That's not what I'm arguing at all. I'm saying the Fox News audience is a miniscule percentage of the American population. When you compare it to the other networks, their audiences are all tiny.

Do suicide bombs still work? Vehicle-borne IEDs? Shoulder-mounted stand-alone ground to air missiles? We should probably expect some of those everywhere Iran has friends.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,362]

We’re going to need a timeline of events here between the boat bombings, the CIA informant executed, the cyber offensive, the drone getting shot down, and the time Tucker Carlson prevented World War 3. 

Oh wait, never mind this is still bullshit.  We’re not going to war with Iran.

asking permission to attack? Fucking next-level gamesmanship. No one's ever even tried it. Maybe they say "yes" on accident and then THEY are the asshole when a bunch of civilians die!

It’s like asking the popular girl in school if you can tell people that you kissed her, and her telling you to fuck off.

Unfortunately for Trump, she’s not going to come back in two weeks and say she’s needs money and that for a $100, she’ll let you go down on her for 10 minutes as long as you don’t tell anybody.

Is that your position?  You're upset because we haven't started sending young men 11 thousand miles away to kill Iranians?   

What if one of our allies, say a country that is a mere 900 miles from Iran, attacks first?   They could use their own missiles, use their own jets, use their own tanks, and send their own young people to destabilize Iran and turn it into a set of easily managed micro-states. 

If they want this war so much, why can't they fight it themselves?  

If war starts, are you going to sign up for military service?  Or will you keep your job here, spending hours and hours and hours trying to influence the population of a state with 38 electoral votes?

Since may of you seem to enjoy false flags, I offer you a movie that is possibly more relevant today than it was in 1995.

"Canadian Bacon" with John Candy.  (His last film)

Here it is, in its entirety, for free.  Enjoy.

That’s one of the things that really makes me wonder about this whole thing.  If we hit Iran, we know they’d hit back, and hit back hard, and yet we deployed less than a thousand additional troops, and most of those were for drone operations.  

There should have been another carrier group headed that way, or at the very least some additional ships to support and defend what’s already over there.  The Air Force should have been moving a shit-ton of planes out of the states and Europe.  The Marines and one of the Army’s light infantry divisions, or perhaps an airborne regiment should have been heading over there, even if we weren’t going to invade, to cover areas around the Strait of Hormuz.

This brings me comfort.   From here, the best case scenario is that the current sitting US president rattles his saber as hard as he can, placating our "Allies".  Our 'Allies' increase pressure, but wait, because he is an asshole and he might actually start the war they want.  So they don't JFK him during this term.   

This allows Americans, for the next 18 months, to  continue living in something akin to peace, building, developing, strengthening their communities here at home.   Plus, we don't have to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars (plus interest) from the insatiably greedy banks who are highly incentivized to use those funds to disseminate propaganda that would extend the war in Iran.  Or they use those funds to plan the next one.  And the next one.   And then the big one.   

Best case scenario, sabers rattle and Americans stay home with their families and pursue happiness, instead of traveling to the other side of the world to kill and maim and die.

lol @ this media talking head moron "correcting" Bernie by saying it was a limited strike. She doesn't even say, "But the Trump administration claimed it was a limited strike", she just straight out whitewashes the message by saying it like it's just objective and common truth.

The funny thing about this is it’s so nakedly wag the dog politics.  I have little doubt Trump would gladly sell Iran a nuclear weapon if he could profit off it and get away with it. 

Since the Mueller report came out, everything this administration does will be 99% nonsense with the goal of taking up oxygen in our information/media space.

He’s going to distract as much as possible from the Democratic primaries.

I disagree. He’s backed himself into a corner and now has zero good options to get out of it. Iran understands this and is going to continue goad him into doing something he wants nothing to do with. 

This isn’t a situation Trump can control, and it’s going to end horribly for him (he either comes out looking weak for the world to see or he enters a war he can’t afford to fight).

IMO he’s just going to move on or pull a North Korea and completely capitulate for a photo summit. 

The Iran situation might bubble up again before November 2020 but this isn’t going to war.  Trump can’t control a war and his freedom is pretty much tied to winning the next election.

They’re not dumb enough to give him a win. The only way that happens is if the sanctions are lifted, at which point he already lost. He’s fucked here, and this isn’t a wag the dog situation. This is a result of actions he took over a year ago, and there’s no clean way he gets out of this situation.

If sanctions are lifted, his base gets a little more disenchanted - the hard-core types are pretty pissed about the wall if you read their forums.   They feel like he caved to Pelosi.  Oh, and they are really pissed right now about the delayed ICE raids   Really pissed.

Of course those morons couldn’t explain to you why Iran is being sanctioned, and they damn sure don’t understand that Iran feels like the sanctions are a form of warfare (see Japan in 1940 and mid-1941).

This is exactly right.  And it's concerning, because if he can "fix the border crisis" and get a 1% bump, and "fix the Iran crisis" and get a 1% bump, the manufactured crises will continue until he gets re-elected or one of them goes terribly wrong and we end up in a war.

And if the middle is stupid enough to give him the 1% bumps, then Trump is the leader we deserve.
