Sorry? I explained that the only way we can exit is if we do enough damage to Iranian capability that the self interest of the Egyptians, Saudis, Israelis, (and maybe the Turks) can contain Iran. I either want us in completely to occupy our government during a boogaloo – or out.

Iran leaks the attack six hours ahead of time. uses only six missiles per base.

Iran leaks the attack six hours ahead of time. uses only six missiles per base. all miss. (Iran doesn’t miss.) Releases conciliatory notice.

The other agents might. The regime probably wont.

I keep telling y’all. Talk is cheap. When it comes to big scary things, adults run the world today. Mostly because information quality is so good that historical behavior id harder to stumble into. News and Twitterati are drama queens.

This was an intentional miss. iran leaked the attack in advance. Iran and USA played it intelligently. I hope we just let it ride. There is no need to escalate. Well done all.

(a) iran gets weaker every day. saudis and israel get stronger, every day. (b) iran would be destroyed by a war with us. ( c) Trump is a very clear man: don’t kill americans, no nuclear bombs. (d) if people aren’t killed, little will happen. If so, !bad! will.

@StrifeOfRiley Just what happened. I suspect they didn’t kill the contractor on purpose. Trump said “don’t kill any americans”. they did and he responded judiciously. They sent missiles that missed on purpose. Both polities are satisfied. I suspect that very little will go on from here.
