Iran is a country with 83 million people. This is not Iraq which is half that size.

[Zoonart]

1. This is a nightmare.

[C_U_L8R]

2. This is no Benghazi

It's much much worse and Trump is fucking up.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

3. THIS IS MADNESS.

and trumpie MUST be stopped, even if it requires intervention from the CofS. This cannot be permitted to go any further.

And you all thought Viet Nam was cluster-fuck. You aint seen nothing yet.

We MUST bring sanity back to the table. Enough of this stupid, macho, chest-beating, sabre-rattling and flurry of meaningless verbiage from an arrogant fool who has NO understanding of what he is doing and where this is leading.

[TwilightZone]

4. Agreed.

I can't think of anyone in public service less qualified or prepared to handle a real crisis than Trump.

[bdamomma]

5. He fucked

our troops in Syria, why would he stop now??

Are people going to look for leadership from Putin????? He is fucking spreading his tentacles,


Changing the narrative again from impeachment to war???????????? we need to get this fucking POS out.

[TomSlick]

6. Starting a war with Iran can be the only purpose for this assassination.

[LiberalArkie]

8. I think it is the chance that the Russians have wanted for a long time to take out Israel.

[roamer65]

10. Israel will use nukes.

[LiberalArkie]

11. And so does Russia is I am not mistaken

[dflprincess]

9. The real purpose is to protect Trump

Any minute now the Republicans will start whining that there can be no more talk of continuing the impeachment process.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. But it's also an excuse for Pelosi not to send the articles of impeachment

to the Senate. Let it hang over his and Moscow Mitch's heads for awhile longer. I want the trial to still be in progress when His Lardship gives the SOTU speech.

[dflprincess]

27. Moscow Mitch will use it as a reason to delay the trial

even if Pelosi sends the articles over.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. But His Lardship will hate that. He wants it to be over.

He wants to brag about his "acquittal" at the SOTU. I want to see him decompensate on national television.

[dflprincess]

29. Good points

and I would so enjoy a public meltdown.

How do you think he'll handle having Nancy sitting right behind him through the speech? I may have to count how often he looks over his shoulder.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. I hope she once again gives him The Clap, as it were.

[EndlessWire]

31. Hell yeah!

If we get past this current crisis, I want to see the SOTU given by this impeached pResident.

[world wide wally]

7. We be fucked

[kimbutgar]

12. He'll do anything to take impeachment and his misdeeds off of the news

And unfortunately our news media will be culpable in spreading the distraction.

This whole thing is such an obvious provocation on mf45’s part.

A real media would call him out.

[mgardener]

13. Yep

Jared is doing such a great job brokering a peace in the Middle East.

What a disaster Trump is for the US and the world.

[C Moon]

14. I knew this was going to happen. Trump needed his war to save his robbing of the WH.

And it is not going to be pretty.

[KPN]

15. Too late. Just watch Fox News right now.

The GOP and Faux News are lock step spinning the story. Two R war hawk congressmen pissing about naive Democrats and how tough acts will bring Iran into line right now.

Somebody please answer my prayers.

[DesertRat]

16. My thoughts are with the innocent Iraqis and Iranians

And all of our men and women in uniform in the region. God help them...

[LudwigPastorius]

17. Andrew Exum, the U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for Middle East policy 2015-16...

wrote this in The Atlantic.

"This doesn’t mean war, it will not lead to war, and it doesn’t risk war. None of that. It is war."

This guy was a high-ranking, beloved official of Iran's military. There's no way in hell Iran just sits on its hands after this.

[Skittles]

18. there has been war ever since Bush INC lied their way into it

and *NO ONE* was ever held ACCOUNTABLE

[orangecrush]

20. Truth.

[GoCubsGo]

19. "World War 3" is trending on Twitter.

That stupid son of a bitch is going to get us all killed.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

25. Why should we all get killed

Why can't trump and the republicans who started this shit die first.?

[certainot]

21. your local rw radio station has been calling for it for years, creating the pretext for it and

they will continue until americans pull their fingers out and stop ignoring it

endorsed by 87 major universities

[Hekate]

22. We are so fckd

[rockfordfile]

23. A impeached President desperately get Americans killed in attempt to divert

Americans are tired of this gop middle east shit. A corrupt trump.

[burrowowl]

24. Looks like he didn't notify Congress either
