WELL THE STINKY STUFF JUST HIT THE AIR CIRCULATION DEVICE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

I am specifically concerned about our troops at al Asad, Iraq, Union III, Baghdad, and Nineweh Province, Iraq, and at US Embassy, Baghdad. All are within easy mortar, 107 & 240mm rocket, and complex attack range of Iranian proxies (Privately Mobilized Forces or PMFs, armed and well-trained since 2014) and within easy range of small ballistic missiles.

Especially since Iranian C&C is badly disrupted. It doesn't take too much deductive reasoning to realize that even a proxy attack on US forces would likely trigger US involvement towards Iran itself which would be a problem the Iranians do not need at this point, but deductive reasoning isn't high on the list of prerequisites to become a fanatic militant in a regional Iranian proxy.

Looks like Ali Kookameme borrowed from the Russian playbook by bombing an Israeli hospital.

Guessing his days are numbered….

He’s a bit old for those 72.

A few of these would take care of him….

The end is near.

Watching and reading the various news sources I find it interesting that
the Israelis started a gig they can't finish. Information indicates that one,
or more, of USA's bunker bombs will end the threat.
I think BB knew this and expected The USA to jump in with both feet.

Before getting all happy about bombing Iran, recall that it shares a border and Islam (albeit more Sunn'i than Shi'a) with Pakistan. You remember Pakistan, correct? Where Osama bin Laden lived for a decade 2 miles from their military academy? Pakistan has 150 to 200 deliverable nukes. One stupid DC statement about a 'crusade' or in any way suggesting the US was bombing Iran because it is a Muslim country or even that Iran 'deserves it' because of Islamic leadership and all bets are off.

"Me against my brother; me and my brother against our cousins; me, my brother, and my cousins against the outsider." - Bedouin saying widely distributed in Islam since the 1960s.

The troubles and hatreds of the region (Middle East, South Asia, northern Africa) are not ever going to be resolved by us. Ever.
