The US and Israel are targeting schools while Iran targets military bases.

And cities of nations containing US bases.

"suspected iranian drone" and "unclear if that was the intended target" both written in that short article. Not sure if that's the gotcha you think it is.

Why can't that be an American/Russian/Israeli/whatever drone trying to stirr a war?

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Because its visually and audio confirmed as a Sahed drone.

Only Russia uses and they are too far away.

Also what intended target is in a city. Those drones have a accuracy of about 3m.

WHY do you Think it's APPROPRIATE to Attack US Military Bases AFTER they Bombed a Bunch of Children in your Country?

We need news readers who are less stupid. I’m not asking for geniuses.

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mediocre would be an improvement.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 53 points 1 week ago

Jesus fucking Christ this is how stupid they think we are.

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

And they're mostly right!

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I understand it's there right but isn't it a better strategy to focus on attacking Israel? I doubt those cowards Arab leaders will do any real pressure on the USA even when Iran retaliate on them

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They're being very restrained honestly. Missile attacks against Israel and local bases are bare minimum response. They have the funds and people to do serious unconventional warfare damage.

[-] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Yes and no. Technically yes, but practically no. There has been a lot of unrest and the majority of the people are not willing to fight for this regime. So if Iran were to go all out against Israel or the US with the people and means they have, the popular protests would make it impossible to keep that going very quickly.

It's like the queen being pinned to the king in chess. You can't move it because that would actually be worse.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I didn't say all out, I said unconventional. Facing the US military head on is just suicide with more steps. Iran has a lot more options.

Why beat a dog when you can beat its master?

Why does the person with a gun have an Ohio flag on his sleeve?
