partial interceptions not a thing anymore? Hit to kill is the objective, but didn't a good number of Scud warheads hit the ground back in 1991 after their boosters got peppered pretty good by Patriot fragments?
I'm not seeing any OSINT satellite images of Israeli airbases (presumably due to gentlemen's agreements). We're seeing half the story. Is Iran targeting 5% of their missiles at military targets? 80%? We can't evaluate that. Did I suggest they have any issues targeting civilian infrastructure?

Iran hit and destroyed the stock exchange building in tel Aviv today. They know exactly what they’re aiming for and are able to hit it. Despite the manipulations and omissions of media.

It’s almost like you’re reading from a prepared Fox News script
Par for the course with you though.
