Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Personally I think Iran kinda spoiled ever getting to complain about foul play involving foreign embassies, what I'm more interested in here is how far the US is gonna go in retaliation, because obviously they're gonna do something here, I'm just wondering how much it'll be and in what form.

Personally if I was making the call, I'd sweep the IDF out of Gaza altogether and relegate them to "defensive line duty", or more accurately "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH ANYTHING YOU GENOCIDAL MORONS.", and then kill two birds with an army of drones, Iran just invited destruction onto all of their war material production shit and Russia is probably shitting bricks that their entire reserve strategy just got exposed to causus belli.

Russia is gleefully rubbing their hands because they know the US public can literally only keep one thought in their heads at once and this grantees political apathy towards the Russian invasion.

Maybe not though. Russia needs all the drones they can get from Iran. Israel making Iran focus on them negates part of the supply support Russia requires for Ukraine.

The only thing required for Russia to win is the US to continue not sending aid.

Iran and China are no longer necessary. Russia's wartime economy is in full swing.

Iran and China are 100% necessary. That's where Russia is getting components from. Russia mostly doing final assembly. Reports nearly weekly bring up Chinese and even US made components being found in Russian equipment.
