mrussel1 said:Well one thing's for sure after the past 48 hours.. It's a good thing we assassinated the general, since it prevented an imminent attack on US personnel in the region. Imagine if the general had been alive, it's certainly possible that Iran may have rained some missiles on a US facility. Good thing the assassination acted as a clear deterrent.It's a hopeless situation...0

pjl44 said:cincybearcat said:mrussel1 said:tbergs said:cincybearcat said:Why can't we talk about things about trump without bringing all the other things into it. Can't anyone here just discuss the current event without extrapolating?
1) I know trump started this mess with a crazy assassination of an Iranian official....not good. Unsure if there was any real data/reasoning (imminent threats). I tend to think there were not, other than the obvious fact that he was always working towards potential threats. But then again, so is Putin.
Regardless of how we go to this point, his words today were at least on point (for the most part) and will allow things to settle down a little. Just as the Iranian's throwing rockets hoping to not kill people. So while I'm under no illusion that Iran will actually stop trying to hurt america and especially American interests in the middle east and I am under no illusion that trump is all calm now and won't do something stupid...I feel better than I did before his speech. Not a lot better, but a little. and at least I don't feel worse.
Alrighty then trump sucks, all is bad, Go Blue Team! Back in line.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Let's recap:
1. JCPOA - gone. In fact, Iran had committed to sticking to it even after the US pulled out, but after the assassination, they stated they will start enriching again. And who can blame them? They need a deterrent to attack, just NK.
2. Iraq - shambles. We've blown up our relationship with the Shia majority in that country. Reset that relationship.
3. Troops - we're now adding troops to the region, not bringing them home. Increase investment of blood and treasure
4. Allies - alienated, yet again.
So while yes...this morning the chance of war has been reduced from where it was 48 hours ago, it's substantially worse than it was a week ago and infinitely worse than it was 3 years ago. This is what Trump's presidency has wrought.
I eagerly await counters to this assessment.0 -
