    Yeah Yemen seems like a hotbed for future suicide bombers, they have zero to offer the world in the sense that a functioning economy would help keep fundamentalism away. It’s a truly awful situation and sorry but we don’t need Houthis affecting world shipping.

    I hope the people manage to make it through.

    From what I've read from analysts the Israelis perceived only a minimal amount of ballistic missile strikes would get through, not sure what other capabilities the Iranians have other than said strikes.

    *Hope this isn't cheerleading anything.

    It appears this was in motion to the point nothing was gonna stop it. Regarding previous replies to a similar post Thursday night, I'm fully aware of the nuances of this and I'm not cheerleading anything. It just looks beyond incredulous that the Israelis were caught by surprise with the original Hamas attack.

    It’s pretty absurd how infiltrated Iranian military/intelligence is by Mossad.

    From all accounts, they picked up the intelligence that Hamas was planning something big but dismissed it mostly out of arrogance. (Ours wasn’t quite as bad, but considering we were monitoring the 9/11 hijackers and it still happened was a huge lapse as well)

    Obligatory I don't want to see anyone else die and this all really sucks.

    Yeah at its best Mossad is extremely capable. Clearly the best in the Middle East and from what I understand Jordan is probably #2. I'm not cheerleading shut but based on what's happened it seems apparent that the "Axis of Resistance" was actually relatively brittle. At least some portion stems from the substantial Iranian resources used to prop up Assad (iirc at least $5 billion cash to keep Syrian economy going) but other resources spent certainly add up.

    Iranian missiles are getting through, questions are how many more they have and can Israeli population put up with this?

    It’s obvious the GOP using Iran as a boogeyman was so overblown. They can’t even keep Isreali planes out of their own skies.

    With them getting away with genocide in Gaza and what they are able to do to Iran so far if I’m the leader of any country in the Middle East I’m wondering if I’m next in their list. They know they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

    Outside of Saudi because Trump ain’t gonna let his money pipeline come under attack.

    Yea and? I’m talking about after this one. Only a fool or a bootlicker like you know who would think Israel is going to stop after Iran.
    I also said nothings going to happen with Saudi, if for no other reason than they pay Trump too much money.

    Turkey Turkiye is the regional power most opposed to Israel's territorial aspirations, since they have their own territorial aspirations. The obvious conflict point would be in Syria. Also, while I doubt Erdogan gives too many fucks about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza / West Bank, his people very much care - and there's also Jerusalem (neither Turkiye's Sunnis or their Orthodox minority are too keen on Israel's recent moves in that city)

    Israeli is merely "claiming superiority" and warning citizens:
