Honestly this debate probably slightly hurts Kamala, just by virtue of people having to watch her more. She didn’t do a great job of rebutting Trump. Her response to him just lying his ass off the whole time just wasn’t sharp enough, and there was so little substance in her responses - it’s just not going to move the needle for anyone. My lib boyfriend just gave up watching it after 30 minutes or so and was laughing at Trump half the time. It just made me depressed and less interested in giving a fuck about this election.
If I’m in the Iranian war room I’m pounding my fist on the table right now demanding a pre-emptive strike. They just hit the airbases they’re going to have to launch an attack from, roll out some missiles and hit them again when the aircraft are fueling up and getting ready to go. Then follow it up with a wave of those drones once their air assets are indisposed. That’s how you do deterrence and shut down the escalation ladder.
