    Trump demonstrated a lot of patience after all the shipping attacks. I thought he should have struck them after the second one in the Straight.

    Don't look like there'll be any palletized money on the tarmac in the middle of the night.

    You misunderstand: what would our reaction be if the leader of a country had one of our generals deliberately killed while he was overseas? We would go to war, would we not?

    Admittedly, much of Brazil's military expenditures are for rat traps. Whenever Venezuelan troops try marching across the border, they keep getting injured reaching for the cheese.

    USSR killed Patton, one of the greatest USA generals of all time.

    Truman did nothing.

    "Protesters rallied in the streets of Baghdad to celebrate, hours after General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, was reportedly killed during a US airstrike at Baghdad's international airport, on Friday. Footage filmed in the early hours of Friday shows crowds gathering in the streets of the Iraqi capital to celebrate the attack, marching and waving Iraqi flags. According to Iraqi officials and the State television, the strike also killed the deputy head of the Iran-backed Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis."

    A general who bragged about killing US soldiers in Iraq, this is the greatest drone strikes ever.. Iran cant do nothing..

    I just checked the USS Reagan, the USS George Bush is in the Persian gulf.

    Along with 10 USS guilded missile destroyers and 4 Ohio class submarines.

    I don't think a war with Iran would last very long. There are also ME countries that are sick of Iran and their games also.

    I didn't think Trump was smart enough to even knew who he even was, much less targeted him..

    Hmm, I must have missed when Russia took responsibility for Patton's death.

    Not so sure about this. The guy was killed disembarking from a plane as soon as he touched ground. It was planned and they had targets in mind. They took out several leadership figures.

    The Iraq war (the war part) was also over pretty quickly.

    Bush and Obama both screwed the pooch. Screw Iran. Their economy sucks and they have a massive issue with people that are disgruntled with their govt. They aren't in a position to start **** they can't handle.

    Yep. Obama screwed the pooch when he backed out without pushing for a better one. They failed equally. Then Obama sent them pallets of cash, like icing on the cake.

    Never occupy Iran. Simply punish the elite upper echelon, harshly.
