Or he will rant and rave for 45 minutes, mention Hilary and Obama before sounding off at the news organisations before having a right go at Biden.

Then he will go back writing love letters to Kim Jong Un the leader of a country who stated 1000s of times they will nuke America.

Looney Tunes.

:rolleyes:

He'll probably switch back to meddling in Venezuela for a while, then back to Iran in a month or two, rinse and repeat..

Killing Iranian top general with a drone strike, does not make him stable does it? Iran preferred to limit its strike here, and they proved they are rational actors. Lets hope Trump got the message and we will avoid an all out war?

Killing the Iranian general with the blood of some 600 US servicemen on his hands makes Trump President and Commander-In-Chief, and doing his job.

Apparently Iran was hit with magnitude 4.9 earthquake near one of their nuclear plants early Wednesday. Who knew Trump was THAT powerful?

Calm down.

I am not the one making ridiculous claims without a scintilla of evidence. This thread has quite a few posts by you claiming stuff that isn't true.
Your projection is off the scale at this stage. Please take your conspiracy nonsense to the appropriate forum.

Got some images now, very high up aerial photos. Need to get closer to see what they hit, but the missiles hit buildings inside the base. It looks like aircraft hangers? There looks to be helicopters beside it?

He now has the chance to call it quits, without seeming to concede anything and no (as far as is known) US deaths.

I see other impacts, but zoomed in for this. They look like hangars, there a runaway beside and i think helicopters beside that look tiny compared to it?

Correct about Concorde, an uncontrolled engine fire has never in history caused a fuel tank to explode on a plane.

There have been a few centre fuel tank explosions that I know of, but only on frames with little fuel in them where the fumes (as opposed to the fuel) ignited.

You may be correct, but from memory there was a Boeing in around the mid 80`s that came close at Manchester Airport due to an engine fire on an aborted take-off that resulted in loss of life. Fire crews on scene along with the engine fire had to contend with a running fuel fire.
I would not like to be in the air in that scenario hoping the fuel tanks do not ignite.

Jesus it's a total and utter embarrassment for Iran.

Interesting to hear Trump’s spin on this today when he addresses the press.

My money is on him striking taking out more Iranian targets.

He has totally and utterly made a fool of Iran. Taken out their top terrorist and has had what looks like a few fireworks thrown at an empty base despite Iran saying a "dark day coming for America":rolleyes:

He must be waiting on instructions from Bibi..

He mightn't now as he's embarrassed Iran to a huge extent but it wouldn't surprise me if they have more intelligence info that they will act on.

Remember we as the public are been fed scraps

You clueless to what a precision strike is. There a lot more damage, i see in other images, but blocked from view not clear what they hit in those areas. I just see lot of scorched ruins, hard to make out. Missiles are not nukes, they don't take out the whole base.

You have to remember that his whole military knowledge comes from Rambo movies where one grenade can take down a whole building.

I reported two bases was hit. Turned out to be factual. Fox News report said bases all across Iraq were hit, i posted her tweet.

Iran has confirmed they fired two salvos of missiles, 16 missiles in total according to the Pentagon.

He sounds like he's trained in the art's of war, and he's extremely efficient and very tactical with his precision.

No doubt he's a son of a gun.

The initial strike against Gen.Suleimani's convoy really did appear to fulfill the requirements of "Precision".
From the images I've so far seen,it appears that two vehicles were targetted and destroyed with almost no demage to the surrounding area.

THAT level of precision does not come easily or cheaply in modern military terms,so I wonder what level of technical advancement the Iranian Republic actually possesses ?
