Iran made a very big mistake!
I would say sending a 1000 more troops into the middleeast because someone threw a tantrum is also a mistake. Predictable.
Let france fight for their pipelines and let the Sunnis fight for whatever. Leave us out, completely, no taxpayer dollars, no more military intervention until France ans SA have been annihilated by Iran.
It’s only a mistake if Iran gets military actions as repercussions. Otherwise, ‘mistake’ is just a word.
Not everything has to be military response. To many people on these boards think of the military as a simple solution for complex problems. War should be a last resort, and when implemented, should be so horrific it ends quickly. I think Trump understands this concept, perhaps the first POTUS in my lifetime. I believe he is planning to hurt Iran by further isolating it economically......which is why they are already lashing out. They made a mistake because the picked on a POTUS who really knows how to hurt them.
Iran’s very big mistake was using an obviously fake foto. Less than 30 minutes after Iran issued it, sharp-eyed netizens showed it was a cropped version of a drone shoot-down in Yemen two years ago.
I’m a President Trump supporter but I think it would rattle Iran more if he would just shut up while we line up our options.
In the Army they would say, “Iran Sh....t in their mess kit.”
If you're going to tell lies as part of a major propaganda campaign, you should do it with public Congressional hearings complete with fake witnesses about atrocities that never occurred:
Yes let more troops die for a stupid drone.
It must have caused a lot of PTSD for the serviceman in Utah.
The activities of Iran are is an attempt to influence the 2020 election. Russia and China will also be adding fuel to the fire and the Demonrats will try to make hay from it.
Perfect response! The way to deal with Iran is through “economic warfare.”
War should be a last resort, and when implemented, should be so horrific it ends quickly.

True that. When necessary, war should be intense retaliations of devastating punishment that is concluded as quickly as possible. The point being to convince an adversary that they should never provoke you again.
Case in point: I recently “invaded” and area inhabited by a small colony of wasps which provoked an immediate and intense defensive response by the insects. I will give them plenty of space in the future. :)
Kim is watching. Xi is watching. If Trump doesn’t respond to this with force he will look weak.
Iran is about the only country in the world I would fully support attacking. They are Shia. They believe the mhadi will appear when the world is in chaos.
They are working hard to build nukes. When they get enough, they intend to use them. Tel Aviv, New York, DC. Poof. They fully intend to use them.
US naval assets have been dispatched to drone debris field in international waters after Iran shoot-down, a US source says. - @AlArabiya_Eng
UPDATE: Senior leaders of the Congress receiving an another urgent briefing on Iran by US officials just minutes from now, @SpeakerPelosi confirms. - @W7VOA

Iran will go too far and kill some Americans in our Military...With my support, President Trump will then respond...
“I would say sending a 1000 more troops into the middleeast because someone threw a tantrum is also a mistake.“
And I would agree.
That being said Iran is openly admitting to destroying a very expensive US asset. That cannot go unanswered. I’d say a dozen or so missile strikes against their military ports sounds about right. Follow that with a few of their subs vanishing without a trace.
Pay particular attention to the RG barracks, especially the Officers quarters. Create a few vacancies at the O level.
We can do these things from stand-off distances without putting a single boot on the ground.
