There was a reconnaissance aircraft right by the drone,they are the ones that got the photo of the shoot down,it had 25 airmen on board,the Iranians did not shoot that down when they could have very easily,were they cowards or afraid of what the wimp President Trump would do if they did that?
Me thinks going to war over a drone is ridiculous,they are trying to get President Trump to react,he will,but all these experts will be the first to hammer the President when Russia and China send their military in to back Iran,oh Trump the maniac has started world war 3 over the mullahs in Iran.
The President is doing fine,the Mullahs actions prove it,but can’t give credit to the President.
And perhaps it was a plan to speak to the Iranian people.
General Tata just on FOX saying Trump’s restraint was incredible and showed what a great president would do. He said Trump weighed all the possible repercussions to that action.
I know you hate Trump, but you are wrong as usual. Maybe you should evaluate why you are always wrong.
One of the top 3 stupidest things written about Donald Trump. And one of the stupidest "conclusions" I have ever read.
These guys don’t understand feints at least when it comes to President Trump. In fact I wouldn’t rule out President Trump to do another feint. Iran lets their guard down then @ss kicking time. Assuming the mullahs continue with their actions.
This President has a very high IQ and plays a lot of games with people and the media. When this presidency is over and it gets studied in depth without liberal bias, it will be an eyeopener.
I was not a Trump fan during the primary but this has been fascinating and very fun to watch. Trump is a master maneuverer and FISA works both ways with real cause.
Y’know they killed JFK for doing what Trump is doing.
It’s simple...he won’t go to war over a shot down drone or a few limpet mines....he will when they actually start killing people and sinking ships. Trump is the one drawing the line, start killing people and all bets are off!
FAKE NEWS! Sorry, I just had to say it.
WSJ Neocons.
War is good for the Deep State and the bottom line of Wall Street. Means more defense stocks sold, higher global oil prices; mucho denaro.
But Trump is right on this one. All the facts aren’t in and we don’t need to rush, we still have massive capabilities.
Iran’s day is coming, but as Aragorn said, “Today is not that day.”
Support our President.
He was right not to attack, it was an international trap, designed to separate Europe from the USA on Iran sanctions.
Trump just showed Iran what a civilized nation looks like.
Iranian leaders need to come out of the dark ages and get the kill, kill, kill attitude out of their collective minds.
Try as I might, I don’t see anything in this story that is even a hint that Iran called Trump’s bluff. The title given by WSJ is so misleading. Pathetic and desperate.
This is hilarious. For years they’ve told us Trump will start world war 3 because he’s trigger happy. He, sanely, decides not to escalate the conflict with Iran and suddenly he’s a coward, blinked etc. Yesterday Iran got to hear stories of how the war mongers wanted to attack and the only reason they didn’t get what they wanted was because Trump stopped them. I think that is a very powerful message not to mention what it says to the electorate. The CNN’s and the MSNBC’s of the world are trying to gin people up onto supporting a war. Even this will make Trump stronger and more dangerous to Iran because if he decides it needs to be done the public will be the ones pushing for it. Channel after channel had to report that Trump prevented a war with Iran because of 150 people. All in all yesterday was a huge win for Trump and to be honest I think he just played and used the media bigly. Down to them making Pompeo and Bolton into the big bads plays really well for Trump in my opinion.
—— The question ..... is, whether Iran and other adversaries will see it instead as a sign of weakness and indecision-———
The answer to that question is, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is....... will Iran do it again? Will Iran steal another cookie?
The President revealed that 150 people would die at three targeted sites. Iranian commanders must be worrying........ what three sites? Is one of them mine? Best course is to set our site at maximum readiness. All of Iran becomes on de facto alert even if there is no order from the top.
This is pure BS.
No author, no read it.
It was an ambush and Trump refused to take the bait
The Wall Street Journal called this an opinion that was written by the editorial board. Not only can they not identify who wrote it, but they filled the piece with confused and unconfirmed statements made to try to give them a way out if it blew up in their face. Such phrases as:
“More Likely,” “May be risking,” “they may be right,”…. And this is from the small part of the article they would let people read before they required you to subscribe to this rag. I wouldn’t use this waste of a tree to cover the bottom of a bird cage.

Next will come the "I voted for him, but since he chickened out I won't vote for him again".
He hasn't chickened out on anything. He avoided a trap set by the Never Trumpers, the NWO, and those who profit from the blood of America's Armed Forces members being shed.
He will do something, but it will be in his time and of his choosing.
