I'm wondering if Donnie thought a little international escalation could draw some attention away from his whole impeachment procedure...

It’s going to take a few days for the correct guys to drive to the correct spots which have their preplanned caches and instructions , so enjoy the few days in which the media are “lol, I guess Iran didn’t have anything to back up their words”

I'm so happy to live in a reality wherein the line between inflammatory rhetoric and threats have completely evaporated. Is Bolton implying that there should be further strikes? Who knows!

Can anyone list previous examples of a state assassinating a high ranking member of another state outside of wartime? I can't think of any.

Probably worth mentioning though that one of the last countries to have conducted an extensive, multi-continent campaign of assasinations... was Iran following the revolution.the panacea posted:Not with them taking responsiblity for it. Yeah. At the end of the day most overseas US officials are essentially sitting ducks who rarely follow best security practices, at best, and that's before you get into how vulnerable their families are.

Not that Soleimani compares to a former PM, he would be more like if the chief of Mossad went to Lebanon and Syrians snuffed him.

Russia did a number to the Polish government in 2010. quote:Among the victims were the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria, the former President of Poland in exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Polish Government officials, 18 members of the Polish Parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolensk_air_disaster

Other than take better care of their paramilitary leaders, that is. The most effective strategy against Americans would be to continue what they were already doing.

It seems to be a common misconception to think "they can't win, so what are they going to do?". Winning doesn't matter if you are going in to a fight with the mindset that it's a holy and rightous war against an outside opressor. Fighting for your believes is what matters.

I am of the opinion that the state of cyber security is much worse than we think worldwide. So if Iran can they will start by debilitating US infrastructure - energy, companies, whatever.

The internet is extremely resilient outside some protocols - if they gently caress with BGP, for example, they could do some damage. But they don't want to bring the internet down, cause they need a way to get to the US. I work in IT but not specifically in infosec, so I'm not currently an expert, but my view is that they'd trigger threats they already have dormant in key US places - start encryption actions, spread malware where they already have privilege escalations, etc. They might be predicting a real war and not want to lose those accesses though, so there's no telling what will happen.

Pompeo taking time out of his busy schedule bribing people in Kansas for a senate campaign to run interference for the Trump admin. He's really become the most loathsome politician in the Trump sphere.
