But we are where we are, and where we are is a turning point.
Although this conflict is dreadful to watch, I support Israel's action and am left open mouthed at the IAF and Mossad's execution.
I absolutely believe Iran is close to breaking out, and that there is no way it's current leadership should ever be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. The country is led by sh!ts.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if B2s are being loaded at Whiteman right now.
Logic would suggest once Iranian Air Defences are fully suppressed, and a ballistic missile threat to US assets in the region is contained, then you send in the USAF to do what the IAF can't.
Repeatedly hit Fordow, the new complex to the South and other sites to destroy the centrifuge halls and entomb them.
Yes, it'll be messy, frightening and will change Middle East geopolitics - but what's the alternative?
A negotiated de-escalation and yet more meaningless promises from the Iranian regime?
I don't think so.
