I’m not going to argue, but it’s not the best way to frame foreign policy of the post war era
Germany (at least) issued a statement of support for the US action.
No.
GTO to have a sane man calling shots that enemies think might be mad. Churchill or the like.
One thing trump gets that some dems don’t is you don’t say shit like “the dead guy was a very bad man” and ALSO say it was wrong to send the strike.

Withdraw the peacekeeping forces, send in the warfighters. Promises made, promises kept!
I still don’t think more troop deployments are good for Trump, obviously they are terrible for the US in general

Our foreign minister said „This action was provoked by Iran but it has made easing tensions in the region more difficult.“
In diplomatese that is hardly a message of support
Macron and Raab are also „worried“ or warn against escalation
(Sorry for the German source)

Trump just clarified he made the call to stop a war, see? I’m sure Iran will understand

Operating on the theory that it’s always projection with these people, does that mean if Iran kills Mike Pompeo, Trump will back down?

We all know the best way to stop any war is to kill the second most powerful person in another country.
Good thread. I want to reiterate point ten. The media absolutely and unequivocally loves war. It is better than Trump to drive their bottom line.

Plus nice job on thinking there were only 12 hijackers.
Saudi Arabia calling for restraint now. The country responsible for the abduction and dismemberment of a journalist feels like they have the moral authority to call for restraint. What a fucking world we live in.

They’re very aware that absolutely opening up on their oil infrastructure and mining the straight of Hormuz is a legit valid Iranian line here.
When you lie with dogs…
Thank you everyone that has posted in this thread. This is where I get my news.
Fuck, that’s all I can add right now.

I second this.
This is super ridiculous given the fact that AQ has always been a hardcore sunni organization. They’ve killed way more Shiites than they’ve killed Americans. We’re talking 10-20:1 here absolutely including 9/11.
