I'm stocking up on potato chips and soda .... I really don't care what anyone does any more, I'm just gonna watch the end of the world from my front deck until someone murders me in the food riots.

Those crisps you have there... I want them!
As long as your desk is far away enough from any conflict to where it doesn't worry you. Unfortunately I'm much closer and may not get to watch for as long as you
At least you have better seats
This really is gonna escalate into an all-out proxy war between Iran and the US isn't it?
The APs reporting seems to indicate "probably not" - both Israel and Iran are refusing to comment or acknowledge the strike, which gives both sides a way to step back without having to lose face. If Iran or Israel were intending to escalate, they'd be shouting from the rooftops about "see! Look what happened!".
Still pretty scary though, wouldn't take much for a miscommunication or misunderstanding for this to rapidly escalate even if no one wants it to.
I think it was a smart move on Israel's part though. No damage but a very clear message and too embarassing for Iran to talk about.
It's akin to Khamenei waking up with a dick drawn on his face
Only if the stupid fuck in chief keeps backing Israel instead of letting them feel the consequences of their own actions
Where did those missiles/drones fly? Over same countries as Iranian ones? If so how many were shot down by middle countries? I bet none, because these were "good" ones m
I'm reading it was probably a (very) small number of drones launched from within Iran
Most of the countries in the area do not hold Israel in high regard, I'm pretty sure the only ones who think israel is one of the "good ones" are the Western countries who have assets in the area.
Perhaps, but when threats, interests and money are talking it might be different. Looking forward to info about it.
Fuck Putin and fuck Netanyahu
Aren't you forgetting someone?
There are always a lot of people to fuck. But these two are dragging their population to unnecessary war.
Fuck each and every warmonger there is on Earth. No exceptions.
Problem of fucks solved.
Xi? Only if he chooses to attack Taiwan, it seems.
No Biden. Dude refuses to tighten the leash on Israel.
It could be included with "fuck Netanyahu" couldn't it? Because that's what would fuck him the most.
