Iran crosses old red lines and sets ‘new equation’ with attack on Israel

In the two weeks since the Damascus strike, Iran’s leaders publicly and repeatedly telegraphed that its forces would respond. The country’s supreme leader pledged that Israel would “regret” its actions.

U.S. and Israeli officials began to warn over the past several days that an attack was imminent. Iran announced on social media that the barrage had been unleashed while the drones and missiles were airborne.

Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s joint chief of staff, said the operation was “completely successful” in an interview Sunday with state-run media. Bagheri said the strikes destroyed an “intelligence center and air base”; Israel said 99 percent of drones and missiles had been intercepted, many outside Israeli territory, and there had been only minor damage to a base in the south.

Analysts said the attack was probably designed to look spectacular — a viral video showed projectiles being intercepted by Israel’s air defense system over the al-Aqsa Mosque complex in Jerusalem — while keeping death and destruction to a minimum.

Right, there's no reason to escalate against Iran when they basically told Israel what they were doing. Wag the dog stuff here.

Sleepy Don:

Former President Donald J. Trump seemed alternately irritated and exhausted Monday morning, as his lawyers and prosecutors hashed out pretrial motions before jury selection in his criminal case.

Even as a judge was hearing arguments on last-minute issues in a criminal case that centers on salacious allegations and threatens to upend his bid for the presidency, Mr. Trump appeared to nod off a few times, his mouth going slack and his head drooping onto his chest.

He is literally Sleepy Don.

I know everything is projection with these turd sandos, but Jesus tapdancing Christ that is committing to the bit.

Proxy fighting is one thing. But the Israelis bombed a diplomatic embassy two weeks ago, in a very bizarre escalation that I believe is not (substantively or legally) any different than if they had attacked Iranian soil directly.

There are no good guys involved here.

Sleepy Don:

To be fair, a pretrial-motions argument is going to be boring as heck.

[Viva la Ben]

Sleepy Don refusing to be woke.

Take my up vote

[nocera]

Sleepy Don? He looks fine.

[Gaucho]

Where did the bastard run?
Is he still around?
Now you gotta tell me everything you did baby
I'm gonna get a gun
Shoot the arsehole down
Are you gonna tell me everything you did baby?

An old crank professor I used to work with at my previous school is now retired and sits on Facebook all day long. Big trending post on FB is him complaining about protestors on the Golden Gate Bridge. Naturally, that's the leading story on FoxNews.com. CNN and MSNBC are covering Trump's trial.

Evidently, he's on the big O or something like that. Losing weight for the campaign stretch run.

Time to start imposing basic education classes on the elected

Education? Sounds woke to me.

[nocera]

Last week’s news at this point, but for some reason the right doesn’t want you to be educated.


Also, libraries have never sounded cooler.

Time to start imposing basic education classes on the elected
