Leave it to Trump take the worst pages from Bill's playback and run with them.

Ideally one would recognise the mistake in the precedent and not repeat history.

Well, it will be interesting to see how this develops.
Probably wouldn't be the first president to start a war to boost chances of re-election.

Trump will lose my vote and many others if this escalates to war. I can't see this being a logical strategy. Maybe he doesn't care about re-election and his Israeli handlers are doing their last biddings. This either has to quiet down fast like the strikes in Syria or he's lost it.

Yeah you're right, he should have taken a page from Obama's playbook... just ignore the attack of an American Embassy, and then afterwards blame said attack on "spontaneous protests" sparked by a YouTube video.

BTW, the week Clinton launched those attacks in Iraq was not only the same week he was impeached, but also the week that his approval rating hit its highest point of his presidency at 73%.

Wait guys, I can't keep up... I thought Trump was Russia's puppet?  And Russia is buddy-buddy with Iran, so what gives here?

You seem to be posting under the impression that those of us who are against Trump are equally for Clinton and that you're are just trying to make Clinton look bad.

Do you realize we could be on the precipice of a major war here? 

This.

Despite political preference, a dangerous and provocative action by someone in power is still just that. 

There will be consequences and nobody can predict just what they will be at the moment.

Nah, just that I've been around long enough to see that Trump's biggest critics today were some of Clinton's biggest supporters back in the 90's, and everything they criticize Trump for today they gave a pass to Clinton back then.

Iran's been targeting Americans and westerners for over 40 years now with damn near impunity.  The Iranian general thought he was untouchable while directing an attack on US personnel from the front lines.  Guess someone had to remind him that his buddy Obama has been out of office for some time now.

I voted for Trump. Putin for what it's worth is a corrupt man. I am not going to post in detail everyting about Russia interference, but yeah democrats have no real case for it. Trump won because of rustbelt and midwest voters switching to GOP on economic and immigration based grounds. If we want to get technical Trump actually lost white votes by % points compared to Romney and he lost evangelicals to Romney. I hate the left trying to discredit his campaign which went through serious recount efforts and I still believe the democrats engaged in voter fraud at many levels based on what I've seen. I think Trump won New Hampshire and I think the popular vote is filled with fake votes...keep in mind I still think he lost the popular vote just not by as much and almost entirely because of California.

Just because Russia didn't change the results of our election doesn't mean they didn't make some efforts to disrupt it. And in most cases at least with the facebook ads it was negative information on both candidates. I have no idea the real nature of WikiLeaks and if they have any real ties to Russia or not. Wikileaks I believe was given information presumably from Russia regarding Hillary Clinton's emails, but there was nothing really to get up in arms because Hillary dug her own grave by having an illegal server and saying the things in the emails. Many large countries from Russia to China and the EU attempt to disrupt our election at some level. 

That being said Israel has a huge stranglehold in American politics starting from a lobbying level, to disproportional donors, and to being our largest aid recipient. Israel has been in control of foreign policy since neoliberal/neoconservatives were put in charge of it. If the neocons are still in power, if Jared Kushner is being given a lot of power, most importantly if Netenyahu is lifetime friends with Trump then there's reason to think that Israel is guiding Trump's policy. I have a lot of technical reasons for why it's obvious, but I don't feel like posting pages of information and then getting called the anti word. I will not support Trump if this escalates to war. He will regain my respect if he manages to get this quiet fast like he did with Syria. I am not a pacifist btw. But it's clear we are here to bully for Israel. Otherwise I guess the war is for oil? I mean this is the same military that idle'd military vehicles 24/7 for almost two decades in Afghanistan.

This will be interesting to watch lol.

I doubt this will immediately lead to war, but who knows at this point. US presidents have done worse to stir public opinion in their court.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Ok, Trump bad for approving the attack that killed a terrorist with a fancy title who has been planning/directing the killing of Americans for years.
