It's easy to act strong on the Internet. That's all I will say.

You woke up a tad too late now buddy. F around, now find out. This war will eclipse the war in 1991, 2001,and 2003 in the Middle East.

This Democratic US Senator is calling it 'deeply unpopular, immoral and illegal war on Iran'. He is right on those things except Democrats have been playing a cynical game: Didn't oppose the war to displease AIPAC and waiting for the war to go bad to hurt Trump. Politicians are such hypocrites and opportunists--and in most of the world.
I dont see much hope in the Congressional moves like the votes on War Powers Act. Trump has rarely backpaddled unless tremendous pressure on moves like the ICE raids in Minneapolis. He figures out way around by using his Executive Power.
So much so for a 'democracy'

There is lots of running commentary but we need to do is:
Do we just lament or comment?
How to end this war?
How to stop this divide and destroy?

That's a good question.

There are only going to be 1 out of 2 ways out of this mess.

Either both sides concede and stand down, or we are going to see one major conflict in the Middle East that makes George W Bush look like a saint.

The best case scenario is either Trump or Iran did something else to each other and declared victory and stopped, or Iran took the high road and stopped (the notion of Trump taking the high road is a joke to me) worst-case scenario is that Iran can't get over the death of Khemeni and Trump won't back down from the tantrum he was throwing, then this war keep going with Israel fanning the heat. Israel won't stop because that is a part of Nethanyahu move to cling to power (Which I said right after Oct 7 when people laughed at me, and now it's almost 3 years later and still he is in charge).

If this is not resolved, then this will just keep escalating. And I don't see any other way this war is going away, hell, I see it even when what I said becomes true, this war is still not going away. We are just putting it on the back burner for the next 2 years, 10 months.

But well, let's hope cooler heads prevail

if Iran truly wanted to cripple the Arab states, they wouldn't just target oil facilities—they would strike the desalination plants. Since these nations rely on desalination for over 60% of their fresh water, destroying that infrastructure would be far more devastating than any energy disruption. It's a matter of basic survival. If these plants are hit, will the Arab world finally realize that conventional defenses aren't enough and that nuclear deterrence is their only real insurance policy?

Iranians are not savages and will not resort to anti human behaving unless their own population is subjected by such from enemy. so far there is no such thing from gcc states, so please scale down your near to genocide proposals.

Is shooting down the B-2 bomber not possible?

Sure, it is a stealth aircraft, but only unseen on radar at distances beyond a certain range. A good Iranian radar positioned at short distance away with the best SAMs can detect, track and shoot it down, so are the reports from x that China supplied Iran powerful counter-stealth radars a lie?

I was always skeptical when I read that China supplied this China supplied that, because if Chinese counter-stealth radars and HQ-9s really have the possibility to shoot down US stealth planes, they wouldn't have started this war because they're sensitive to losing USAF pilots turning them into hostages or PoWs under Iran......

According to information published by Russian Arms Telegram channel, a central component of the latest cooperation between the countries is the deployment of the YLC-8B radar system. The radar is designed to detect targets with a radar cross-section of one square meter at ranges between 270 and 330 kilometers.

It is also capable of detecting aircraft such as the F-35A Lightning II at distances exceeding 200 kilometers. The system can be deployed or dismantled in under 30 minutes, a feature intended to reduce vulnerability to anti-radiation missile strikes.
