Why are they telling them beforehand. Its like they need to be seen doing something but dont actually want to do it.

Yeah tell them 30 secs before the first bombs drop for crying out loud. We need to stop playing by the rules to a point.

They shouldn't give any warning like they're given no warning

 

[SPG]

No but 30 seconds brings more chaos to the system.. Ooo eck... ooo eck what to do.

Surely this was a great excuse to take out Iran's problematic done manufacturing. Now they will just relocate before the strikes?

No fan of Biden but could be a good ploy rather than the emotive/reactive response

Sow significant fear in their ranks, declare targets, take it slowly to max the tension and then do something surprising.

That looks good, might have to give that series a try

Surprisingly I think it`s quite a measured response so far and very un American, which makes me think something else is at play somewhere.

Maybe its because they have an adult as the CIC?

I'm meant to be going to Saudi on the 9th, it's been fun...

An adult who really should be in a care home not the White House

Because he hasn’t erased Iran from the map in response to a small scale attack on a US base? There is no need to escalate the middle east right now and I for one am glad the US are taking their time and seem to be looking for a measured response.

You have seen him right ?

It already escalated when Iran realised they can keep pushing boundaries because Joe is too afraid to project America's actual might

US and UK strikes fail to slow Houthi attacks

So you would see America essentially go to war with Iran over this? Given the recent ‘success’ of American military interventions can you see why they maybe reluctant to commit themselves to another?
