Yes

2020-01-08 06:41:53 UTC  

Well, depends on where they launched them from

2020-01-08 06:41:55 UTC  

I need a map

2020-01-08 06:42:36 UTC  

what is the meaning of "failed" though? Did not hit target or did not explode?

2020-01-08 06:43:08 UTC  

had chuck norris been there he'd punched them rockets away

2020-01-08 06:50:29 UTC  

No way they could identify the kill count

2020-01-08 06:50:41 UTC  

Ackshually

2020-01-08 06:50:49 UTC

The US isn't going to hide 80 deaths very easily

2020-01-08 06:51:25 UTC

Trump drones Suleimani.

Iran then has to retaliate. If they don't, they look weak and Iranian Revolution II: Electric Boogaloo kicks off.

Iran also knows that if they kill any American soldiers, America will bomb the shit out of them.

So they have to retaliate in a manner substantial enough to save face, but somehow without killing any Americans.

What could possibly be a better way of doing so than launching over a dozen ballistic missiles at an American base, but either intentionally missing by a large enough margin to ensure that no one is hurt or making your preparations so blatantly obvious that American forces are alerted with more than enough spare time to take cover?

Apparently the soldiers at al Asad received a warning of the attack well before it occurred, which makes this idea seem even more plausible.

Also, look at Trump and Iran's rhetoric. Trump stresses that he's not interested in a regime change operation, tacitly letting the Iranians know they don't actually need to start a war for their survival. Iran goes on at length about how their actions are "in self-defense" and that "their assault has concluded" after the attack to let America know there's no need for further action.

Both sides can claim victory, Iran by claiming that they hit America back and threatened to attack further, and Trump by waving away the attack as a colossal failure not even deserving a response. And so, both sides step back from the ledge without looking weak.

It just all seems like too much of a coincidence. The only other alternative is that Iran is so phenomenally incompetent that they can launch over a dozen ballistic missiles at a major American military base and cause precisely zero casualties.

for some reason, i imagined a bunch of canadians on that flight

2020-01-08 07:28:05 UTC  

Canadians or Iranian-canadians?

2020-01-08 07:28:17 UTC  

idk

2020-01-08 07:28:20 UTC  

either

2020-01-08 07:28:31 UTC  

Also, odd that it was headed to Ukraine but had no Ukrainians

2020-01-08 07:28:37 UTC  

aside from the staff

2020-01-08 07:28:54 UTC  

I wonder what Trudeau has to say

2020-01-08 07:29:06 UTC  

If you fly, gravity wins.

2020-01-08 08:13:32 UTC  

I was like you guys once, really concerned about what Trudeau would say

2020-01-08 08:15:44 UTC  

"if you bomb your enemies, they win" -trudeau probably

2020-01-08 08:16:11 UTC  

if you lose ww3, (((they))) win

2020-01-08 08:50:10 UTC
