Anyone who really believes it will end up going “unanswered” ain’t been paying attention.
The additional sanctions are just the first phase - President Trump likes to wait for the best moments...
Waddy is a child. He knows nothing at all, but hey, it’s a free country, he has the right to open his mouth and prove it.
I think the way we killed Soleimani left little doubt about our intentions and capabilities. Trump played it exactly right. Had Americans died, we would not be having this discussion. Things would have happened.
What did we do when the marine barracks in Lebanan were levelled?
Diplomacy is an art, and the militar ARE pawns of the leadership, but in the way that any soldier who knows history will understand. It’s why a bunch of guys are sent to the Omaha beach, even though we KNOW a lot of them will die.
One thing those on the left are right about: Tit for tat is not how you win. It’s how you find your servicemen trying to get out of the country via helicopter from a building top in Vietnam.
WATCH!......TIK,TOK,Tik......

Some men can’t wait for other men to go to war.
> Trump played it exactly right. <
I agree 100%. Trump took out a bad guy. Then he let Iran save face by allowing them to fire off a few missiles. Iran can now claim that the whole thing was a draw. But of course thats not true. And everyone knows it. Advantage, Trump.
Can A Direct Attack on American Servicemen Really Go Unanswered?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Of course not.
Just be careful in what we say here.
Surprise is a necessary component to future action.
And the response will be surgical, lethal, and deeply destructive to the Mullahs behind this Islamo-fascist regime.
Count in it. The game is already afoot. But pay attention to the marine Mullahs...the speed boat rag heads, or accidents at the centrifuge sites.
Have the supply lines and strategy in place before escalating, IMHO.
“Trump’s restraint must have come as a surprise to Democrats and Trump haters.”
A disappointment to them, not a surprise.
Aww.
The poor little Neocons are unhappy.
Trump has put competent generals in his council who understand punitive strikes, and are aware that not every military confrontation calls for a war of occupation.
The neocons has a sad.
Direct attack?
Make a visit to Walter Reed. The indirect attacks are just as bad.
you said a mouthful there
And in this case, the supply lines need consist of airpower resupply practically in total.
A war of occupation would be counterproductive.
After Iran shot down the commercial jet it was actually better to let it go seeing how the Iranian people rose up in defiance of their leaders. Had we retaliated to the missiles that in essence did little, those demonstrations would have been aimed at the US. Did Trump luck into it? Perhaps, but I’d like to think quick analysis ruled the day.
17 of the 19 missiles hit their target dead center thanks to the Russians giving the Iranians GLONASS guidance cards. The Iranians have 100s of thousands more missiles in missile caves. Should they launch waves of missiles, there is no defense against that many.
The Iranians punished themselves by shooting down a civilian airliner, earning worldwide condemnation and triggering massive civil unrest. If Trump had responded to the largely symbolic Iranian provocation he would have been doing exactly what they wanted him to do.
I am hoping any attack from Iran or it’s proxies will be the very last one. We cannot allow them to get a nuclear weapon as they will use it.
11 injured after trump said no injuries on the 8th. No response. Unacceptable
