The Iranian Attack

Well we saw what happened. Ordered a military strike,then got cold feet. If you look at the trajectory of tensions around the middle east it is fairly clear Iran has been on it's toes since well before the Iraq war. An independent country in their position has been doing what any independent country would be doing, preparing for a strategic defense in the likely scenario of being invaded. Drones shot down by Iran is nothing new. US flying drones dangerously close to international boundaries is nothing new. Sailing ships along the lines of international and national waters is nothing new. The US provokes other countries almost for sport. The drone is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it is merely a statement to stay the fuck back, just like a rattlesnake shaking it's tail. The tanker attack could have been Iran, it could have been a false flag, it could have been carried out by almost anyone in the region or with ties to just about any antagonizing side. Iran is unlikely to be behind this as Trump has been very vocal and shown the world over and over that he isn't stable or of sound mind when it comes to geopolitics. He constantly overreacts to any and all events that make him feel weak or uncomfortable. He has not background in military conflict, no background in political foreign affairs and does not listen to anyone who disagrees with him. Iran does not have a position to start a war without outside support. America on the other hand acts unilaterally all the time. I only have one prediction and that comes with an "if." If Iran is attacked and collapses, terrorism and terror groups will multiply once again giving more support and land base to the proliferation of an already strong network between existing groups.
