I’m not sure the Iranians care about our warnings, our protests and our strong statements. They don’t seem impressed enough to deter their aggressive acts.

They will only get the message when we do something that sends an unmistakably clear message.

And nevertheless, people will complain that we pulled the trigger too hard on those poor people who were just doing what they were told - the 'they're not bad people, just trying to get along...'

I'd like to prescribe band-aids for their cardiac muscles - you know, the bleeding-heart crowd.

Soleimani wasn’t enough of a hint?

It’s time to consider the possibility that Iran is trying to get us to start a shooting engagement. Strategically, Iran is running on fumes. The IRGC is trying to provoke a fight so that they remain the central political power within Iran — cuz we aren’t foolish enough to invade.

The leftists in America love the way Iran and China are and defend the regimes every step of the way.

I wonder if our military has been so infested with liberal filth they won’t even defend themselves.
Blow the enemy out of the sky or water or wherever.

Somewhere, in the Navy or the NSC, it was realized that a warning stated in terms of a specific standoff distance is more effective and easier to enforce than a warning that does not state a specific distance. If the US and Iran are to trade blows, at least it will be because that is what both parties intend.
