The best way to retaliate against the US is Iran., Russia, Turkey, and Syria can steamroll over Israel. They've wanted to do it for decades and now the US has a weak President who can be blackmailed by Turkey and Russia. I suspect it wouldn't take more than a couple hours for those four to completely wipe Israel off the map. Not a single person or building will be standing That would honestly end the never ending wars in the Middle East. The only reason we are there is to protect Israel.

3500 more troops sent over today.
I thought you cultists were on the 'Dear leader is bring home the troops and ending the endless wars' bandwagon?
Oh wait, that was a couple months ago, you're allowed to change your mind.

Every time a liberal claims (without evidence) that Russia has something on Trump an angel gets a MAG A hat.

Well, we'll see.
1. Justice Kennedy retired abruptly to make way for Brett Kavanaugh.
2. Kennedy’s son Justin signed off on Trump’s loans at Deutsche Bank.
3. Trump’s loans were backed by Russian state-owned VTB Bank.
You do realise that there must be some shady stuff going on given Trump is willing to start a war with Iran to distract from it.
Normally he just says something really racist and that does the trick.

You do know that Trump is sending more young Americans into the Middle East to fight endless wars. Ironically enough he promised NOT to do that just weeks ago.

Can you imagine if North Korea killed a US general in the UK?
Much like the Bush regime, Trump is trying to start a terror-war which will ensure he wins a second term by putting the lives of US citizens at risk.
Fear is the ultimate campaign winning policy.
I think your analysis is wrong. I think he absolutely doesn't want war.
Now not knowing anything about this case, I woke up and was like, "Holy sh*t, Trump just assasinated the 2nd most powerful man in Iran."
Then i read about it and here are my conclusions.
I think Trump wants to do the following
1) Not be involved in foreign wars.
2) Not be viewed as a wimp. To be viewed as a badass that the world fears and respect.
3) Not have another "Benghazi" where US people were left to die as he ripped hilary for that.
The first two are conflicting. He had called off a missle strike a few months ago and the Iranians were taking advantage of the situation, killing the US contractor last week and then attacking our embassy last week which under international law is the same as attacking US soil.
So Trump responds boldly or crazily depending on how you see it.
It's kind of amazing as I was talking to a friend the other day who doesn't like Trump at all and they said, "I think the fact that he is viewed as unpredictable/crazy may help us in foreign policy as the other countries have no idea what we'll do."
If one views this as simple as, "This guy just killed an American in Iraq last week, so now we killed him in Iraq" then it seems pretty justified.
I think the rule of , "If you fu with America or Americans, you will be fu by us immediately" is a decent one to establish.
It's the same 'rule' that started WW1 ,if you were unaware.
Idiocy.
The US love a war.

For my entertainment, can you explain the conspiratorial connection between these things? ?
Here is the reason Iran will eventually make a run into the Middle East:

So you don't see anything shady here?
Supreme court justice surprisingly retiring and his son signed off on loans amounting to over $700m to Trump after he'd been cut off due to bankruptcy. 2 others in that department have since gone the same way as Epstein.
Also, who paid all Kavanaugh's debts prior to him taking his seat ($1.5m worth)?
I appreciate you're deep in the cult, but you've got to admit it's all a bit odd?

That’s cute, but what actually happens is that more young Americans are sent to the Middle East to fight endless wars that only benefit the elite. Trump won’t go, neither will his kids but average Americans will.
Remember when a man wearing mag a hat promised you he would bring the troops home?
Another broken promise, yet somehow you think the people who can see through his lies are the losers here.
If you believe Wiki, that could get messy... "...estimates of Israeli nuclear weapons range from 75 to as many as 400. ...Israel is also reported to possess a wide range of different systems, including neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons, and suitcase nukes."

Anytime to detour from the impeachment process

Yes, you're allowed to change your mind when the embassy gets attacked and the situation changes.

It would be so nice if an American President could, with rogue nations like Iran and from time to time, wreak utter destruction on their infrastructure, destroy their economic capacity, reduce to rubble their government infrastructure, all from the air, and then fly away. Like Bush's Shock-And-Awe but without the disastrous rest of that war. Good luck rebuilding you filthy animals. Enjoy great suffering for the next few decades. We'll welcome you to the nations of the world when you're ready.
With not a thought to the suffering of innocent men, women, and children who have no choice regarding the crappy governments under which they have the misfortune to live? Just bomb them all to hell and fly away.
You are seriously f***ed up.

Leaving aside the fact that Justice Kennedy was 82 and many people (obviously not you) knew he was planning to retire, isn't Trump the one who owed him a favor? Doesn't make any sense.

Yes, sometimes changing your mind about terrorists includes dancing for Saudis as soon you get into office.

Annoying to see the media spinning as if this was some Iranian gov't official we assassinated.
He was a terrorist that got $$$ from Iran. The point was for him to operate extra-governmentally.
Otoh, trump fans act like this is some massive win/show of force when we've been droning dudes since the Bush era. Unclear why this one is so trumpeted unless people want an escalation in the ME, which is an embarrassing low-information position.
