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.
People were hoping Iran would sit down and take an act of war because they didn't want to risk it escalatingI'm having some whiplash.
This IS when war begins and everyone is shitting their pants, but assassination of Iran official was met with far more calmer and even "just another day" approach.
Fuck?
How THIS is what starts escalation?
How would America win? What would define a win to you? Overthrowing the Iranian government and putting in a stable, liberal democracy with little casualties? lmao
There is no winning scenario here
This ain't the endIf this is the extent of the response, then thank goodness.
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.America has lost every war it's been involved in since WW2. Their application of hard power never achieves their objectives -- they win when they use soft power, which Trump has been eroding since before he was even elected.
I just got a text from a friend and her husband is in Iraq and she said his base is getting hit with cruise missiles.
I don't trust breaking early tweets either but those combined with her text.
Yikes
That seems odd. Why would Iran provoke more war from another country
Some of ya'll are just fear mongering with this end of the world/ world war 3 bull shit. Chill.
He doesn't care. He has zero empathy.If US troops died then it's blood on Trump's hands. What a stupid motherfucker.
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 egoRight? And like, would even support us in this war? This isn't 9/11. Everyone knows we picked this fight for no reason.
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.People were hoping Iran would sit down and take an act of war because they didn't want to risk it escalating
This. If the 20 is true, Iran is about to get rolled. Hopefully it's not accurate.
Telling people it's the end of the world or this gonna lead to world war 3 sure is.

I just want to know this: Is Spain mandated to aid USA on this war because of NATO?
Now why does this read like a subtle "USA USA, we the strongest!" American patriotism.

No idea, but seems the essence of the message was confirmed by NYT
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.Now why does this read like a subtle "USA USA, we the strongest!" American patriotism.
People's hopes for level-headedness were all in Iran's basket, but Trump truly forced their hands.I'm having some whiplash.

yup lolThe world is kind of used to being bullied by the US with little retaliation
War seems almost inevitable if anyone got killed because of these attacks. I can't imagine Trump not retaliating if american citizens are killed.
When was an US politician ever actually held responsable for the death of soldiers? (Outside of Hilary Clinton lol).If US troops died then it's blood on Trump's hands. What a stupid motherfucker.
Most liberals will side with the warmongerers because at the end of the day, America above all else.
You're going to see the most tepid resistance to the war, already we're seeing it with people conceding that Soleimani, a high ranking general in Iran that actually fought back ISIS in the region was somehow an insurgent terrorist.
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?America has lost every war it's been involved in since WW2. Their application of hard power never achieves their objectives -- they win when they use soft power, which Trump has been eroding since before he was even elected.
Right? And like, would even support us in this war? This isn't 9/11. Everyone knows we picked this fight for no reason.
fuck you are right, got a Bronco I need to drive in the next several days due to winter weather(Mustangs are not good in snow), should top it off ASAP
Iran is much much stronger than the usual idiot Americans think.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.
The US is not going to glass Iran over a base being attacked.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.

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.It totally does, uh. People don't really get how strong Iran is
The US hasn't squared off against a real military power in many decadesNow why does this read like a subtle "USA USA, we the strongest!" American patriotism.
