    Fucking middle East. Fucking Russia. Couldn’t resist lighting some fuses because they saw other fuses being lit.

    Thank you China (so far) for not further escalating.

    With a climate conscious president taking over Mexico I’m equally worried about the u s. Doing something stupid.

      China is escalating in their own way, what with the recent article about censoring satellite communication traffic

        China also escalates through funding of regimes. Without China stabilizing Russia’s economy (and a little help from India), Russia might have collapsed under sanctions by now.

      Most people in the Middle East want to life in peace. It is the geopolitical powers and settler colonialists that wont let them.

      From watching the videos, it looks like a ton of low-level missile intercepts. The rocket motors are still active, which isn’t what you see for ballistic missiles in their terminal phase.

      Probably will be lots of damage due to debris though.

        You sure? There’s videos all over the combat footage subreddit showcasing numerous missiles/rockets making contact with the ground.

          On further thought the glow could be from reentry and not from burning rocket motors. So, no I’m not sure.

          Currently waiting to see the level of damage and more detailed reports.

    Hagari added that the Israeli military is “fully prepared to defend and retaliate” to the Iranian attack, stressing that it would be in a “timely manner.”

    Plus, the US was talking about a response to any direct Iranian attack on Israel.

    The IRGC also warned Israel that any response to the attack regime would be met by more severe Iranian retaliation.

    Sounds like we’re liable to have a busy time as posting activity goes on worldnews.
