Don't make me laugh, a sense of duty to do the biddings of a ****ing moron?

Oh bloody hell.

I mean, it's hardly a surprise they've responded, they said they would, though Trump probably wasn't expecting them to respond quite as quickly.

I don't understand this line of thought. It is pretty much common knowledge there is absolutely no chance the Senate will go against him.

...I don’t understand, was the passenger plane sabotaged deliberately...?...

Iran has attacked 2 USA bases in Iraq

UK foreign secretary condemns "reckless and dangerous attacks"

Dominic Raab has said in a statement: "We condemn this attack on Iraqi military bases hosting Coalition - including British - forces.

"We are concerned by reports of casualties and use of ballistic missiles.

"We urge Iran not to repeat these reckless and dangerous attacks, and instead to pursue urgent de-escalation.

"A war in the Middle East would only benefit Daesh and other terrorist groups."

Ammi 08-01-2020 06:54 AM

The Ukrainian embassy to Iran has said that preliminary information suggests engine failure caused the crash of a Ukrainian airliner in Iran, rather than a missile attack or act of terrorism. Reuters reports that the embassy also said in a statement that 168 people had bought tickets for the flight.

all that blood from this base attack now on Trump's hands, poor US army :(

this was just a revenge action for their fallen leader, nothing more and nothing less, but it could go to war if the US retaliates and that is also something what Iran either doesn't want

and this attack on an airbase in Iraq a week or so ago in which a USA citizen died by Iran was for what reason?

Iraq: US civilian killed in attack on military base

Given the significance of General Soleimani and the passions that his killing aroused - Iran's military strike against US bases in Iraq was a modest response.

The attack was clearly timed to cause as few casualties as possible. Both the US and Iran - for all their rhetoric - do not want a wider conflict. So maybe a line can be drawn under this matter for now.

It can't be denied that this is a tactic used before by an unpopular president to garner support with unwarranted displays of military might.

" A Republican president facing a tough re-election campaign and widely viewed as hopelessly out of his depth. Bureaucrats itching to turn US military firepower on a Middle Eastern regime they claim without evidence is plotting an imminent attack. Compliant sections of the media that put*flag-waving jingoism*ahead of skeptical scrutiny.

So it was in late 2002, when President George W Bush’s administration built unstoppable momentum towards invading Iraq, promising to destroy weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that*never existed.*Nearly two decades later the potential target is not Iraq but Iran, with many of the same concerns over false pretexts and official lies."

*If* US casualties are zero or minimal and *if* it does lead to a de-escalation quickly, then I'm personally calling BS on the entire thing as co-ordinated PR pantomime. Military false-flagging for civilian catharsis.

Kizzy 08-01-2020 08:59 AM

It's already been stated that the strike was heavy on symbolism, happening at the exact time the US attacked. There could really be no hope a revenge attack wouldn't materialise , but as attacks go this appears relatively minor thankfully.
I hope that tensions can begin to de escalate now.
