Yes, civilian nuclear sites being used to develop nuclear weapons, civilians in the IRGC and intelligence apparatus, and various military installations; whereas Iran has attacked only civilian targets, apart from one presumably unintentional strike at a U.S. Embassy facility and a random lucky strike on a single IDF facility surrounded by civilian structures. No terror there, right? Excusable, perhaps, as a reflection of the poverty of Iran's intelligence and technology, or else reflective of deliberate targeting of only civilians.

Yawn. Hitting civilian infrastructure because you are unable to take out the military targets is pathetic. Stop making excuses for war crimes.

You're describing Iranian targeting to a T. There's not much Iranian military infrastructure left, in contrast, reflective of Israeli targeting and consequent total air superiority.

If the backwards rebel group in Yemen can disrupt U.S. air operations so easily, how can America conduct effective air operations against a more sophisticated adversary?
According to new reporting from the New York Times, a Houthi surface-to-air (SAM) missile barely missed an American F-35 fifth-generation fighter, the crown jewel of the U.S. fighter inventory. The F-35, participating in Operation Rough Rider against the Houthis, was forced to take evasive action to avoid the missile.
The incident raises questions about the survivability of one of America’s most advanced fighters, and raises concerns over how effective the relatively unsophisticated Houthi air defense system has been at hampering U.S. action.
“Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses, making real the possibility of American casualties,” military analyst Gregory Brew posted on X, adding that the Houthis were successful in shooting down “seven American MQ-9 drones (around $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s ability to track and strike the militant group.”

Almost does not count in combat. Like saying “I almost won the lottery”.

I almost hit my target is called a miss.

The F-35 is almost 25 years old now and approaching end of life. It will definitely serve for another 20 but there are newer platforms out there the US has.

Is there any actual evidence that any F-35s have been shot down / captured for study? I can't find any. The only stuff I've seen out there is either bad AI, or photoshop, or videos from video games.

From another credible news source! Got any more propaganda you'd like to try to proliferate in the service of your antisemitic narrative?

Great. We will weaken and exhaust ourselves for Israel’s sake, so that China can later attack and we will have nothing left.

I hate Trump.

The GOP is split on that and the democrats will be against. They really
do have a chance to work together to destroy any chance of passing any version of that big stupid bill until some adults enter the chat in the White House.

Why are you so sure the Democrats will be against it?

DP. MAGA is split on this. The Dems base is done with Israel. People are tired of Israel’s genocide and the pro Israelis calling everyone leftists or Hamas.

The Democrat activist class is done with Israel. Most of the rank and file want the war to stop but don't care enough to do anything about it, like support BDS.

MAGA isn’t really a big fan of war in Iran either
