Prof. Robert Pape:
"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".

03.03.2026 06:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Monday that the United States faced an "imminent threat" from Iran - but only if Iran was first attacked by Israel. "The imminent threat was that we knew if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded," Rubio told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he was briefing lawmakers.
So Rubio said we had to bomb Iran bc Israel was about to and all hell would then break loose.
If only there were some big, powerful country that could have stopped Israel.

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet.
This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.
Really starting to get the vibe this is a Franz Ferdinand level of historical system collapse that these bumblechuds have kicked off but they don’t know it yet
