I sincerely hope for this reality.

1] That Iran has actually taken down Israeli/US F35s, as reported by Danny Haiphong.

2]That Iran has buried undamaged hypersonic missile production capability sufficient to pound and ultimately exhaust Israel's missile defenses, such that we can ultimately watch areas of Tel Aviv turned to bloody dust. And listen to VICTIM ISRAEL cry "civilians" after they've embedded military/intelligence sites in the midst of civilian populations.

Whilst we listened to endless talk of Hamas using civilians as shields!

BLOW up Israel and the USA

I am so angry that Iran went through these SUPPOSED Peace deals urged on by MR fucking Trump.

NO different in Ukraine and Russia.

USA does not want PEACE. They want to rule the World.

OF course I do Vin.

I have many ""left wing" friends in the USA ......many scholars and real people.

Propaganda terrifying the 'sheep people' with regard to Socialism/Communism.

This is why you have NO health system.

I am not deceived by Europe. They want the same as in the USA BUT the Govt. will NOT easily defeat the people with regard to healthcare.

It's already happening in Europe.

I sincerely urge Europeans to resist the privatizers, the Black Rockers and other scumbags who think healthcare is a commodity. And I urge this on the basis of my experience as both a patient and biomedical scientist in the USA -- where the system is a disaster of pharmaceutical disease maintenance for maximal profit.

In France the people are out on the streets

I had this idea that the French were well educated BUT it seems they are not. I do speak to French people daily and I am getting really sick of their comments. However I have GOOD friends here in France.

IF we could get shot of the OLD socialist Melanchon he is useless we may have a way forward.

MY best guess now is to vote Communist in the next elections but it won't happen.

The Russiaphobia here in France is..............deplorable.

England -- at least its government -- also seems heavily Russophobic. It is indeed deplorable. Slavic untermenschen-ism?

That has been the case since WWII, I fear. Their hegemony will not last forever, but it's a question of how much harm they do in the meantime .....

These links convey much of what Iranian officials are saying publicly:

I think Iran has just proven for the second time that the Iron Dome is far from impervious.

That Ignatius creep is trying to give Loomer a run for her money on flat-out idiotic bullshit. Who’s in “league” with Al-Qaeda & ISIS? Fairy-tale journalism at its finest, David! At least Loomer brings out her honest side now & again…like when she repeatedly & callously states her indifference to the plight of Palestinians.

Anyway, Israel looks to me to have bit off quite a bit more than it can chew.

Thank you. So good to see the rubble, hear the shock waves in Tel Aviv. And especially that Mike Huckabee had to run his fool ass into a shelter five times.

I have absolutely NO idea whether this is true.

I hear that BIBI (master of War) is not there in Israhell.

If the NY Times is showing multiple images of rubble in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, we know that part's true - hypersonic missiles are penetrating Zionazi air defenses. so IF Iran can saturate those defenses, they can inflict serious damage. The F35s?: I've heard from three sources, but awaiting Iran to show wreckage -- that's the ultimate confirmation.

The F35 is Shit. All show, no go! As we used to say in my racing days. Simply a way to extract $Billions from the taxpayers. I'm an American and ashamed say so in many ways. We once built great machines, those days are long gone.

Go for it Iran. Don't cower to the bullies . Wish the other adjacent countries would help but alas too cowardly. My thoughts are with you in what I hope will see the end of Israel as a country in the middle east.

Bibi Netanyahu has been found corrupt and fraudulent. He has been tried in Israeli court and evidence-based sentencing awaits his exit from office.

A parallel criminal trial track and state of 'suspended animation' awaiting sentencing phases once exited from office to our own President Trump who has been found guilty on 34 counts of criminal fraud and corruption.

There seems to be no U.S. broadcast or press reporting any follow-up on these judicial proceedings. Our US government system of checks and balances between our Chief Executive, Legislative and Judiciary\Justice departments appear as complicit if not more so than Iran's contradictory system of democratic republic under the absolute rule of its Supreme Shia'a Islamic Leader:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/supreme-leader-of-Iran

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Leader_of_Iran

Any thoughts on moral highground on a global stage where judiciary branch of government and justice in general takes such a backseat to higher powers and the Pay2Play imperatives? Just asking..until some accredited U.S. or global beat journalist from our Golden Rolodex of Official Sources is empowered to ask the Supreme Leader(s) of either east or west in front of a live mic and camera.....Or, at least "in-camera"

All Iran needs to do is just wait, the F-35 will take itself out of the battle soon enough. Like many of the US "Wunderwaffe", the F35 does not live up to the hype or the price tag.
