INB4 "the more I read about this the more I agree with President Trump."
Nothing has changed......yet. The outcome will be totally predicated on the iranian people, not the government. Hopefully they change and we change but I doubt it. I'm sure by the time it's all said and done we'll have another middle east quagmire but I have a heck of a lot more faith in the persians than I do with the Arab nations, including Israel.
The really batsh*t crazy thing about the assassination is that it unified public support for the Iranian government that had been experiencing considerable public protests over the last couple years. Trump has been a Godsend for the regime.
I’m good with getting out of there. It’s been nothing but a death trap. There’s no need to be there unless they let the whole country go
Even if it does, as long as it doesn't affect us I dont care. I say get out, but as long as we are there then shoot back if they shoot at us. That sounds harsh but we can't save everybody from their own poor decisions.
I wouldn’t call trump shook. But certainly has some deranged tweeting tendencies.
Secretary of State Pompeo is on TV reassuring everyone the world's a safer place now that the Iranian General has been assassinated while Trump is on Twitter threatening Iran that he's got 52 targets ready if they decide to retaliate against us.
Trying to rationalize with a 5th Avenue trumpet? Bold strategy Cotton.
Not to take away from your take but any Trump supporter with any guts would acknowledge Trump is ratcheting the crisis up rather than attempting to de-escalate it.
History will show us whether this has escalated anything, predictions don't. In theory, we could say that killing bin-laden or dropping a bomb on Gaddafis family should have been forms of escalation but that wasn't the case. At this point there are equal chances of retribution and retreat, but in reality we generally see that moves like this actually are effective. The wild card that we can't account for is whether Khameni values his own life. If the middle east was more unified under their own religious ideology I would say significant retribution would happen but he doesnt really have any allies that are willing to jump in on his behalf so it probably just looks like suicide to him and the loss of his zealotry.
Oh, come on! You’d have to believe our Commander-in-Chief was a truly pathetic “it’s all about me” narcissist with zero morals to think he would pull such a stunt to take attention away from his impeachment!
trump is a wild card. he killed their top general over a drone being shot down, and ships being hijacked. he reminded them just what we are capable of. just like an unruly kid sometimes you need to spank them and let them know there will be consequences. sure he threatened them, maybe next time they will think twice.
