99% of Americans had no idea who this guy was until today, and I doubt that a majority of them give a poo poo that he's dead now. I think it's safe to just say no more war.

Heard a guy at the bar tonight already doing that and exhausted all of my willpower avoiding the conversation.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Aljazeera English streams live on youtube. I suggest kicking that on for background noise regarding this fuckup. Mostly because you're not going to hear "TRUMP" every three seconds in a bullshit debate that goes nowhere.

Think of it as a parity of power. They have none. For every attack against American citizens the relatianion will be ten fold. Maybe attacking american personel was not the wise strategic choice on their part.

Who the gently caress are you nerd? Are you loving high? Iran has really good cyber warfare dudes and also connections to a lot of really bad people who likely have zero day backdoors to every major utility and medical system in the US. poo poo they quite likely have ways to get into secure government networks too. They also have control of the Straits of Hormuz, if you close that off to US ships, or go bigger and close it to all merchant shipping, the economy is gonna take a major poo poo because oil will spike hard. Starting a war with Iran is monumentally stupid, nuclear proliferation issues aside, nothing good will come of it and a whole lot of bad poo poo is gonna happen for no loving reason other than someone whispered in trump's ear that wartime presidents get re-elected.

Maybe dropping a bomb on a dude at an airport was not a wise strategic choice on Supreme Leader Drumpf's part?

E: Meshka, if you are in the military, decisions like what happened tonight get you killed. If you're not in the military, you're a chickenhawk piece of poo poo and I would love nothing better than to hand you a loving M4 and a parachute and drop you into a combat zone to see the "glory" of war up close and personal.

Outside of whatever is going to happen on the ground over there, I'd imagine that some cyber warfare stuff is going to be the biggest way they can hit back right?

Yes. And Iran has already shown they have the ability to launch fairly sophisticated cyberwarfare attacks, such as the 2012 usage of the Shamoon virus on SaudiAramco.

Would be a gigantic middle finger directly to the orange fecal smear himself though, so I can see it happening. Would also hit him in his most tender spot, the ego. Any attack on the US or US interests will be filtered through his "Does my base give a gently caress about this y/n? Because I personally don't." thought process.

The media got rock loving hard over the Iraq invasion, even the """liberal""" networks, because it meant more money for them. They're already working themselves up to half mast over this, they don't give a poo poo as long as it gets clicks and views.

It was CNBC, which is not the same as MSNBC. CNBC is where Rick Santelli gave his infamous rant about how poors were getting help in the recession and that we need a "tea party" to make sure poors don't get any more tax money from rich white people.

State propaganda arm working as intended.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/paul-manafort-said-sean-hannity-served-as-his-trump-backchannel-docs

quote:

Paul Manafort said he used Fox News host Sean Hannity to receive backchannel messages from President Donald Trump while prosecutors investigated him for financial crimes, according to newly released memos from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Among the several hundred pages of memos published by BuzzFeed News on Thursday, which contain summaries of FBI interviews with key Trump administration and campaign officials, the Fox News anchor’s alleged role as an unofficial messenger between the president and his former campaign chairman comes into sharp focus.

According to the release, Manafort did not speak to Trump or anyone closely associated with the president or his legal team besides Hannity around the time that The New York Times and other outlets reported on a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Manafort, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner and a lawyer linked to the Kremlin. Manafort described Hannity as a close friend and “certainly a backchannel” to Trump, saying that he understood Hannity was in communication with the president.

“Manafort knew Hannity was speaking to Trump because Hannity would tell Manafort to hang in there, that he had been talking to Trump, that Trump had his back, and things like that,” the memos said. “Manafort understood his conversations with Hannity to be a message from Trump.”

The memos did note that while Manafort understood he could attempt to send messages back to Trump through other close Trump confidantes, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and businessman Tom Barrack, he “never did so.”
