Iran has been emboldened by Obama’s handling of them...

I am in the Tucker camp, and hate this war postering. I think Trump’s biggest, and only, weakness is that he fellates the generals.

That being said this is pretty funny and I actually think it’s an effective deterrent. More so than giving someone $1.7 billion in cash.

Hopefully both of their refineries are included in that. It would cripple them.

If we hit 52 Iranian sites, the war is over.

Surely you don’t believe that the word “targeted” suggests that all 52 will be hit.

“Those targets will be hit very hard”

Sounds more like he’s going scorched earth to me.

I’ve got to say it’s a damn good feeling to know when I go to bed at night there’s a man in the White House who loves this country as much as I do and is ready at any moment to unleash unrelenting hell fire without mercy or hesitation on anyone stupid enough to threaten it.

Or multiple.

Hitting all 52 sites would likely leave a smoking hole between Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think the response will be proportional to what they do.

Are you claiming the US military’s 52 chosen sites includes cultural targets? That is incredibly unlikely.

“Cultural site” does not necessarily equate to “places important to Iranian culture”

You do realize it was the US military that chose these 52 sites, right? You think they chose cultural centers?

What's currently located in the former US Embassy in Tehran?

Under international law, it's still ours.

It's a trophy to them.

I suspect it'll be rubble.
