The United States shot down more drones and missiles than Israel did on Saturday night during Iran’s attack, The Intercept can report. More than half of Iran’s weapons were destroyed by U.S. aircraft and missiles before they ever reached Israel. In fact, by commanding a multinational air defense operation and scrambling American fighter jets, this was a U.S. military triumph. The extent of the U.S. military operation is unbeknownst to the American public, but the Pentagon coordinated a multination, regionwide defense extending from northern Iraq to the southern Persian Gulf on Saturday. During the operation, the U.S., U.K., France, and Jordan all shot down the majority of Iranian drones and missiles. In fact, where U.S. aircraft originated from has not been officially announced, an omission that has been repeated by the mainstream media. Additionally, the role of Saudi Arabia is unclear, both as a base for the United States and in terms of any actions by the Saudi military.

Word is the cost of shooting them down that night far, far exceeded the cost to Iran for all missiles and drones launched.
18th Dimensional Chess, man... "DESTABILIZED" in that first verse. Whatever. My biggest fear about dating Dr. Kimmy and her clot-shots... Melissa died in her back yard. Aleena died in her sleep in Lithuania when I finally got her home. I don't know exactly how or when Cari died. That is unfortunate if Iran continues their Muslim kook policies like firing missiles into Israel. What do you think will happen. Do you think Israel will just absorb that cost? Or do you think Israel will say we have to nuke Iran. Or Syria. There is this prophecy in the Bible. The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
"Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself," Netanyahu said in a statement.
A very notable weakpoint is US military capability is the grossly overpriced nature of all the modern military hardware. This is due to there being no capitalist market controls on prices. The only buyers are the US government which has no motive to demand lower costs. Congress pays for this with borrowed money, and those in congress are bribed into approving it by both lobbyists and with jobs in their respective districts. So there are zero price controls on military spending. And when that goes on for decades, as it has, prices just get to be insane, and it's to the point of being a national security matter because the high prices means the military can't buy as much as what it would ideally have. And further, it means that in conflict situations, the Pentagon will be reluctant to use such hardware or send it into harms way, like take the risk of flying an F-35 into hostile airspace over Iran, China or even NK. Israel should have known better than to target an Iranian consulate. And it's still curiosu that Mossad knew when and where this meeting was taking place in Damascus, but didn't have a clue what many hundreds of Hamas militants were planning on Oct 7, especially given Egypt personally warned Netanyahu 9 days prior. Hint: I think the Israel gov WANTED it to happen and purposely allowed it to happen to garner international political support for a Gaza invasion.
Israel will do whatever it needs to to promote it's political agenda.
Exactly I think it goes beyond them wanting it to happen, I think they at least ALLOWED it to happen, if not outright involved in MAKING it happen. Good. It is the governments job to protect their people. They have been to soft on the people in Gaza.
That is silly propaganda.
You are not a making sense again.
That was smart. Hit the nazis wherever they are. Remember the truth. Iran has been funding firing rockets in to Israel for decades.
As postulated with 911. But if it was that, the BEST way to do it would be to covertly plant the seeds of the idea into some Afghan patsys and entice them into planning the operation and recruit even bigger patsys (the 20 hijackers) into doing the deed. The CIA then gently nudges the operation along, encouraging their coming to the USA, covertly facilitating entry and flight schooling, dry runs and the works. Yes put some thermite in the WTC towers, but let the patsies do their thing. Make the WTC towers collapse and then you have a VERY credible paper trail pointing to OBL and the hijackers themselves. It's far safer that way than having the CIA / NSA do all the work themselves. Evidence of the hijackers entering the USA, communications & planning by OBL is all right there and is real but with no CIA fingerprints attached, or at least little enough to debunk as "conspiracy theories". If I was working with the CIA and was tasked with coming up with a plan to get the American public behind huge mid-east invasions, that's what I would have come up with. Trick the jihadists into working for you while they think they are working for Allah and OBL. It's all wrapped up in a nice, neat little package. There could be a few loose ends that need to be cleaned up in case things don't quite go according to plan, like WTC tower #7.
Remember the truth. Iran has been funding firing rockets in to Israel for decades. The war has been 2-way. Israel has assassinated Iranian scientists, one time forging Irish passports to get their people into the country. Yes, I know that Israel has a right to commit terrorism and Iran doesn't but.... Iran sees it differently.
How do you explain Mossad being taken completely by surprise on Oct 7, but knew all the details sufficient to strike in Damascus? Especially when Netanyahu was told more than a week in advance of Oct 7, at least by Egypt, and by other sources. You call it propaganda. I call it unexplained, apart from creating political support for a Gaza invasion. You assume people in power are good when power itself corrupts people. Means, motive and opportunity are all present for Oct 7 to be allowed to happen by the Israeli gov.
That is what happens when Iran threatens to destroy Israel for decades. Self defense is not terrorism. Israel gave up land to terrorists and they didn't keep their word.
Probably because it was a secret operation. Everything isn't a conspiracy.

Myself I don't think those planes were actually hijacked by the alleged hijackers (many of whom were still alive after 9/11 and have appeared on Arabic TV stations saying it wasn't them). The 19 hijackers are just the "legend" they created to achieve their goals and provide a plausible cover story. I think the planes were taken over by remote control and switched in mid-air with other aircraft when they passed through blind spots in the radar coverage. The planes they were switched with were explosive laden aircraft equipped to do the dirty work. Flight 77 was switched at the last minute with a Global Hawk or other type drone, as it's apparent that an airliner didn't hit the Pentagon. Flight 93 landed at Wright Patterson AFB according to several reports at the time. It seems that information has been thoroughly scrubbed from the Internet however. Are you insane?
