Iran’s retaliation against Israel may have been theater, but that may be all Iran wanted it to be. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
Not only is Dmitry Belik a proven Russian patriot by virtue of the role that he played in Sevastopol’s reunification with Russia, but he’s also a member of the Duma’s International Affairs Committee, thus meaning that his motivations in sharing this theory are above any suspicions.
Iran’s retaliation against Israel is being heatedly debated on social media between those who believe that it was a dud and those who think that it left the self-professed Jewish State dumbfounded. Amidst this debate, Duma member Dmitry Belik – whose claim to fame was helping Sevastopol reunify with Russia when he briefly served as the region’s acting head in spring 2014 – described last weekend’s event as a “beautiful theatrical production” according to publicly financed Russian international media RIA.
He speculated that there was “A simple ‘agreement’, because high-ranking political figures should not ignore some actions of unfriendly countries, therefore, they have to respond.” Belik then added that “there are no photos or video evidence on the Internet” to back up claims of Iran having supposedly inflicted serious damage on Israel’s military bases. He then concluded that “Everything we see now…is a planned scenario of ‘revenge’.”
The introduction of this interpretation into the global information ecosystem coincided with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian revealing that “We [Iranian authorities] notified the neighboring countries [about the start of the attack on Israel] 72 hours before the attack.” This development lent credence to Belik’s theory about Saturday night’s strikes simply being a “beautiful theatrical production” brought about by an “agreement” to stage this “planned scenario of ‘revenge’.”
And to learn where the AAA batteries are for the next round.
Some still stuck back in 1981 want a strike similar to that due to the mythical Iran nooklar (h/t-Shrub) bomb.
I love the enemedia bragging about jets shooting down missiles as the cost just isn’t worth it compared to a drone.
Too many demographics, too much delusion, this is why we can’t have nice things.
Didn’t JFK disapprove of the indispensable having a nooklar program?
Hmm…so hmm.
