Tehran has not been turned to glass.
Depends what conclusions the Iranians draw from learning that they can’t damage Israel, but not vice versa. There’s eve a sort of Islamic saying that fits.
If a rock strikes thy foot, alas for thy foot. But if thy foot strikes a rock, alas for thy foot.
What, did they strike whilst being “quite openly Jewish” or something?
I thought this plastic paddy with his irish passport was going to fuck off to the eu and gain a job in some third rate euro university so that he could suck on the ample teat of the eu in grants, thus not having to endure the ignominy of living in the UK with all us racists and tories etc.
What! -he couldn’t get a job in EUland despite having a brain the size of a planet with matching ego. Didn’t Johnny foreigner realise thathe’s the worlds leading expert in everything , with peerless insight to the worlds problems only matched by his modesty?
Well obviously not. and unfortunately for any students he’s got access to . At least the disintegrating snp loves him. As a bonus Humza useless is a muslim, so his rabid jew hatred of jews and the English warms the cockles of Humzas heart.
It’s dispiriting to see people of an ethnic background such as Kemi and Suella and of course Ms Birbalsingh are more English than someone born and raised in England (but also a very good sign).
It’s time the potato slung his hook and planted himself in a corner of a field that is forever not England.
The Iranian attack was a token effort, as was Israel’s response.
Honour has now been satisfied.
Tend to agree with wat dabney. Iran made its intentions quite clear in advance knowing that everyone would be ready for the mass attack it was capable of and Israel demonstrated that it could strike any target it chose in Iran.
IMHO Israel’s point was better made, its nukes will get through if Israel thinks the threat is existential.
Sounds plausible to me too, BiND.
It’ll be interesting to see if reality agrees with me.
Israel poked the wild bear with a sharp stick and were surprised when the bear struck back. Perhaps they won’t be so reckless next time.
Iran has seen that the western response was lukewarm at the best which is a win for them, so far they have concentrated on proxy attacks now they have largely gotten away with a direct attack
