    I don’t think it can be considered a ‘surprise attack’ when you are attacking someone that you are openly in war with.

    A surprise attack would be when you deliver a massive, unprovoked, decapitation attack against a country that you are actively having productive diplomatic talks with… you know, what trump did on February, 28.

    The US and Saudi Arabia struck “multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites” in eastern Iraq, according to Centcom.

    What the fuck does that even mean? Fascists distort words until they are meaningless. Did they strike civilians in Iraq?

      “Terrorist site” is just the name of the place where the missile strikes, if it’s one of “our” missiles.

    Reporting on this war has gotten so dumb. There have been so many made up peace attempts that the headlines don’t reflect what is going on at all anymore and are just trying to play catch up half the time. I read multiple articles this morning about another possible peace deal and then multiple articles about ongoing attacks.
