An objective view of the strategy and tactics employed in the strikes.

The video is neither pro or con, just objective, and does talk about the possibility of blowback.

If you are interested in a clear picture of events, instead of scattered and often conflicting reports, here is a good place to start.

Furthermore, we had agreements with Iran which tRump ripped to shreds. There was no reason whatsoever to attack Iran, other than to distract from the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES.

Over Iran. When had that too in Afghanistan the whole time. It's the same old shit, it's like a multilevel marketing, it comes back every twenty years for the next generation of suckers.
