Because they’ve done nothing.
Years and years and years of provocation and they’ve done nothing
Here we are the next morning and they’ve still done nothing
Discussion
Do you still think they have done nothing to Israel?
What have they done?
Anything comparable?
You said they would do "nothing". Israel certainly did more damage, but to say Iran had a nothing burger response is certainly not accurate in my opinion, and that was your original point.
What exactly did Iran do?
How many missiles did they fire, how many got through?
Iran got a hit on a research center, congrats. Thats not “nothing,” but it’s essentially nothing, particularly compared to what israel was able to do.
Like if you want to be obnoxious and say “something isn’t nothing,” you do you. But when something is virtually nothing, then it’s practically nothing, and that’s all that matters.
Yes, "nothing" has a clear definition, but even taking your generous interpretation and discounting the Israeli dead and wounded, billions in economic and military costs etc...
Why would Trump be pressing so hard for a ceasefire if Iran cannot do anything? Seriously what's the downside to just letting Israel do whatever they want and fully destroy Iran or at a minimum topple the regime?
What’s the downside to destroying a country and their government?
Iraq
Libya
Syria
Lebanon
You break things they don’t repair easily
Also, fuck israel
94% shot down.
I largely agree with you, but for the sake of discussion, what about the possibility that there is an assymetric aspect to this, like with the US vs Afghanistan/Vietnam where big wins are not necessary to atritte over time the financial or political resiliency of Israel. As in, Iran can "afford" to get bombed, but Israel, as a developed integrated nation cannot afford it's airports, ports, economy shut down that long.
I’d love to see a blockade of israel and to have that parasitic country take some pain.
Unfortunately the US is controlled by them and any prolonged pain would simply mean the US sends them more money
Fuck israel
