I think/hope you are correct about what happens. I think the reality on the ground differs greatly from how things will be positioned by the media and the progressive left.  They will continue to push the narrative that trump is an unhinged lunatic who needs psychiatric care and is terrifying to have as president. especially in an election year!

They’ll frame it as Trump’s “wag the dog” moment coming just before his impeachment trial.

That is a very, very serious escalation.

 

And probably a counter-productive one - the IRGC is more than robust enough to recover from the assassination of their head.  This is a symbolic gesture that leaves them intact, operationally undegraded, and angry.

Probably.

It is pretty clear that this Administration retaliates to any provocation in overwhelming ways. Either Iran provokes us again and sees a bigger response, or they see that if they provoke us then another, bigger response will inevitably follow.  Problem is that Iran has a “don’t give a *****” attitude and a willingness to keep provoking.

 

These Long War Journal guys know this region pretty well. Here’s an article of some interest.

As Trump falls into a middle eastern war, Obama just looks better and better

Kerry's on record on this issue.  You should get internet access, there's lots of stuff to read and you wouldn't be upset at poor Mike Pompeo. 

 

Personally I think Obama wanted his Tower

Tehran to be in Washington.

Lots happening all at once in Iraq tonight.

Almost a Godfather/Scorsese-like housecleaning montage. All we need now is footage of Trump in a church while this was going down.

Iran-backed terrorist-turned-politician leads demonstration against US Embassy in Iraq

 

-------------------------

Given the level of escalation, I can't help wondering if it was known, to all involved in this decision, that Soleimani was in one of the vehicles. Really hoping this isn't a Neocon victory right now...

I wouldn't doubt they've had these guys under surveillance for a time. No reason to clean house until they escalated the violence against the US.

Hearing from people who'd know that this was definitely done with full knowledge and understanding of who was in the vehicle. Also being told confidence is high that this can be tied off without more... we'll see on that one.

Getting Trump's full attention seems not to be... healthy.

They chose…poorly.

 

 

 

 

 

Congressional Democrats Denounce Killing of Soleimani: Trump is Bringing U.S. to ‘Brink of an Illegal War.’ 
 

They didn’t care when Obama droned American teenagers, but this, this, is beyond the pale because reasons.

Few things will show the depths of TDS than something like this.

 

Look at the left right now. They don't care about this country. They care about killing Trump. At this very moment, all they can do is attack the leader of our country who killed a bunch of American-killing badasses.

 

Just when you thought it couldn't get more embarrassing to be a leftist...
