Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
A few hundred slow drones without volleys of ballistic missiles coming behind them were never going to have any impact. The illegal zionist entity has wrll-developed air defences and their American overlords and the US puppet states are helping shoot the drones down. You need more force to get through that.
There is no way Iran didn't know this. This means two things, either the unprovoked US-zionist terror attacks effectively wiped out Iranian missile deterrence capabilities or the Iranian leadership is scared of a full-scale war with the US and the illegal zionist entity and have opted to do only symbolic retaliation and to take yet another brazen terrorist attack on the chin.
If they simply wait, enduring the occasional unprovoked attack, then in a few months or years the USA attention will turn away. America is unstable and unpredictable.
I'd agree if these countries weren't putting their entire command and control networks in urban highrises despite being under threat of a massive military strike the whole week prior. If Iran wants to play the "our plans are measured in centuries" schtick they need to get better opsec than whatever transpired last night.
There was no way to prevent a lot of last night. I think many people there were caught by surprise.
And it’s difficult to tell when an attack will happen, one has to shift through all the genocidal noises by the American and Israeli governments, and predict who will be in power that week to restrain the bastards. This has been going on for decades. Each month a new existential threat, it seems.
Although before it was easier to predict, and maybe they underestimated the sheer insanity of the current White House
There will be no way to prevent future attacks; one cannot bunker down everything permanently
Or, the third option, it takes longer than you'd hope to arrange a missile bombardment campaign at short notice when your top commanders have all just been assassinated.
A few hundres slow drones cost way less than the weapons used to shoot them down. Just food for thought.
