Question: If we were to 1. Change the name to Barack Obama and 2. Change the date to (say) Jun 21 2016. How many people here would be supporting what the President did? I suspect the attitude would be just a little different.
Also how has this been seen in Tehran? Because their view is the only one that matters. Now I (obviously) don't know what their thinking is, but I suspect it goes something like...We Attacked Them, And They Did Nothing....Again.
When did proportionality become something important when dealing with an enemy?
If the straights of hormuz gets blocked China and the far east will be hurt more than we'll be hurt. Let's sit back and wait to see who gives a damn - who will step up and offer help - before we rush in alone paying the full price with our lives and treasure.
Proportionality is one of the tenets of just war, and iirc, part of geneva/hague
I think money is logarithmic. Back where we peons are, 100 million is worth many lives worth of effort.
It may be a small amount from some purses, but from ours it is a lot.

In mid-May, Diane Feinstein met with the Iranian Foreign Minister, Zarif. Why? To set up a false flag to oust PDJT?
Kerry went to Iran last September.

The Globalists failed to get the Russian war they wanted so they could impeach Trump. Now they have turned to Iran, hoping for the war they want to take back the reins of power.
If Trump did that then he would not be re elected and then where would we be? Just where the anti Americans want us.
