The page also says Iranian attack failed because the damage wasn’t significant. Like, they were talking on CNN about Iran warning everyone beforehand and not sending everything at once to limit damage.

    You know, this makes me think, would they have told us if one of those hypersonic missiles hit a parked F-35? They claim that the damage to the air bases that were hit was “minimal” but I’m not so sure I believe that.

      would they have told us if one of those hypersonic missiles hit a parked F-35?

      NPR lead in with the story by claiming “Iran’s bombs killed a 7-year-old child”. Not so much as a whisper of where they actually landed, before the announcer proudly declared 98% of the rockets were deflected by air defenses thanks to Rishi Sunak’s UK Air Force.

      These news stories are migrating from “puzzle pieces I have to assemble into something resembling the truth” to “pure shadows-on-the-wall manufactured gibberish”. Just like with the air base bombing in Jordan, I’m at an absolute loss as to what’s actually happening. Its just headline gore and a drum beat to war that’s practically deafening.
