I will hold back the applause since the upfront cost of lives should have been discussed before any operations were launched. Based on your summary it appears that someone else ordered the strike and Trump cancelled it. If so, that is not calming but in fact alarming. The whole world is watching this and it is better the strike was cancelled, but I am still alarmed. We are in a tense situation without a Secretary of Defense and with this administration poorly staffed at senior levels. It came very close to biting the USA.
Sources say some of this was a probing event to check out defenses and both side played the game… Russian space based probes picked up the entire episode as well as the prior days drone scenario .
By the way when is it ever a problem to kill 150 or so Iranians or Syrians or anybody else for that matter……so all this humanitarian BS is just that
There is an inherent contradiction that is being exposed by the Administration infighting between Secretary of State Tucker Carlson and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Sean Hannity. The neo-cons, the Complex, Israel, and the Gulf Stated REALLY want war with Iran, but the idiot savant Trump knows in his gut his base REALLY do not.
well, for once, his gut is right.
Whatever the reason for his decision, I’m glad he did decide this way.
We could do without the bombast, though (but I guess that’s asking to much).
