Imma go out on a limb here and observe that this is not the place for nuanced or genuine debate, and theres still something to be said for analysis requiring more than (checks notes) 280 characters.

There’s some real mental gymnastics on display by those downplaying the role of air and missile defense following Iran’s attack.

Israeli AMD assets seem to have performed quite well. Along with aircraft, it appears to have provided significant damage limitation, escalation…

ICYMI, go check out what the next generation has to say about new and important issues in the nuclear field!
