We're between two big oceans. The only threat we would get is from Canada or Latin America.
Or: public support was already low for this, so even if it inches up, it'll still be average
That's it. Trump now has checked all the dictator boxes.
Start a war to deflect and win re-election

Of course it's old. To anyone posting these stupid ass unchecked fucking tweets in here, get fucked.
We will likely never have a draft again. We are not sending a million troops into Iran, or anywhere. War doesn't really work that way anymore.
"America and the world cannot afford a war"
tell that to the fucking cheeto
It's fake but it's a pretty standard rocket artillery barrage.
Imagine thinking countries should just go all in on violating national sovereignty to kill people they deem as bad. I mean the US already does that in the drone era but lmfao
Seems weird they would risk killing Iraqi soldiers as well. How would Iraq react in that scenario?
Red white and blue pilled
Reminds me of the Irak war, can't believe people just shamelesly gobble up porpaganda like you.
Iran doesn't want war, and neither does the United States. Some people mentioned Iran launching at mostly empty bases. While trump doing this is to take eyes off impeachment and give him political cover for 2020, let's not forget Iran is having all sorts of issues internally as well. Best way to make people forget about their problems
At home, is to have a bigger threat externally.
Iran has killed 100's of protestors a couple of months ago
unverified @max_facts_ME has all the up-to-date facts. Look at it's 1.3k follower account!
Yeah, people posting unverified information from possibly untrustworthy twitter accounts is not helping.
And I know we're small anyway but the majority of danish supporting troops that are stationed in that area, are at the base that was attacked, so I doubt we're eager to join it.
This is astonishing rationale, Trump killed the one guy that could start a war, in a region where US do not belong, in a country that is still recovering from thier illegal war!
Iraqi and Iranian civilians are going to perish because of this trigger happy think skinned leader of yours.
Oh definitely & if he ever even attempts to launch ICBM's America's allies will be fucking furious.
Follow-up, I would also add some of the histrionic "hundreds of thousands will die", "Trump just kicked off WW3" posts seem to be catastrophising the worst case scenarios just for the sake of being able to be more angry at Trump.
We destabilized most of the middle east and have been actively trying to start a war with them for almost a decade. How can you blame them for wanting us dead?
Murdering their general is proof that we're an active threat to their people.
Election year, Feds propping up markets, negative yielding bonds, and spiting Obama. This was inevitable.
Now enjoy watching thousands more American troops lose their life over rich people and their greed and pettiness.

I can't with this comment. Yes, it was necessary for the US to inject itself in a possible war with Iran to protect the golden sacred American Freedom that is under active threat by the Iranians apparently.
And then you get banned for calling some Americans IDIOTS but come on, you can make this shit up.
Yea I don't know that there are any JKFs or Kruschev's present today, my friend. Sadly.
So this is Falklands 2.0, both sides gonna start shit to make themselves look good to the war mongering psychos in their country...
Each individual rocket's payload is not that large. It's used to shoot at fortified positions and large concentrations of personnel. Terrifying to be on the receiving end but the missiles Iran used against the base had considerably more payload, but less of them.
