   US Consulate. That is the local branch of the Ace Tomato Company.

   I have to say. So?

   It looks good on camera but what is it really accomplishing? All the people are gone or at least most are. So, yes they are maybe hitting some building or infrastructure but regardless of what the media say, logic says, So What.

   It’s not helping iran in any shape or form that I can see. They aren’t hurting our logistics, personnel, equipment, degrading our abilities in any meaningful way. I may be wrong but to me it’s just theatrics for the propaganda machine.

      Just a couple of points of order. This could have just as easily have been a drone launched by the Iraqi Resistance instead of Iran itself. This one explosion is not going to win the war as you say, but in total, the effect of the revived insurgency and the new capabilities they are displaying is enough to force at least the partial abandonment of our assets in Iraq. The situation is such that the Iraqi Government has blessed these attacks and essentially entered the war on the side of Iran.
      This particular installation in Erbil was likely the nerve center of any plan to stampede the Kurds into invading Iran for us and if it is completely out of action, it is worth the cost of a small drone to make sure it stays that way. It should be noted that the US is no longer broadcasting that strategy, even though it was floated as a lifeline in the first week of all this winning. I’m also not certain that it is fully abandoned. It should be assumed that the local resistance is not stupid and can tell if it is or not. If it was empty they would have walked into it, salvaged intel if possible, and simply burned it down. Since this video is in the dark, we don’t know what they targeted or how important it was. It may well have been SATCOM antenna for whoever is left there, who knows.

   But Trump said Iran was out of drones and missiles?! Trump said that Iran was begging for a peace deal?!

      Yes, unfortunately I think he forgets that most of the people who hear him can no longer think for themselves and definitely have no critical thinking skills.
      Any idiot would know that it would be almost impossible for us to bomb ALL their drones and missiles out of existence. The real question is what affect can the remaining missiles really have. From what I see, nothing more than harassment potential. Now is that costly to us and other, most definitely but still not really consequential in the big picture.
      Now I’m not saying I agree with what has been done. I think we should keep our butts at home BUT it does get real tiring watching iran attack us over the years with no real consequences. I do really dislike that we’re doing it “with” israel though. I don’t think it will end well because of that fact alone. No trust from me to them that they won’t stab us in the back yet again. IMHO
      And no I’m not anti-semetic I just have no trust in the “state” of israel. Two totally separate things
