There is literally nothing anyone can put at the end of "Trump isn't going to ____" at this point.
Thanks buddy. I mean whatever happens we're just puppets. Can't do anything but wishing for less trouble.

Yeah, theirs is a different kind. They're just paranoid about outside threats, for good reason I might add, but they aren't able to respond too well. Nobody there to tell the big guy he's fucking up.
Turns out Iran's leadership is just as dumb as Trump. Trump is insane but so are the hardline regime figures in Iran.
Sari. Tehran is pretty much the main target if Trumb does Trump things. Damn what a shitty night.
Definitely the feeling of being powerless is the scariest thing, if Trump decides to go to war or worse launch nuclear weapons there is nothing we can do to stop it.
All non-underground nukes cause fallout. The bomb irradiates the dirt it blows up into the air and then it floats along on the wind.
fucking hell there's ZERO chance Trump just lets this happen without a major response
was holding out hope for some sort of restraint from Iran
everything is so so fucked ugh

I even live near an IRGC base. Don't know if I should wake up my parents or let them have one last good sleep.
I can see nothing but a shitty war ahead of us. Hope I'm blind. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't think anything happens tonight brother. But I'd wake my parents up if I lived in Tehran. Stay safe.
This news needs a new thread
It likely depends on what the damage is. These bases get hit with missiles all the time. The damage may be effectively nothing.
Our one ray of hope is that Trump is a lazy coward. He's not likely able to mobilize America simply because it's a lot of work. And risky.
I hope so but even just the act of a retaliation intended to minimize US casualties could set this asshole off. No fucking clue how he will react.
Yeah. It has come to the fact that we could have expected a "discrete" answer by Iran, but not from Trump
My brother was supposedly stationed in SA but he let it spill that everyone is actually in Jordan because they are prepping for a large operation and SA would be an easy target.
It is frustrating to see all this because right now there is nothing that can be done about it.
If his ploy is actually "hah, let's see how you look talking impeachment when your country's at war!" I can't even.
I think that's how people feel, regular people, when any war starts. I can imagine people felt even worse in the run up to many disasters like WW1, WW2, Vietnam, and dozens more in the last century.
I knew going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan were going to be disasters started on lies. Both of the Gulf conflicts were started on lies. I was uneasy before they started and Ive felt that way again for about a week. Knowing that people in these countries, who I don't even know will suffer makes me helpless. It makes me feel sick that my tax dollars fund destruction. My country has yet to apologise for Iraq and destroying their heritage or helping to fund and instigate the Iraq-Iran war. I will never know that kind of suffering or living in constant terror of drones flying overhead. Not only that but Soldiers are used as literal Canon fodder to the bidding of the wealthy.
It's ironic, growing up I was taught so much how it was necessary for the Allies to defeat fascism in WW2 and thanking those that survived. Over time learning that one victor, the U.S. continued blunder after blunder over time to become what it defeated boggles my mind.
Trump declared war the moment he decided to kill a Military General, regardless of that person's history, then we have thrown law out the window and become the rogue 'Empire.' Trump must be removed for war crimes which he has committed ever since in office, in order to set an example, or the U.S. image will be irreparable.
I honestly thought with bolton out of the white house this kind of escalation could of be avoided. Now it feels like he never left.
