Europa marches east.
Iran is apparently sending "dozens" of attack drones at Israel which will take hours to get there. In a world of instantaneous communication, this seems...slow.
Huge W for Russia and China tonight.
Edit: In happier news tonight’s attack hasn’t stopped Biden’s fundraising emails.
Maybe Israel shouldn't have bombed their consulate?
Just a thought.
Please do not quote the derp.
“Yet it was an operation that seemed designed to fail — when Iran launched its killer drones from its own territory some 1,000 miles away, it was giving Israel hours of advance notice.”
People need to read between the lines over what Iran did. They had to do something to save face and send some kind of message. But they didn't want to do too much and face a catastrophic counterattack by Israel that they would not be able to fend off. And Israel's allies will be able to send that message to Israel that there's no need to escalate this, as both sides got what they wanted out of their two respective attacks.
That's a very interesting way of thinking about it.
And typically it would work, but unfortunately Bibi is a cynical criminal murdering innocent people to escape prison.
Yes, there is that. Hopefully his allies will finally get through to him … at least this time.
