"base".  Al-Asad to be specific

[InkaUtexas 25947]

And Taji being reported as well. 

[Celery Man 20951]

And awaaay we go

[Aqua Buddha 14597]

Fuck can we have a Republican president without a war in Iraq?  We're 3 for the last 3 at this point.

[DDD Dad 14339]

I mean, how could anyone have predicted this?

[4th&Five 41554]

It’s just a little noise.

Hopefully. Still waiting to hear about casualties. 

[Lobwedgephil 1139]

Prayers for our troops over there.

At least one other military base was attacked.

If we're being accurate those are Iraqi bases with an untold # of US personnel currently inhabiting them. 

[StruggleBus 3922]

Welp. This just gave Trump the excuse he was looking for to bomb the fuck out of Iran.

I'm sure the same guy that bought all the casinos in Atlantic City has through this completely through.

They didn't use proxies for this.  Either one side is going to behave like an adult and stop escalating or we're going to end up invading Iran.

Make no mistake about it.  We lose a land war in Iran.

Even money that the B-52s from DG are airborne. We get to see who blinks pretty quickly. 

[Sbbruin 21854]

Counterattack already underway.

With debt and American blood. But, we get absolutely nothing out of it, so good trade off.

They have every right to defend themselves. They have shown remarkable restraint in the face of the US’ provocations.

Thanks Trumpkins!  When your relative comes back in a body bag, just think of all Those lib tears that made it all worth it.

I don't understand Iran's position. They should have realized that Trump cancelled the nuclear deal only because it was signed by Obama. Trump has made it clear multiple times, even inviting them to renegotiate. Iranians could have got the same or even a better deal with just a bit of flattery.

That would require 67 votes in the Senate. So, zero%.

I hope we send in Mitch and the Senate Republicans in the first wave of the invasion.

So is this the game thread?

I guess they have backbones.

I doubt we’re invading Iran but we’ll probably go on a targeted air strike campaign.  

Defense Secretary Raytheon out front should have told ya

One side has been behaving like an adult. However, It would have been politically impossible not to respond to Soleimani’s assassination. Did you see the millions in the street following his murder?
