"Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo spoke today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Secretary Pompeo discussed President Trump’s recent decision to take decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qassem Soleimani in response to imminent threats to American lives. The Secretary made clear that the United States remains committed to de-escalation," according to spokesperson Morgan Ortagus.

HOW are you committed to de-escalation if you assassinate one of their top generals???

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think he suffered.

Shouldn't you hawks that were so incensed over the abandoning of the Kurds be thrilled about this?

Up is down, down is up. 2+2=5.

Last week the Trumby devotees were saying we need to GTFO of the Middle East now they’re beating the drums of war.

Didn’t Iran just conduct joint military exercises with Russia and China?

I wonder how that factors in to the equation. I wonder what Trumby’s boss is going to think about all this.

Geopolitics is difficult.

I think the people are are framing as hawks balked at the rashness of the pullout.

I get the sense that trump doesn't have a strategy.

What happens after we go to war?

How long will we occupy Iran?

Your opinion is grounded in emotion.

There's giant rooms full of people in DC that do nothing all day but look at every angle.

Hey Dummy, Iran and Russia's relationship has always been transactional. Russia and Israelis is another story. Russia is a non issue here.

But I can afford to have an opinion because I'm not involved in the decision making.

I also aknowalge that I could be wrong.

I hope I am.

How is this war going to work out better than the last three clusterfucks we had?

You have a president that is against it to start.

He's been clear. He is not going to use American forces for regime change. He will defend American interests though.

We shouldn't' go to war. This should be the end of it

If we must go to war, we need to stop with the nation-building nonsense and kill everyone in Iran and Iraq and be done with it

However that wouldn't be well liked and wouldn't make enough money for the MIC so we'll continue to see foreverwar
