>So why all the anger from /pol/? Why are you so mad about a few bombs being dropped if there is nothing to be destroyed?
They had nukes, but bombing a regional power without the ability or will to follow on to defend a country that has set up exactly the conditions needed to be loathed and is now paying the consequences, is singularity levels of retarded.
You are mostly signalling to everyone that as you are retiring from the world your friend can do as he pleases, even reenact the holocaust, which fine, if you had the power to follow maybe it might make sense. But you can't you are not going to invade a country that has turned its huge mountain ranges into a dense network of tunnels, has a sizable military and enough soft power around it to recieve help in case of invasion, while you have alienated your own allies in NATO to try to replicate your stupid sandbox 2 electric boogaloo to defend someone that has lost most of the goodwill around the world.
This could be solved with soft power and influence but the US slowly eroded it for decades and Trump killed it, there is no influence or diplomacy possible anymore.
So by doing this, you have given full control of the escalation to Iran, they can do and undo as they please now, and the US can only watch, meaning that they can escalate with Israel and their regional enemies and have it on the US. And all of this unstability right around the Suez Canal.
I really, really thought that Trump would not be THIS level of stupid but this is the third time he has proven that he is a drooling retard and set up himself to being internationally humilliated.
