crazy Clancy time here:

Iran leaders wanted Soleimani gone. (combo of articles from Intercept documenting secret memos showing concerns about his brutality and personal ambition being problems; speculation he was angling for Rouhani's job and Friedman's hamfisted take down of him as a military moron).

Back channel negotiations with US to relieve sanctions and concerns over civil unrest.

"leaked" intelligence to US of Soleimani plans and location.

designed retaliation and subsequent stand down.


Just throwing out for fun.

Sadly true.

The guy has shown nothing but restraint from a military standpoint. At what point are you going to see that?

I'll admit, one of my FEARS about Trump was being impulsive and blowing up the world. Hes only proven that assumption wrong and I changed my stance when the drone went down. It's time for you to review yourself.

I think as long as no US casualties holds...there is a better than 50% chance we dont attack in return.

I am glad. For the people of Iran.

But...they are enriching uranium every day from feeder reactors.

THEY CANNOT be allowed to gain nuclear weapons. Israel will go Ham on them and destroy every suspected nuclear site.

SHOULD we destroy their nuclear sites? Now? I am torn

Exactly!

Iran is lead by an apocalyptic death cult. They are garbage and if they were wiped off the face of the earth then it would mean the world would be better off. This does NOT go for the Iranian people. There are some good people over there that hate the leadership. Do you destroy their oil fields? That would hurt the good folks too. What is the end game? This is a tough situation. No U.S. casualties too. A shot across the bow?

Yeah let’s just give them time to finally build an icbm so they can actually kill us...

Um, nah. Wipe out the cause before the symptoms occur.

Yeah, but that's the way dims play the game. LBJ wouldn't let missile sites in N Vietnam be destroyed if they weren't operational, he was too damn stupid to destroy their AF on the ground, and he wouldn't stop weapons from being imported into N Vietnam.

Can we simultaneously believe that Iran is threat enough that they must be reckoned with, while also believing that they are so scared of us that they would choose to retaliate with no casualties?

I don't think both can be true.

We can certainly believe they've wreaked destruction across the ME and could continue to do so including killing our soldiers, diplomats and citizens in the area. One of the people responsible for doing so was targeted and removed. I think it's reasonable to believe they recognize we could crush them so they chose a face saving retaliation.

How about this one? Soleimani and Trump were secretly sharing a mistress stripper named "Little Egypt". Trump promised her an ambassadorship and a new SUV if she gave up Soleimani's location. This way, Trump has her all for himself.

We've wreaked destruction across the ME and continue to do so. Our gov is doing it right out in the open, too.

I should have specified "threat to America"
