I see no reason for Trump to retaliate now, and I’m sure that was by design.

As I always say, Trump is much smarter than me, and I can only reverse engineer his actions.

Iran has “avenged” Suleimani and warned us to not retaliate for their retaliation.

If I’m right, Trump will use the fact that there were no American casualties as the reason he won’t retaliate.

In the past few days, Trump has emphasized that we will protect AMERICANS.

The Iraqis are making noises that we should leave.

It’s very likely that there WEREN’T Iraqis casualties, but it’s politically advantageous for the Iraqis to say that there were.

Iran faked most of the attack

Well, on that note I think it is safe for me to take myself off to bed.

The fireworks is over, for now.

Good night all!
