How the fuk did we come within minutes of war over an unmanned drone?
Who does Trump have advising him?
The President knows the meaning of peace through strength. We do not keep the peace by ignoring militant or malicious acts against us by the government of any nation. There MUST be response to illegal and malicious acts committed against us, even shooting down a drone that cost the taxpayers $130 million. To fail to act indicates weakness and encourages more of the same. And the initial response sent Iran a clear message of what to expect if they start targeting people instead of things like unmanned drones.
But President Trump wisely chose not to kill more than a hundred people as he saw this disproportionate to the offense. But he will act appropriately and won't ignore it.
