America needs to finish the fight before leaving. The whole world is sick of violence from Islamic extremists committed to terrorism. They are a scourge to the entire world and will never stop attacking.

God this shite is so eerily similar to Iraq. It's pretty amazing how Trump has blinded so many to the fact that he's just setting another regime change war


It was in no way similar to Iraq. These people are actively developing nuclear weapons unlike Iraq. They are actively attacking tankers, ships, and military installations. And they were organizing and orchestrating attacks on our embassy. An embassy is sovereign soil. The legally orchestrated an attack against American soil.

All of these are dramatically different and more provocative/incendiary than what Iraq did

How many countries have we invaded and didn't respect this "sovereign soil" tripe?

There are plenty of reasons. You just may not agree with them. I’d rather not concede the seas and sky around some of the most traveled shipping lanes to an insane theocracy hell bent on flexing their nuts on all their neighbors

Isn't this just propaganda by Iran so they don't look like pussies ?

I doubt they want an all out war against the US.

No proof also so is North Korea

Because we've been goading them for years now. Just look at a map of how many military bases we have around Iran.

There were protesters surrounding an embassy hardly grounds for starting a war

No we have been trying to get Iran to throw the first punch for a long time now. Then these protester happen and Trump thinks that's reason enough. Even his own people had to make up some bullshite about how he was planning a big attack just WMDs

Do you know this guy was also responsible for dealing with ISIS? I mean sure I don't think we should have sat on our arse after the embassy situation but starting a war is totally asinine

No single country does. And frankly it would have to be everyone against the US and even then, depending where the war will be fought, it may it still be an even fight

I haven’t seen anyone say that the missles actually hit anything. It’s always worded as “targeted” or “against” the airbases.

Ballistic Missiles do not equal propaganda

Six B-52 bombers heading to Indian Ocean island amid Iran tensions, report says



By WYATT OLSON | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 6, 2020

The Pentagon on Monday ordered six B-52 bombers deployed to Diego Garcia, a British-controlled island in the Indian Ocean, for possible operations against Iran, CNN reported Monday.

The bombers are being sent to Diego Garcia because the island is out of range of Iranian missiles, CNN said, citing an unidentified Pentagon source.

America’s B-52 bomber wings are based at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., and Barksdale Air Force Base, La.
