@ripplebrain · Mar 1, 4:55 PM · 616.2K viewsIn the lead up to this operation, which has been in the works for weeks, US planners correctly understood that our bases in the region are indefensible. They decided to evacuate them, but there are tens of thousands of American service members in the Middle East. What do you do with them? You can't send your entire force back home in the middle of the largest military confrontation in years. Airlifting everyone to a country out of range of Iranian missiles, like Egypt or Turkey, would create an unacceptable amount of lag time for restaffing the bases. Dumping them in Israel, Iran's largest target, isn't an option. So they put them in hotels and apartments within driving distance of the bases. And this is the result. | [Quoting @ErrolTostigson]: Is Iran retarded? What does crashing drones into random buildings achieve? They’re really not helping their cause lashing out at random gulf countries. |
