Four embassies supposedly were under threat of “imminent attack.”
But none of them were warned? On the very outside chance that Trump is not lying, the people of those embassies were damn lucky. But that’s a very outside chance. Had Bin Laden been killed on 9/10, 9/11 would have still happened.

If Iran gave the go ahead to blow up our embassies, what is stopping them from carrying out the attack? It wasn’t like General Salami was going to do it personally.

Just wanted to revive this to note that if Soleimani had agreed to investigate joe biden, he'd still be alive today. Good point! Maybe he had dirt on Hillary Clinton!! ::rimshot:: He probably had photos of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump at a Jeffrey Epstein party.

So long as this thread is back up, I’ll just note that Iran A: totally spazzed out and killed an entire plane full of Canadians, Brits and Ukrainians, B: denied it, C: fessed up: and D: arrested the British Ambassador when he was photographing some of the widespread protests over the plane incident.
The Iranian government is doubling down on stupid. i feel for the people of Iran, but fuck their leaders. They’re making Trump look statesmanly by comparison.

Iranians were demonstrating in the streets against their own regime until we killed Suleimani. Then they switched to demonstrating against us.

I have to say, though I think Donald Trump is a lying, misogynistic, narcissistic dickwad, that I still can’t find myself disagreeing with what he did. How much more of Iran funding terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, how much more destabilization in Iraq, how much more of propping up Assad, how many more tankers attacked in the gulf, how many more American installations to be attacked, before it would be okay to slap them? They could have done what the Iranians have threatened to do, and rained down fire on entire Iranian cities. No, they took out one dickhead, to show that they could, and they would.
One of my friends was ranting on FB about how this was an act that was a spur of the moment, that the risks were not calculated. Bullshit. This guy was on the hit list for years, and I would bet that exactly all the issues that could happen were analyzed and laid out long ago, and kept up to date. Could they predict with certainty? No. But I bet they were pretty comfortable with it. Because the Iranians are vulnerable, and they know it.
The Iranians are once again back protesting against their government in the streets, despite the fact that their government massacred a couple of hundred of them for doing just that just a few weeks ago. They’re pissed, for the 50 or so people that died at the funeral because the regime wanted big crowds there, and because their government, despite what was going on with the US, did not ground all commercial flights, and this resulted in that airplane being shot down.

Want a real eye-opener: Record some blathering head cable news shows, but don't watch them until 90 days later. After three months, and after you've watched them, ask yourself if any of those people are anything other than idiots. Well, 5 down, 85 to go. Still idiots. Well, 10 down, 80 to go. Still idiots.
