I think the reality on the ground differs greatly from how things will be positioned by the media and the progressive left. They will continue to push the narrative that trump is an unhinged lunatic who needs psychiatric care and is terrifying to have as president. especially in an election year! They’ll frame it as Trump’s “wag the dog” moment coming just before his impeachment trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a counter-productive one - the IRGC is more than robust enough to recover from the assassination of their head. This is a symbolic gesture that leaves them intact, operationally undegraded, and angry. Probably. It is pretty clear that this Administration retaliates to any provocation in overwhelming ways. Either Iran provokes us again and sees a bigger response, or they see that if they provoke us then another, bigger response will inevitably follow. Problem is that Iran has a “don’t give a *****” attitude and a willingness to keep provoking. These Long War Journal guys know this region pretty well. Here’s an article of some interest. https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2020/01/u-s-kills-irans-qods-force-commander-and-iraqis-deputy-pmf-leader-in-strike-in-baghdad.php Edited January 3, 2020 by snafu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran-backed terrorist-turned-politician leads demonstration against US Embassy in Iraq ------------------------- Given the level of escalation, I can't help wondering if it was known, to all involved in this decision, that Soleimani was in one of the vehicles. Really hoping this isn't a Neocon victory right now... I wouldn't doubt they've had these guys under surveillance for a time. No reason to clean house until they escalated the violence against the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think he is under the impression that Trump thinks starting wars is a powerful tool for reelection purposes. I hope people realize that a conventional war with Iran will require a draft and will incur the deaths of a great many people. I don't belong to a party, I have my own ideas of life, liberty, and justice and do not need to follow the talking points of self serving so called civil servants from either party.

One of the things I liked about Trump so far was how he resisted doing rash things with the military. What happens next is something we can only wait for. Iran is under a lot of pressure.
