TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. IT IS NOT CONFIRMED.

As I stated, not confirmed, should be taken with a grain of salt. Sorry for the confusion.

His voters love this shit. They're idiots.
You think this is going to hurt his numbers? Oh that's funny, why do you think this is happening in the first place?
He's creating a bad guy that only he can defeat. Or that'll be the political play. I dunno how it plays but I don't think well.
What a fucking mess.

Thanks to the idiotic general American public, no doubt.
This isn't really the time or place, but for whatever reason, an active military engagement usually improves a president's numbers.
A sitting president has never lost reelection during war time
This was probably one of the angles used on him, but yes...because traditionally US presidents are reelected during war time

This truly saddens me. I have no words.

Iran can claim what they want to make themselves feel better. I'll wait I guess

Now the US reveals why that space shuttle drone is up in space for 400 days at a time.

Since I refuse to listen to that pos orange turd speak, if he does address the nation, any link to a transcript would be much appreciated.

So much for de-escalation then. Striking 3 targets with a dozen missiles is more than just a proportionate response. I'd have hoped that Iran might have sent warning to evacuate the bases beforehand. My word, this is awful

It may be proportional to assassinating a head general - I imagine the US would react similarly, if not moreso.

Ignored the staff post and not using any type of common sense in asking why Iran would have body counts before the US?

Smart

I spoke to multiple people over Christmas break who were talking about how excited they were to "finally" ship out for their first deployment overseas in the coming months. I asked if they didn't think it's terrifying and they said "things have really calmed down over there." I can't stop thinking about them now.

I have to be ignorant. But how is Trump going to be reelected for 2020 after all of this?

If he paints the Iranians as the bad guys, then he becomes the leader America turns to during war. In America, tricking the public into thinking the middle-easterners picked a fight isn't so yeah, there's a very strong possibility that Trump will get the wartime president bump.

If it's any consolation I don't actually think Trump has the stomach for an actual war. He'll think to himself "Ugh this sounds like A LOT of work!" and he'll bluster his way through this.

The only reason he gave the go ahead for Soleimani is because he thought he get plaudits the same way he did for al baghdadi and he didn't understand the ramifications.

He's literally too much of an idiot and coward for war; he'll hand off all the decisions to the military brass and they will deescalate it.

This is what I'm hoping as well.

I refuse to believe Iran is this stupid. I will be surprised that any of those missiles landed inside US bases.
