I sure hope soAre you guys going to make them wish they hadn't done that?
Iran has been using its proxies against us for decadesI am making hypotheticals not asking you to trust me and I admit often that I could be wrong. And it is not like the US administrations of the past two decades had any proof to justify its presence in the area, or that any of its mercs had an actual reason to be there.
Yeah.If memory serves right you were one of those who said you were in Syria still to fight ISIS. Aren't you guys doing that?
Also, Fighting ongoing in Syria’s Hassakeh as SDF raids ISIL hideouts they were active as far as 2 years ago, so there is reasonable evidence that they could still be around.
Look's who talking...didn't you attack Syria repeatedly and without reason?
United States Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) putting the Biden administration on full-blast & rightfully so!Source: Even More Literally Trust (Just) Me Bro.
No, it is not safe to assume that, and i'm about to show to you how unsafe it was. The existence of asshole democrats in Washington in no way, shape or form prevents the existence or activity of assholes in Tehran and their proxies. The world is huge, there's room for many gangs of assholes, Washington can only wish to have a monopoly.AFAIK, there is still a few ISIS/Daesh units in Syria.
Or a former US-EU-friendly proxy that bit the hands that fed them.
Plus, it is safe to assume that Biden is completely fabricating the issue, without evidence as well. What better distraction for an asinine admin than "we are under attack by a foreign country?".
As well as the possibility of a false flag "Northwoods" style.
You could *at least* read fucking wikipedia before shooting off like that.No proof of Iran-backing beyond of a trust-me bro.
In the aftermath of the attack, U.S. officials assessed that one of several Iranian-supported groups had launched the attack, although it did not specifically identify the precise group responsible.[10]
Later in the day, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iranian-backed factions, claimed that it had launched attacks on three military bases, including one on the Jordan-Syria border.[2][10] However, the U.S. said the attack on Tower 22 was the only attack on its forces that it had tracked that day.[10]
Aftermath
According to Omar Abu Layla, a European activist and the head of the Deir Ezzor 24 media outlet, Iran-backed fighters in eastern Syria began evacuating their posts in fear of retaliatory US strikes.[11]
Why would we believe Iran? Iranians lie all the time. Just like Biden!
The average Iranian isn't senile, so that's no great accomplishment.The average Iranian is almost certainly more aware of reality and the distinction between truth and falsehood than is Joe Biden.

US Representative for the State of Minnesota Ilhan Omar Seems Open to Opening a Two Front War in the Red Sea.
For context Ilhan Omar's clan and family legacy hails from the Marxist-Soviet backed Siad Barre dictatorship that ruled Somalia until 1991 and engaged in bloody Wars with its neighbors including Ethiopia due to the desire to unite all Somali people into one Dictatorship under his rule. After Barre was desposed, clans like the one Ilhan Omar belong to suffered some repression in the ensuing decades of warlordism which is why Ilhan Omar and her brother-husband among others fled their shithole country to America.
Ironically despite her Clan being the victim of Warlordism and manmade famine and thus a beneficiary of the UN/US Intervention in the region, she still has of course naturallty decried American humanitarian intervention in Somalia as Colonialism decades after the fact. But that's besides the point.
What Ilhan Omar is calling for here is the reunification of Somalia. Some time ago, the northern part of Somalia known as Somaliland, had its shit together a fair bit more then the rest of the country and is de facto independent. Somaliland has been a democratically governed land that compromises of most of Northern Somalia. Despite not being a recognized country, it has informal recognition and economic ties, including with Taiwan ironically. During the Somali Piracy crisis, it also played host to private security contractors to combat piracy and unlike the rest of Somalia, the Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgency isn't nearly as big a concern there. So it's been relatively stable. Its been actively seeking more economic ties with the United States, Taiwan, Sweden, as well as its neighbors and even the Libertarian LARP micronation of Lederland. Recently Somaliland has been pursuing a port access deal with Ethiopia which would give Ethiopia more access to the sea that it needs and boost Somaliland's influence in the Horn of Africa greatly, enhancing its own security and standing in the region.
So naturally, true Somalis like Ilhan Omar and other Somali refugees who fled their shithole part country want to reabsorb Somaliland into their home country.
Ilhan Omar, at the end of the speech, also states she wants to pursue irredentist claims elsewhere. That is referring to Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya which ironically, are currently investing a considerable amount of blood and treasure into fighting Al-Shabaab in Somalia (obviously largely out of self interest so Islamism doesn't spread farther out) and basically keeping the actual Somali government afloat.
As for the comment on a two front War, that's just me being whimsical. Ilhan Omar, AFAIK, supports Palestine and their backers in the Houthis.
Some of them though...
Suicide Drone Attack on a US Military Facility Located Within Jordan (on the border with Syria) has resulted in the death of three US Servicemembers and the injury of two dozen more.
I mean, so no different than you youIt's a news thread. You don't post news. You just post the same stupid posts regardless and then act offended and indignant when people realize your posts are worthless. You just derailed this thread for over a page with your trolling because you were triggered by a widely reported news story and haven't offered any actual substantial response.
Your participation in this thread is literally a net negative contribution.
You even said Poe wasn't an isolationist. I've barely seen Poe on this forum but from a brief glance over his posts in the Ukraine and other Middle East threads its actually pretty apparent that his POV is of an isolationist. His issue with you is that your shitting up this thread with your textual stupidity.
Your ability to hold an actual conversation in good faith is completely shit in this thread and it shows. And it has nothing to do with your political POV and the fact you think it does shows how intentionally obtuse you actually are. It's posters like you that ruin threads and places where people try to engage in free speech because in this thread at least you've shown you're incapable of engaging in a discussion in good faith.

Because you have no proof, as your own government admitted :and we've still done nothing

My guess would be "mobile launchers" - that can be "everywhere and nowhere".
People, some old common sense here: Anyone who's old enough to have played Missile Command or other such videogames back in the 1980's knows that an ABM system can be overwhelmed if the enemy sends more missiles than you have interceptors for, or sends them faster than you can target them.
(And in Missile Command, the interceptor ABMM's the player uses themselves have small nuclear warheads, so you can take out a bunch of incoming with one shot if they are close enough together at the time your one arrives there.)
On the other hand, as Zach pointed out, one can ignore incoming missiles that one can see aren't going to hit anything that matters. And Team Snackbar's cheap mass-produced rockets have poor accuracy. If they are using them to try to interdict shipping, that's likely a lot of harmless splashes.
But the threat would still be enough to make civilian ships not want to go there.
Nope. I'll post here too. Nope, Iran did not penetrate areas under the protection of Patriot.
Because concussive blasts hurt and what is severely? You are the only one saying that.
Basically if it is of importance it gets protected, if it isn't important it gets less to none.
Welcome to force protection
Do they need to be based there before such a war?
Answer: No, it would be idiotic to base them there. Airbases under such risk of attack are just a glorified refuel point to "cheat" around range limitations.
Source: Your ass.
Even Russia and USA don't have "thousands" of missile silos, merely approaching a single thousand, while using them for far more valuable nuclear ICBMs.
And i've just realized you're too retarded to use google maps and substitute Iranian propaganda releases for it.

Tomahawk (missile family) - Wikipedia

Operational
rangeBlock II TLAM-N – 1,350 nmi (1,550 mi; 2,500 km)
Block III TLAM-C, Block IV TLAM-E – 900 nmi (1,000 mi; 1,700 km)
Block III TLAM-D – 700 nmi (810 mi; 1,300 km)[7]
Block IV - 864nmi, 1000+ miles, 1600+ km

RGM/UGM-109B TASM - 250 miles, 460 km[9]
As you can see, even many older types of Tomahawk can reach comfortably way beyond Tehran, without the launching ship even entering the Persian Gulf, just comfortably staying near UAE coast.
Funny enough, F-35 on an interdiction mission can reach roughly similarly to older Tomahawks without using drop tanks or tankers, and that's without even adding long range missiles.

It doesn't need to destroy all. It just needs to destroy or damage enough to make effective attacks
As you saw, with close to 50 missiles... they did minimal damage to a base. Surely that will stop US war effort if repeated few times. Who knows, if they try few dozen times, maybe they will even kill a US soldier or few.
C-RAM, THAAD, any destroyer or cruiser.
To get through towards non-sensitive targets that is.
Yes, "caused damage". Which can mean anything.
Oh no, they blew up some latrines on the edge of the base and knocked down a meeting tent, and few people were within hundreds of meters of that so they had to be put on medical observation, what will we do, the base is ruined!
Do you have any idea what it takes to destroy an airbase for good?
Do you have any idea how long it takes to fix a runway to wartime standards?
No, harassing it with TBMs won't do it.
Israel strikes this airbase regularly over years, with more killed personnel than those "swarm" TBM strikes by Iran, yet the base still operates.T-4 Airbase / Tiyas
www.globalsecurity.org
And what good did this "getting through" do? How many planes, defenses and munitions did it destroy? Who cares if a missile is allowed to get through because it's heading for empty space between runways and besides an eyesore crater will do no real damage? War is fought on effect, not soundbite technicalities.
I mean, so no different than you youor Poe
