    Looks like Drumpf pulled out at the last minute last night. I wish his father had.

    I feel a lot of people really want to break the bongos out of the attic and go into full war protest mode ... it has been a while for sure.  Some will have to wait at least a few days longer.

    I'm not sure what the bongo metaphor is (clue me, I really do try to keep up with the times), and I'm not sure what you mean here.  You mean, a lot of people are eager for war?  A lot of people are eager for war so they can have something to protest?  A lot of people are just simply eager to protest? 

    And, hey, how does it feel to feel all those people?  :lol:

    Hmmmm... I wish I had time for bongos and protests, unfortunately working 50 60 hrs a week, raising a family, and trying to keep up with bills really puts a big dent in time allowed for extra curricular activities. I guess putting down my phone could free up some time. Anyway, I’m glad our Commander and Chief pulled out at last minute. I think an escalation would only make things worse, but it seems ridiculous to give our leader credit for something he got us into. I don’t really consider myself anti war, and I’m definitely not naive enough to think Iran is innocent in all this, but for Trump to come into office and tear up the previous administrations work on the Iran nuke deal is pretty petty imo. My oldest brother is a disabled vet from the first gulf war, so yeah I will always stand against war and think war should be used as a last resort. I don’t know every detail about the Iran situation, but to unilaterally withdraw from the Iran nuke deal in the face of our allies is pretty fucked up. IDK
    If it makes anybody feel better and so I don’t come off as hypocritical I was also against Obama’s redline, and some of his administrations other decisions made as it relates to foreign policy and war and peace. I also wasn’t necessarily against Trump dropping the MOAB on the tunnels in Afghanistan.

    an UNMANNED drone was shot down.  hows about you just suck it up... dont threaten retaliation cause... it was an UNMANNED drone. and quite frankly, you shouldnt have been there in the first place. i know the US govt has a hard on for iran and will use any excuse to get in there but lets save the macho bullshit for a just cause.  and yes im well aware the idiot in chief 'pulled back' at the last minute.. how magnanimous of him.

    We just need to avoid a war until a democrat gets in office.  I don't need a sequel to "no more"

    This is interesting because I was kind of thinking that something wasn’t adding up and maybe this narrative of Trump stopping a strike might be him trying to save face. IDK https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d0dd1bfe4b07ae90d9d7925

    Exactly, Cate!

    What comes to my mind is- and I don't know if anyone has asked this already- but what do you suppose if things were the other way around?  You know,  their drone over our land?

    PresidentTrump does not have an itchy trigger finger.
    The last thing he wants is to get us into another quagmire.  He is not W.

    Iran got a free pass this time.  Doubt they'll get another free pass...

    What if Iran flew a drone over your home town?  Free pass/ no free pass?

    Has it been determined that the drone was in Iranian airspace?

    And to answer your question ... I want the Canadian military to shoot it down, of course.  But if Iran has a drone flying over my house, something went terribly wrong with our defence systems, to be honest...lol. And if Iran is snooping around my town, have at it.  Not much to see here, just a small rural Ontario town...

    Wtf was the drone  doing. I would shoot a drone down myself. Some prick was flying one over My friends garden whilst we were  outside.  It was invasive  to say the least and angered my greatly.

    I honestly don't know enough about the particulars.  Its' all modern hi tech warfare.  A crazy video game being played on a world-sized monitor.  Just the latest version of what humans can't seem to do without: WAR.  We are so goddamn good at war.  But where does it get us?  Nowhere.  No-friggin-where.
