LordAdam16:


Iraq contradicted their reports. No one was killed, not American, not Iraqi, not any other nationality.

In fact, Iran gave warning to Iraq, Lithuania, and some other Allied nations prior to the attack. US intelligence got wind of these. The US also had advanced warning capabilities activated.

Iran did this flashy attack with propaganda to appease their far right base.

The "international politics at full display" is Trump killing Soleimani then bracing for retaliation both home and abroad; rather than following up with an overwhelming offensive. He sent a clear message to Tehran. And gave the Ayatollah the opportunity to save face. As long as no American was killed.



At this point, they were going to kill Americans anyway. They've been killing Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq for years.

There is no doubt that there'd still be minor operations by Iranian proxies, but it doesn't matter anymore. The kingpin is Soleimani, a man Bush and Obama were scared to take out, he is DEAD! And no American live was directly lost on that account.

That's a strategic win. A gamble that played out favorably for Trump. One rogue missile killing a few Americans, and Trump would have been forced to strike Iran directly.

Ignore the bluster. That's just the media and Democrats. No one wants war. Not Trump. Not the Ayatollah. They had the same hysteria during the Trump-Kim kerfuffle.

-Lord
You my man, is well versed in international politics.

Well posited.

Didn't you hear report where Iran claimed about 80 something us soldiers were killed in that strike? How then you think they informed Iraq they don't want casualties?

We can pretend to lie to our selves but it doesn't change what the truth is.

Iran misfired on purpose and wanted propaganda to escalate tension and sympathy which US handled with matured response.

You should try watch the media and see how they paint the whole saga then use your head

The report was made to their gullible citizens just to save face and after they had already signaled to American troops through Iraqi government that their base would be bombed that night. Then all American troops evacuated before the bomb.

However, Iran has to tell some lies to its people to pacify them of course

Congress should find a way out to support parliaments to impeach this idiot, because this fool didn't know the value of the sit. Trumph is a terrorist, he should be impeached.

What a Retardèd talk.
I thought USA said they can't dare to attack them?
This shows how weak they are.
Upon their mouth to have the most sophisticated defense weapons, they could still detect nor stop the attack...
What a shame.

Of course they had to stand down.

Iran shot down 2 expensive US drones. No response.
Iran blew and seized oil tankers. No response.
Iran took out a significant part of Saudi's oil installations, equivalent to 5% of global oil output. No response.
Iran attacks US military base killing one American contractor and injuring 4 US soldiers. No response.
Iran prods their militia to attack US embassy in Baghdad in an attempt to sack it.

Trump finally said, "Enough". He took out their top-ranking general in one precision strike.

That's a President. That's a deterrent. Not that useless oaf called Obama.

If Iran had killed another American yesternight with their launches. By now, it'd have been raining fire and brimstone in Tehran!

Iran can sabre-rattle all it wants; but if it tries any of the nonsense it had done in the past few months again, there'll be hell to pay.

Trump just told Iran, "my craze pass your own." Do anyhow you see anyhow. Two seconds.

I just finished watching Mike Pence interview with CBS saying that the US received intelligence about the attack and decided to move the troops out of harm way before the attack struck.

Technically, Iran deliberately decided to let the US know before they attacked:
