even a dirty bomb could have large and long term consequences, and shooting it down above tel aviv isn't necessarily going to make it ineffective.
Or one set off by pre-positioned teams in any number of US cities…. That’s my biggest concern right now.
And re: US air strikes, I’m willing to give Trump some slack for now:
1) This shit has been ongoing for thousands of years, but the blame for where we are rests squarely on Jimmy Carter’s shoulders. If he’d been a real leader, he’d have nipped this shit in the bud. Trump’s just stepping up to finally put an end to the nonsense, and remove the threat Iran has posed for 40+ years.
2) Payback for the Embassy seizure…about fucking time.
3) We haven’t (officially) done anything yet for fuck’s sake...let’s see how this plays out.
4) Trump doesn’t strike me as a NeoCon or a MIC supporter (may be his undoing as a matter of fact).
5) If we do strike, I think Trump’s enough of an outside the box thinker to NOT also take on nation building or anything else…hit and leave, none of that bullshit we did in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Of course, the MIC and likely Israel will try their best to drag us into it anyway.
