    Why are people freaking out that this could lead to world war 3? Like I said, I don’t see this as a franz Ferdinand replay. 
    I don’t either.  I don’t know what their end game is.  Iran can’t beat the US in a war so they aren’t going to go to full on war mode in the region.  Starting a war isn’t going to get rid of economic sanctions.  Gotta see what Russia would do.   The more real concern is targeted attacks a few times a year.  Trump will bomb them if they start up the nuclear program again. 

    As crazy as Trump is, I think Iran has to be a little nervous that Trump isn’t going to take their shit if they try to retaliate.  
    iran alone cannot beat us in a war. but iran with assistance from other countries in the middle east could really harm us and israel, because israel is the only ally we have left that would fight to help us. even that is questionable. they take our 4 billion a year and we still have to do their dirty work for them.
    For sure.  Further destabilization is gonna be one of their main options.  Pushing the nuclear program forward too.  

    It is just so fucking weird how fucked up the world still is in 2020.  
    part of me thinks putin will pull the ultimate heel turn on trump and come into any conflict siding with iran. he has been buttering trump up for years and trump has fallen for it.

    i can see russia and china teaming up with iran on this. those two countries have been wanting a fight for a long time.

    You hit it right on H2M.  Yes, this pretty much wraps up where we're heading. 

    This is a good time time to clean house, move past any bullshit notions winning some fucking war, start taking care of each other and the planet, make great music again, become smarter again, have a clear vision again.  That or just eat shit.  Not a hard choice if we think about it.

    He's an immature, narcissistic, petulant,  spoiled 12yr old behaving like a 5yr old who throws a tantrum everytime he doesn't  get what he wants or feels slighted in some way.
    Who also happens to be a lying racist xenophobe who doesn't understand nor care about the constitution.

    Now imagine his supporters/voters

    The currently elected president does not understand or believe in the constitution so "war crimes" meaning to him or his supporters.

    Well in reality, there is always a boogeyman. Denying that is kinda crazy. It’s just that the real boogeyman right now is Russia and Putin. All the others are pieces of the chess board (NK, Iran, Syria) and instill wonder where China fits in. Cause those fuckers are boogeymen too for all the intellectual property they have stolen over the years. They are no ones friend. 

    That said I cannot believe how apparent it is that trump is using the embassy issue to remind his voters of Benghazi and that he is acting all tough militarily to deflect from the impeachment and the fact that he is still doing nothing to protect the USA and the elections from the real boogeyman.

    And, trump is a the boogeyman for far too many. The US President isn’t going to make everyone friends, the US president will always be someone’s boogeyman, but trump has taken this to a whole other level.

    It’s worse than that to me. Just awful and to say it shows a complete lack of any morales. But it’s just 1 more piece of evidence of this for trump. We already knew that.

    The whole thing is sickening.  The sad irony is that Trump would take the JCPOA deal, all day, every day with NK and declare it the greatest negotiation success of all time.
