This is loving insane. e: BBC is saying its not clear who's responsible, while Al Jazeera is straight up saying it was a US airstrike. Is the US just going to deny responsibility? Count Roland fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jan 3, 2020 |

I guess we're about to find out if Iran's a paper tiger that's been bluffing their way through the intensifying skirmishing up until now. We absolutely started this fight when Trump tore up the Iran deal, and now we're escalating, so if Iran has any cards to play, we should be seeing them soon. They're still obviously by far the weaker country though, so taking the L could be the more rational course of action, even if war would also be bad for us.

I think we're also missing here that the US just killed or arrested a whole bunch of senior members of the PMU. You know, the main paramilitary forces they were working alongside in the fight against ISIS in Iraq, who have three times the personnel of the Iraqi Army. Americans in Iraq just had their lives get far, far less safe.

Trump did all of this in an attempt to distract PR away from impeachment. Do you folks think this will subtract from (distracting proxy war) or add to impeachment proceedings? (wanton aggression)
