OT: World Politics

Getting the Saudis and Jordan to put their cards on the table is a win for Israel. It also got the world back on Israel’s side.

They aren’t exactly known for their chill, pragmatic responses though so we’ll see.

But still Iran indiscriminately fired hundreds of rockets and drones from Iran and all their terrorists cells in the region. Just because Israel and its allies are stronger doesn’t make the attack and less unprecedented. All in response to a direct hit that killed 6 regimers. It was a clear violation of international law and collective punishment. Not nothing.

I dunno. They sent those drones on like 'efficiency mode' or something because they could have got there much faster. And they told everyone when they launched. They knew they'd be shot down.
 
meanwhile Trudeau said yesterday that he supports Israel’s right to defend itself. Which was probably reflexive and not him saying he’s supportive of retaliation.

Iran is worried that for the first time in 40 years Israel has battle hardened troops who are tactically prepared.

I'm sure the US/Britain backed coup of a democratic leader had no influence on Iran's path over the past 70 years or so.

Sure, but Iran also had its own domestic influences which included a violent, repressive theocratic demagogues who were motivated by religious creed and resisting modernization.

So this telegraphed attack was even weaker than i thought. Not sure how this doesn't end up making them look even more ineffectual.

So Iran sent a bunch of softballs over knowing they’d be picked off with ease…

You’re move, Bibi.

They launched over 300 drones and missiles. Including over 100 cruise and ballistic missiles. Seems like a clear attempt to overwhelm air defence. I wouldn’t call that a bunch of softballs.
