Outrage over sovereignty?

OK, Iran struck back, and pretty much failed to accomplish anything other than a propaganda edge for its leaders when it fired ballistic missiles from IRAN into another "SOVEREIGN" country, viz: Iraq, at 2 bases that housed U.S. service members. When this administration took out Soleimani, there was much ado about "sovereignty", by many American politicians and many Iraqi politicians, despite the fact the deceased was NOT in HIS country, but in Iraq. I believe too, the UN told him to stay out, did they not? Is that outrage about a nation's sovereignty", in this case, Iraq's being violated by Iranian missiles landing on Iraqi territory worthy of outrage too? OR is it just American, mostly, left, capitulation crying out when it suits their cause?

I feel like you’re missing a whooooole lot of context and nuance here.

But yes, Iraq did issue a statement about protesting any violations of its sovereignty and attacks on its territory yadda yadda - but as no Iraqis were hurt, and Iraq is functionally almost an Iranian client state at this point, the whole thing was muted and circumspect.

@sunsporter1649 This is exactly what a complete retard would say, what an amazing coincidence.

@QuixoticSoul LOL, another way to keep prolonging any situation, since actually fixing any problem would incur diplomats losing their fat cat jobs

@QuixoticSoul Name one point of contention that has been solved by diplomacy not enforced by the point of a gun

@sunsporter1649 Are you trying to have a conversation with yourself or something? This level of left field goes waaaaaay beyond strawmen.
