This war isn't just "Israel's war."
It's a war to protect your lifestyle here, even if you're too dense to see it - at least until you get caught up in some Iranian backed dirty bomb fallout delivered by suicidal zealots. Let's just help vote in the dems again and give those zealots easy passage into our interior.

Have never understood the fascination so much of the nation has with the New York Times.

When it is merely a money losing, consistently leftist, POS.

One of the last large, quality news organizations. Biased, yes, but a real attempt is made to be factual.

You tirading against them is a great indication of their quality.

Dummy....if the paper is biased....there is not a real attempt to be facual.

Less than a week from the strike, and all these absurd predictions.

AZB moving troops to the border - these people can fight too - add them to the Kurds:

The airport in Nakhchivan sustained a direct hit and Ilham Aliyev said the strike would not go unanswered Social Media

The war in the Middle East has spilled over Iran's northern border, with Azerbaijan saying Iranian drones struck its Nakhchivan exclave on Thursday.

The airport terminal was hit, a drone exploded near a school, injuring civilians, and another drone was shot down.

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev condemned the incident as an "act of terror", demanded an explanation and apology from Tehran, while placing Baku's armed forces on high alert.

He also touched on Iran's ethnic Azerbaijani population - a sensitive subject for Tehran.

Iran denies any role in Thursday's strikes and has suggested the attack may have been an Israeli falseflag operation.

Azerbaijan, a small but strategically important Caspian country bordering Russia, Iran, Armenia and Georgia, is now being pulled closer to the heart of a much bigger confrontation.

Nakhchivan is an isolated Azerbaijani territory bordering Iran, Turkey and Armenia, making it particularly exposed during times of conflict.

The drones triggered Aliyev's strongest public attack on Tehran since he took office.

He said the Iranian forces behind the strike were "ugly, cowardly and disgusting" - an unusually blunt personal insult for a head of state.

But his anger went beyond words, saying that "independent Azerbaijan is a place of hope for Azerbaijanis living in Iran".

Baku has long avoided this line because of how sensitive it is for Tehran.
