So much hyperbole, so little reality.

Contrary to the "Trumps a warmonger" hysteria he has shown a lot of restraint.

Iran attacks:
Open shipping lanes & ships.
Oil refineries.
A US drone over international waters.
A US contractor.
US soldiers.
The embassy in Iraq.
And now a major direct strike at US assets and military personnel.

Thus far our only response has been very muted and small in scale. Any one of the above scenarios would have prompted all previous presidents to retaliate in a much bigger fashion. And don't even attempt to exclude Obama because he attacked both Libya & Syria with far less provocations.

Face it, to this point Trump has shown major restraint in the face of constant taunting from both Iran and the left.

Leftists are insane. They question and mock everything our president does. Disgraceful.

I hope we just get out.
No retaliation.

He's shown incredible restraint.

Trump may not be a warmonger at heart (though his rhetoric indicates otherwise many times) , but the people he surrounds himself with certainly are. Who we surround ourselves with generally indicate our true thinking however. Pompeo and Esper are hawks on Iran and have been pushing Trump towards confrontation with Iran. Trump rid himself of Bolton which is a good thing as Bolton was also a hawk on Iran. The question is will Trump continue to listen to Pompeo and Esper if they seek more military action on Iran. Hopefully, Trump will continue with his restraint. Who knows.

Targeted assassination on nominally friendly territory is neither small scale nor muted.

Please try to be serious.

He killed A TERRORIST from the TERRORIST list created by the previous two occupants of the White House. He did what they did when presented the options of opportunity.

I have not seen any "Trump's a warmonger" hysteria. What I have seen are accurate observations he is an idiot, surrounded by idiots, to have escalated the conflict without a strategic framework for how to proceed. Soleimani being killed solves nothing. Arguably, it has made matters worse.

You morons predicted he would take us to war BEFORE he ever assumed the office.

Nice backstroke tho!

Trump has consistently been the America-firster he claimed to be. Meanwhile our left has been consistently anti-American.

Democrats are traitors … every stinkin' one of 'em.

There are actually two separate things going on here, and they involve (1) Trump and his actions, and (2) his Trumpsters.

This was a pretty aggressive and dangerous move by Trump. At some point in the future we'll know whether it was bold or reckless. Right now all we do is quibble about that. Hopefully it will turn out to be bold. Also, he has not taken us to war at this moment. He doesn't want war and Iran is not suicidal. He also may turn out to be right, that this move will have been successful in avoiding war. My bet is that we won't be going to war.

His Trumpsters are another story. We're seeing, all of this board (not to mention my characteristically brilliant and delightful thread, So it looks like the armchair warriors are back.) that they're back into warrior mode, spraying out the same apocalyptic talking points they used when they were defending Bush's shitty, wasteful wars.

So it just depends on which one we're discussing.

Your number 2 is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to actual current events and Trumps actions.
A handful of posters on one obscure website means absolutely nothing. Nor does your self promoting thread.

We will not go to war with Iran.

Not declared - however, congress, in its fecklessness, changed the rules by authorizing the use of military- of course that was when they agreed with it, before they were against it after they agreed with it now they don't- imagine that

More hysterical hyperbole.

He bombed a couple cars on a road OUTSIDE of an airport. The bombs didn't even destroy the pavement under the cars they hit.

I sure hope BWK and LA Ram Fan see this. They seem to think the whole thing started with the killing of Solemani.
