Obviously the war already started. The perpetual children from the 60s, however, “Imagine” that if Iran gives a war, no one should go. Aside from some airy-fairy wishful thinking, the songs didn’t give any hint to the consequences.

Whenever someone says “we need to bring the troops home,” they should also say “and leave the Iraqi people to the horrific fate that awaits them.”
Because, besides great music, and sticking it to the old folk, what the boomer generation did was forced a withdrawal of Vietnam: that resulted in over a million deaths at the hands of the North Vietnamese. (plus two million more in concentration camps… er,… I mean “re-education camps”.)
Now they want to pull the same trick again.

“…a lot of MiG-29M/M2 jets was sold to Syria as well. They are being sold abroad for the first time and are similar in their technical specifications to the MiG-35 model Russia is now offering India. The total value of the contract for the MiG-31 and MiG-29M/M2 aircraft is estimated at $1 billion.”
The paper adds that this amount raises questions, noting the likelihood that the deal is being financed by Iran as a back-door purchase….
