    The world has been busy with Ukraine, so Iran, feeling ignored, shoots 6 ballistic missiles into our base.  Time to drop pallets of cash onto their tatmacs, Obama style.  Here we go, Joe, time to capitulate, pay up, and hide in your Delaware basement with 32 flavors of your favorite Carole Baskin Robbins while your foreign “policy” fails.
    Ok I see you get your news from Drudge which linked to an early report where Iraqi officials claimed it hit a US base. This is inaccurate and the Iraqis have walked that back and the US has stated it did not hit our base or consulate.  It was several miles from the strike.  No damage or casualties and Iran said Israeli operations were the target. 

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/missiles-target-us-consulate-in-north-iraq-no-casualties/2022/03/12/6a64c7fc-a263-11ec-9438-255709b6cddc_story.html

    An Iraqi official in Baghdad initially said several missiles had hit the U.S. consulate in Irbil, the intended target of the attack. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said none of the missiles had struck the U.S. facility but that residential areas around the compound had been hit.
    new and unoccupied..... and still not hit.

    How about one of the other separate threads (or a new one) on Iraq, ignore our two pseudo-right wing comedians, and get back to talking about Ukraine.  Let's not get sucked into the other nonsense.

    First American causality...

    Brent Renaud, an American Journalist, Is Killed in Ukraine (msn.com)

    Brent Renaud, an award-winning American filmmaker and journalist, was killed in Ukraine on Sunday while reporting in a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, according to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry.

    Mr. Renaud, 50, had worked for a number of American news and media organizations in the past, including HBO, NBC and The New York Times. The Ukrainian authorities said he was killed in Irpin, a suburb that has been the site of intense shelling by Russian forces in recent days, but the details of his death were not immediately clear. Ukrainian officials said another journalist was wounded as well.

    At the time of his death Mr. Renaud was on assignment for Time Studios working on a “project focused on the global refugee crisis,” according to a statement from Time executives.

    Sign up for The Morning newsletter from The New York Times

    Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said in a statement that Mr. Renaud “paid with his life for attempting to expose the insidiousness, cruelty and ruthlessness of the aggressor.”

    Mr. Renaud had contributed to The Times in previous years, most recently in 2015, but he was not on assignment for the company in Ukraine. Early reports that he was working for The Times in Ukraine circulated because he was found with a Times press badge that had been issued for an assignment years ago.

    “We are deeply saddened to hear of Brent Renaud’s death,” said Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for The Times. “Brent was a talented filmmaker.”

    Mr. Renaud often worked with his brother, Craig Renaud, and won a Peabody award for a Vice News documentary about a school in Chicago. The two have worked on film and television projects from conflict zones and hot spots around the world.

    Over the past decade, the brothers had covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the earthquake in Haiti, cartel violence in Mexico and youth refugees in Central America, according to their website.

    Mr. Renaud was a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University from 2018 to 2019. Ann Marie Lipinski, curator of the Nieman Foundation, posted on Twitter on Sunday that Mr. Renaud “was gifted and kind, and his work was infused with humanity.” Lamenting his death, she said that “the world and journalism are lesser for it.”

    Mr. Renaud’s reporting partner who was shot, Juan Arredondo, was also a Nieman fellow in the 2019 class. A video posted on the Okhmatdyt hospital’s Instagram page showed Mr. Arredondo describing the shooting from a hospital bed. He said they were shot in a car after they passed a checkpoint while going to film civilians fleeing the fighting.

    Interesting take…you know you struck a nerve when the troll word comes out.  How dare you put down the shit for brains President or Obummer in this all accepting forum.     Shame Shame Shame!!!
    How about reading about what actually happened. Go ahead and post a link to something that said any missile hit a US facility, let alone six.  Do you just like to traffic in lies? Does it feel good to not know the difference between truth and lies?
    The QtRUmplicans clearly don't know the difference. 
    Just look at the last 6+ years of believing the thousands of lies that spewed from God's orange gift. And that continue to spew from him.
    Now add all the conspiracy theories they believe that come from some dude in his basement.

    I've heard it referred to as a post-truth era, where 'feelings have more weight than facts'. For many individuals who embody this description, I'm not sure that 'is it true' is even an internal question - so much easier to start feeling, stop thinking, keep sharing.

    This was great. Especially the point about Western governments fueling the fire rather than engaging in diplomacy.

    "A long, drawn-out insurgency in Ukraine would be great for the gangster hawks in Washington, it's what they dream of, 'playing the game' as they do, 'with the bravery of being out of range.'"
