So, you don't know what they should do, you just are upset that they won't do it?

It would be mostly them trading missiles and air strikes, but I think Israel has the upperhand there. Neither side would have a large ground war going on so it'd just stalemate. Neither side really has a great power projection capability outside of their immediate areas.

If they wanted, a single flight of aircraft could easily fly an attack path down the Persian Gulf and take out major navy and oil shipping facilities in one night and there is about fuck all that Iran could do about it. They could even warn them to get the people out and still there would be fuck all Iran could do.

Keep in mind, this is the same Gelston that said Russia is a paper tiger 300 billion dollars ago.

Now we are exceeding 1 million casualties with no end in site.

He knows all the MW3 maps by heart, though. :shrug:

And there it is, Israel is banking on the United States support in helping them in a regional conflict against Iran and the United States is appropriately warning a cautionary approach. Israel received 14.3B in assistance this year on top of the annual 3.5B already provided annually, this is more than half of their 24.3B annual defense budget. Just as we've done with Ukraine, any assistance from the United States comes with strings and the advice of an ally.

Yeah I was wrong, they are worse than I could have possibly imagined. I don't care how much we gave to Ukraine, they are still at best in a stalemate with Ukraine.

And what "we" are exceeding 1 million casualties? Are you Ukrainian or Russian?

And no, I've never played MW3, kthxbai.

You were the one popping in here all hot and bothered. I thought you had something you wanted to say, but I guess not.

I said what I wanted, you've just been swinging off my balls like a monkey at a jungle gym ever since.
