Sounds like some young people who haven’t been through this before. This is not going to lead to a war. The USA has been bombing other countries continuously for decades.
Might be the toughest opponent we’ve bombed since Iraq, which technically wasn’t a declared war either.
You’re absolutely right, this won’t likely get bad for Americans. Being so far away with a huge military insulates us from the consequences of our actions abroad.
Almost like we are the baddies
Bestween this and Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guatemala, Chile, Cuba, Indonesia, Timor, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Korea you’d almost start to think that. I wonder how many countries the real baddies have attacked. Must be way more.

Yeah, certainly. Only an utter imbecile would attempt symmetrical warfare with the U.S.
Asymmetric is the only way to go, and non-attributability would be the ideal.
There are different levels of bombing. This wasn’t the US assassinating a single general. This was a strike on strategic assets comparable to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We just did a Pearl Harbor against Iran.
…this is… war?..
you want troops on the ground?
Genuinely don’t know what reality you’re living in if you are typing this question after reading my comment.
I believe their meaning was, ‘Do you have to see boots on the ground before you call it a war?’, not accusing you personally of wanting war.
My only point with my original comment is that people are freaking out as though this is about to be Iraq War take 3. I see no evidence of that. It would require an invasion.
Oh. So this is just Tuesday. I guess you should call Iran and tell them.
yeah a lot of over reacting going on around here
Somebody should really bomb the USA for a change. I’d say new york would be a good start lmao just imagine all the dead yanks

I mean, I dont see how it isnt a war already, this kind of thing is an act of war after all, and the other side doesnt have to be capable of equal retaliation for the term to apply.

It doesn’t really matter what you call it. W. and Obama normalized not declaring war on the countries you bomb. It’s become normalized by this point

The US hasn’t declared war since 1942. It goes back way further than W or Obama.
