    Bolton and Pompeos animous toward Iran and desire for its destruction are well documented making them Trumps Cheney. Good for Trump in making this decision unlike W's inability to stand up to Uncle Dick.

    It was a drone.

    We can give every ship in the region the US flag, escort them, and end any threat to them.

    Trump made the right call.

    It was a two hundred million dollar aircraft.

    This was not about the damaged tankers. None of ours were attacked. Japan and Norway have to figure out what they will do to protect their ships. it is not our circus.

    President Trump made the right call in telling other nations they must protect their ships.

    How have those campaign promises worked out so far? My point was that he should have known immediately that a drone wasn't worth killing people and therefore not started the plan to begin with. But he did , pulled out and throws more sanctions at the Iranian people. Not to mention going back on an existing agreement with Iran.
    Nukes are out of the bag, we did that, now we need to get over the fact that more and more countries will develop them and be more difficult to invade or make puppets out of.

    The Global Hawk is a huge airframe packed with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance packages.
