To sum the Iran "attack" on Israel up easily, more people were killed in regular gun free Chicago violence this weekend then were killed with Iran's drones, missiles and ICBMs launched at Israel combined.
This was just a nothing burger from Iran to save face with their people much like the "attack" on the US air base when all their missiles landed outside the perimeter after we took out their important general.
Hopefully nothing escalates and Biden can go back to the beach where he's most useful.
It was a nothing burger because Biden has 50 years of foreign policy experience and is a bad ass. The U.S. had frickin' Arab countries shooting down Iranian drones on Israel's behalf, all while Israel is taking a massive crap on the Palestinians. Let that sink in.
Funny, Putin had the same take a few years ago, after their first summit:
"Biden is a professional, and you need to work very carefully with him so as not to miss something," Putin told reporters Thursdaya day after they met in the neutral site of Geneva... "He himself does not miss anything, I assure you. It was completely obvious to me... The image of President Biden, which is portrayed by our and even the American press, has nothing to do with reality"

Lol, it kinda does. But ok. The point is that you guys work really hard to not see the long string of foreign policy best case scenarios we've had since Biden took office. Add the other night to the list.
P.S. You do know we were funding the war in Afghanistan while you were sipping your morning coffee? That war cost us WAY more than whatever you think we're giving the Ukraine, and we'd still be there if Trump won in 2020.
How much equipment did we leave over there in Afghanistan? Also, how did you think the pull out went there?
