1/ Why are Israelis dazed and confused? Because Iran demonstrated instrumental rationality. The Iranians, possessing limited capabilities, mounted an operation both psychological and kinetic. They ties Israel in knots for over a week. Then they fired. --->
2/ Their barrage was almost entirely intercepted. This was due to the help of Israel's allies. But this help came with a price. These allies, led by the US, have told Israel that this is not a "war" and that Israel must not reatalliate. Why is this important? --->
@ori_goldberg This is an unbelievably stupid thread. Israelis are dazed & confused because Iran demonstrated instrumental rationality? Anti-Iran hawks say daily that Iran must be punished for all sorts of unwanted actions to deter such behavior precisely because Iran is seen as rational.
@ori_goldberg You're the only person who could characterize a failed attack as being successful.
@ori_goldberg You're right, of course. The amount of Ziorrhea and frothy mouthed sniveling in response to your assessment is evidence of that.
