NBC: Iran says they've launched missiles and drones at Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait.

[mobeau69]

We’re in another pointless foreign war.

⬆️ Bonespurs did that.

[gab13by13]

1. Yeah but did they launch their hypersonic missiles yet?

This sounds like an appetizer event.

[Ocelot II]

2. Krasnov expected Ali Khamenei to come to him with tears in his eyes, call him "sir,"

beg him to stop bombing Iran, and offer him some prime beachfront real estate for a new hotel and resort.

Oops.

[Amaryllis]

3. Link?

4. Here comes US air strikes part 2

Its all going to shit now.

[fujiyamasan]

5. Suicidal, but bound to happen

The ayatollah has already been naming his successors. Their back has been up against the wall since this started. Israel is still aggressively attacking Tehran.

When Trump first came to office in 2017, a friend in Europe nick named Trump ‘nukey’… it might be accurate after all.

6. Nice job, TACO. You really fucked it up. Now there has to be a war. Are you going to try to invade Iran ....

... if so I guess there's going to be a reinstatement of the draft. GWB was smart enough to stay away from that. He created stop loss which gave our son 11 extra months fighting in Iraq because he wasn't Stateside when his 4 year enlistment was up.

These people dress like it's 1499, but they are not stupid, they are smart, tough, and capable. They're on the border of Russia (from whom Iran is going to get a lot of war aid), are we ready to take on Russia, too? What are we going to do if it takes pressure off of ISIS and they revive?

7. Don't need a draft

just redeploy those marines stationed in LA.

[Dulcinea]

18. All the Trumpketeers need to be drafted first.

They voted for this asswipe. Let them fight in his wars.

8. Trumper tantrum incoming

There is no adult supervision anymore.

[Melon]

9. I wander if we respond. iran has a history of face saving attacks

Ie. They alert everyone first, then do something to try and ensure face saving with minimal real damage.
If we don’t respond, I’d say this.

[fujiyamasan]

10. It seems that way so far

Their counter attacks on Israel haven’t had a major impact either.

Hopefully Trump doesn’t use this as an excuse to launch more strikes. Iran’s military seems like a paper tiger so far. That’s why they rely so heavily on asymmetric warfare and using proxies like Hezbollah. Much of that was already destroyed by Israel.

We are so stupid to get involved here. Irans direct threat to us was very limited before this started.

[mobeau69]

11. Bonespurs will respond. He made his big retaliation threat. No off ramps allowed by the toddler.

[Melon]

12. I think that's it. Iran is done and can tell the people

That they destroyed a US base in Qatar. 80% of their population will believe them.

There is no reason for the US to respond.
It now comes down to whether Donny believes that enough damage was done to the Uranium production facility’s.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

13. Link ?

[Ping Tung]

14. Trump smiles. Now he can escalate his war and have a cover for the coming bankruptey.

[AStern]

15. Thankfully, no nukes were involved...

since they don't have any and weren't close to having any.

[roamer65]

16. For now...

I fully expect Nutanyahoo to use them.

[AStern]

17. The world has been waiting since the mid-1990s.

Bibi has been whining about it since. Maybe people should stop listening to him.

[roamer65]

19. I fully expect him to drop an Israeli nuke.

He will fake a WMD attack in Israel to do it.

20. Missiles fired at U.S. bases in Qatar

Missiles were fired at U.S. military bases in Qatar. NBC News confirms President Trump is meeting with his national security team in the White House Situation Room. NBC News’ Courtney Kube reports from the Pentagon. MSNBC Military Analyst Retired Colonel Jack Jacobs and retired General Mark Kimmitt join Chris Jansing with reaction.

[struggle4progress]

21. Iran strikes at US military base in Qatar and Iraq

Whether Iran’s strike on US military bases goes “beyond gesture” is not known, but Iran using the same number of missiles as the US used to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities is highly symbolic, says defence editor of The Standard, Robert Fox.

[rollin74]

22. all missiles reportedly have been intercepted

none of the missiles reached the base
no injuries or damage reported

[Igel]

23. Apart from the implicit threat of sending missiles/drones

into other countries' airspaces--with the possibility of malfunction and landing not in the (still the other country's) territory that a given US base is on.

[bdamomma]

24. Our troops

are cannon fodder, get this fucking cretin OUT now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
