Well it's now been confirmed, if it was in international airspace as the U. S claims then expect a kinetic response, if it was over Iran spying then that's just tough love.

Hit their drone factory

Maybe start by republican guard patrol boats ? In a way that it’s possibly deniable? Still seems a bit much to start a war over .

What if an Iranian drone flew over DC or NY?
have no idea if this story true or not...Iran lies constantly...but where was this drone and was it in Iranian territory?

Do you ever trust your government

fazman said...

It will only be a war if Iran responds to the response.

fred said...

Trust but verify
know enough from firsthand experience not to give blanket faith in my govt

jimbrown said...

This blatent escalation makes zero sense. Rogue RG trying to start a war?

Bob Huntley said...

Shot down big deal. Now hacked and forced to land would be something.

Do you always trust your government.

fazman said...

Pretty much when numerous nations know exactly where that drone was.
Your crews, are professional enough to know its exact positions. Iranian zirdefence crews not so much.
This reeks of hard miners in Iraq looking for war not the us.

Bob Huntley said...

In a rational war, Iran and the US would meet to discuss what this issue is, what took place, how such things can be averted. A full war between both sides will not be helpful for the entire region
