“Sanctions alone will not make them stop.”

You want us to go to war on behalf of Saudi Arabia?

Why is the dictatorship of Saudi Arabia preferable to the dictatorship of Iran? Why should US young people be sent to die for either of these quarreling Islamofascist states?

Nope. The Saudis need to handle it.

But every time Trump makes a statement like that, it encourages the Iranian regime to continue doing as they please.

No one is talking about an invasion. Not even Little Linda Grahamnesty.

What is being worked on is what level of retaliation is to be executed. Graham and Bolton and other war hawks wanted President Trump to aggressively attack Iran after the drone downing.

President Trump said no. I’m not going to kill hundreds of Iranians over a single piece of hardware. The war hawks say see we told you so!

What the hawks do not realize is, President Trumps unwillingness to attack Iran with prejudice over a single drone strengthens his hand in punishing them later when they go way over the line.

The attack in Saudi Arabia is different. This was an Iranian shot across the bow which has worldwide economic implications.

Yes, thanks to President Trump we are energy independent but, oil is a worldwide commodity. If Iran is allowed to attack, destroy, and pirate tankers at will this affects every country, every industry, every household, worldwide.
This cannot be allowed to stand.

This attack demands a strong and intimidating response.
And, a response will come. Just a matter of when. Not if.

Exactly. I’ve been mixing it up with war hakes all over this thread. For God’s sake some of them are chomping on the bit for a war with Iran.
