'Not Proportionate': Trump Explains Why He Halted Air Strikes Against Iran

I call B.S.!

The campaign season is on for 2020, so, it's mostly if not a completely political decision.

If it was about 'proportionate', then, I'm 100% certain that with Iran being such a big country and being a target-rich country, that there are hundreds of targets in that country that would have been "proportionate" for striking without human collateral damage.

I am curious. Please suggest something. I can only think of “transformer farms” or some such as guaranteed to cause no loss of life, and they are probably not worth the cost of the ordnance to blow them up.

People on this thread have mentioned “nuclear facilities” which, I would imagine are several hundred people at each. Creating a bunch of Chernobyl sites in Iran doesn’t sound like a great idea, either.

I am glad Trump is in charge. At least there is a chance that the right action will be taken at the right time.

The last so-called “President” we had wasn’t even an American, and his administration acted just like that was the case.
