US forces in Iraq under attack from Iranian cruise missiles. [IMPORTANT STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Arc
- Start date
Oh well.
Maybe the US shouldn't go assassinating people if they don't want countries to react strongly.
I can't believe some of this chest-thumping bullshit I'm reading in here.
They already did though didn't they?, I thought the US was packing up and leaving.
I have very little faith that the US isn't currently bombing the shit out of who knows what currently.
It's weird because it's not like we won anywhere recently. I guess you just get points for blowing up buildings and creating more terrorists?
Again, the Iranian AF is likely in the air to avoid being targeted. Their jets are based on the F5 from the 50's. Their AF is a complete joke.

thanks for this, i was catching up and it was getting really bad with the drive-bys
Just spoke to my friend in Tehran. He said he is worried because he doesn't know what kind of retaliation Trump will put forward.
Their parliament voted a resolution but it was non binding. Now it's up to Iraq's government to decide how to act. The US sent a letter to announce the withdrawal but then said it was a mistake. So it's still very confusing.
German news agency is reporting that German soldiers in attacked Erbil base are ok.
Yes?
There hasn't been much of a precedent for a President deliberately and this obviously trying to start a war that could have resulted in the immediate loss of American lives. I find it so hard to picture his base being behind this when so many of those enlisted are probably in their families, but I've been incredibly wrong about their views on him so far.
Probably will strike any launching sites and nearby airfields, at a minimum.
Yes, during the Government shutdown where he just lied the entire time. It failed miserably.
Iran is literally a fortress nation, they have like 11,000 Surface to Air launchers. Flying over Iran is impossible.
CNN reported on TV that preparations are underway for Trump to address the nation from the Oval Office.
What? A very quick glance at the wikipedia page for the Iran AF says they're rocking some relatively modern firepower.
He didn't even make it three years in office before starting a new war in the Middle East - one that has the potential to be far worse than Iraq or Afghanistan.
He's started a war with Iran as he heads towards an election. Everything he accused Obama of, he's been actually guilty of.
All his "We're bringing the troops home" and "I don't want to get involved in foreign conflicts" rhetoric was, as expected, a huge lie.
American and Iraqi blood on his hands.

Was going to post this. Sounds like. "This was our retaliation. We will stop if you do". Hope cooler heads prevail.
