This seems more like a strike to prevent a coordination/planning of events to come. It seems like they had a window and they took the head of the snake. There are consequences to every action but what many aren't considering is there are also consequences to inaction.

Seems? Based on what?

This is what happens with "preventative action." It's hard to prove when nothing happened. So far it looks just like a few tweets and statements. Ultimately It'll likely just come down to "do you believe the govt".

Go to one news source and they predictably defend the strike and say it's saving American lives. Go to a couple other news sources and they predictably say the opposite. This is reckless escalation that will endanger Americans at home and abroad. When you can predict what each news source says, can you really trust what they say?

Do I trust the MSM? No. Do I trust the govt? No.

Not really, but I'm not expecting a coherent explanation from him either. Something with bad guy bad intentions in a tweet maybe. There's likely people itching to attack Iran in any way possible and I'm not sure he'd be able to see a difference between a real threat presented with evidence vs a group trying to pass it off needed. I'd guess there will be other people in the Trump administration coming out with some explanation of what they were preventing if that's the route they go.

I've seen a couple statements about a coup that was being planned in Iraq or this was done to prevent a war not start another one. Whatever. If they want to justify this to the public they better have some strong evidence presented. The strength of taking the govts word isn't what it used to be.

I think this hurts Trump's chances at re-election if this does further escalate and especially if it ends up with dead American soldiers or repercussions affect people here. I think there's voters that will tolerate him if he minimizes our military involvement around the world and nothing significant happens economically. Start new conflicts? I think he loses a lot of support.

He won’t get re-elected if this leads to war.

We are sending several thousand troops over as we speak. There specifically in case of retaliation.

You oversimplified it but it's mostly true. Good economy, healthy job market, most of the stuff Repubs care about rolling along fine.

The Democrat party tripping all over itself to run as far left as they can and alienating the center, how can Biden go from being a liability when he speaks to the best candidate the Dems could run?

American politics has become comedy, is sad but funny.

That Iran cash flow in to the Dems has ended after this strike. Now to go after all that is back channeling with the idiots.
