[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like the US is junior “partner” in this. I bet the US military is taking orders from the IDF. It only makes sense.[/quote]

It’s a shame they don’t involve you in their plans considering you are such an accomplished military mind and all. If you know anything about our military, they don’t take orders from any foreign power. This is a joint operation. It appears the US is targeting nuclear sites and striking missile launching sites while Israel is taking out Iran’s leadership. This is what a coordinated joint effort looks like. [/quote]

Sadly that is no longer true. This entire fiasco in Iran is not in the national security interest of the United States.

Besides Trump obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites last summer, right?[/quote]

Bullshit it isn’t in our interest. I can only assume with a statement like that you are young and naive.

If you are citing a thread from X, you are doing it wrong. Also, why does your timeline begin in 1979. You ignore what happened in Iran with the US for the decades that preceded the Islamic Revolution there. Ignoring that means you are not up to date on the actual history between the two countries and why 1979 happened at all.[/quote]
