| SpokenTruth said: Well hell. We may have just started a war. We (the US) carried out an airstrike that in Iraq killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran’s elite Quds Force and architect of its regional security apparatus and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. This is the kind of action that Iran will retaliate for...militarily. For all the talk about bringing the troops home and ending the wars in the Middle East and southwest Asia, we may have ruined it all. |
War is in the DNA of America so starting a war is just business as usual, don't worry too much about it.
Even as an American you shouldn't worry about it, it's the government's problem, they did it so let them muddle through.
I have no sympathy for Iran, as the free-thinker that I am, they are at the absolute opposite of everything I stand for. But I don't have much sympathy for the US either, this habit of thinking they are so superior that they can murder someone like that and get away with it.
At the end of the day I only see 2 bullies that are threatening each other. None has the higher moral ground so let them bark at each other and do whatever.
Now if you want a prediction, I'd say the US has the advantage, a much more powerful army, high technology and like I said, war being in their DNA so if war it is, then the US will feel right at home like a fish in water. The best Iran can do is terrorist attacks against embassies and other such places but they can't attack the US directly and terrorist attacks happen all the time which means that whatever happens won't be very different from what is already happening all the time.
