Aside from a few members of the IRGC, everybody who has been paying attention for the past 40 years is celebrating.

Taking out both Maduro and Khomeini over the course of a few months without a single American or Israeli casualty is peak.

There were allegedly 7 US personnel injured during the Maduro raid.

Decapitation airstrikes have been possible for decades. I suppose now we find out whether that was a good idea or not. Slightly surprised the Iran strike worked, if you remember the hunts for Saddam and Bin Laden.

    We didn't have Project Maven 25 years ago, and our leadership in the early 2000s were committed to boots-on-the-ground nation-building due to the afterglow of the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia.
