I still remember the international response. There were two kinds. The “we’re here for you big guy, whatever you need,” and the “I swear I had nothing to do with it.” Both of which had strong nervous laughter subtext. Everybody immediately remembered what happened the last time somebody sucker punched America and it didn’t go well for Japan.
Man, the US inevitably failing to secure their poorly defined objective is very different from Iran not getting hurt. Thousands are dead. An immense amount of infrastructure has been destroyed.
Iran has not meaningfully hurt the US.
It’s one thing to observe that the current US leadership huffed a bit too much of their own propaganda and forgot that allies have actually been a big reason previous stuff has gone well, and another to act like Iran is in a perfectly fine place with the current situation.
We were all a little touchy, to be fair.

you can’t sucker punch yourself.
tHe ‘nervous laughter’ would be about what countries where a target for the scumbags with this excuse.

That’s such a hilariously bad take.
