Quote HistoryQuoted: Why would anyone want war? I believe Israel should protect itself either reactively or proactively but I don't believe that the US should we in the middle of this. The Middle East needs us more than we need them. I don't want my son fighting in Iran. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Westerners don't have the stomach for total war anymore. This has been true for many of the conflicts/wars that the US has gotten tangled up in. Vietnam onward. Too many little shit countries eating up our people and resources for debatable returns when we get involved. If American people or assets are targeted then fine. Follow General Sherman's lead. Otherwise I'd think long and hard about getting involved. Old George Washington was right. Beware of foreign entanglements. That being said, I do support Israel and wish them victory. |

Iran backing down is the smart move....they will either choose to not respond to the latest round (or publicly deny any response that actually happens) and then when Israel makes its next strike, the western media vilifies Israel for striking a party that had already conceded. At that point, all eyes get focused on the US to see who we back. Biden has no choice at that point but to back Iran and condemn Israel.
None of this will surprise me. |

One of the talking heads I listened to yesterday said, before the retaliation attacks, that someone at the White House leaked that if Israel keeps their attacks at a very small scale they'll not push back against them invading Rafah. In that context in makes a lot more sense.

NO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SEEN AT ISFAHAN AIR BASE IN SATELLITE IMAGES: CNN There does not appear to be any extensive damage at an air base purportedly targeted by an Israeli military strike, according to exclusive satellite images obtained by CNN from Umbra Space. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images were taken around 10:18 a.m. local time. There does not appear to be any large craters in the ground and there are no apparent destroyed buildings. Additional visual satellite imagery will be needed to check for burn scars – which cannot be seen by SAR images -- around the complex. |

If they were targeting air defense systems, they would have likely used air burst frag warheads that don't leave craters. Even the radars themselves might look normal from sat images, but up close they would be full of small holes. |

Israel basically put Iran in their place. Iran is backing off. Israel basically showed the world they are beholden to no one, and can destroy Irans infrastructure with minimal effort. Iran talked a big talk, launched a huge barrage of weapons, made little impact. Sort of like poking the bear. Fortunately, Israel just basically put them in their place, gave them a little spanking, and made it very clear that Iran better be careful, as Israel could have just as easily destroyed their entire nuclear program and military infrastructure…. Restraint, not sure many could do that.

They threw about 40 missiles in the mix and those were the targeting weapon. The drones were never intended to have any mass destructive effect - they were largely decoys and sent to saturate the air defenses while massively drawing down their missile caches. The drones Iran uses are cheap, easy, and fast to make - the Iron Dome guided interceptor missiles are not. That said, don’t be lulled into thinking Iran does not have the capability to strike Israel’s nuclear plant. |

But Iran has made substantial capital investment in inexpensive medium range one-way drones and has built up a rather stout stockpile. Notwithstanding their export sales to Russia. Israel to date has not. They followed the true UAV strike package philosophy of use, much like the US. |

When it turns into an actual gloves off throw down, they are really only just terror weapons that Israel will just ignore for any target beyond military locations. They said as much during the lead up to the Iranian attack. The Israelis were making jokes about having a six hour lead time. They are a very hardened citizenry (both physically and mentally). Beyond that, the world hasn’t been sitting still with defense options and tactics. |

If Iran had an advantage think they would back off? They are just buying time to up their game. When that happens (whether through Axis support or with Nuclear capabilities) they will come back and finish the job. If israel is done, they are foolish for not sending Irans nuclear program back to the stone age. It will only be harder to do that later

It will only be harder to do that later I once worked with a guy who saw himself as a foreign policy expert. Trying to sound smart, he once said, "I think the Arab world could beat Israel right now", to which I reply, "apparently they don't agree", "why do you say that", "because as soon as they think they can, war will break out". That which seems to be obvious to some of us, escapes the intelligent wannabees. No doubt Iran doesn't think they have the advantage right now. |

I wonder though, given the very low speeds involved, if an older cheaper technology could be used against them instead of these expensive missiles. Something like the electronic warfare anti-drone tech that could be easier to employ. Also something like the phalanx system could be perimeter based creating overlapping fields of fire. Cheaper than missiles and saves the heavy and expensive stuff for the more advanced weapons. My dad was an AA gunner in the 5th Army. He could (and did) shoot down faster planes than the Iranian drones. |
