1. Uh-oh

2. So it begins

3. Nothing… ever… happens?

4. Cool cool cool

5. Can we not go one week without stirring up the shit anymore?

6. This seems like among the best developments we could ask for right now. A lacklustre retaliatory attack by Iran at a military base in Iraq rather than a substantial direct attack on Israel.

   Posturing and something they can claim as a victory with low expectation of punishment. Maybe someone wiser will correct me, though.

7. It was theorized that Iran would direct it’s proxies in Iraq to attack American bases in order to tie up American resources that might otherwise be used to blunt the upcoming Iranian attack on Israel. Hopefully no one died.

   Biden also doesn’t have much to lose election wise so, he might have a heavier hand with any response to these attacks by these proxy groups. I would hope no one died in this attack or any upcoming ones.

8. Whats interesting to note is that the exact type of rocket is named but not a source for said rocket. If its Katyusha then it wouldnt be from people outside of Iraq right? I’ve heard they need to be relatively close to the target.

9. Only two [Katyusha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher) rockets, while an attack, doesn’t really seem overwhelming. It only takes one to kill an American soldier though, and the report states rockets landed inside the base. Hoping that isn’t the case.

10. Could we fucking **not**

11. Mondays, am I right?

    Why is cruelty and hate the language of man when we have the capacity to choose love and cooperation?

12. From where? I didn’t see it in the article

13. This feels very Hunger Games to me all of a sudden.

14. Isn’t this a relatively regular occurrence? I doubt if it’s related to the planned Iranian attack on Israel . Don’t think Iran wants to poke the bear.

15. Can

16. What the hell are we even doing there????
