    Fake news.

    Iran attacked Iraqi bases, which are hosting some American soldiers.

    It appears they missed on purpose with 15 missiles, in an attempt to save face at home while avoiding killing any Americans out of fear of Trump's promise to hold them personally responsible.

    The cowards are visibly quaking, Iranians will smell their fear and take back their country.

    It won’t matter if it’s Russia China or Us there it didn’t change that they are still fighting a religious war. Everyone gets bogged down there.

    Just the opposite.

    We've been in an endless war with Iran for 40 years, longer with N Korea.

    I am for ENDING both endless wars, before the Deep State gets control of the WH again.

    We still have a chance to do it peacefully with N Korea, because as crazy as people say Kim is, he understands and respects America's resolve and the benefits of negotiating a win/win situation.

    Mullahs just want to slaughter western infidels. Truly, no appeasement is possible. No treaty will be honored by them. No promise will be kept.

    Nothing has changed since 1979, when everyone knew they would never stop killing. It's what they do.

    Except America finally elected a President who wasn't groomed by the Deep State, and wasn't lying when he said he would always protect Americans first.

    I think this deescalates. Even with Trump.

    I will say this, if he does the right thing here, and does not retaliate, I will have a little more faith in him. No American, despite what Maris and his kind say, was upset about the assassination of Soleimani. We were worried about needless American lives being taken and an even bigger destabilizing of the Mid East and massive war.

    Because I don't live in California? Everyone who doesn't live there feels safer than those who do.

    I don't live there for the same reason that I fortunately turned down a job offer at the US Embassy in Iran during the Spring of 1979.

    It's a shithole full of hateful bigots with no moral compass.

    So the answer is yes, I feel safer with a President who faces down America's enemies rather than Obama who funded America's enemies.

    Just speculation.

    Timing is odd.

    I'm guessing it wasnt random.

    Unless you believe in coincidences, Iran appears to have sabotaged or shot down a Ukranian airliner near Tehran headed for Kiev. At least 170 dead..

    I wonder how many witnesses against Kerry's and Biden's sons were on it? :dunno:
