Israel has launched what it called “preemptive strikes” against Iran and a state of emergency has been declared in Israel, according to the country’s Defense Minister Israel Katz. “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future” Katz said in a statement. Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported repeated explosions could be heard in Tehran.

Your driving your car in Arkansas, with $50,000 on the seat you just got selling your favorite Pokemon card, and the cop says “ your a drug runner” and just takes your money. Does that seem like a government worth supporting? Dems and Republicans have let it go on for years, because it back door funds the drug war. They don’t care if it takes you years to sue to get it back and you lose everything.

It won’t be Ukaine which has already been winding down in supplying them.

Good they did that - Still I do wonder where Iran has additional missiles etc. located especially since Syria’s new leadership is unpredictable at best.

Israel has the capability to entirely destroy the political/ideological infrastructure of the current Iranian state. They have the capability to force regime change. They have the capability to destroy the entire Iranian power grid, as well as their port facilities, and then to occupy the areas around the nuclear sites - allowing them to permanently take them out.

I’m sure other countries are working on a cheaper way to defend against drone/missile attacks. The patriot system is extremely expensive and the missiles are expensive to replace and with the production of hypersonic missiles are becoming increasing obsolete. Second countries are discovering the American Weapons are under the control of the Americans, even after the sale and thus the Defense Contractors may not be getting that war time bounce they were hoping for.

Nice seeing you up this late hour following updates McGruff.

Not sure what Syria and Hezbollah can do or their capability they might have left since Iran has always used them against Israel.

That story gets worse. Since they could take your $50,000, they decided, “why not take our show international and take the money Russia had deposited in western banks.”.

I would have guessed more pizza with more personnel and visitors from out of town to celebrate the big military parade in downtown DC in honor of President Trump’s 79th birthday and a 250th anniversary for our military. I wonder if the millions spent to make this happen are one of Musk’s complaints with Trump? But a big Israeli attack on Iran certainly makes a lot of sense too.

It should certainly be helpful to Ukraine to have Iran focusing on defending from Israel.

As you have found, most of Israel’s missiles are designed in collaboration with Raytheon. Still, Israel’s defense industries are first rate. Raytheon probably gets as much as it gives in their relationship.

It certainly makes sense to declare a national alert with an attack on Iran. Other Islamic entities will also be likely to take advantage of the situation for their own purposes or for support of Iran. Since there is a definite split between Shia and Sunna Islam, many motives or expectations can be expected from others.

I wonder how much weaponry Iran would have sent to Russia for their Ukraine war will now be used for a reaction to Israel? If Israel’s Iron Dome can destroy these weapons before they strike, then Israel’s attack on Iran will prove to be a big plus toward eventual resolution for a free Ukraine.

Wow on your story

(Consider the story of Peter, he was stoned to death, but didn’t suffer or feel a thing. All he saw was God with him)

Did you mean Stephen, whose clothes were laid at the feet of Saul? (Who would become the Apostle Paul)

God bless 🙏🛐🛐🛐🙏✝️✝️✝️

First verse:

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
Bomb Iran
Let’s take a stand
Bomb Iran
Our country’s got a feelin’
Really hit the ceilin’, bomb Iran
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

Acts 7:54-60
Evangelical Heritage Version

The Stoning of Stephen

54 When they heard these things, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.

55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into Heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the Right Hand of God.

56 He said, “Look, I see Heaven opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57 But they screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and rushed at him with one purpose in mind.

58 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses laid their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 While they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

60 Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” After he said this, he fell asleep.
