Last night somebody attacked Iran's main Air Force base. This is the base that flys out the equipment to the Houthi rebels in Yemen. This base has the state of the art Russian radar and surface to air missiles systems and the Iranians never saw anything.

I think I know who made that hit. The only guy who could get past state-of-the-art radar and SAM systems is Hunter Biden.

Does Yemen even have an army? Can't imagine how long a "war" with Yemen would last

Can't imagine how long a "war" with Yemen would last Hard to say. We proved in Vietnam and Afghanistan that even against grossly overmatched opponents we can make a war last for decades. |

How do you win a war with them? Overthrow and occupy their country? Have free and fair elections?
