Did world war 3 just start?

No, I mean he’s going to think it’s an affront directed towards him.

Your hatred for President Trump oozes from your pores.

President is apparently going to address the nation tonight.
The ONE thing that potentially may have me vote for Trump, may come to pass. I’ve never voted against a president engaged in a war. Solely for the historical second guessing. I pray it does not come to that.

I understand Iran completely. They know the odds of American boots on the ground in Iran, is remote. They are out to destabilize the region, and cultivate support both at home and in Iraq. If you remember, just weeks ago, citizens of both Iran and Iraq took to the streets to protest.... IRAN. With Trump’s actions, Iran has been fortunate to gain support in both countries. And I’m sure, as would anybody, the Iraqis aren’t too keen on have their country become a battleground between two foreign powers.

Maybe they think this is good for them, but if these reports of missile attacks and Iranian air force are true - wouldn't this just give us justification for a full-on war with them. I mean, they are going to "lose" in a war with us, even if we don't put boots on the ground. The Iranian government can only use Trump's actions for propaganda if they are still alive and functioning - if they escalate this into a real war, it would be the end of their government. Well, I think it would be anyway. It just seems so pointless, if their government leaders weren't such *******s we would probably be allies.

I would be deeply concerned about any president who does not take the attacking and killing of Americans as an affront. That's the president's *job*.

No US casualties so far, assessment ongoing. Yes, that is CNN....

Uhhh, ok? Sorry, if you disagree, but the president iMo has always thought of himself before country.

If he took it as an affordable to the nation, I would be ok with that. I don’t think he does. I think he think he’s the one being “punked,” and Iran seems to purposefully attempting to troll him.

Iran always insults Republican presidents. They love Democrats presidents. Wonder why this is

Your knowledge of American-Iranian relations apparently starts in 1980. I suggest you research earlier.

Trump is being baited by the regime in Iran.
He cannot knee jerk react here.

Call me unimpressed with this "response." Where's the coordination with other forces and terrorists? No attack from Hezbollah on Israel, no drone strikes on Saudi oil refineries like last year, no car bombs, no closing of the Persian Gulf. This is definitely an escalation worthy of inbound Tomahawks but this isn't Pearl Harbor.

Iran is making a measured attack in an attempt to goad the US into a bigger conflict.
It's a blinking contest, the ultimate test of Trump's presidency.

No knees required.
Just some sitting and pushing buttons.

 

[OakRiver]

Every real American should be taking this personally and the killing of any Americans personally

If the leader of a country does not take an attack on their country seriously are they worthy of leading that country?

 

[bwframe]

We need to level the Iran missile launch sights, then re-access.

 

[Tombs]

No US causalities reported.

 

[OakRiver]

No US causalities reported.

Lets hope it stays that way, and that our allies also suffer no loss of life.

That gives everyone a way out while saving face.

Looks like no casualties. Ceremonial attack with Iran using primitive missiles and disinformation to rally Tehran. Iran blinked, and Trump won. Best to leave it there and take the win.
