the production value on this video sir
Accurate!!!!!!!
Given the general military knowledge of the area in the world, it is bizarre to think that Iran would not be aware of the Iron Dome and the other assets that would be in use to intercept their attack objects and were willing to live with having them mostly eliminated
My first thought upon hearing of Iran's attack was are they testing how many nukes they would need for one to make it through?
@@jeffreyscott4997I agree. Iran’s action was a probe. An intelligence gathering operation.
Yes, it was a posturing move not an actual attack. And Israel responded well, by showing how deply it can strike without hundreds of missiles.
I mean it's still an attack lol
@@jesuschristsupersta1 If a child came at you with a sword with a flexible, blunt polyethylene blade, would that be an attack? Barring some really unlikely event(s), the outcome was a foregone conclusion, easily predictable by anyone with a moiety of their marbles for several reasons. Yet Iran blew through a considerable amount of assets. Were they expecting Allah to make it work by some kind of magic or are they just plain NTFB (Not Too Friggin' Bright)? And I've been hearing for the last decade and a half that they are 'months away" from getting a nuke. And it's been a helluva lot of months. When I am told that now, what I hear i "Wolf! Wolf!", yet not so much as a nanothing of lupinicity do I see, hear, smell or otherwise detect
The most important question in assessing Israel’s response is: was Israel given warnings of attack by Iran so they could be prepared to counter the attack? What was the REAL reason Iran launched the attacks? This matters because it justifies Israel’s response. America knew ahead of time of the pending attack. Hell, I did. So if Iran really wanted mass casualties, why would they warn Turkey, US, or Egypt?
This line of thinking is incorrect, when the U.S. test missile defense against ballistic missiles the success rate is about 50%.
These are conducted in ideal conditions and obviously they know a missile is to be launched, hence it is a test.
The Iranians launched a sophisticated attack with cruise missiles drones, and over 100 ballistic missiles.
When Russia invaded Ukraine the U.S. was able to accurately predict when and with what the Russians would do when the attack began. Although the Americans predicted that Ukraine would fall quickly it does not diminish the level of intelligence.
If I knew what pitch a major-league baseball player with throw, it wouldn’t make much difference if they telegraph it before hand. It can be safely assumed that the Iranians believed that more of the ballistic missiles would hit their targets.
I don’t know the motivations of the Iranians to alert Turkey or the Americans of their imminent attack, or even if the warning occurred. It could have be to deceive Israeli allies of the intensity of the attack, or in my opinion, they believed that Israel or the Americans would have their own intelligence by issuing the warning it’s plausible deniability.
Even Israel's allies aren't supporting them. They're in a very unenviable position. Thank you. I agree. I want to see this shut down now. Words won't do it.
What do you mean with Putin???
He means that Putin is an authoritarian gang king pin, not to mention a war criminal.
Supporting Putin is as foolish and suicidal as supporting Hamas and for the same reasons
100%; could not agree more. I am ashamed of the U.S. Am Yisrael Chai.
Chat engagement
absolutely correct analysis. too bad very few people realize that.
Hey, Mike: which jungle do you come from? You need to go back there and stfu.
Israel didn't retaliate. Israel wanted to send Iran a message: we can get you even in a very remote area.
Retaliation is not the language of Israel!
But ,yes! Be careful! There are circumstances if you start with me! I'm not weak as you think!
Don't!
Actually it is deterrence
I totally agree, but I would also emphasize how the lose of respect & credibility goes hand in hand with the inability to Garner consensus.
By not responding in the 80s over American hostages we missed a window .
Same for isreal as now the american computational infrastructure can not be allowed to piggyback existing 1900s structuralism that still defines us today.
If not for a jacksonian era of building out America with assimilating likeminded word & context it never would've or could've been a ww1 & 2 consensus to temporarly waive mastership grant academics to merge & unify top down pushing complexity down upon the many for entropic cannon fodder turnover of 18 -21 year Olds or all Ben Franklin systems.
We have never restored our objective values or proper orientation and direction.
Not to mix the good with the bad and repeat the same mistakes made. But to just say this is really bad timing for war everyone burnt their chances up on introventiomism & proxy wars.
Abounding strong embassies building underground railroads saving one soul at a time inside out bottom long term covert change is what Iran did in gaza textbook curriculum paid for by Europe ensuring this was a time bomb .
We've had success with it ands all we really can do until we find our way.
China plays good guy building other nations infrastructural utility and we are left creating vendetta abroad and sef sacrificed our own core soul for so long that our leadership and ruling class have little to no local respect of trust.
"Unprecedented" is a misnomer. The precedent was set with a direct attack and murder of an Iranian high command general. "Unexpected" is more accurate but not wholly so. To put it in terms that make sense, the attacks should be named for what they were/are, namely, -eventual- or -by and by- or -in the fullness of time-.
Interesting... Nothing about how Iran became such a militant state. Did that happen organically, or in response to outside forces an their incompetent meddling?
If you bomb a nation's diplomatic compound, you bombed their nation, and they have every right to retaliate. It was not proportional, but Israel doesn't seem to concern itself about proportionality.
viva Iran !
Bullshit. Pure bullshit.
Totally on the nail, dude.
You raise several good points, each supported by convincing examples and evidence. Thanks for elevating the discussion.
@@Riskmangler My points can be found if you just look for them. There's only 30 comments. In what way have you elevated the discussion?
@@nickfish8345 I wasn't referring to your comment, however brief and bereft of substance it was. I was referring to guy whose butt you were servicing.
Wow. My post was removed. Don't know if it was the censors of YT or this channel, but considering there was no foul language, no angry rants, no wild accusations, nothing that could be construed as hostile, it makes you wonder. I was critical of the video and I used the J-word so that's probably it. So much for free speech - especially if you use the J-word.
Thanks!
