U.S. embassies in foreign countries are in fact American soil.

LOL.


Someone educate him.



Okay, I'll do it.




A US embassy anywhere in the world is "American soil".





The more you know.

The Iranians will bide their time and respond in kind. We’ve just knocked a hornet’s nest down to the ground, and the Iranian wasps WILL sting....hard. And people are gonna get hurt. Badly.

I hope you’ll be sounding this cocky in a year.
You sound scared. Don't worry, Trump will take care of you.

Did you forget about the killing of an American citizen? Of course you did!

So you're saying a 2 acre plot in BFE is one in the same and worth fighting for as an attack on New York City and Washington DC?

Did you forget the 3000+ that died on 9-11? According to you folks an attack is an attack, scale is irrelevant.

There can be no attack on American soil that goes unanswered. It doesn't matter if it is in "BFE" or if it is in Manhattan. If you encourage your enemies by demonstrating weakness, they'll repay you with increased aggression. We've seen that recently when Obama continually got slapped around by Putin with no real response. All it did was embolden Russia to keep pushing and the result was the invasion of Ukraine and all of the nonsense during the election.

If you show your enemies strength, they'll respect that strength even if they hate it. If you show them weakness, they'll still hate you, but on top of that they won't respect you either.

I guess I have to educate you again.

No one said scale is irrelevant, the location of the attack on American soil is irrelevant.
