lol good one.
The U.S. is a hornets nest, but Trump still has to think strategically. For all the talk of unleashing all out hell, or some sort of ‘shock and awe’ campaign, remember that Iran is really up against the ropes and getting desperate. Like I said before they even nailed Soleimani, Trump shouldn’t let them troll him into attacks on their soil. It would be exactly what they want at a time like this when they are so desperate to turn the world against the U.S.
Getting Soleimani may seem like an escalation to a lot of people, but it was not an attack in Iran’s sovereign space, and it had a LOT of strategic value, as well as a response that appeared relevant to their recent attacks on our people in Iraq as well as the embassy.
It’s going to be very very hard not to overreact when the time comes. We can let the world see Iran as the bad guy, or we can overreact and take that upon our head. In fact, since we are basically energy independent now, it would hit much of the world harder if Iran went after oil as their target. I think they know this though. This is going to get interesting....
