    Welp. So much for world peace.

    It was kinda nice while it lasted.

      Do you come here to apologize that you were wrong when turns out this didn’t happen?

      I didn’t think so.

      EDIT:

      Iran’s state news agency reported strikes targeting “military centers in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam” had been “successfully intercepted.”

        “Apologize”? For the unforgivable crime of sharing an opinion that you don’t agree with using rhetoric? That would be a hilarious joke if it weren’t for the existence of broken little people who actually think that way.

          Every single Iranian TV station, newspaper, hospital, and school are about to get bombed.

          That’s not an opinion - it’s a cynical prediction about the future that didn’t end up coming true, yet the person pays no reputational price for being wrong.

            Yes, a “cynical prediction” is in fact a fucking opinion. Get a grip on your shit. People are allowed to be fucking mistaken without issuing you a personal apology. You are so far beyond.

        had been “successfully intercepted.”

        “Iran wasn’t successfully bombed because they had exceptional anti-air defenses” isn’t the refutation you think it is.

          I even highlighted the relevant part about targeting military centers for you.

          If they had targeted schools and hospitals you know we’d be reading about it. We aren’t.

            The part where the Iranian anti-air defense protected is territory.

            If they had targeted schools and hospitals

            But had to turn back in the face of anti-air attack

            you know we’d be reading about it.

            Israelis make a special point to suppress any news of a military embarrassment. So you won’t read how many planes they lost trying to slaughter Iranian civilians.

              Iran would be sharing pictures of Israeli plane wreckage and bombed Iranian hospitals if either existed. They don’t.
