Nothing could be more harmful for our economic future than for Putin and his evil allies like Iran to succeed in establishing themselves as dominant powers.

Trump knows that even if there are no shortage of fools populating this site that actually fell for the false Hillary Clinton narrative that Trump is a Russian agent and think they should be Russian agents, too. Either they believe Hillary’s nonsense or they think we do, too, otherwise why do they keep promoting the idea that he is?

Two things happen by prolonging the war: More beachfront houses for Ukrainian officials, and more young male corpses. Russia has 100 million more people. Ukraine cannot win.
I truly appreciate your kind response. I wish I could agree with you.

What a fool. Quite making such a big deal of it and most won’t notice your stupidity.

Antisemitism, mullah-worshipping BS artist - did I leave anything out, imbecile?

If nothing else, you provide a good laugh. Although, my mother would be upset at my making fun of brain dead putzes, bless its heart.

If you had a mother, then I bless her name. Damn shame how you turned out, though.

Do you have any idea what a hypersonic missile actually is?

According to you guys, Ukraine should have lost two years ago. They're still fighting. And Israel just plopped some missiles deep inside Iran as a demo and Israeli jets regularly hit Damascus without being shot down.

You don't need to check a narrative, you need to check reality.

I certainly won’t waste my time on narratives you attempt to create for me. You even bastardize the DC narratives they’ve made up for you that you’ve been following.

Do you ever actually read the articles you post, or do you just demand everyone agree with your knee-jerk reactions to the headlines and lead ins? The WSJ admitted all the drones and missiles were shot down. Of the 120 ballistic missiles launched, 111 were shot down.

The ones that hit Nevatim airbase were on the edge of the Arrow defense zone. According to satellite photos examined by AP, and from the IDF release a video of the damage, a taxiway, road outside the base, and a wall of a building were damaged.

After Iran gave Israel its best shot, the IDF needs some roadwork, a bulldozer, and contractor to fix a wall.

I guess an air defense effort surpassing the Marianas Turkey Shoot, or that for the first time in history Saudi Arabia and Jordan joined the US and UK defending Israel is not a big deal. Additionally, there is a lack of anti-Israel protests and pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel violence outside of Israel reported in the Middle East, no retaliatory attacks of any kind.

Read between the lines of what is and isn't said. The majority of the Middle East is telling Iran who's side they are on, and they are not siding with Tehran.

Geesh, if you think I’m going waste my time suffering that much more of your mindless prattle, you are sadly mistaken. Next time, cut your media addled BS back by 75% and I’ll take the time to destroy it for you.

Once again with the “hypersonics”: the Iranians don’t have anything hypersonic and your weird fever dreams of a ravaged Israel mark you as a small-minded bigot with delusions of adequacy.

The Shahab-3 has a max speed around M7. Several of their missile (supposedly) reach M5. That's hypersonic.

Apparently, neither one of you know what a hypersonic missile is: it is not a ballistic missile, it is a slant range Mach 5 plus system that operates in the atmosphere. That is why it is still an emerging technology and only Russia has employed them in combat (against civilian, unwarned population centers, as the sporting Russians are well known for) - so far,

The Shahab-3 is a Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM), not a "hypersonic missile".

You two need to sign up, put the uniform on and learn first-hand all about military technologies - before opening your mouths and spouting nonsense.

My how the narrative has changed. Initially reported that the attack by Iran was a major fail. 99% of the missiles were intercepted.

Everything produced by Washington passes through multiple political filters before it becomes public. If there is little or no pushback on it, then it’s left alone. If the story starts to breakdown and the lying and obfuscation become more and more apparent, the narrative then begins to change in increments until it goes away. The grossest lies and distortions are passed through with little or no accountability for those responsible for producing them, or reporting on them.
