Haifa is a Left stronghold in Israel, so if that gets "destroyed" all that's left in Israel is Maccabees on meth.
Dubai is, I think, viewed as a latter-day Sodom by the more observant Sunnis, but the rest of the world won't stand for Iran making it a hostage.

If they were trying to offer a face saving way to de-escalate, this would probably be the wrong way to go about it. Makes me wonder if there might be competing forces within their government, one trying to find a way out and one trying to push it further.

This is true, but Iran might be trying to provoke an invasion of Iranian soil. On Iranian soil, Iranian nationalism will defeat an invader.
Turning Iran into "Afghanistan Junior" by crashing its infrastructure is more practical, but has knock-on effects, like: what does the planet do with another Afghanistan. We've already got one Afghanistan and it is a pain in everyone's arse

If they were trying to offer a face saving way to de-escalate, this
would probably be the wrong way to go about it. Makes me wonder if there
might be competing forces within their government, one trying to find a
way out and one trying to push it further.
Or the whole 'face-saving' thing is wishcasting and they simply couldn't hit anything either due to their targeting being crap or because we intercepted it.

Falling to foreign invaders is one thing. Paying homage to them is another. The Greeks didn't last long in Iran before getting the boot from another group of Iranians, the Parthians (professing a weird form of Hellenism). The Arabs did better but they got ousted by Iranian dynasts, too (professing weird forms of Islam).
So maybe our plan is to invade Iran until the Iranians proclaim George Washington as the reincarnated Mahdi.

The Selucids were in place in most of Iran for hundreds of years, and the Perso-Greek culture fusion never really went away. There's no huge issue with homage when your elite is still mixing in with the local bosses and you have a lot of local autonomy.
Same thing with the Muslim conquest. Eventually, the landowners in Persia, mixed in with whatever Islamo/Arab culture they found useful, reasserted themselves as the rulers.

Iran's regime is under tremendous pressure on all fronts, including at home, their various hegemony-seeking ventures are all at risk. But they're not going to abandon any of them.
Their Iraq operation has multiple motives, none of which change today.
Sanctions are just biting worse as time goes on, no relief in sight. Their Iraqi proxy collection may shatter with Soleimani gone, and with popular hostility to their meddling and theft continuing to rise. Their Lebanese allies are under pressure, and Israel strikes at their operatives in Syria with impunity.
The game is young.

hit." A U.S. official said four of the 15 Iranian missiles failed in
flight, @DavidCloudLAT reports:

No. Launching direct attacks on American military bases is a crossed line that demands a strong response. You do not say "no blood no foul" to this one. Take out the nuke program for starters, take out all ballistic missile bases and factories, take out all naval facilities. Then see what the Iranians want to do next.

And, um, folks, the ineffectiveness of Iranian missiles is absolutely unlikely to be "intentional". They cannot "aim" systems like this with the precision implied - "just missing" our bases.
There is no short-term "face saving" at play. There is serious if desperate action to regain the initiative.

The British did not have the ability to bomb Buenos Aires. They barely had the ability to reach the airport at Stanley, and couldn't bomb it with any accuracy. The fact that they hit the runway there was a matter of pure luck.
Of course, I don't know that the British would have bombed Buenos Aires even if they had the capability. I can't think that would have helped the situation out on the islands any.
You know, the thing that you lose when you stop using real aircraft carriers is the ability to operate decent airborne early warning aircraft from your carrier deck, and the British paid dearly for their lack.

Step 1: Ask him who is a good boy.
Step 2: Tell him he is, in fact, the good boy.
Step 3: Be careful he doesn't misunderstand Soleimani as "salami."
Step 4: Rub his belly and give him a treat.
Step 5: Go on about your day with your dog instead of talking about Iran.

Yes. The thing is that the Argentines might have felt differently if there had been attacks upon their home and supported the military had there been.
Sinking a boat, shooting down some planes and fighting it out in the islands kept everything away from them.

U.S. Army Recruiting Command said its received multiple calls and e-mails about the texts that falsely advise recipients to "report to the nearest branch" and warn that the recipient would be "fined and sent to jail for a minimum of 6 years" if they don't reply.
USAREC said it wants to ensure everyone that the texts are false and "were not initiated by this command or the U.S. Army."

Maybe so, maybe not. If those are simple ballistic rockets with no on-board nav and guidance system, and not set-up to get in-flight guidance commands from ground stations, the expected impact area at several hundred miles range may be several miles in diameter.

a month ago, the most promising political dynamic in Iraq was

have been replaced by surging anti-Americanism. The regime in Tehran is
now stronger, the one in Baghdad weaker. Not obvious how we are better

If Iran's networks were intact inside Iraq, they'd have likely launched the attack from there. The fact that they had to resort to missile attacks from Iranian soil is an indicator that we've severely disrupted and/or disabled their militia structure inside Iraq.
I'm pretty sure that they would have preferred to do everything from inside Iraq, so as to maintain deniability and to ensure that it looked like the Iraqis wanted us out. This attack indicates a probable loss of their assets in Iraq, which is interesting.

I'm waiting on back surgery so that maybe I won't have the sciatica and have more mobility. It's ridiculous at my age that I can't work in the yard or stand in the kitchen for more than 15 minutes without back pain.

Show is a very big deal in the Muslim world, particularly because they have control over the media that our media would kill for. They will paint this as a big win and a vengeance for Soleimani but the truth is the lost.

It depends on the missiles that they used. I'm not familiar with the stuff Iran's got. But I suspect that they're older models with poor guidance systems (by modern standards) that consider "landing anywhere in the target city" to be a spectacularly successful hit.
If that's the case, then the results wouldn't be that surprising.
It's also possible that we had anti-missile defenses on-site that shot down anything that might have gotten close to actually hitting the airbase.

No, I don't think so. This is playing perfectly into Trump's hands, if he wants to eliminate the so-called "Quds Force". He can now strip the Iranian air defenses, and then bomb the ever-loving out of the IRGC to his heart's content. I think this was a major screw-up on the Iranian side, and possibly due to some low-level IRGC commander getting ahead of himself.
It's an insane move on the Iranian's part. Ballistic missiles launched from Iranian territory? WTF were they thinking? Trump absolutely has to respond to this, and now he's got justification to do it.
I wonder if the regime really has control over the IRGC, at this point. It's a very serious escalation, and one that's given Trump perfect justification for destroying the IRGC in detail inside Iran. Nuts.

They probably didn't have any other option for striking any US military target on short notice. They can't do airstrikes given our air superiority. They can't send an armored column to hit one of our bases - it would be demolished before it got halfway. Every US Navy ship in the region is ready to shoot first and ask questions later if unidentified small boats come near.

The British did not have the ability to bomb Buenos Aires. They barely had the ability to reach the airport at Stanley, and couldn't bomb it with any accuracy. The fact that they hit the runway there was a matter of pure luck.
Of course, I don't know that the British would have bombed Buenos Aires even if they had the capability. I can't think that would have helped the situation out on the islands any.
You know, the thing that you lose when you stop using real aircraft carriers is the ability to operate decent airborne early warning aircraft from your carrier deck, and the British paid dearly for their lack.
Posted by: Cybersmythe at January
Yes. The thing is that the Argentines might have felt differently if there had been attacks upon their home and supported the military had there been.
Sinking a boat, shooting down some planes and fighting it out in the islands kept everything away from them.
