Beau of The Fifth Column

A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.

Major combat operations is a term I would have preferred not to hear.

During his address, he listed off U.S.

targets, including the destruction of their Navy and missile production capabilities.

He also encouraged their military to surrender in exchange for immunity.

Then he closed by encouraging the Iranian people to overthrow their government, saying, Trump also told the country to expect American casualties.

If there is a bit of good news in this, the early indications are that Trump doesn't intend on putting substantial boots on the ground, if any.

If the current government in Iran falls, it's unclear what kind of government would rise in its place.

It's worth noting that this operation coincided with several anti-government protests at universities.

As the night went on, it became harder and harder to get direct information from within Iran as communication sites went down or were hit.

The U.S.

is attacking Iran, according to AP.

By the looks of things, this will be going on for a while.

The U.S.

obtaining air superiority is kind of a given.

The actual plan isn't.

We'll keep you updated.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Belle again.
