That's what my first thoughts were as well, but they were flying in some pretty nasty weather. Thick fog, high winds, in a remote forested mountain range. While it is entirely possible that the CIA and IDF may have collaborated on some impromptu helicopter modifications, I think the question is less "Who could have done this?" and is more "Why were they flying in those conditions?"
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would not supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there....
Certain weapons like Iron Dome interceptors can only really be used for that purpose. I'm sure if Hamas got their hands on the interceptors, they would make clever use of the warheads.
But I do agree with you. Whose to say they don't have enough munitions stockpiled already to shell Gaza for years to come? Or maybe purchase under the table from other supportive countries in Europe?
If they only had Iron Dome, they'd only be able to defend. I agree with you, though. Take away their stick and see how well they get along with their neighbors.
The ones that adapt well enough will eventually have their offspring served up at Red Lobster. If Red Lobster is still around in a few hundred thousand years.
I agree, but I figured I'd draw particular attention to this lie on the off chance that op was about to give a charlatan a sum of money in a misguided attempt to assuage some grief.
I want to know what the dolphen was wearing, maybe a dark hoodie. Will they release the arrest record of the dulphin? What was the dolphin holding? Why is so much media attention going to this one dolphon? All sea creatures matter. I read the fisherman thought it was his taser and feared for his life, let’s see how you react in a dark alley with a young dofin.

As soon as they start to look smug about their appearances, I berate them heavily. For about a week after, I’ll make them wear unflattering accessories, such as snake skin chaps, or a boa made entirely from raw chicken. If they ever ask why, I yell at the top of my lungs about how one day they’ll be ugly and need a plan b.
I hope this answer was at least as ridiculous as the question.
Hey there, shy and introverted nerds with barely contained rage that this platform is known for! Have you tried speaking like a government official? The best way to learn how is to study videos of the third reich’s chief propagandist! My life has turned around from consuming hours of nazi propaganda! But I’m totally just trying to learn how to talk like him, I promise!
The imagery that comes to mind is a special israeli kid facing a football goal, ball at his feet. Behind the kid with the ball is an american, cheering him on and encouraging him. Across from them is an iranian goalkeeper.
The israeli kicks the ball, the american cheers and praises as the ball slowly rolls across the grass. The iranian goalkeeper dives dramatically in the wrong direction, allowing the ball to roll in.
The american raises the drooling israeli child onto his shoulders while the stadium erupts into praise and celebration of the kid’s accomplishment.
US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles....
I think it would be an incredibly unpopular decision by Biden, and the American people would not support a war with Iran. I also think that it would be a tactical mistake, given how many US assets are within Iranian striking distance right now. The US military is having recruiting issues currently, and a war will not help that.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ISIS attacks in Iran start to happen more frequently.

I see where you’re coming from as well. Honestly, your mileage may vary. Do what you can in the moment. What happened to me may not apply in this situation. But if you need to talk, I’ll be here.
Israel’s foreign minister threatened Wednesday that his country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel, as tensions between the rival powers flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria....
A significant portion of the destruction will come from ballistic missiles.
As far as aerial combat, it will depend on who will let who fly over their respective countries. I can’t see a situation where Israel and Iran go at it directly and it doesn’t escalate to a regional war. I doubt it will remain between just those two countries for long.

Potentially. I can’t see state media of Ukraine being excited to brag about shooting up a concert full of civilians. The blowback about brazenly attacking a non-military target such as a concert would be intense. Especially when the Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian infrastructure has seen progress.
