@davep @noelreports Not really, it's what Israelis have been experiencing every day for the past few decades. The Iron Dome wasn't built for deterrence, but to protect the population. But even it has its limits.

@Lvg @noelreports Sorry, but that comparison is ridiculous. Comparing democratic countries to terrorist dictatorships is exactly the point I described above. Just travel to Iran, and you won't have that perspective anymore.

@noelreports Anyone who witnesses such attacks and still thinks about negotiations, or even peace with these terrorists, is living in a fantasy world. Even if I don't agree with everything the Israeli government does, our reaction would be far more intense, if we experienced something like this every day. Unfortunately, we in the West always wear rose-tinted glasses that simply prevent us from seeing reality, unless it hits us hard. I hope there were no casualties.

@noelreports They wouldn't do that if the EU weren't cowards, if they were consistent and froze all aid to Hungary. Hoping that this will change after the election is precisely the EU's lame-faced approach since the beginning of the war: "Let's see, maybe it will change..." A neverending cycle. Hungary wants to belong to Russia, okay, then leave the EU, and see what you're left with. No more subsidies, no more aid, if that doesn't happen, the EU is a bunch of Clowns.

@noelreports Even now, all Trump offers is scorn and derision for Zelensky. Instead of shutting up and showing some gratitude that a country under constant, massive attack is still offering help to protect its people in the Middle East, the Ukrainians will never hear a thank you from those MAGA idiots. They are nothing but scum, egoists who couldn't care less about others, but whine loudly when it affects them personally.

@noelreports Looking at the recent attacks, they are incredibly precise, this is only possible thanks to Russia. But it also demonstrates the arrogance of the US government. They've had over four years to adapt to the changing battlefield, yet they still think bigger is better. It just doesn't work. By the way, I think the US should now launch a PURL initiative so that the Ukrainian drones can be paid for. ;=) A ground invasion is inevitable, or the neighboring states will be in serious trouble.

@noelreports It's not just a disgrace,it's almost perverse how many people have simply repressed and forgotten the suffering in Ukraine.The media barely cares anymore,it's,if at all,just a footnote. When Ukraine is mentioned,it's usually about the pipeline,Trump,or Zelensky's refusal to give up.Some still haven't grasped that Ukrainians won't surrender,regardless of who the president is.People are stupid and irresponsible,that's the unfortunate reality,and it's absolutely despicable behavior.

@noelreports It's questionable, though, why air defenses in these countries have been so poor so far. It's especially baffling in the UAE, they have a respectable air force with 56 F-16s and 44 Mirages, in addition to their Patriots. Yet almost all attacks got through. Bahrain fared the worst, but even they have 22 F-16s, and their results are more than alarming. It's simply not enough to have things on paper, training is absolutely essential. Nothing has been learned from Ukraine War.

@noelreports There will be no change. People will come to power again who flatter Trump, but who will continue to oppress the Iranian people and perpetuate the same practices behind the scenes. Terrorism is the main business of Iranian leaders, it's how they make their money, more than oil. So why should they give it up just because Trump thinks he can achieve something with all those bombs? He forgets that for every dictator he eliminates, ten more are waiting. Same cluelessness as with Russia.

@noelreports No rational person doubts the military capabilities of the US Army.However,we are already seeing that in the barbaric Iranian attacks,ballistic missiles were less of a problem,most of the damage was caused by drones.This also shows that the neighboring states are completely unprepared.Considering that the UAE has a massive Air Force compared to Ukraine.44 Mirages and 55 F-16s,and not a single missile has been intercepted by them,it's more than embarrassing.Ukraine should help.
