The stupid thing about Jackson comparisons to Trump is that his right hand man built the modern American political party while Trump can't even get wonks who share the politics he allegedly has. Boss Ross falling for facile identity politics, you hate to see it.

Technically John McCain started the war when he wrote his hit single 'Bomb Bomb Bomb - Bomb Bomb - Iran!'

Technically the CIA started this war when they got rid of Mosaddegh

Technically in 1935 the King of Persia started the war when he renamed his country "Iran"

Technically Alexander The Great started the war when he invaded the Persian Empire

Has anyone seen or read anything about what missile defense systems were at the bases that were attacked?

I know that stuff is wishful thinking, but I'm curious if they just failed in actual primetime or the U.S. government was stupid enough to station troops on the border of the missile country without missile defense systems.

This says no attempt at missile interception was made so I guess that implies interception capabilities.

Iron Dome supposedly can tell if a missile is going to hit its target and only intervenes if it will (can't go wasting weapons that cost big bucks).

That must have been a blank map without national boundaries, right? I feel like if boundaries were shown you would expect more clustering toward the center of the country. Unless they spread out the dots a little bit to avoid hiding guesses that were for the same point.

The strangest thing to me are all of the guesses in the Mediterranean. People knew enough to not point away from the United States but not enough to find a land mass.

A huge number of people are completely geographically illiterate and a map of the world like that just appears to them to be a bunch of random shapes. It goes beyond thinking Iran might be in southern Europe.

It's a rando military base dude. You wouldn't waste heavy resources on defenses on your 4th base expansion in StarCraft, much less a real one in the middle east.

Since the change to a 12-worker start in Legacy of the Void, a fully saturated fourth base is necessary for macro zergs to support a maxed out midgame army, much less transition to a late game unit composition.
