No one is talking about an invasion. Not even Little Linda Grahamnesty.

What is being worked on is what level of retaliation is to be executed. Graham and Bolton and other war hawks wanted President Trump to aggressively attack Iran after the drone downing.

President Trump said no. I’m not going to kill hundreds of Iranians over a single piece of hardware. The war hawks say see we told you so!

What the hawks do not realize is, President Trumps unwillingness to attack Iran with prejudice over a single drone strengthens his hand in punishing them later when they go way over the line.

The attack in Saudi Arabia is different. This was an Iranian shot across the bow which has worldwide economic implications.

Yes, thanks to President Trump we are energy independent but, oil is a worldwide commodity. If Iran is allowed to attack, destroy, and pirate tankers at will this affects every country, every industry, every household, worldwide.
This cannot be allowed to stand.

This attack demands a strong and intimidating response.
And, a response will come. Just a matter of when. Not if.

“This was an Iranian shot across the bow which has worldwide economic implications.”

Not buying the “worldwide implications” fearmongering. The price of oil went back down today. Watch it skyrocket if we do the Saudis bidding and go to war

From Saudi Arabia ... not from the U.S.
