Your not the only one who has served this country. I’m not a veterinarian either but I know a jackass when I see one.
You just seem to be anti Trump, which is your right, but I’m sure you’d find a problem if Trump ended world hunger.
But you are coming off as an apologist and a bitch. This country didn’t become the best by sitting back and waiting. This can and should be ended quickly.

Russia doesn’t give a shite about Iran. Their eye is on the Balkans and this would divert world attention. China doesn’t want anything to do with them either. For the most part this is US-Iran only with marginal disruption from anyone else.
And it is by far one sided.

All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.
He definitely knows if there are casualties, which with his “All is well” opening tells me that there may not even be any casualties.

Naw I respect your service. But the second you use it to defend your global political worldview, especially after lecturing us about literal ancient history, it looks pretty lame
I only bring it up when people say dumbass things like "well lets just go frick them up and blow their culture away."
We survive and dominate the world not because people are afraid of us (although we have amiltary to be feared) but also because we represent something of benevolent kingdom. Unlike past civilizations we do not seek to own other countries or steal resources, we do not seek to subjugate others and turn them into our slaves. But the moment we look like an aggressor, we lose that respect and when I see some dumbass kis just yell out "well lets go fightem!!" my only instinct is to say: Whose going to fight them? you? You're going to get your arse up grab a rifle and drop into another's country and look someone else in the eye who has just as much to defend as you do and shoot them?"
People who talk about blowing other people up just to flex on them have no insight whatsoever on what it means to be powerful.

Dude if we wanted oil we would have just invaded Venezuela. Much closer and much less likely to suicide themselves

Sooo... should we just sit back and do nothing when people attack our embassy and kill Americans?

This idea that we're just going to blow them up and be done with it is the same thought process people had with Afghanistan and Iraq.

They didn't?
Then why did the U.S. sit the entire second world wa out...watching Hitler take over Europe, bomb london daily. The U.S. only intervened when IT was a attack.
This country wasn't at its best when it got involved in wars it didn't need to be. See: vietnam.
You sound young and a little misinformed but don't make this a trump issue it really isnt about him. We voted him in, it is about us and how we think. We need to be better at realizing what is in our interest and what isnt.

The opposite holds true as well. If we are attacked and it goes without a swift and strong response, we lose respect and invite additional attacks.

In 2020 the United States is by far the world leader and Superpower and contrary to some people’s beliefs no one, including China and especially Russia are even close.
The more chaos the US creates in the Middle East the better the world is and at the moment Iran is the largest punching bag in the region. Other than hit and miss terrorist acts the United States has nothing to worry about. Iran is the regional power and they just got knocked in the teeth.
North Korea is the one that is unpredictable and will have to be dealt with eventually but that’s another subject.

Did the US not get attacked?

Well as I see it we have 3 options:
1. All out war.
2. Do nothing
3. Tactical response with minimal ACTUAL damage to the iranians
Trump will likely go for #3. He doesn't have to go into a war, he doesn't look bad in front of the people cleaning his butthole, and Iran can peacefully desecalate knowing they "stood up" to a great power and come out unscathed.

Yep,there’s a. reason those folks hate us.Dating back many tears ago.
Let’s wipe them out because we invade them?
Makes no sense.That’s not our country.
I know how we would feel if other countries came here doing what we do there.

Are you aware that he’s already done #3 which was after the embassy was attacked?
What leads you to believe that he would do anything else?
