Reports: Iraq's al Asad airbase is under rocket attack

a reply to: Liquesence

Dear ATS Readers, Writers,

Thanks for this... well here we go.... hoping that there are no deaths of US military people, if so, the tit for tat response is going to be massive.

24 hours from now the US strike back will be in the news I reckon... argghhh.

Iran was the last of 7 nations that the deep state wanted regime change in. It was right after 9-11 that list came out.

So, looks like it might be a go for trying to get rid of Irans regime. Get a s**t fight going, and hope the people rise up and over throw the current regime.

This strategy won't work of course... the Iranians are major pissed off.

We have known this confrontation has been coming for many years. Obama was recommended to kill this general, Bush was too... they didn't...

Right now there are tons of rumours flying.... even one that says North Korea has troop movements going on...

Trump to go live soon with announcement...guessing USA response has begun... argghhh.. lot of suffering gonna be happening.

Looking for this broadcast somewhere now..

My son is stationed there. The wrath of a wounded dying god, will be bestowed upon the earth if he or his fellow soldiers are hurt....


Amen

Your son is a payed soilder of a country thats been threatening another, and that has been involved in many other fights in other countries around the world for the last 2 decades... if he dies he dies doing the job he was payed for... screaming divine vengeance if poor little jimmys hurt is pretty god damn hypocritical of you.

I guess only the enemies sons and daughters are allowed to die and only America can throw punches?

I can only hope this basically fizzles out as nothing but chest thumping by both sides quickly.

I would think that their is a high possibility that this might be a very historical moment in time.

Well, I will say that I was wrong.

I never thought there'd be this type or much escalation.

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war, as my friend Wm. Shakespeare once said.

My bet it we launch air strikes, to hit there air bases and hunt down there surface to surface missile platforms.


Also trump, may be addressing the nation tonight.

Thanks for those giving us the news and staying on topic the best we can 👍

It wasn't directed at me but i think you need to wake the f* up.

This started decades ago and wasn't helped by the last administration surrendering billions to Iran.

Bush is 10x more responsible.

Not Bush, not Bush Jr., not Clinton, not Obama.

Trump pulled out of the agreement, and authorized the missile strike.

PERIOD. No alternative facts. The blood of the fallen are now on HIS hands, on HIS watch. He needs to OWN it!
And those who voted for him have a little spillage on them also, and I understand it hurts to be wrong but it's OK.

We will hold your hand's and lift you from your defeat. Don't cry now snowflakes, we all knew Trumps incompetence would start a war eventually.

BREAKING: Iranian media reports that Iranian fighter jets have taken off from their bases - BBC

I think that may be from this 2014 story:

Islamofascists aren't known for their intellect.

I think if push comes to shove they think Russia and China is going to have their backside.

Sure hope those theories about this satellite are not true..

NK sat

Read it could be a EMP device or a nuke...it is over the US right now.

(this is a conspiracy site right?)

What an unnecessary post.

With conflicts, are dog fights in the air common anymore?

Combat air patrol.

Iran did some snip. They know we have aircraft that can hit them in response, so they send up air cover. Would it do much good? No, likely not. But they don’t particularly care about the odds. Their propaganda machine would do into overdrive if they managed to knock down one of our aircraft, regardless of how many they missed.

Reports of no US casualties as of now.

Hopefully it stays that way.

The Iran mullahs have already killed hundreds of Americans. Time to stop them now before they kill more, which they will surely do.

a reply to: ErEhWoN

Actually yes, thanks for asking.

And when they see their fellow soldiers being attacked, they want to get there and help. They took an oath and have a responsibility, one which they absolutely will fulfill. At the end of the day, for them, it does not matter who is giving the orders, they will be there to assist their brothers. So you can make this as political as you want, and call everyone war mongering psychopaths... You know what, you're right f it. I'm an awful person.

LOL. Are you at least able to acknowledge the fact that you perfectly described Iran as well?

There's a big difference between shooting someone with a drone (what carewemust suggested) and what was done in Iraq.
Surely you're able to see that difference.

a reply to: elDooberino

Can you point to where he advocated shooting someone with a drone? Maybe you misread what he wrote.

Seriously? I am blown away that fans of Trump really thought there would not be harsh retaliation. It was obvious - I literally laughed out loud when I read the Trump administration say they attacked to stop a war, not start one. With Iran - who would clearly take this VERY seriously and retaliate. Why did you think they would not escalate? They have friends - they antagonize constantly - they are also deeply religious and take the thought of revenge very seriously. When they flew a red flag, I knew lives were going to be lost.

a reply to: BigfootNZ

That was really crappy and a crap thing to say.

And that's coming from me, the king of inappropriate things said.

You just won the prize, dood.

I thought a Klingon said that in Star Trek.

Welp... Now the US will respond, and Iran will respond, when will it end?
