I know this is a nitpick but I don’t think you should be able to call it retaliatory if you’re retaliating to someone’s retaliation against you. Their strikes on our bases were the retaliation for our assisting Israel. This isn’t retaliation, just good old fashioned aggression.

-- 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 .
