War with Iran

its all over the news

He forced their hand

World War 3 appears to be on the horizon thanks to the doofus in chief.

[Allhallowsday]

Private Bone Spurs figured he would deflect attention away from his own sh!t storm by pulling an Osama Bin Laden moment... and it backfired.

Iran spokesman said they responded Within some U.N. law to the base or bases that the attack against the general guy was launched from.

Conservatives I follow on Twitter were s**ting their pants as the event was unfolding. Once it started to deescalate they started talking tough again

Maybe it wasn't a good idea for the US to start a war.

And they are striking our bases in Iraq tonight, Trump is promising retaliation . . .

It won't be WW3.  I don't see Russia or China sticking their necks out to rescue a pariah state like Iran.
But it could easily be another long, messy, costly Middle Eastern conflict courtesy of the guy who promised to end our "endless wars."
And since Iran is a very old hand at the game of terrorism, with sleeper cells buried all over the Western world, I am fully expecting a blow here in the United States before long.
Proxy wars are one thing, striking at a high tanking government official is another . . . whatever American blood is shed, Trump will deserve a lion's share of the blame.  This whole thing was avoidable.

Will trump back down now or stick to his guns I wonder? If he backs down he makes the US look weak (even if it is a sensible move), if he escalates then he risks another war.

There was a documentry shown in the UK a few months ago about this guy. Didn't catch it myself, but I from what I hear what most people who saw it have said "Why wasn't this guy killed off before this?"

You and many people have thought of the same thing before his campaign started. He was always outspoken like an old cartoon villain that it's eerie to see it in action.

The counter strike....
So, so far, we're told nobody was killed, & Trump is cool with it.......

The rumors....
Iran tipped us off because they didn't want to tick us off, & four of their missiles didn't even make it to the county line..........

[lester1/2jr]

It was apparently the first time ever that a nation state did an offensive attack of any kind on a nuclear power, or something like that.

prediction: the very first question at the first debate is going to be to Trump and its going to be along the lines of "what the Hell were you thinking?"

and wtf is he gonna say??

[Alex]

I am guessing he'll claim that his actions prevented a war, regardless of him making such a thing more likely. After all it is exactly what he said with North Korea.

Alex- this isn't going to be one of his rallies though. whoever the dem candidate is is gonna have one Hell of an openinng

Edit- if iran shot down that plane I am going full neocon.

My Occam's razor based guess it's another s**ty 737

[bob]

both sides of the aisle said the breifing was s**t and that the doofus in chief's legal reasoning were junk
