    Interceptor prices vary widely: Iron Dome rounds can cost $50,000–$150,000, David’s Sling about $1 million, Arrow systems up to $3.5 million, while Patriot, SM-3, and THAAD interceptors can run from $4 million to over $12 million each.

    Why are these interceptors so expensive or so difficult to manufacture?

    they must think they have the next few elections in the bag with some generational rigging or they’re planning to straight up just not leave office, because troops on the ground getting killed is how you get a president with a 20 something % approval rating and Dems doing FDR numbers in the midterms and beyond

    They really have no choice if they want anyone other than the IRGC and the new Ayatollah to retain power for another 50 years.

    I saw it reported a bit ago that Trump is weighing backing one of the militias. There are two choices… make a deal with the IRGC that is basically Trump leaving, claiming victory while nothing being solved other than a lot of death and destruction or they back one of the rival factions or a democratic leader while also putting hundreds of thousands of troops in Tehran for years to ensure that new leader they are backing doesn’t get murdered in 24 hours.

    Trump and his goons have no idea what they are doing.

    McGovern: Republicans can't answer because they were against war with Iran until exactly the second Donald Trump decided to go to war, and now they're all running around sounding like neocon lunatics.

    America can't take this level of gaslighting. I went to the classified briefing. There was no imminent threat, I guess, unless Republicans want to redefine the word imminent to mean stretching back 47 years.

    This whole thing is just so transparently built on lies. Republicans went from imminent threat to regime change to nukes, back to imminent threat in the last 24 hours. This is Iraq 2.0. I still remember the lies about WMDs. I voted against that war, too. At least George Bush had the decency to lie to people's face.

    It's not Donald Trump's kids that will have to go fight and die for their draft dodging dad. It's not the children of of the billionaire Epstein class. It's working class kids who are going to put their lives on the line. Shame on Republicans. I'm sick of this bs. We're spending billions of dollars a day on a war, and we can't even get Republicans to join us to expand health care in America. How the hell is this America first?

    You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

    They just vastly underestimated that the Mullahs virtually have 50 to 100 candidates with them having another lineup of sons....

    • You can tactically place them at various locations that they don't get bombed at once.....
    • I would imagine 99.99% are Anti Americans.....

    This is not what I meant when I said: things I can verify with my own eyes.

    But what you've shared is a theory that is shared by many in the gulf countries at the moment. Especially relating to the refinery that got hit in a neighboring country. Not a certainty. It's also possible the Iranian regime is hinting it wasn't involved in order to create chaos, the goal of which would be to plant suspicion in the GCC governments about the US/Israel/allies.

    I swear to God every ****in day some piece of **** in the Trump regime wakes up and is like

    "What can we do to make the world and specifically the United States of America a worse place immediately and forever after '

    And then they do that thing.
