Ya I would expect increased shipping incidents in retaliation.

Trump said he was against Endless War.

That's not how this works.

I deal in reality, thanks.

That's definitely not an exact quote of Trump. With most things Trump, you can find supporting and contrasting quotes from him.

Something something reality.

Well at least the line is very clear now and maybe people thought Trump wasn't serious. Do you remember when he stood down the imminent attack on Iran a while back for shooting down a drone, his response no American lives were lost so he wasn't going to take any Iranian ones. This was an interesting perspective.
He warned them very clearly, if even one American life is lost the response will be swift and overwhelming. The more lives lost the bigger the attack, and Trump isn't fooling around either, if Iran wants to plan a bigger badder response that kills dozens, then Trump will respond tenfold.
And target leadership as well.
It's MAD all over again, but Iran can't win this with Trump at the helm. I don't like it at all, war is not a good thing, but Iran needs to be very careful with it's next moves.
This isn't Obama.

Or cyberattacks. Maybe the regime will target RPF

And when that logic is applied to all parties?

"If US special forces general was in the US..."

Tell me how that works out.

I see it all the same . As a former soldier I knew I was never safe in a foreign country . As bad as I was even I was probably not working on as many devious acts of covert war as this guy probably does and if I may be I would fully expect any enemies would take any opportunity to be rid of me. The part that surprises me is that this guy exposed himself so easily . I still hope we fully withdraw from Iraq . Now would be a good time because there will be an increase in activity now.

And you take that at face value? When I just showed tweet in 2018 of him threatening Iran. A person can believe or hope for wars to end, but when faced with a mass murderer killing Americans, they pull the trigger every time. Christians believe thou shall not kill right?? But recently a mass shooting at a church was stopped by a quick gunshot to the attackers head and this forum applauded.

No.

You don't seem to understand blowback. Trump may have just killed millions by killing one.

Probably have been , republicanguy could have been a communist Persian agent and they are probably tailing Josh and Danke now .

I’ll repeat an earlier post..Soleimani wanted to be a martyr.

Iran vows revenge amid fears of 'devastating war': Supreme leader promises 'jihad' against US for killing general as Hezbollah vows 'worldwide resistance' and Americans are told 'Leave Iraq NOW'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7847069/Rocket-attack-Baghdad-airport-kills-seven.html

This dude leads chants of "death to America" and promises jihad against the US on a daily basis. His words are meaningless. Its bewildering how some people can think if we make this dude happy, there will be peace and rainbows all over the world.

No.

And he may have prevented millions from dying by killing one. I do know that many Iranians are celebrating this POS's death.

This guy is likely responsible for the deaths of a lot of innocent Iraqis so privately about the same there .

Hope for an immediate withdrawal . Now is the time . I would not have even considered this unless that was the plan .

I'm thinking Iraq will kick us out like in 2014, they don't want to be in the middle of this. But then we still have bases/forces in Kuwait so not much improvement there.

Looks like the chances of war with Iran have increased with this little stunt.

Which means he has no concept of a core belief system if he can't keep things straight.

 

[EBounding]

I would say if nothing escalates in the next year, then the attack will be successful in terms of "deterring future Iranian attack plans". Legality and morality aside of course.

 

[nikcers]

Ahh, yes Spudea.

This is all Iran's fault that we have been in their backyard $#@!ing everything up.

Iraq doesn't belong to Iran.

 

[AngryCanadian]

Iraq doesn't belong to Iran.

Nor does America belong in Iraq while being a Shia Majority!
