US Senate Democrats block defence bill over Iran war, Israel integration
The Senate votes 50-46 to block debate on the annual defence bill over war funding and defence cooperation with Israel.www.aljazeera.com
Perhaps a little but in an election year, the AIPAC money is most important. Ask those who Israel has unseated during various elections, including some even in Primary stages.
Very interesting link. Thanks!

People all over the internet have been sweating over the bill which would sort of 'merge' the US and the Israeli militaries. Some say it is the last ditch attempt by the Israelis to further dig their claws into America as the Israeli influence is fading; look at what NY Times said about 'dramatic' change in the Democratic Party.
I see no way the Republicans are going to get the 60 Senators to vote for such a bill, though who knows about the future.

I agree with you, that you need to be aggressive. But as a commander and military planner, you can't just focus on destroying the enemy only. You also have to keep a close eye on your logistics, manpower and critical elements such as ammunition and resources.
I have a strong feeling they currently lack the resources to execute a large scale attack. This could be either due to effective US reconnaissance disrupting their plans, or simply because their stockpile of drones and missiles is running low. By rationing their remaining precision weapons, they might be trying to drag this out into a long war of attrition, a scenario that would highly favor Iran.
In the end, we need to keep remembering that this war is a marathon and not a sprint. It is hard to sit back and watch all the news of the bombings occuring in Iran, but we have to have faith in Iran's strategy.

there's no way Iran is running low on drones. even Ukraine after years of war is building more drones than ever now, in a country 1/3 the size of Iran and with no real drone industry at the start of the war. recently our military spokesperson said Iran is manufacturing 3x more drones now than before the war.
as for missiles, you might be right. but I think the issue is more about logistics for launching and coordinating so many separate teams acting independently.

They didn't bomb the hospital itself, they bombed a nearby place which caused massive shockwaves and they had to evacuate the hospital as well. Pretty sick, but we must rely on facts not emotions.

I would not get too excited. Half the Democrats and every republican except the one who was primaried, voted for the bill. This is what AIPAC's strength on the Hill was before the events of the last few years as well. The Dems who voted no are merely responding to the anti Israel sentiment because of an unpopular Mr Netanyahu in an election year.
you are not going to get rid of AIPAC because the billionaires fund it in a system that had been made into "pay to play" by the Supreme Court. You are more likely to see this playbook taken to many more countries around the globe.

IR needs to pound kuwait and Bahrain heavily.. Not enough compared to what US is doing using these two little devils. Soon bombing campaign will be bigger. Irgc is losing the tempo, targeting US bases alone is not enough. Specially when water, food and health facilities are being targeted by US.
