“And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is – likely be more, but we’ll do everything possible. But that won’t be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization,” Trump added.

That’s the way it is… What s complete dick.

Also, the only terrorist is Trump and the Republicans here.

    Imagine dying because a pedophile rapist tells you to. I guess you get what you vote for…

    I’m going to speculate that this gets a lot worse.

    So far Iran had basically indiscriminately fired missiles at everyone, including France, Germany, and Britain.

    That’s going to end up with NATO Article 1 shenanigans and we’re all going to get dragged into.

    Meanwhile the Iranian Guard is like a headless chicken, so that’s great, and a country with a network of international terrorists forced into assymetric warfare is probably going to result in a lot of terror attacks that get met with increasingly distopian solutions in the west.

    Oh, and there’s no actual mechanism for meaningful regine change, just an interior group of thousands who will start infighting when they get desperate, and anyone claiming per getting bombed…

    So what’s the US exit strategy here, now that they’ve kicked the hornet’s nest and Iran is dragging everyone in (against them).

    I won’t support my country sending troops for 20 years like Afghanistan again. That was a massive waste.

    Speaking of, Afghanistan and Pakistan’s war is just going to make this more complex and fluid, potentially dragging India into this mess too.

      That’s the neat part, there is no exit strategy. They don’t care what you think. The billionaires benefit from war, particularly with long, drawn out regional ones like this.

      The peasants will die, yes. But that is a sacrifice they are willing to make. For more money.
