I hate Nick Knack Paddywhack Give a Uke a Bomb. She is a warmonger.
That said, wasn’t this pretty much what President Trump did to Soliamani/ISIS?
Good point about Trump.
Initially we were going to smack Iran hard. Trump found out at the last minute there’d likely be a lot of collateral casualties (at least that’s how I understand it), so he cancelled the strike(s?) and gave Iran another chance. Iran took that as weakness, forcing Trump’s hand, and so the decision to take out Solemani was made.
Yes we clonked ISIS, with the considerable aid on the ground of our Syrian Kurd allies. We are still there helping them to keep ISIS squashed / seeds from sprouting too vigorously.
