If this story is true, true imagine the Iranians being the adult in the room.
US will respond. But how that response will be conducted is likely to be mild and in an effort to de-escalate considering his earlier twitter response; much to the disappointment of WNU Editor, im sure.
Likely no further military escalation for now. Iran put on its desert fireworks show - called it "retaliation". Obviously for domestic consumption. Intentionally missed US troops because they've been made well aware that Trump, unlike Obama , would make good on "red line" statements.
Trump again serves up a foreign policy master stroke. First the well deserved killing of QS, and now the deescalation with Iran. The ball is in Iran's court now.
The Iranian "adult" in the room
- Killed 56 people in a funeral procession.
- Murdered 67 Canadians
- Claimed 80 Americans killed in the missile attacks. That propaganda 'victory' will erode over time as people read non-Iranians media.
- Shot people who did not attend the mourning procession for General Salmonella.
- Has an 8 billion dollar payroll and was behind the rocket attacks in December that killed an American contractor and behind the burning of the embassy.
AntifaTroll and Bob Huntley claim to be Canadians.
This is Canada today.
