So they attack and kill 3 American soldiers and then threaten us if we respond.
Typical bully tactics. That makes us damned if we do and damned if we don’t.
If we don’t attack them, they will not stop. They’ll do it again anyways, because that is the nature of islam.
If we do respond and attack back, they threaten to attack us again, which we know is coming anyways even if we don’t attack them.
So for us, its a lose/lose situation so we might as well hit back. It’s not going to make things any worse for us.
“So for us, its a lose/lose situation so we might as well hit back.”
Agreed.
A Soleimani-style hit would be great retribution. Take out one of their high ranking generals who may be in Syria or Iraq right now.
IIRC, the Iranians were stunned when Trump took out Soleimani. They weren’t expecting anything like it.
