Originally posted by darmstadt View PostAccording to reports the USA were thinking of taking him out some months ago. It's interesting that Trump only gave the order now when he is facing impeachment and re-election....
(Iran probably has a similar list of US officials and citizens, and it’s now more likely that their list will soon become shorter).
It’s possible that it’s far simpler than the impending impeachment, and just a confluence of timing. Trump was trolled by Iranians the week before. He was at Mar a Lago, surrounded by sycophants. He’s a childish narcissist that hates to look bad, especially in front of his adoring fans.Comment

Personally I agree that the chances of direct retaliation are slim; it’s more likely that the proxy war will continue, and one of the US’s allies will get the brunt of it.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostIf you are too stupid to see the difference then visit first Saudi Arabia and only after Iran.
There's a few Iranians living here in Munich, incredibly friendly and forward thinking. Not what the media would let you believe.
Furthermore Iran is a different cookie from Saudi. If the US escalates the situation, then China and Russia will be up front defending their interests in Iran. I'm sure the US can't be ignorant of that fact."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

For the hard of comprehension, as far as we are aware the US haven’t targeted those sites, but their President has threatened to.
For the further hard of comprehension, this doesn’t mean that the Iranians are innocent either.
