I'm not really angry, just upset this is happening.

I've seen this type of rhetoric before. First they start with false accusations that tensions between Israel and Iran are rising (all that has happened is an Iranian drone has been shot down, no threats).

They talk about retaliation (bombing Tehran as heard recently) and then Nikki helps legitimize these efforts by giving them America's backing.

There have already been casual mentions of destroying Iran's economy to start a revolution in the country, etc.

I have family there so I'm a little scared, but besides that I'm fine.

I love this country, its my home, and nothing will change that

Iran is an exceptionally large nation. It is highly unlikely that they would be in danger unless they live very close to a military installation and have nowhere else to go. But I surely empathize all the same.

As long as Iran doesn't attack Israel from Syria, they'll be ok. If they do then they're in big trouble.

Your probably right. I've had a pretty down day so I'm kind of overreacting.

I'm usually pretty positive all the same;

also I didn't mean to offend anyone with my post, I should really think before posting to quickly.

Its all good

I think that we all get that his forum is basically everyone's emotional outlet. I often take time away from it, which helps me. Not that that might be right for you. Anyway, feel better.

This makes me sick. For all the energy on the left, it is wasted pushing Trump to the right on foreign policy.

Americans of all colors love it when she covers for Saudi war crimes, lies about Iran, and promotes war at every turn.

This murder who thinks American war crimes are accidental and justified is the monster who people love the most.

Look, I love America, but wtf is happening. Why?
I don't like Nikki Haley

Why? Wars? Obama had them, and probably more.

Funny thing is that she didn’t care enough to take down that flag until the Charleston shootings. It was done to save to her political career, which would’ve been over otherwise. She knew which way the wind was blowing. She’s not stupid.
