    My read of Israel is that if they feel abandoned by the US administration, they will go big - nuclear research hub, drone factory, etc.
    Biden's handlers will support them while lying to a cooperative press to mollify their anti-Israel voters.

    I would like to think so as well but with Biden playing his coward side this may not be in the cards for now

    We already know their statement will condemn Iran in the strongest terms and say that Israel has the right to defend itself and call for a de-escalation of tensions by all parties involved.
    Why bother, it's just useless optics.

    Up until a few days ago, your cult was saying that Biden was a vicious warmonger. Y'all need to settle on a single butthurt talking point.

    The whole planet just saw the USA basically laugh off an Iranian assault. The US looks very, very good now.

    The US is seen as being so powerful, they can pretty much ignore the Iranian fleas.

    The US is seen as being calm and rational.

    That enrages the BDS crowd. Anytime the USA looks good, they get upset.

    My read is that Israel got the message and Iran's real nemesis and problem is going to be neocons and the pro Israel lobby in the US.

    Trump is the weak coward who gives 2 shits on what could be the fall-out of an all out war in the region and with America involved to boot, while Trump and Bibi's sons/daughters live the protected life of luxury.

    The bigger problem is these attacks are costing Iran nothing. When Iran has nukes will they do their duty to Allah?

    Yes, that must be why he was the only one to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital and declared the embassy move there. It’s also why Biden and Obama allowed Syria to gas their citizens until Trump put a stop to it. Yes, that region must scare Trump to death :blahblah:

    If Israel has been paying attention they may have noticed that this Administration doesn't always meet it's commitments to allis.

    Iran doesn't have nukes because it doesn't want those sick enough to use them the excuse. But Iran is able to get nukes on short notice if it becomes necessary to fend off nuclear threats or attacks.

    Actually my cult if I had one has given Biden some recognition in Ukraine but I believe he is too weak there as well. That’s another topic though so I’ll ignore the why’s. On this situation he is definitely too weak as well. They literally had a 9-11 type casualty and this administration and the democrat party is actually giving pro Hamas supporters an ear. It’s amazingly cowardice

    What commitment? To march into war on Israel's whim and command? The US and its 'partners', the UK and France, took out nearly 100 drones and cruise missiles fired at Israel, having jets in the sky continuously being refueled to establish (along with naval assets) the first line of defense for Israel. The whole operation just last night cost the US nearly $1 Billion. Even ungrateful Israel understood how much worse things would be without that assistance.

    OK, now that the this big 'Iran versus Israel' episode is over, it's safe to conclude that what Iran decided to do was simply have a face-saving launch involving some older ordnance they were probably overstocked with.

    The Israelis have bragged that they shot down 99% of the ~300 missiles and drones that Iran sent against them -- and -- that not one single one of these drones or missiles even made it to Israeli territory!

    It is apparent that Iran did not (NOT) use any of their hypersonic missiles, and that would have been a front-and-center consideration if the Iranians had been serious about 'punishing' Israel at all. So, this was a more like a Iranian-sponsored "skeet-shoot", and afterwards everybody just 'calls it a day'....

    Biden also said if he gave Ukraine F16s it would start WW3. Guess what, he did.

    The world was more peaceful under the Trump administration. That is an undisputed fact. To deny it is only gaslighting.

    Not entirely.
    Iran used a dozen hypersonic Kheibar Shekan missiles with separable warheads and 11 of 12 hit their targets. 5 hit Israel's Ramon air base.

    Another Israeli air base was also hit but since (unlike Ramon) Nevatim suffered modest damage, the IDF confirmed that strike as a deflection from hits against Ramon, an Israeli base in Arad and another in the Golan.
    You can also look at the video from the Guardian, although the video often zooms out right before missile impact due to Israeli censorship.

    If what you say is true (and you do have a reputation for being factual, IMHO), then Israel has lied about none of the missiles or drones making it to Israeli territory. This would not be overly shocking -- but what does surprise me is that evidently those hypersonic missiles were not more effective in their destruction. Or were they?

    In 1918, US Senator Hiram Warren Johnson is purported to have said: The first casualty when war comes is truth. It should surprise no one that this could be true today, no matter what the source of the latest news is....

    We've already told them we won't be part of it.

    The first casualty of war is the truth. But even Israel didn't go as far as you mention. They underreported the number of missiles that impacted but admitted to 7-8 getting through. They specifically admitted to the Nevatim airbase being hit but claimed it suffered minor damage. The bases that were more seriously damaged were not reported by Israel. But it is also true the drones and cruise missiles and some older ballistic missiles were successfully intercepted. The casualties won't be significant as the targets were physical military infrastructure and the Israelis had advanced notice and in bunkers and shelters.

    Trump is weak? Do you remember this?

    Now compare Trump's actions to Biden's. Biden thinks he can buy Iranian friendship just like he can buy votes and they're playing him for a fool.

    Well, whatever they said seems to have worked because Israel decided to not take revenge. It sounds like you not only wanted Israel to go into war, but also see US take part in it. Why?

    I know. But Israel is working on its own agenda and with "friends" like you, is hopeful of getting the US eventually to follow its lead.
    Do you realize Iran ignored Trump's threat and hit a US base anyway?
