I don’t think Trump wants this to escalate. If there are no American casualties I think he will let Iran save face and then move against them with more economic sanctions.
Time to mine their waters and harbors.
“If there are no American casualties I think he will let Iran save face and then move against them with more economic sanctions.”
Yep. Now maximum sanctions to force Iran to de-nuclearize. They can no longer attack oil tankers or fight proxy wars. They have been exposed (just like the dems) and will assure their own destruction if they choose to continue down their usual path.
While they kill more Americans everywhere.
How ballsy :)
Is the lack of US casualties the metric we want to use? Getting shot at and missed deserves more than harsher sanctions. Attempted murder with the probability of future attacks must not be allowed to stand. Hopefully, Trump is planning an appropriate military response aimed at regime change.
I think that would be best - most prudent.
BUT... I’m sick and tired of us walking on eggshells just so some evil ragheads (and often Chinese) can “save face”. What about OUR “face”?
