Educate yourself.

The US is the worlds largest Exporter in Oil now and it will benefit Texas more than it will ever benefit Russia.
Besides, Iran is now a ZERO in the oil market. Their supply has almost been cut off due to embargoes (Thanks Trump).

This will not even be a factor in the Oil Market more than a few days. There is currently a oversupply in the oil markets.

You are showing your lack of smarts on the subject. Just Trump hysteria.

These pro-Iran people have zero clue about Iran... It is a fragile government and wouldn't be hard to topple... Nobody cares about generals... Nobody...

Cowardice, weakness, and sympathy if not outright support for the enemies of the US is to be expected from your average Democratic party candidate for president. It would only be news if that weren't the case.

Yeah, i know. I suspect there are as many terrorists among our own ranks as there are among theirs. Taliban, isis, iranian national guard- today’s freedome fighters are tomorrows dictators.

Indirectly. Those Americans were killed by Iraqi Shiite insurgents aka The Mahdi Army. They were backed by Iran, much like North Vietnam was backed by the Soviets.

Yup. Our most ardent CD Trump supporters just make stuff up. Bending reality and creating an alternative fact pattern.

The results may not be so refreshing, but at least the idea that government should operate its killing machine with some transparency is less insulting than doing everything covertly then acting like we had nothing to do with it.
He came, we saw, and he died !!! Shouldn't we all be cackling like Hillary ?

Trump ... drone strike

This was imprudent, actions have consequences and Trump can't see beyond the next corner. He did this probably in response to polling numbers that are disturbing the wealthy donor base, they are calling for some bold action to gin up support. Wars can do that.

Wag the dog.

Nah. I prefer Trump. A high level terrorist has been killed. Iran really didn't think we would do that.
Will Iran attack US military assets? I dunno. But in the event they do, several responses have already been laid out for us to chose from. We can hit Iran in their country. They cannot hit the US.
You must not have been here very long.
Search for warmongering liberals and Obama.
