Once the war starts, Russia will probably invade & annex either Ukraine, Belarus, or a Baltic state.  He's been waiting for an opening like this.  Something to distract the US/Europe.

You guys r so sensationalist. "War" lmao Iran won't go to war, they can barely contain their domestic unrest as it is and their economy is in shambles. They can't do sh**t and they know it, war would be suicide for the Iran regime.

Basically the US can do whatever it wants to stop Iran from dragging the rest of the middle east into their sphere of influence and Iran can't do anything about it.

We'll see.  You may be right, but if you're wrong I hope its worth the dead Americans to you!

Trump cucked all those anti-war conservatives. Not sure how they believed he didn't want to go waving his tiny dong around the world wanting war though.

They were never anti-war.  They are Trump sycophants who were anti-war when Trump said he was.  Now that the he is no longer, neither are they.  See how it works?

We've had a lot of posters retweeting trash/unreputable tweets here, probably spreading Iranian and/or Russian misinformation campaigns.

What a shame that America has turned into the bad guy.  I wonder what the morale of the troops is right now?  Are they excited to bomb Persepolis?  Wait, don't answer that...

Lets sanction Iraq & destroy the economy of the country that we've spent hundreds of billions of dollars over almost 20 years trying to rebuild.  The ideas keep getting better and better.

If you’re excited by this, kindly f*** off.  What an awful day.  There won’t be any winners.

CNN just reported on tv that Trump will address the nation from the Oval Office tonight.  Gulp.

On CNN (TV) they are reporting that Trump may have a speech on TV tonight from the White House...

Hope he doesn't declare war on Iran...

Only Congress has the power to declare war, so he cannot do that. He can announce/launch military action, but cannot declare war.

He can say whatever he wants. And attack however he wants. He doesn't need a formal declaration.

When was the last formal declaration of war made by the U.S.? 1941, right?

Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania.  1942.

The Joint Chiefs, VP, SoS, SecDef. have all left the White House, per CNN.  I would think that if there was going to be further escalation tonight, they wouldn't all be going home.  That seems like good news.

If this doesn't convince the Senate to remove, nothing will.


Huh.  The Republican Senators are loving this.  Have you missed all the crowing over the past week?
