So I've heard Iran only has 2-3,000 missiles capable of the necessary range to attack Israel? Israel has also likely destroyed at least some of the stockpile?

What is the goal of these small barrages if only a few missile are destined to get through? Is it expected that Israel has an even shorter supply of anti-air missiles?

I would think that larger volleys including drones would cause more damage by overwhelming the AA defenses.

I guess, what do you think the goal of these small volleys into Israel actually is?

The worst you'll see is the "I can't believe people are cheering for Iran" hasbara.

I'm seeing so much of this lately and it's just not hitting lol. "I can't believe how much people have to twist themselves into pretzels to support Iran just because they hate jews"

gigachad-hd Shouldn'ta bombed Iran, huh?

"No Kings" protests cancelled statewide in Minnesota, citing the shooting of 2 state lawmakers earlier today. Suspect allegedly had a car full of "No Kings" fliers and police are begging protestors not to show up today.

This is bizarre.

"Inside the suspect's vehicle was a manifesto that identified "many lawmakers and other officials," including Hortman and Hoffman."

Only one suspect at this time.

Anything is possible lol

All we have is that suspect is described as wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. He is being described as "possibly impersonating" a cop.

Sorry in advance, I'm ADHDing on this comment lol

We can't know for sure until the suspect is caught. To me, it seems like a far-right politically motivated assassination because both victims were democrats. But it seems a bit random.

Melissa Hortman, is the leader of her party in the split 67-67 state house and is an advocate for pro-choice, commuter rail, and solar energy initiatives. She seemingly holds a good amount of political power as far as state politics go.

John Hoffman is a previous minority whip in the state senate and chairs the Human Services Committee. Shooting him seems a bit random from the information I can gather. The suspect would've had to drive maybe 10 miles between shootings.
