    And since they have had significantly less oversight on that program for the last seven years, thanks to - checks notes- DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, I would be absolutely gobsmacked if the weeks it would take weapons development from the "within weeks" estimate, had not already transpired fucking years ago.

    Driving the news: Sirens sounded across Israel on Thursday night. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency across the entire country.

    "Following the State of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future," Katz said.

    Who would have guessed Israel would surprise attack another country and then immediately play the victim...

    I will be draft dodging. I'm not going to fight in the next war on peace.

    I'll be here at home. Fucking military wives.

    I don't know what will happen but if the US had fullthroatedly supported this I think we might have locked in WW3 like fuckkk "dodged a bullet" is the wrong phrase, more like adjacent timeline vertigo?

    edit can we get independent verification of this? As of yet I can't find any other news websites saying this.

    edit 2 thank you for links!

    Idk, the US full throated supporting Israel is fighting against the innate urge for trump to rat fuck any ally possible.....

    Tbh it seems like a 50/50, based on the article the administration seems to be trying to distance themselves from the event. Pulling personnel out of Iraq and warning allies of the attack may be good news. Hopefully we may have just witnessed Bibi overstepping the line for the last time?

    Is this in whole or part because Iran was threatening to leak secrets? If in part, is that just the pretext to doing it, anyway? Are Bibi troubles at home secondary to "I just wanted to do this?”

    I don't know, its just things keep happening that seem very scary, kind of rushed and strangely not synchronized with a wave of similar acts in a way I would expect from a coup in the US and Israel drawing the US into a regional war.

    It seems like a hail mary, not a confident move by Netanyahu.

    Yes please Israel, start some more wars, keep extending yourself, especially against better equipped adversaries

    That’s why US troops were getting out of the way, makes sense now.

    Israel is taking advantage of how inept the current administration is. This is like poking a beehive with a stick and saying "do something". Something will happen, it's going to be a complete shitshow, but Israel will benefit from it in some way because they started this shit show. Next step for Israel is to sit back and watch Trump end the shit show while everyone else gets stung by all the bees.
