Iran firing retaliatory missiles at US Troops in Iraq

Just hold a little up and to the right. Then a little down and to the left.
Nope that not for me, only one Bridge rectifier, plus not near enough variable resistors, or SCR's to suit me.
Not to mention no reactor/choke . One good spike and .......
There is truth in that statement.
Trying to find the strategic benefit here...
-Save face to the hardliners death to America crowd? Seems unlikely. Information online is wayyy to easy to get these days...
-Was it truly a failed attack attempt by Iran? Or some proxy? Maybe, but perhaps I have fallen prey to media misinformation re: Iranian military capabilities...but a nation on the verge of nuclear capability would have been 1 for 30, right?
-Or, was the lauch to bait the US into further escalation? US retailiates, Iran gets more sympathy on the world stage and of course dem/leftists melt creating more fear etc. And of course a retaliation would give them an excuse to escalate even further and unite the people blah blah.
The last seems the most logical. An attack that "purposely" failed to bait the US into attacking further.
But what would Iran really gain from this one-upmanship? Thats a zero sum game for them in the end...maybe they truly DGAF?
So IMO that also falls apart. I dont doubt many of the followers are willing to die for "death to the America" but are the leaders?....doubtful. Politicians are very similar everywhere...hence why your statement makes quite a lot of sense.
Didn't totally fail . They managed to blow a Ukranian jet full of civilians out of the sky . Please note that was sarcasm and an attempt to illustrate both the irony of the situation and the technological , tactical and command ineptitude of Iran . Truly angry and sad cor the innocents .

Who says it was Iran? Remember in confusion there is opportunity an confusion is easily sowed when people do not thing things true 100%. We went to war in SE/A over an out right lie. Who benefited from that, why was the S/S trust fund used to pay for that war? Blind trust is dangerous,...

Trump Tweeted right after killing Salmenallia Iran never won a war or lost a negotiation. That was the way out for the mullahs. With the strong arm gone they could save face for the people and not get wiped off the face of the earth.
They have far larger and more sophisticated missiles available than what they sent. However, a 3000# warhead can cause an unexpected result that might have started the end of their reign. The small warheads they sent were a lot less likely to cause an unexpected event.
Also, they wouldn't have forewarned Iraq as is being reported by Pakistan's Dawn News which I don't know if that is true I didn't see it on their site. It does seem like the Trump admin has been busy though because there is a lot of peace talk coming from that area of the world.

I think I can negotiate a peace deal, in which the protestors drop the .45 for 9mm and the police chief takes up mil/mil mindset.
At that point, I think we would have the "nutjob extremist" problem solved.
Send me in coach.
I'm cautiously pessimistic.
But tomorrow is a new day.
Just check the media they will let you know what they don't.

Hey! I shoot limited major and S.S.major using 40 if that wasn't so funny I'd be butthurt!?
So what’s the consensus , Trump backed down ? Or are we calling this a win. I’m confused why we would allow anyone to drop ballistic Missiles on a US base and we just walk away. Sanctions don’t hinder Iran when China and Russia will continue doing business with them.

I guess, what am I missing ? A third world country dropped ballistic missiles on a freaking US base. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, maybe let the men and woman over there open a can of wop a.. to teach a valuable lesson.
this appears to show some of the damage.

My guess is within 0-180 days there are peace talks with Iran. (after purging remaining IRGC bad guys)
The most likely scenario to me (But I don't know shit)
We wack Solemanei, Iran secretly approves. (actually tells us where and when he is coming)
Deepstate leaks letter we are leaving Iraq after non binding Iraq vote. Later we say bullshit. (It was all cover to move people out of way)
Iran retaliates to save face hits targets precisely but no one dies. Someone smokes an airliner (how this fits in and why unknown to me).
Immediately deepstate leaks they missed on purpose. Iran can't save face if its seen as phony.
US then says not true they wanted to kill us and releases precise hits on meaningless shit.
US does not retaliate (deepstate loses its shit)
Some rogue proxies launch a few mortars at Embassy the next night. Goes quiet quickly.
De- escalation seems to be working.
Dems flip out because deepstate losing.
Salty's, they tried to get us to retaliate big and failed, theory also has merit to me. Only time will tell us what is next.

And as for the post-game analysis... and the assertion that Trump backed down...
I would respectfully disagree. He got his man... took out the head of Iran's terror wing. Then his own US opposition LOST THEIR MINDS in public and defended Iran, terrorists, billions of dollars on pallets, said the line Endless War dozens of time on camera... Joe Biden, the number one idiot running for nomination... could not remember that he was on camera supporting Iraq War and saying "I'd do it again..." And yesterday claims he didn't. While video of him saying "I did" is rolling next to it... Then Iran fires bottle rockets onto an Iraq base that is clear... cleans out a Quonset hut and some cactus. And claims victory... while their own people are changing "You Lie" to their government.
This is as good as it gets. Everyone has egg on their face. Except Trump and the DoD who pulled this off beautifully.
And I will give credit to Greg Gutfeld (the best, most sarcastic mind in media) who was the first person I hear saying "We probably did Irain a favor." There are more than a few who would like to get the hardliners out of the way. Acing Sulimani was a way to tamp down on their hardliners. Did we have a 'deal?' Doubt it. But the funeral was for show. You can bet on it. I would bet that the trampelings were made up, too. Another ham-fisted attempt by the regime to stir up "Death to America" sentiment.
The best part of this has nothing to do with Iran. They will keep being assholes until their people do Mussolini on the mullahs. This got us hours of videotape of the 'real' Death To America scum. And they are all reporting to Crazy Nancy and 'Cryin Chuck...
Cheers,

US knew about Iran missiles well before attacks: report
Early warning came from intelligence sources and communications in Iraq, says report published by Washington Post.

Questions I have are about the Davey Crocketts that are said to have been given out/sold to enemies in that region. I want to know when we will get the list of names that have been selling this country out. I can tell of a few on the list just by their actions. McCain the Hilde and the cabal involved in the uranium deal.
I hope to god that Iran releases all the names of the 535 they bought to get the nuke deal!!!
So far I like the response.
The first move was super bold and put everyone on notice........
"De l'audace, encore de l'audace, et toujours de l'audace"
The response seems weak. Even last nights mortars seem ineffective. A man deprived of sight by the first blow flailing blindly, inevitably wearing himself out with weakness.
Trumps demeanor has not tanked but actually supported the economy.
If Iran wants to rumble, fuck around in the Straights of Hormuz.
If they go there they know, and Trump made no doubt about it by bringing it up before he even started his speech......anything to do with this.....
will be a smoking hole as well leadership will be hit.
Its eventually going to happen unless the Iranian nuke research sites are dismantled. The Iranians are learning this.
They are slow to learn because the likes of John Kerry have told them once Trump, and he will soon be ousted by coup, we go back to appeasement.
The ayatollahs may put out propaganda but they have also seen Liz Warren, Bernie and Pete on TV and even they see which way the winds of 2020 are blowing......
I hope this is right. I need to fill a tank of oil today and Im hoping prices are down from last Fridays highs.
As an aside this evening will mark one full week in the world with out the likes of Solimani..............I know there are probably guys on this thread with personal reasons to be happy about that, Ill be drinking a good glass of rye with my salmon and green beans fried in olive oil dinner to celebrate.

Poland to Iraq - "Where have you been all these centuries. You cant believe how happy we are to see you!"
So if I’m following along some folks believe this action will deter Iran from continuing its nuclear program. I honestly don’t buy this theory, I actually believe this will just embolden them. Iran attacked US bases with ballistic missiles and we so far have backed down, this shows weakness in the region that emboldens other state actors to act out.
But all the leaders care about is their own skins.
The regimes are good at "sending" suicide bombers they don't choose to actually be one until the immediacy of being hunted down by Delta Operators and their war dogs.
They never expected what happened last Thursday.
The nuke operation is just a matter of time violence by proxy is a tradition over there.
Wouldn't be shocked if Iran wakes to a smoking hole in the desert for which we claim "Didndunuffin", while Israel repaints and refuels their aircraft in their national colors from sanitized black.
Why would Iran warn Iraq of the missile strike if you are to believe what you typed? Trump removed the muscle of Iran. He enforced the hard line that he most likely was key in making the doctrine. Now the Mullahs have some room to negotiate and no junkyard dog. I'd agree that nukes are not going to happen because of Israel. As on In living color "Homie don't play that shit" Besides...
Just remember kiddies. Trump may not be a smoker, but he sure as hell knows how to light up a camel.

Granted...I have been out of pocket today and have not caught up on the latest but...
I still find it difficult to understand this as fact.
Much more difficult than...Iran shot down the airliner.
Unfortunately we can see he doesn’t. Iran just made us look bad and Trump backed down. So far this has been Typical Trump rhetoric where he runs his mouth with a big bark but he is truly a little poodle. I hope he proves me wrong and mans up in the name of the US.
Iran warnings Iraq has been a rumor nothing more from what I can gather.

He removed their ability to expand and project power in the region. This was after killing 25 of the militia that killed the contractor. You see it as backing down when he told them he would respond if one American is hurt or killed. None were.
Last May he convinced Russia not to sell them the Sukhoi Su-35. In November he put B52's in theatre so they know that they can lose their oil business quite rapidly. You can see anyway you wish however he removed the 2 top leaders and they lobbed some missiles after they sent word of exactly where they were going and when they would do it.
They killed one of us and we responded by killing one of them. Then they escalated launching ballistic missiles at two of are bases. Trump came out on his pedestal and backed down on National TV the next morning. Hate to say this but I think the last president would have handled business, Trump was to worried the market would continue to tank is the rumors going around in DC.
So killing just the one fella removed the ability to expand ? I would guess there are multiple people lined up ready to fill his seat, but not sure anyone truly knows.
Trump tried to pressure Russia into not selling Iran the S-300, but if my memory is correct Russia sold or was still working out the details on the sale.

Yep now we just need a pic of Trump doing the same. The difference is Obama handed Iran back their own cash. Trump allowed Iran to drop missiles on American bases then went on National TV and backed down.
I wasn’t happy with Obama but Trump made us look weak In the eyes of other Nations.

You obviously have no idea what that man was. The newly appointed Quds leader is in his 60's also. The intel it took to put that strike together means that the Iranians have major leaks throughout their forces or allies or both. Goes hand in hand with the civil unrest they have witnessed.
If Trump didn't step in they would be flying the Su-35's now.
The 17 Trillion dollars in our stock markets create the illusion of big swings because of the bot traders and the sheer amount of money moving. They swing right back once whatever started the trend is diagnosed A 400 point swing in a 3 trillion dollar market is beyond alarming and percentage-wise looks like a plane crash on a graph. That same 400 point swing in a 17trillion dollar market is reported as alarming by the talking heads however percentage-wise it is barely a tick on a graph
It's constantly reported how well Obama's stock market fared vs Trump He made a 150% increase whereas Trump has only a 50% increase. Well 150% of 10 dollars is 25 dollars vs 50% growth of 100 dollars is 150 dollars which would you rather make? The actual amounts are alot more than that but the gains in dollars for Trump are not caused by Quantitative Easing which gave the Obama years the huge stock growth without any job growth. The Trump growth is from the private sector which is why he has seen the incredible job growth that supports the market. It is also why the bottom third has seen the highest wage growth percentage-wise. Again I'd much rather have 3% more of 450k than 15% more of 40k.
Obama gave the Mullahs the Shah and the people of Iran's money you really should read more

Put down the bong sir.
Step away.
This worked out quite well. Bad guy dead. Bad guy’s country puts on show of outrage, including missiles into US base that was forewarned. Bad guy’s country looks tough. Really, bad guy’s country knows that the circle jerk is up, President Trump means it, and will kill more of us without hesitation unless we shape up.
Kinda like kids. Spank one for breaking the rules in front of the others. Others shape up.
Pretty basic.

You would have to start with the history of V/N & Ike (Eisenhower),... then listen to his Farewell address. Then read about JFK until he was smoked, then on to what Johnson did about V/N in 1965. Also pay close attention to what happened to the S/S trust fund an way it was moved into the general fund. Then trace Johnsons MIC holdings. After you have done that the truth will be very evident. What better way to keep your industry flowing than sprinkling an little hate an discontent thru back ally scum bags, who have no morals an will do anything for money. Every corporation has body's barried an your gov an it's supplyers are no different. When a Trillon bucks are on the line, whats a few life's?,... Many do that kind of math,... not just the Klintons,...
If this is to be believed Trump backed down even after soldiers where injured in the attack .

Eleven US Troops Were Injured in Jan. 8 Iran Missile Strike
The troops were medevaced this week to Germany and Kuwait to be treated for traumatic brain injury after experiencing concussion symptoms.
www.defenseone.com
What they did to themselves afterwards was far worse than what any US military drone could have done to them. Downing that airliner was the fumble of a century. Now they are hated and reviled by those who did not even give a rat's ass about them in the past...
If I were them, I'd withdraw my ass completely out of the world stage. Seriously. The failure displayed by them in the past few weeks was so epic that it makes the New York Jets' Superbowl victory record look absolutely awesome...
It was from the same playbook , Donald used to attack a parking lot and a vacant office building with 58 tomahawks after the the moderate head choppers staged chemical attack in Syria to blame on Syrian Gov. Show for domestic public in both cases.
Missiles Iranians used were guided as you see not plety of holes in middle of nowhere and warning was sent well in advance to make sure no one was hit , injured now reported are from brownpants and concusion , imagine 1000kg warheads going of make quite mess.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s a win/win for everyone.
US takes out a long time terrorist
Iran gives Iraq (and by proxy the US) warning of the missiles. They launch a retaliatory “attack” on the US.
Since no one was seriously injured or killed, Trump gets to say Iran is backing down. Iran gets to say Trump backed down.
So, for the “small” loss of some infrastructure in Iraq, we take out a terrorist (while also sending a strong message to Iran that this ain’t the past administration), and we avoid a full on war which will cost a ton of money and just end up handed back over to another asshole group just like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now its been revealed some dozen guys were exposed to "concussion".
Dems will be crowing how Trump lied, Troops were "hurt".
I get it much more is known about "concussion" these days but people need to understand "concussion" is unavoidable.
More pussification of the populace. Dumbing them down.
My first observation of concussion was in NC. At the end of a demolitions training session we had some quantity of C4 and other materials left over.
Of course it all goes in a hole for and end of day "Money Shot".
I was 300 yards or so away and watched the pressure ball coming at me in the humid NC air and distinctly, will never forget, the experience of having the air drawn from my lungs as the concussion passed through me.
Was I wounded?
This is how silly our politics are Im arguing with Dem talking points about what constitutes a wound.
Fuck don't be any where 90 degrees from an M60 tank (not that we have them anymore) when they fire. You think a .50 cal creates concussion you will know differently after that M60 fun.
