The ruling mullahs of Iran launched a fairly ineffectual mass drone and missile attack on Israel. Almost all were stopped by the Iron Dome and attacks by Israeli aircraft, aided by US and British aircraft. The Israelis will be retaliating, and I suspect the mullahs will be bidding farewell to their navy and to their nuclear weapon research installations. Doubtless the Israelis will be attacking the Hezbollah cats paws of Iran in Lebanon also. Iran better hope that its attacks against Israel remain ineffectual. Israel has a considerable nuclear arsenal and making Tehran a glass shop might be in the cards if the Iranians get unlucky and cause quite a few Israeli civilian casualties. A very dangerous situation, but we can rest easy with blood and guts Biden at the helm.
This is how we know Biden is not at helm either
Biden to speak

Hezbollah in Lebanon will prove to be the escalating problem next door. Pascal Sleiman the head of the Northern Chapter of the Christian Lebanese Forces was killed last week during a “carjacking”. He is another casualty of a long line of opposition leaders which Hezbollah have gotten rid of in the past 2 decades. Anyone who stands in the way of their raison d’état (if I can loosely use that here), which is: the destruction of Israel and placing the entire ME under Islamic rule and law.

If Biden had his wits about him, he could redeem himself in a final act and serve the world well by dropping a bomb on Iran. That would solve a lot of problems.
Correction: Iranian people are innocent- I should have written: drop a bomb on the Iranian Presidential Palace whilst the Mullahs are in-house. With like a “Eid-el-Fitr Mubarak!” emblazoned in neon lights after some fireworks.
I haven’t looked too deeply into it yet, but didn’t those drones have to fly over other countries’ airspaces(Iraq, Jordan, maybe even Saudi Arabia or Turkey)to hit Israel? They had no problems with this violation? If drones flew over countries that are supposedly our allies and they made no effort to stop them, we need to look long and hard at whom we continue to support with foreign aid.
Edward:
The Jordanians reported a lot of shoot-downs. Haven’t heard from the Saudis and I don’t think an overfly of Turkey was involved.
“…didn’t those drones have to fly over other countries’ airspaces(Iraq, Jordan, maybe even Saudi Arabia or Turkey)…”
Sshhhh…. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain….
Hmm… I stand corrected. It seems Jordan DID intercept some of the barrage. …and now Iran and Palestinians are mad at them.
Go figure.
A Jordanian princess-pilot did some of the intercepting apparently.
