I criticize Israel at times but this makes sense with them hitting Iran without coordination: it was a target of opportunity and they landed the punch.

If we’re going to do this, and it’s been blindingly obvious for weeks we were, that’s the type of decapitation strike that can change a war that isn’t going to be fought with large troop formations on the ground.

When you eliminate war planners you have less war. I love the strategy of removing the head of the chicken or snake first!!

It can keep this at the level of a “military strike” as opposed to becoming a “war.”

If someone shot missiles at the WH we’d be at war.

We’re at war.

We’re just in a limited war, but I agree this could allow us to avoid a larger engagement that we don’t have the ground troops or other variables required to fight right now.

This is going to be a quick hit because it has to be for reasons that shouldn’t be spoken of after an engagement begins.
