If Trump doesn’t strike Iran, the Iranians will up the ante again. And again. A salvo of missile attacks on Iran’s big ticket military assets, like nuclear research facilities, SAMs, airplanes and ships will have the virtue of at least reducing the amount of operational Iranian hardware. Targeting ammo dumps would have the excellent result of reducing the amount of ordnance they can funnel to their regional proxies.

In fact, it might not be a bad idea to take out Iran’s oil production facilities, such that they are denied even the discounted revenues they get from selling contraband oil to the Chinese.

Why should Trump strike Iran? Isn’t it time for Saudi to start using the war toys they purchased from us? They’re big boys now and can take care of themselves. Why don’t they fly some airliners into Kharg Island as they did in 9/11 to us? See how the Iranians like it?

I was THRILLED to see the Sauds get hit.

Especially so close to 9/11

Sad that there weren’t massive deaths though.
