Just heard Iran attacked US military bases in Iraq

What do you think Trump will do?

If the prognosis is grim, do we want to know it? Yet more inhumanity and world pollution would seem to be likely.

@alan20 You poor fuck

@Thunderstruck Expected.

This is the perfect point at which to stop the escalation. The Iranians seem to have chosen targets specifically unmanned and sparse and there are no deaths as the result of their attacks. That's not an accident, as these are heavily populated bases.

The US acted badly and Iran responded. Now we can sit down at a table and negotiate. But if Trump is uncertain about his political future, he will launch a war as a reckless and deadly as any we've seen in modern history.

@LvChris Well, here's the thing - we don't know if we don't try. That would be contempt prior to investigation. No, it might not work (or it might), this time but history demonstrated patterns and a pattern of even failed efforts is more valuable than a pattern of war and oppression for greed.

And negotiating doesn't imply bending Iran to our demands. It means sitting down and compromising. We occupy a foreign land; can you imagine if another country set up military bases and flooded in with private security forces and corporations just to get our timber or another resource? We'd be at all-out war within weeks. Yet our nation routinely treats others exactly this way. Maybe it's time for us to stop.

@Graylight Satellite pictures from the attacked bases are in, and show that the rockets that got through were pinpoint accurate (Like a couple of feet accurate) and maybe a quarter of the yield they could've had. Even if only one third got through, Iran has plenty more.

They also warned Iraq ahead of time, knowing they'd pass it on to US, and attacked bases further away from the border giving them time to see the attack on radar and take shelters (Reports from the field saying that's exactly what they did, the bases weren't empty but the targeted structures were).

I sort of forgot the ways these can send a message. This is like Iran showing "We can assassinate ALL your generals in Middle East if it comes to that" (Remember this would have been a big no-no before the strike Trump ordered), and the generals are like "Fuck NO, let's not go to war with Iran". Still, I'm somewhat impressed at the restraint on both sides.

I also want to point out ALL the people who were loudly declaring that Iran won't attack back etc. It definitely changes the political situation though, because I believe this may be the first thing that can be conclusively pinned on Iran since the revolution. Maybe it'll be another 40 years of "But remember that one day they hit our bases, we must act now!"
Basically what he did; toss out a bunch of “wolf tickets”. And then take them back.

@bijouxbroussard 😂😂😂😂 well honestly you're pretty hot for angry old woman
@Thunderstruck Funny, considering your fellow whines constantly about being “mistreated”. Wanted to sue SNL for making fun of him. “President Snowflake”.

@bijouxbroussard I don't have fellows princess. I kinda do my own thing I don't tribe up. I'm quite happy to be an asshole of my own choosing bayyyyyyybeeee! Now back to you... You're pretty damn hot for an eternally pissed off individual, which is rare most angry people are ugly as hell. How do you pull it off?

Some people had to sleep I guess. Strike was about 12 hours ago. Although this being SW, people will be posting it as breaking news for weeks. 😂

To answer the question, Trump did what had to be done... he went to sleep. I'm not really sure what happens after that.
antonioio · 70-79, M
He is liable to do anything
Were you sleeping because that happened 7 hours ago!
Viper · M
Go to Twitter... cus that's what he always does...
That's old news. Happened hours ago.

Best not to second guess. He will be speaking to the nation sometime this morning.
xixgun · M
Probably laugh because they missed and none of their missiles did any real damage.
TexChik · F
The macho idiot Iranians launched 25 ? Ballistic missiles at American bases in Iraq . They didn’t hit anything , didn’t kill anyone , by design . To them it was about saving face , but of course they didn’t want a devastating lethal response from the US . Trump won’t do anything unless lives are lost .
TexChik · F
@SW-User oh please libby , if you are watching MSM, there’s your 10000 lies . You really should know what you are talking about before accusing anyone of anything .., but then again if you did , you wouldn’t be a liberal 🤷🏻‍♀️
SW-User

TexChik · F
@SW-User obviously not the brightest liberal . You know? Lay out the facts for us ... make your case.

Trump will do something unhinged and incompetent, without thought of the consequences. That is the only reliable thing he does.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Graylight Yes, but as long as Trump personally benefits, what are a few children?
Graylight · 51-55, F
@windinhishair They probably want to die to serve Trump's greater glory. After all, who wouldn't, right?
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Graylight If he wins in November, perhaps they will start the Trump Youth organization to pledge fealty to their leader.
Thunderstruck · 51-55, M

SW-User

Thunderstruck · 51-55, M
@SW-User There is no war. Just a bunch of idiots bitching

@Thunderstruck
Nothing they've already begged for forgiveness.

Funny, I'm not finding anything that supports your claim. Care to provide proof?
Numberz · F
War please.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
Finally stand up to the enemies of the USA, instead of kissing arse and giving billions in foreign aid to countries that hate America
Thunderstruck · 51-55, M
