Anyone else find it hard to believe Trump isn't being suppressed? As in he wants to speak/tweet but is being forcibly stopped? By whom? There's no Mattis, Kelly, or McMasters type left.
Honestly I don't know, but that Trump appreciates the nuance of the situation and is willingly accepting the perception that his threats are empty lingering for even just the night is pretty much equally hard for me to believe.
I guess if it's just Iraqi's working with the US that were injured/killed there's a way to bluster his way out of it with rhetoric like Intro mentioned.

EDIT: here's a tweet from an hour ago indicating he is expecting a response:

What a fucking joke. We assassinated a cabinet member and they didn't even kill a single person. Iran is begging us to not escalate. This is barely the minimum they could do while saving some face.
LMAO.
somewhat speechless. I don't even know where to begin.

That is a wildly confusing tweet, but I think it means no escalation? Is that just my wishful thinking? Is that what others get out of it?
Edit: this is regards to Trumps Tweet not the one just posted.
Yeah, it appears to be a "We won!" tweet. Hopefully.

Of course not, what kind of question is that? I'm saying for no one to have died, saying we will retaliate is absolute madness and complete bullshit.

If he is trying to pretend nothing happened as a way to keep his base, which is currently demanding full on war, at least somewhat subdued, props to him

If this whole ordeal ends with Sol dead and nothing else happening, it is a monumental win for Trump is imo. Made a greedy play and didn't get punished.
