“President Trump to address the nation tonight”
Source?
I think we’re about to shock the world.
Will he announce that the Iranians have information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton?
LOL!
Per FNC: Iran didn’t fire on Balad.
Possibly Soebarkahs real BC?
We get a two-fer?
Don’t think that any Patriot batteries are deployed there.
Fox is reporting he *MAY* address the nation. It’s not confirmed he will yet.
The US knew this base would be targeted as in all bases in Iraq
I imagine they have been prepping for this for quite a few weeks.
Heard on fox business that our president will address us tonight.
Disregard my last...I presumed a rising Moon and failed to take time difference into account...Could may well be a “setting” Moon in Iran at time of launch...My bad...
I can’t watch Tucker Carlson much tonight, on his show and others a lot of these “experts” are saying let’s hope this is it and everyone “saved face”. Maybe that’s a sophisticated approach. I don’t accept it. What Iran wants is a return to business as usual.
Gold has jumped to nearly $1600.
OAN.
“I’m wondering if China or Russia gave Iran their blessing to do this. “
Only if they wanted to eliminate Iran from the face of the earth.
Neither of those countries will lift a finger on behalf of Iran.
I don’t think this is the big one. Instead of just firing cruise missiles back at Iran POTUS could ratchet up the economic sanctions to 11 instead. No doubt the Iranians are prepared for getting bombed right now.
I keep telling people if we get Toyota to stop selling the hi-lux pickup in the middle east we would cripple Iran’s warfighting ability overnight.

BOL!
I’m beginning to think this was the mullahs f@rting in our general direction.
If so, it’ll be interesting to see how Trump responds.
“ Can’t trust those pesky Iranians, might have sleeper cells in D.C.”
They have thousands of them...they’re called Democrats
