Yeah, pretty much. It would be a politically atrocious move, anyone not associated with the military in the administration has to see that, but the people who really want a war don't care about the political ramifications.
Iranian military claims to have shot down US spy drone
- Thread starter Ozorov
- Start date
My real takeaway is that Iran has surface to air missiles capable of swift deployment, targeting, lock-on and 20m+ range hitting the stealth drone. This isn't some Iran military data, but a real world scenario. Iran isn't ISIS with their Toyota machine guns and random rocket launchers.
What are those B-52s for? An aviation parade?

This isnt gonna lead trump is gonna throw a temper tantrum and that will be the end of that. Remember the last time when Iran hijacked an American drone (and that was a state of the art one) and that didn't lead to war though granted at the time there was a more 'sane' administration in charge.
There were sanctions and further arms deals with Ukraine. Or are you suggesting the US should have gone to war with Russia?
The US has been a bad actor in the Middle East and should not be involved in any new conflicts over there.
If Iran and Saudi Arabia want to go to war, I want no part of it.

i mean we (not even US-backed whatever, just the american navy) shot down an iranian airliner full of innocent people back in '88 and nothing ever happened
This is all a dream come true for the hardliner extremists of Iran, it's sad that it's going to end in conflict
Yes. The one thing I like about Trump is his anti-interventionism. He's better than most democrats in this regard and seems less eager to bomb brown people in the middle east.
Still, his reneging on the nuclear deal to please Israel is what lead to this whole messed up situation in the first place.
United Airlines no longer considers Iranian airspace safe and is suspending flights between New York/Newark and Mumbai (India)
The Federal Aviation Administration has also prohibited all U.S. flights in overwater area of Tehran-controlled airspace above Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman

I still remember one of their attacks in Iraq, they pretended to be American soldiers, drove to a military checkpoint or base, killed a bunch of Americans, kidnapped two (both were later found dead and their bodies bobby trapped).
Thats the raid I was talking about

New York Times: Trump approved strikes on targets such as radar and missile batteries, but abruptly pulled back
Yh, NYT updated their article with this info as well. If true, we were minutes away from a strike.
I'm guessing we're a pin drop away from action on Iran. I'd love to know why the attack was called off? Did Trump change his mind, or did other considerations change the plans.

Similarities between Japan and Iran prior to war breaking out. The whole sanctions justification for Japan to attack Pearl Harbor.
I and others were saying Trump wasnt interested. This update implies as much. There will always be Bolton types in the US.
Don't play games with me. I never said he backs off every plan. Stating "only when even his insane base doesnt want that" is reiterating a caveat I already metioned.
