It’s sad . Our troops don’t need another winless war.

It seems to be a already a missile battle at the moment... I fear it will escalate with more missiles rather than stop.... hopefully some one can step in and cool things down.

Not likely to end in a boots on the ground war. Iran is too large and like Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, impossible to secure. I suspect they will keep exchanging "pleasantries" until someone has had enough. Iran has far more to lose, at least in the short term, like their refining capacity. We live in interesting times...

Went to the gas station as soon as I saw the news.

 

Edit: As a former service member and Iraq war veteran, my thoughts are first and foremost with our Frontline coalition solders, Marines, airmen and sailors. Not on my fuel bill.

But it sure might suck.

Nobody can say what's likely or unlikely these days.  Not even worth trying to guess, just assume that somebody will suffer somewhere.

For me this pretty much sums it up ...

2003 is back! :(

Or what is more likely is that Iran did its token response and will milk the propaganda for what it is worth.

I am unsure why world organizations have come up with so many rules to make war better. War is ugly and that's just how it is. It's like fighting hand to hand to me. If we fight, you better be prepared, because there are no rules!

I suspect the Iranians aren't really totally done, but from here on out will try to have plausible deniability on whatever they dish out next. Part of the problem is that much of the West and America for sure has about a 30 minute memory. These countries in the Middle East are still pissed about stuff that happened 600+ years ago!

Now what were you just saying...? ?

It is quite odd how it's all just been downplayed. "No casualties, Iran is standing down".

 

Back to consuming and watching YouTube influencers.

 

If I didn't know better I'd think the whole thing is rigged. Guess I'll go put my aluminum foil helmet on.

All international conflicts should blow over so easily.  We vaporize your General, you shoot off a few rockets that are beyond their "Best If Used By" date and both side declare themselves winners.
