Probably, would explain why the US have reigned in support for Ukraine as they will now have to deal with Iran, they were probably expecting this.

Russia-Ukraine will ramp up shortly, as in within the next year, where Ukraine will be defeated.

China will probably attack Taiwan.

It'll be a global conflict, maybe not everyone gets involved.

Enjoy whatever luxuries you take for granted while you still can.
Settle down captain fun.

There is a time for an underground bunker full of beans and a faraday cage full of bukkake porn, but it’s not now.

Israel is in danger of becoming a rogue state at this stage. Why *should* we enable their reckless behaviour?
To claim Israel is a rogue state, but no mention of Iran being one laugh
We know what Iran is. Israel pretends to be different.
God forbid we embolden the only non-sthole country in the region
We’re enabling them to become like the sthole countries. They’ve become accustomed to launching strikes in other countries with impunity. As I’ve asked before, would we have been ok with Israel taking out the Iranian embassy in London with an airstrike? And, if not, why are we OK with it being done in Syria?

By Middle Eastern standards, this drone attack seems more like a strongly worded 9 hour statement than a war, unless I'm missing something
yes "Don't bomb our consulates please, kindest regards, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei".

Like when they bombed a US military base in retaliation for the murder of one of their generals, but told them they'd be doing it to limit the damage.

No commercial air traffic now over Iraq, Jordan and west Iran.

Very unusual. A lot of DXB traffic routing way out east.

BBC reporting that Iran have now launched ballistic missiles.

What are we going to wake up to in the morning?

If they have flight time will be minutes rather than hours.

Seems it was iranian sources saying ballistic, but they were cruise missile launches that were detected.

Yes Damascus is the same as London, excellent point.

It looks like a predicted (and incorrect) position because there's not been a signal received in a while.

GPS jamming is causing planes to appear where they are not.

So you’re OK with it being done in Damascus but not in London? And that right there is why we have a problem, and why we’re viewed as imperialists.

They bombed an embassy being used to shelter terrorists in a country that uses chemical weapons against its own population. If Syria cared about its population perhaps I would have more issue.
As it is a ba’athist socialist republic that kills its own citizens at will, due to belief, sexuality etc I am less worried.
