Is one airbase being struck or is hell raining down on the entire country because it's literally impossible to tell from all these reports.

US forces in Iraq under attack from Iranian cruise missiles. [IMPORTANT STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Arc
- Start date
People were hoping Iran would sit down and take an act of war because they didn't want to risk it escalating
Right? And like, would even support us in this war? This isn't 9/11. Everyone knows we picked this fight for no reason.
Fucking Trump. There was absolutely no need for it to come to this.
The only ones who prosper are those evil weapons manufacturers and war loving nuts. Any blood spilled is directly the result of US administration irresponsibility.

This ain't the end
This is exactly what trump wants, they responded to our response and now we respond to their response. On and on until 10 years from now a nyt article reads: America still in Iran
I know it's great that this is combined with the insane military worshipping culture they also breed. Back-to-back losers in every single war imaginable.
No idea, but seems the essence of the message was confirmed by NYT
Nobody but Iraq and Iran would fight against the US, and barely anybody but the UK would help the US, either. So no, not WW3. Stop.
I have faith that an actual war would backfire hard on Trump but I don't really care at that point because he'll still cause the deaths of thousands upon thousands and further hurt the stability and safety of the US and the MENA region for his ego
They had to respond, no matter what, to not respond when the equivalant of a real-life Captain America for the Iranians was killed by a drone strike is unthinkable.
Now why does this read like a subtle "USA USA, we the strongest!" American patriotism.
Telling people it's the end of the world or this gonna lead to world war 3 sure is.
The world is kind of used to being bullied by the US with little retaliation
No. And the new leftist goverment is going to avoid any kind of involvement in this mess. The US bases in Spain are goint to get busy though.
They are basically telling other countries to stay in their lanes, that this is between Iran and US.
It is and it is disgusting, echoes back to shit pre Iraq War where the prominent media figures were saying it'd take weeks, not months to take Iraq for the US.
People's hopes for level-headedness were all in Iran's basket, but Trump truly forced their hands.
We blew up their General for an embassy attack by militants that resulted in zero American Casualties.
Missile attacks that kill American troops might cause Trump to demand nukes.
When was an US politician ever actually held responsable for the death of soldiers? (Outside of Hilary Clinton lol).
Any post about WW3 is either fear mongering bullshit, or trolling
Did Iran just decide that their pride is more important than their continued existence as a country? There is no way the US does not respond to this with a massive retaliation that could flatten the entire country.
I thought this was already bad and that Iran would escalate further, but I did not think that Iran was this fucking stupid.
EDIT: Looks like this attack was just an attempt at saving face and no one actually died. So I guess that answers my question.

Fuck this revisionist bullshit. Killing him was a horrific stupid terrible action because the GOP EC and Russia made a narcissistic racist baby President. But it doesn't mean that guy wasn't a complete and total asshole in charge of a heinous organization.
As shitty as some of the US decisions have been w/ foreign policy this isn't true in the slightest. Unless Korea, Gulf War don't exist to you?
Talking about WW III absolutely is.
It's not going to happen, people need to fucking cool it.
When that refinery in Saudi Arabia got attacked my bro In law (ex military) texted me to go gas up. And a day later the news was over the gas increase
Iran is much much stronger than the usual idiot Americans think.
It's cool however that you believe the US can do dumbfuck things and not be retaliated against in any way.
The US is not going to glass Iran over a base being attacked.
Iran can't do shit against the US. It's probably the only hit that Iran manages to land on the US. After this, it's just going to be hundreds of thousands of Iranian casualties.
The US hasn't squared off against a real military power in many decades
