It’s more likely that they are being sent because they are trained to operate THAAD and sending them is more efficient than training IDF troops to operate it.
Iran launched missiles at US bases in Iraq a few years ago with very little in the way of retaliation.
Operating the anti ballistic missile aystem that’s being sent.

That you think there would be outrage highlights your lack of understanding.
International waters are just so. It’s only a problem when a country decides to try and restrict access to international waters, and one way to show that this decision is not accepted is to sail warships through it.
Can you point out the part of the geneva conventions that make using incendiary weapons against military targets in non civilian areas a war crime?
Use of incendiary weapons against military targets is not a war crime unless in an area where civilians are present.
Of course they do, it’s main use is smoke generation.
Fair enough, I can see how that might be beneficial.
Ok fair enough, I see how that would be a win.
Is it really a win for LLMs if the study found no significant difference between those using it as a tutor and those not?
Read the comment you originally replied to and then come back and tell me why we’re not starting at 12.

8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.
There would never have been any peace treaty, the allies had already agreed that axis surrender must be unconditional.
Japan having one condition would not have matteted, because the allies were not interested in a conditional surrender.
If you ignore the many examples throughout history of more violence being the solution to violence, perhaps you may have a point.
I can go on now?
Everybody always gets hung up on the nukes but I never see anyone complaining about the firebombing which killed many times more people (or the Japanese and their many attempts at biological warfare).
War is inherently bad, and using powerful weapons to end it sooner is the pragmatic and often moral choice. Would you have preferred that the allies invaded Japan, causing millions more to die? Or perhaps simply blocade Japan, causing millions more to die? It’s easy to be moralistic when you don’t have to make decisions that have millions of lives hanging on them.
I’m not sure what part of my comment you took to mean I thought anything pleasant about the Ottoman empire but cool thanks for the info?
Yeah I think that’s why Iran attacked the US base (might have been multiple, I can’t really remember) iirc.
I think a big part of why the US didn’t respond is that a) they took out Soleimani first and b) an Iranian air defence battery, on high alert expecting US retaliation, immediatley shot down a passenger jet.
The airliner being downed really took the sting out of it, kind of like someone swinging at you, barely connecting, and then immediately punching themselves in the dick.
