Nothing I have ever studied or taught has prepared me for this phase. When a sitting U.S. president publicly threatens a civilian capital with annihilation on social media, turning genocidal language into official communication, IR’s clean theories of calibrated violence and political science’s predictive models collapse.
This isn’t strategy — it’s theatre on the brink of mass death, an intent to destroy not just a state but a nation. And our theories still cling to the fiction of rational actors.

30 missiles should not be 'saturation-level' for missile defenses protecting Tel Aviv
➡️ Nominally easy to handle. But yet we observe several impacts = systematic penetration
is not increasing salvo size but trimming the penetration capability of its missiles (efficiency)
Oh, almost forgot: For Israel having "air superiority over Iran", such salvos in broad daylight should not be possible...
