“To _____________, it’s time to strike Iran.”
Or, you know… just let the protests do their thing… Something real is happening there, and intervening in it would cause much worse problems down the road.
“Russia has invaded Ukraine, in unacceptable violation of international law. We have been supplying them with weapons to avoid being directly part of the war. However, Iran has been supplying Russia with weapons. That makes them directly part of the war and so we should invade them, in totally acceptable violation of international law.”
What abhorrent ghouls. Hey, there’s a whole thing right now where Iranian women are sick of being oppressed and trying to do something about it. You know what would help? Bombing them! That made things so much better in all the other nearby countries.
You probably remember “Real men go to Tehran” from around the time of the Iraq War.
Yes. With the usual unstated disclaimer that sons of powerful Republicans were exempted.
Oh, so these women all work in the suicide drone factories and even clandestine sabotage would put them out of much needed job?
Oh yeah, America has a tremendous record of sabotaging things very precisely, without civilian casualties or escalation or unfortunate political consequences. Anyway I don’t know why you’re bringing up special ops as some kind of gotcha when the article explicitly calls for targeted military strikes.
Sheesh. These people openly want war with whatever excuse, but heaven forbid I miss a purely theoretical way James Bond could pull things off instead. 
Are the drones Iranian made?
How many drones has Russia stockpiled? How are they being delivered to the launch sites? Are they currently being manufactured? Do they have enough parts and machinery to manufacture more? Can they be bribed not to supply more? Can anti aircraft defenses be deployed in time, and in sufficient quantities to Ukraine to blunt this assault? All questions that should be answered, before air strikes.
Obviously, if Iran delivered 10,000 drones to Russia, and those are all sitting in Russian warehouses, there’s really not much that military strikes on Iran can actually do. But if it’s a continuing investment in Russian imperialism… well…
Maybe these drones have a pre-set kill limit, and with enough manpower, Zelensky can send wave after wave…
Ukraine is using Turkish drones. Does that justify Russian air strikes on Istanbul?
No. Fuck that.
How do they know?
How is this “legitimacy” measured?
Yes, the pseudo-legalistic word salad is very 1991
Truth, Liberty and The American Way?
Oh, but there is money to be made there
Can you say “Kessler Syndrome?” Practice, because if this happens, we’ll need it.
