    The embassy thing in Iraq being blamed on Iranians (might have some credibility I don’t really know) and now this. This really feels like an escalation that we may not be able to come back from without full blown war. Experts saying retaliation for this will far exceed the embassy attack and be far wider range into the west. Any non conspiracy theorists that have insight into this care to chime in?

    Best way to win an election is to start a war and distract the public.

    I thought Hillary was the war hawk and we were getting out of the Mid East with Trump. Was told this a million times right here on this board. Now I’m reading about non violent responses by Iran that will skyrocket our gas prices?

    You mean does anyone want to parrot some establishment media talking points? I’m sure you’ll find a few that are more than willing.

    Guess you better. Although you may be called a “conspiracy theorist”.

    Americans cheered when we took out ubl this guy has been responsible for many American lives over the years. War lord that was planning to attack more Americans.
    I’m also glad we sent Marines in to protect our embassy. Something that should have been done in Benghazi’s.
    I’m not a trump supporter at all and I have a son in the region but I favor tracking down terrorist.

    Me wanting to learn more about this would make me a conspiracy theorist? What in the actual fuck are you even talking about. Just back out of the conversation if you’re going to be like this. It’s dumb. This seems extremely relevant

    The only reasons we’re over there are the ones people get called conspiracy theorists for daring to bring up. I apologize for being snarky but you’re initial comment won’t wield any truthful results. You’re shutting down the conversation before it even begins. The term “conspiracy theorist” doesn’t mean anything. It’s now just a way for the mainstream media to discredit people who don’t fall in line with their narratives.

    And you know Russia has already been on the phone with Iran with offers of support.
