The reason Trump did not bomb Iran after the shootdown of the Global Hawk? He needed a bigger trigger event, for both prudential and political reasons. Is this that trigger event? Good question. Whatever it is, I expect US retaliation to be on the scale of Praying Mantis.

bah.
trump doesn’t want Congress to have the great power over him that a war would give them.
he’d end up like bush: giving congress whatever it wanted in exchange for the ability to do the job.
And losing, like Bush.
That’s how our Constitution works.

looking forward to an ‘iranian’ attack on a Chinese ship LoL!

Britain had better watch their step, Iran could probably march right in to London, set up shop, and use them as slaves.

The people have no right to bear arms, and their military is pretty weak
