    Some of the videos of the incoming ballistic missiles into Tel Aviv are surreal. Look like something out of a sci-fi show.

    I would have thought the Iranians would do better than this. What a total embarrassment after decades of sabre-rattling.

    Corruption does not a competent military make. Iran is basically Russia without the population or the head start that being the successor to the Soviet Union gave them. Maverick had no problem commandeering one of their F-14s because they haven't been upgraded since he flew them in the first movie. Meanwhile Israel fields F-15s with upgraded avionics and brand new F-35s.

    They have spent too much time focusing on keeping their own people in line for the past five decades that they were basically never prepared for actual war— especially against something like Israel who could scorch every country in the Middle East at once.

    The only country that could fuck Israel in that region is Turkey, which is far and away the most powerful country in the ME, but they won't. Iran is just a shitshow of incompetence that leaned into their own revolutionary bullshit instead of governance. Theocracies never work.

    The history around Istanbul alone is insane. It's really an awesome place to travel even with the fucked the government. I should have come back with a hair transplant.

    Almost, but my Greek barber talked me out of it. I feel like he had other motivations than my hair care.
