| Darwinianevolution said: Measured response is key in this. If Iran had responded by killing american personnel in international soil, there would have been a need for a sterner reaction. If Iran had pushed for terrorist attacks and had claimed their involvement in them, there would have been a need for a sterner reaction. If Iran had threatened in a serious way the oil routes of the area, there would have been a need for a sterner reaction. As it is, the whole deal has ended with Iran throwing missiles in such a way not a single american has turned out dead or wounded. If both Iran and the US are happy to let things as they are now (the US dealt with one of the most dangerous terrorists out there and sent a message to Iran, and Iran tried to save face by throwing missiles to the US bases in a way that supposedly made the regime look "strong" in front of its population and didn't led to immediate war) then that's that. No need for invasion, no need for war. And about those later points, this doesn't weaken the US position in the Middle East at all. If anything it strengthens it. The western allies of the US know about the threat of terrorism, Irak is not going to eject US troops (both because of its own instability and because they also are at odds with Iran), and if Iran ever actually went ahead with the war threats, both US and Saudi Arabia would gladly ally together to take it down. |
Yet you say their general did all these things including killing Americans on foreign soil which you're saying calls for an invasion yet contradict yourself saying a measured response is needed for Iran so which is it mate as a General is part of the country. Just yesterday people like yourself were saying they won't do anything now today it's "It's a move to save face", you know why Iran attacked those bases? To call Trump's bluff he issued threats going on about if any US asset is attacked and guess what 2 were attacked that was the whole point to call out the US and say well I did it so what now. Iraq has already told US to remove their troops from their country right now the US is refusing to leave this flat out contradicts your outlook in fact everything in objective reality is contradicting your view here.
