Israeli intelligence Mountainguy Jun 2025 #3

And another one who has no idea of what they're talking about. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2025 #7
I was just saying it's simple for modern countries, and it's certainly no rocket science. n/t Hellbound Hellhound Jun 2025 #8
I didn't mean you, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2025 #9

It really is incredible. Israel outplayed Iran here with years of planning Arazi Jun 2025 #46
You are right, ForgedCrank Jun 2025 #51
Yup. Even Jordan is on Team Israel Arazi Jun 2025 #57
If I had ForgedCrank Jun 2025 #62

Of course there's always someone next in line, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2025 #48
Time is right. But the idea that a coountry in that region, Israel, Iran, Arabia... brush Jun 2025 #50
It may be far fetched to our western thinking, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2025 #53

Hamas? The terrorists hiding in caves? Who's talking about them? brush Jun 2025 #91
I sure hope we don't have to ever find out, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2025 #61
Iran won't fire a nuclear ballistic missle into Israel Mosby Jun 2025 #72
