[question everything]

1. I remember when the embassy was built - a massive structure

that cost millions (billions?). The message was: we are here to stay.

[AtheistCrusader]

44. The embassy was 750 million.

I assume most of that is now concrete.

[question everything]

55. And now, as I am thinking about it, perhaps late to realize

this structure was built for the specific purpose of keeping a close eye on Iran.

[bullwinkle428]

2. Here comes Chump's "NOW WATCH THIS DRIVE!" moment!

[2naSalit]

3. The dog is being wagged...nt

[dewsgirl]

4. Unfortunately, I don't see how. It looks like Qasom Soleimani

was more important than their leader and he did this without congressional approval.😳

[babylonsister]

6. I've seen the word 'assassination' bandied about, too. nt

[dewsgirl]

7. Yes, Trump assasnated them.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

5. trumpie will not be happy until there is full-bloody armed conflict in the streets

in the ME. He is TOO STUPID to understand the ramifications of his shit-for-brains foreign policy. And Putin is all too happy to contribute to this cluster-fuck.

[dewsgirl]

8. He doesn't care, if he was thinking it would help him,

I guarantee it won't, It will make things so much worse.

[Poiuyt]

11. He wants to divert attention from the impeachment trial

This is something that will make him look "presidential."

[aggiesal]

18. He's Presidenting. n/t

[bdamomma]

21. just add

another nail to his coffin, and of course he always cares about his own ass, not the American people.

always looking to kill more people, this is putting so many people in danger. No such thing as talking with the tRump regime.

[Traildogbob]

48. A nail in his coffin.......

The coffins and nails will be for American soldiers sent there to die for his politics, power, and greed. No trump has ever served and never will. Eric loves others going there to open up a can of whoop ass. Other's children will die while the ass whoopin is being applied. Trumps only shoot sleeping endangered animals, that is how THEY whoop ass. Enjoy yourselves tRumpers, the draft list is still active and mandated. Getcha guns and ammo boys, ya gonna get to shoot all ya want. But.........they shoot back bro. As a veteran, when ya get shot, injured and return the guh...ment don't give a shit about you. MAGA!

[Volaris]

42. Bullshit. Iraq has been 'stable' (by our definition, anyway) for a decade under

2 previous presidents. If Trump fucked up an cost us control of our own billion dollar embassy, and did it by assassinating some Random who was thought to be a leader, even the generals are going to have something to say about that...because even they fucking well knew better.

He will NOT be allowed to start a war with Iran, even by proxy. Point blank PERIOD.

Our military leadership is dedicated, but not suicidal.

[Lonestarblue]

46. If the generals knew better, why did they not stop Trump?

Trump is too stupid to even know that Soleimani existed. If the military did not want to start another war to keep the military industrial complex going strong, they didn’t even need to tell Trump about the possibility of assassinating a key leader of another country. The top military leadership obviously supports Trump because he’ll give them a green light to do anything they want so long as they tell him it will help his re-election. I wonder if they’ll draw the line at the use of nuclear weapons since Trump has long wanted to use those just to entertain himself with the idea that he is a big man unafraid of any consequences.

[atreides1]

51. Commander in Chief

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

[Maggiemayhem]

54. His aides. This was plotted with his aides.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Assassination is a war crime.

But we already know these Trump crooks will do anything... no matter how stupid.

[dewsgirl]

10. He also did it without, Congressional approval.

[rickyhall]

17. Let's see, how many Repug War Criminals?

W, Chaney, Rumsfeld, Rice, some might say Nixon, Raygun, HW Bush & Dump

[CaptYossarian]

45. Since a real general was president, all but Ford. He was too busy pardoning

Nixon, doling out Swine Flu vaccines, and wearing buttons saying "Whip Inflation Now" to start a conflict.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. I guess tonight starts Trump's Benghazi.

[dewsgirl]

14. This is so very much worse.

[Mr.Bill]

15. No problem for the Trumpanzees.

They will just point to the violence at the embassy a few days ago and say "they started it" which is all their third-grade schoolyard mentality will require for justification.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. But Trump is not doing anything to protect the embassy workers first, or allowing them to leave.

[Mr.Bill]

19. He doesn't even care about them. n/t

[Still In Wisconsin]

34. Embassy workers? Who cares?!? They're government employees so eff them.

[Kablooie]

13. Is this Trump's big move to distract from the impeachment?

It's been long believed that he would manufacture a crisis if he believed he was threatened politically at home.

[bdamomma]

23. Du'ers

have been saying this for a long time. Crap, media narrative has changed drastically.

US against Iran. That's what media is saying now. He's starting a fucking war.

[GETPLANING]

20. It worked for GW Bush

Can't not re-elect a "war president," right?

[renate]

22. Trump thinks this is his "bin Laden is dead" moment

I’m positive that by tomorrow morning he will be whining about the fact that Obama was praised and he was not.

[bullwinkle428]

26. The Al-Baghdadi killing amounted to a fart in a windstorm, so he needed to figure out

a way to up the stakes.

[Still In Wisconsin]

37. Anti-ship missiles flying into the Strait of Hormuz should do the trick. n/t

[DinahMoeHum]

30. He's been looking for that since he took office in January 2017

There was that raid in Yemen barely a week after he settled in the WH which he signed off on and ended up a fiasco, with dozens of civiians and a Navy SEAL killed.

Google the words "Ryan Owens" and "Yemen raid" to learn more.

[bdamomma]

24. now is this our

time to get in the streets, no congressional approval WTF?

[McKim]

39. Amen!!!

Yes!!!!! To the streets! My city is organizing as we speak!

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Stock futures just fell out of bed, we have a leader who tweets strategy and glows orange

I'm hoping the negativity I'm reading is overreaction, that calmer heads will prevail in the morning.

But what will we wake up to? This could spiral quickly, or it may have lit a fuse.

I doubt this is a nothingberder

[Wounded Bear]

50. Market is far from "tanking"....

dropped 3-400 earlier, now down 150-200.

Pretty small blip, actually. Not even out of the normal daily fluctuations.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. Was posted last night, trading action differs from futures

[Wellstone ruled]

27. Oh boy,Nance appears to have nailed it again.

Remember Beruitt Lebanon,fasten your seat belts. Nance would not post something without knowing a ton about what is to transpire.

[tiptonic]

28. Just in time

Funny how this will all roll out, just in time for the election. So the 'Chosen One', our Dear Leader', can be a hero and win another term.

[DanieRains]

29. How Many Will Die? None To Millions - Sadly It Is Up To Iran Now

Sorry but this was a bad dude.

Maybe before millions die something should be done.

UN?

No really, UN?

Allies?

Russia (sorry horrible joke)

Maybe bombing Saudi Arabia's refinery didn't work out the way they wanted possibly?

I hope before the human race is extinct we find a way to stop killing each other, and wait for the starvation that is already on it's way.....

Putin kills people all the time. Why should anyone be upset about one dude anyway?

Peace.

[gab13by13]

32. MBS is a bad dude too,

murdered a Wa.Po. journalist.

[Still In Wisconsin]

33. Well for starters, how about this: WE HAVE LOTS OF EMBASSY PERSONNEL WHO ARE NOW IN MORTAL DANGER.

If Dump did this (and at this hour it's still if) the backlash will be immediate. Whether this hit was justified can be debated, but at a minimum Dump should have gotten EVERYONE out of that embassy first.

[ancianita]

41. One diplomat, Wendy (?) said that Iran will respond the date and time of their choosing. So it will

likely be when we least expect it or where we least expect it. If it's Trump they get in the future, I won't mind.

[BootinUp]

31. Thanks Trump. /sarcasm

[orangecrush]

35. Here we go.

Now Trump will finish his assignment - destroy the United States for Putin.

[DanieRains]

36. We Need Diplomacy Not A Stupid Narcissist Nazi Lying Scumbag Traitor Fuhrer

I think perhaps this may not work out well....

[orangecrush]

38. The deed is done.

[Ford_Prefect]

40. Who the hell in Congress or the Senate Knew and Approved this one? Someone told him it was OK!

This is not all. According to the tweet below the marines may have captured others allegedly involved in the embassy attack:

BREAKING: US Marines have captured and arrested Asaib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais Khazali and head of the Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri in the al-Jadriyah area of Baghdad - Al Arabiya

I haven't found this on news outlets like CNN, or BBC, or AL Jezeera so far, which may mean the tweet is faked news. On the other hand it may be ahead of the standard news outlets.

[spanone]

43. This is what you get with Zero Diplomacy.

War.

[OMGWTF]

47. Wag that fking dog Traitor Tot.

[calimary]

49. When Malcolm Nance speaks, I'M certainly going to pay attention!

[Gothmog]

52. I fear that Nance is correct on this
