FWIW, I seriously doubt Netanyahu is running this 💩 show.

Taking out the heads of the Iran Revolutionary Guard-who actually run the country-is a very good thing! The IDF so far is doing a pin-point attack.
If the big guy stands around and does nothing while his friends are attacked, he will be attacked eventually also.
I always thought about getting a really mean German Shepherd or a rotweiler and training him to attack when I shout “heel” or “back.” Surprise!
