  • American soldiers inside the embassy have fired tear gas, stun grenades and warning shots at hundreds of fighters who broke down the compound gate and set fires within the complex on Tuesady
  • The ambassador was on leave at the time of the attack and embassy staff had already been evacuated before the US marine guard became besieged at the compound
  • Trump has vowed to hold Tehran accountable for the embassy attack, which is in retaliation for US air strikes on the Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah on Sunday night
  • Those USAF strikes were themselves in retaliation for last week's killing of an American contractor in Kirkuk
  • 'Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will.' Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning. 'Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!'

Makes sense.

He stands to lose reelection this year so it follows that he'd start a war to cling on to some popularity

It's a big deal that the embassy has been attacked.

CNN is more concerned with bringing in the new year with Anderson Cooper and some other gay guy.

He's not going to start a new conflict. One of his campaign points was to reduce our role in foreign matters. We can trust that he will keep his word.

Iran's a lot different than Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria.
Anyway, I'm curious to know if Donald has any real information that it was an Iranian instigation or if he's just saying it because he has a boner for attacking Iran whenever there's a reason to.

Seems to be the ole republican trick. Start a war and hope people forget all the shitty things you have done and re-elect you.

I don't think it would be boots on the ground. Just drone strikes and stuff.

Still a really bad decision.

Have you seen our president?

But yeah, if there's an air of indifference here it's because people know they can't really do much about it. Obviously getting attacked is bad, obviously the threat of a war is even worse. But it's not up to us.

Or are you just being a silly Billy?

Well, the thing is that the left says that our real president is Putin and Trump is just his puppet. Yet they also say if Trump goes to war with Iran, we're going to war with Russia. So, which is it?

Iran will not be like Iraq WMD thing. i feel the world will not let our country do that again without real consequences. frankly isolating our country will lead to war. its like history will repeat again.

Trump probably is Putin's puppet. But not on purpose. He is using trump.

Putin would love to see our country weakened. So Russia can become more powerful.

But I think you're just being insincere anyway.

And if you think I'm a lefty, lol you're way off. I'm closer to a pub than anything. I just think trump is a moron.

The US has zero practical way to get its army into the country. They can't invade from the Gulfs, they can't invade from Iraq, they can't invade from Turkey, they can't invade from Pakistan, attempting to invade from Afghanistan would require crossing enormous desert wasteland (not to mention putting troops there is going to put up every red flag in Russia).

It would cost the US thousands of lives.

The US wont lose in the sense that Iran will conquer the US

But it will lose in the sense that it cant achieve any practical goals

Iran has a strong military and geography on its side. Theres only a few supply and Travel lines an invading army could use and Iran would inflict so much damage, sabotage and casualties that it would horrify the US population while gaining the US nothing

it will make Vietnam look like a warm up
