Dumb assessment. You have no idea what their targets were or what constraints the launchers were under.
I say again, a thug just tried to shoot you and your family but missed. He is still standing in front of you threatening to shoot again. Are you going to shoot the thug and save your family, or say “no harm, no foul”? You shoot the bastard unless youre a non-caring pussy.
They do not try intercept unless they think it will hit something important. Most of the missiles must have hit nothing important.
It looks like they launched some off-target missiles just before their funeral for general street-pizza to try to save face, while being terrified they might kill an American.
They’re all whacking themselves in the head. He looked like Curly of The Three Stooges whacking his face, whenever he did his “Moe, Larry, Cheese” routine. Then the other guys start whacking themselves in the head. Reminds me of how people try to pat themselves on top of their head, and rub their tummies at the same time.
May well be...things seem quite in control, considering what’s going on. One other theory is that we somehow jammed their missiles...if so, Trump would know that and we’ll likely see some serious retaliation.
But your theory seems to make more sense, so far.
I just had a flasback of Zell Miller and Hardboiled Chris Matthews.
I watched a video on Twitter where some missiles were supposedly taken out by US forces.
“Retaliation”
The strike on the Iranian military leader WAS retaliation on previous attacks HE’D conducted.
Everyone acts like the war started this weekend.
Just as Zimmerman was told he just should’ve accepted his beatdown in Florida.
I do not think FR is Best Fit for you.
Is this another ROLCON attempt by yourself?
“...reminded me of Curly in the “The Three Stooges”.
LOL!! I said the same thing before I’d even seen your comment. It’s down a ways from yours.
Wrong analogy. A thug just missed on purpose, clearly demonstrating that he's too afraid of you to shoot you for real. And if you shoot the thug you are going to be tied up in court for years and pay lawyers lots of money.
You mean Camel Spiders.
No, he was incompetent, and your are incompetent and deserve to be shot if you don’t kill him first.
Opinions are like a-holes everybody has one.
I petitioned the owner, i didn’t realize i needed your permission, Sparky.
Is there some issue that has your panties in a bunch. Or you just the gatekeeper?
LOTS of neo-CON love on this thread.
Sad...very sad.
Populations whose nations are under attack rally around their leaders. Always.
until they are dead. Hitler, Saddam, for starters,
Saw it - glad to know I wasn’t the only one whose mind jumps from international crisis to slapstick silliness!
Straight out of SHAREBLUE.
If you petitioned JR, did you include a check?
It would have to be a BIG rod. The ones postulated in the 2003 Air Force study were 1 ft. diameter x 20 ft. long, impacting at Mach 10, and delivering about 11.5 tons of TNT. A magnitude 5 earthquake would be around 200 tons of TNT.
