Is it me or was Iran's response proportional and that should be the end of the matter? Yes. Rational world leaders would be happy with chopping the head off of Irans force projection and taking a couple dozen rockets in response. Unfortunately, this is trump and he's going to go full war crimes in response.
He's not going to commit them all by himself. People have to follow those orders for it to happen and they'd do well to remember "I was taking orders" wasn't an excuse and Germany is still hunting those bastards down.

As a wise man once said "this is America"

He'll probably drop the MOAB on Persepolis or something like that as a dick measure.
Though this would be an excellent time for another 'Trump never meant what he said literally several times' rollback that happens often with other weird things he says. Just lie and carry on like you never promised retaliation please. Get Fox and Friends spinning. Save lives with lies for once.

I thought Kushner was super close to peace in the Middle East, what happened?
|
Iran is saying if there is a response to their rocket attacks they will destroy dubai and haifia.
Edit yeah I mean I don't know how to avoid not just double posting what the tweet says but I'll do what I can. Haifia is in Isreal btw.

If you're going to post updates, at least include a tweet or source to go with it. Thanks.

Can't see that happening if the missile strikes killed US soldiers.

Request: This thread is temporarily allowed to have sources posted without some big long intro and conclusion. This is moving really fast and I think there is value in allowing people to post sources without much else.

When big freaking emerging news is posted we aren't as strict.
Even under normal circumstances, it's not like the required intro is big and long.
|
That was what I asked. I didn't need the intro. We are all probably getting different sources, so it would be nice to cross-reference and whatnot as it comes in.
Thanks everyone. I'm checking a few myself and everything is as reported here already.

Argh..
Do you think UAE and Israel are mobilizing now? This could get real hot real fast.
|
The US needs to leave Iraq immediately and people need to take to the streets and shut shit down if they don't imo
|

NO american casualties from the rocket strikes on Airbases Any rational person would stop and deescalate things now.

thank fucking god holy shit. But with planes already in the air, what is about to happen? Deeply hoping they turn the fuck around.

The Planes in the air are theoretically safer then them being on the ground at the base. Presumably, they've just been scrambled to defend against a possible attack by other aircraft.

Hope you're right. If we actually don't retaliate, I will be incredibly happy. I will be extremely surprised, but joyfully so.

The White House is preparing for a possible address by the President as Iran threatens to attack inside America if the US responds to missile attacks
