FWIW Iran is only responding inkind to infrastructure attacks

IE Iran only attacked Israel's refinery after Israel attacked Iran's refinery

The Israeli refinery hit supplies half of the nations fuel including air fuel

the iron dome interceptors are far less effective and completely ineffective vs hypersonic

Iran's hypersonic missiles are maneuverable which defeats any interceptor because the interception relies on a standard ballistic parabola

30% of our THAAD radars in our entire inventory destroyed

Satellite communication center destroyed

Iran has destroyed a few other THAAD radars too

WRT to Israel interceptors, apparently Iran knocked out a radar in Qatar that was critical to notifying Israel of incoming missiles. This reduces Israel's warning to about 90 seconds without the direction data necessary for local radar to lock on.

So very minimal time to react and no basic incoming data.

Keep in mind that once a ship uses it's interceptors it needs a dock/crane to reload which means they have to go days to India or DG to reload and then days back to the Theater of Operations

The US Navy cannot dock in their Gulf naval base. Iran hit it hard so we need to travel to India and/or Diego Garcia

I will say, you are missing the larger point - in war a country responds with overwhelming force in order to crush the enemy.
The ceasefire wasn't brokered until January of this year. Criticisms of actions taken after the cease fire carry legitimacy. Prior to the cease fire, far less legitimacy.

Christ you're stupid

Ask yourself why we aren't targeting Iran's desalination plant, yet

Ask yourself why killing 165 children was wrong

Hint

There are rules to war.

Israel broke them, repeatedly and intentionally

to destroy gaza so that the Palestinians couldn't live there

Like I said you're scum
Truly truly scum

#46. That's a fair point.

Thanks for admitting it, that took a long time

You're a liar jeff why would anyone believe anything you post?

70% of them voted into power the group that carried out the attack. Like I said, Hamas apologist.

47.3% of Gaza Palestinians were under the age of 18 on October 7, 2023

Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections on 25 January 2006

nearly half of the population was either unborn or under the age of 1 when Hamas was voted in

Like I said you're scum

Truly truly scum

Meanwhile our president is dancing to YMCA and screeching against a Republican congressional candidate

Oh and oil up to $100/barrel

Oh and Hegseth is firing even MORE JAG officers. Cause who wants accountability when committing massive war crimes

Apparently Israel is taking a beating. Israel has put a full media blackout on the country, but videos smuggled out are showing numerous successful hits.

Iran retaliated against Israeli's oil port at Haifa following Israel's attack that spread oil over Tehran.

Iran has supersonic missiles that interceptors can't hit.

General Caine said Iran is evolving quickly and are targeting radar and interceptor network. That would be degrading our defensive capabilities

Apparently, Iran or their Iraqi proxies shot down an American refueling plane. CENTCOM issued an obvious lie about it.

I personally, have strong suspicions about casualty reporting from our administration. If you recall, during the Iraq war, the pentagon put out daily death and wounding numbers. We are getting nothing of the sort except one report of 150 wounded soldiers. Given the rate of operations that is absurd.

Iran has successfully shut down Iraq and Oman's ports. that is really bad news as these things don't just restart quickly.

The one obvious winner in all of this is Putin's Russia with higher oil prices, lifting of sanctions and putting him in the driver seat as to providing oil to Europe.

Oh, and btw, Lebanon hasn't been getting near enough attention, 750,000 people displace hundreds dead, Israeli invasion. That alone will have world wide ramifications due to migrants fleeing the warzone.

My personal opinion is Iran is winning decisively.

Don't listen to the media or our government or most pundits who are afraid to reach that obvious conclusion for a variety of reasons.

" The genocide did not start until October 2023 or more precisely developed during the Gaza war."
Gee, I wonder what happened in October 2023 that could have resulted in military action in the region?
Twoothy, "After 10/7 Israel should have just said thank you sir, may I have another?'."

#31 | Posted by BellRinger

Did all 2 million Palestinians commit the October 7 terrorist attack?

Like I said genocide apoligist

"Steal" the West Bank? Hmmmm ... ..I wonder why they'd do that. I can't imagine any reason why they'd want a buffer zone.

Like I said, a genocide apologist

Jeff

I know you aren't this stupid.

The genocide did not start until October 2023 or more precisely developed during the Gaza war.

I realize I have said that to you several times in this thread

This is why you are considered a liar.

You are a disgusting piece of filth

Seriously, grow the ---- up

But one must always keep in mind

I'm a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Alexandrite. I easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.
#27 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-04-06 05:42 PM

so, umm yeah ---- off shitgibbon

which is accomplished through specific acts you drooling idiot

Like

Starvation
Killing
Displacement
Denial of education
Denial of medicine
Destruction of housing
Denial of clean water
Denial of basic rights

You know, Israeli policy

You really are an idiot.

They elected Hamas as their leadership and precipitated a war with Israel with the 10/7 attack which was brutally savage in its execution.
Did you approve of that attack?

#13 | Posted by BellRinger

Nope to your stupid question

Do you support the collective punishment of children?

You do understand how time works, right? 2000 happened before 2023. You understand that correct?
You do understand that the genocide did not start in 2000, it started in 2023. You understand that right?
You understand that 2023 is LATER than 2000? Right?
You do understand that the population growth rate is not the definition of a genocide right? You understand that right?
A genocide are the actions and the intent of one group over another.

Look at the intentional targeting of civilians
Look at the land theft
Look at the starvation
Look at the collective punishment
Look at the forced displacement
Look at statements from the Netanyahu government
Look at the treatment of Palestinian detainees (aka hostages)
Look at the destruction of the Gaza strip
Look at the restriction of aid and food
Genocide

In their own words.

the deputy speaker of Israel's parliament, said was the country's "one common goal" after October 7, 2023: "erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth."

Netanyahu described the operation as Israel's "concluding moves," the purpose of which was to ensure that "Gazans choose to emigrate outside the Strip."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared in early May that in six months, Gaza would cease to exist. The surviving population, he added, would be herded into a single "humanitarian zone" and"broken by despair"would depart, "understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza."
