kudos to Trump for this pre emptive strike.

Nothing "pre-emptive" about it.

I have no opinion in this, this is a geo political act rather than war on terrorism, Iran is to Trump what Iraq was to Bush. It looks more like Trump winning 2nd term, which was already secure because of dems impeachment fiasco.

Obama did the same in 2011 with OBL. Unfortunately, nobody cares about global peace.

I am sure Obama admin timed it just before elections, OBL was public enemy #1 for USA. This bloke from Iran, nobody heard of him. He is not al-Qaeda

he was on the American, Israeli, and Saudi hitlist for 2 decades now. As Commander of Quds force, he was responsible for a lot of IED attacks in Iraq against US military personnel. One wonders why US looks the other way with ISI, which has also engineered attacks with the Haqqani network against US military personnel in Afghanistan.

The issue is that Iran is not like Iraq or Afghanistan for that matter. It has a sophisticated and strong military with over 500K soldiers. The US would be foolish to engage in a ground invasion.

same goes for Iran. they dont have the means to fight the US. the biggest winner in all this is China though. Getting US sucked into another war would be on the Chinese wishlist at a time when Taiwan and HK are giving Beijing major headaches.

Op should listen to this

 

[Straight Drive]

Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria and now Iran. US will not be bothered much to face another country and defeat it of the opposition nation is not on their side. Might have one more failed country soon of this escalates to war.

This is a very courageous move.

 

Something India has to take note of when dealing with similar situations.

Chalo, laora Bush destabilized the Middle East by invading Iraq using false information and now the Orange Turd is about to start a new war! Iran is not like Iraq. Although they cannot go toe to toe with the American military machine (no one can), but they can do a lot of damage in other ways!

Trump is a blowhard. Nothing about him is courageous. He dodged the draft during the Vietnam war citing bone spurs in his foot. Except that he cannot remember which foot it was.

[Prabhdeep Singh]

I meant courageous as a leader/statesman of country.

 

Not all men can be courageous on the battlefield, you can be courageous in the strategic moves you make in a leadership role of country.

 

Sometimes you have to call their bluff in response to threats.

 

Example 26/11 in India, if evidence provided was so accurate and nothing was done with regards to the perpetrators, surely a different strategy was required.

How is he different from Clinton or Bush? Even they dodged the draft. Bush's case with Air National Guard is a classic case about how rich people avoided the war draft.

Yes they dodged the draft too, but they did not go around tooting their horn about how macho they were. Trump said McCain was weak because he got caught (a decorated war veteran who endured torture at the hands of the enemy and wouldn’t agree to be released unless all the POW were released). Trump is a conman, a fraud, and a habitual liar. Everything about him is fake, a facade. I have been following him well before his Presidential run.

Most of the politicians are scum, but he was taken it to a different level. Mind you, I am no fan of Bush and Clinton. The former is directly responsible for war crimes and destabilizing the Middle East, and the latter is a bonafide sexual predator.
