Bangkok: 11 Reasons Why Trump’s Non-Retaliation for Iran’s Missile Strike Was Perfect Response

Photo Chicago Tribune.

This is in response to Dr. Nicholas Waddy’s article, Trump Blundered By Not Retaliating on Iran Missile Strikes, May Encourage More Iranian Aggression

By Bangkok

Sorry, asshole, but your conclusions are just too aggressive for even a Democrat-hating guy like me.

Let’s look at the facts:

1) Iran’s missile strikes were NOT intended to KILL or SERIOUSLY INJURE American soldiers, as they did not target the actual barracks where Americans were sleeping. Iran’s missiles also ignored the military base which houses the most Americans in Iraq, as that military base was left alone (even though it’s located much closer to Iran’s borders than the bases they targeted).

2) Iran launched a dozen missiles and yet not ONE of them actually hit an American barracks? Yet we’re supposed to believe this was just faulty targeting or random luck? Nope. It was a CALCULATED MOVE to ensure that Trump would not be required to respond with overwhelming force and incinerate their own country. If they had killed Americans, they knew that Trump would have had no choice but to incinerate their military infrastructure.

The country in the center called Iran might not exist anymore had Iran chose to actually take American lives. It was no accident that their missile strikes killed no one.

3) Iran gave the Iraqi military a warning about the attack before it happened, which they KNEW would be leaked to American military leaders (which in fact DID happen, since Iraqi soldiers did leak this info to American leaders ahead of time). This indicates that Iran did NOT want to TRULY surprise and kill Americans, otherwise they’d have never given Iraqi soldiers a warning about the attack.

4) Iran’s missile strike was merely a FACE SAVING response which allowed them to save face a little bit without killing anybody (by avenging the death of their most sacred military leader). It was a CLEVER response because it gave Trump an excuse not to launch an all-out war against Iran, as nobody was killed. It was actually a rather intelligent response by Iran, as it shows they’re scared of Trump and not as suicidal as they like to portray.

5) If Iran TRULY wanted to SERIOUSLY INJURE or KILL Americans with that missile strike, they could have EASILY launched a second wave of missiles after early media reports mentioned that no deaths or serious injuries had taken place. Yet Iran did NOT launch any more waves of attacks. In fact, after learning that nobody died, Iran declared that they’d be ‘de-escalating’ (standing down) as long as no further strikes were launched by Trump. That’s not the behavior of a country that wanted American blood from those missile strikes.

Our dealings with the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei are peculiar. While Obama sought appeasement and to give billions of US taxpayer dollars to Iran, Trump has made them stand down. If they do not stand down, their choice is obliteration and ascending to Allah. Whose policy is preferable – Obama’s or Trump’s?

6) Iran lost their most sacred military leader of all time, yet in their own missile response, they launched a dozen missiles that didn’t cause a SINGLE fatality or SERIOUS injury. Iran lost their senior military leader but didn’t even kill a LOW-LEVEL American Army Private in response, yet they still ‘stood down’. This should tell you that they fear Trump.

7) Iran is scared of Trump since they’d never trade the life of their most sacred military leader for a few empty missile strikes that killed nobody — unless they truly feared that Trump would indeed carry out a serious attack on Iran’s home soil and endanger their regime.

8) If Iran truly didn’t fear Trump, they’d continue launching missiles until dozens of Americans were dead or seriously injured. They wouldn’t just stop and stand down, especially after Trump is ahead on the scoreboard. Trump killed their highest military commander, while Iran didn’t even kill a single Army Private who cleans the toilets.

Iran knows that you don’t mess around with Donald Trump. He hits back.

10) This is an election year and going to war over a few missiles that purposely missed any serious targets is not a wise decision. Trump can easily wait until the election is over before clobbering Iran the next time they choose to be foolish.

11) I doubt that Iran will strike again at Americans directly, seeing that Trump already killed their senior military leader and will likely raze their military infrastructure to the ground if they begin killing Americans.

Image result for iran army
Iran wisely chose not to slaughter these brave men in their Army and so made a rather toothless gesture of launching a few missiles after losing their national hero.

Trump handled it perfectly. Iran got the message. If you kill Americans or take them hostage, he will not just sit back and pay bribes like Obama and John Kerry did.

Image result for obama kerry
President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry had an appeasement strategy for the county that is led ideologically by a sect of ruthless Muslims whose greatest desire is for America’s death. They believed in turning the other cheek – and taking money from American’s paychecks to strengthen the enemy and live the coward’s life of bribing and appeasing bullies.

Have a nice day! 🙂

  • @ FACT: TRUMP INCAPABLE OF OBLITERATING IRAN UNLESS HE PLANS TO USE ‘PROHIBITED WEAPONS’: ZARIF

    Your comment: ‘If any muslim country misuses it americs will see to it.’

    Really? You look nervous, don’t you?

    Well! Here (see below):

    Note: Only a ‘coward’ (due to incapability to strike) nuclear-armed warmonger, thug, and/or bully) will definitely use this ‘prohibited weapon’ against a powerful non-nuclear-armed nation. A coward will always remain a coward. That’s absolutely fact

    Thu Jun 27, 2019 08:56 AM [Updated: Thu Jun 27, 2019 09:04 AM]

    ‘PressTV – Trump Has Said Has Threatened Iran With “Obliteration” If The Country Launches Any Attack On American Forces.’

    Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says unless it resorts to using “prohibited weapons,” the United States is not in any position to “obliterate” Iran as President Donald Trump has recently threatened.

    Facing immense pressure at home for his inability to respond in kind to Iran’s downing of an intruding US spy drone last week, Trump said in a Twitter rant on Tuesday that Tehran will be met with “obliteration” if it ever attacks “anything American.”

    Speaking to CNN on Wednesday, Zarif downplayed Trump’s remarks and said Washington was “incapable” of acting on such threats.

    “He’s certainly wrong,” Zarif said. “But that statement indicates that the United States’ intentions are certainly illegal.”

    “The United States is not in a position to obliterate Iran, they do not have the capability other than using prohibited weapons to do this,” he added.

    “I think President Trump should remember that we don’t live in the 18th century,” the top diplomat noted. “There is a United Nations charter and threat of force is illegal.”

    Last Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) downed a US Navy RQ-4A drone inside the Iranian airspace over the Persian Gulf.

    Trump said the following day that he had initially authorized airstrikes against three targets in Iran but called them off 10 minutes before launch.

    Had it been a “manned” aircraft, his response would have been different, he said then.

    This is not the first time that the Trump administration is threatening Iran with military action as a result of heightened tensions between the two sides over the past few weeks.

    Trump stepped up his anti-Iran rhetoric after pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal in May last year and immediately launching a campaign of “maximum pressure” to force Tehran into negotiations on its ballistic missile program and growing regional influence.

    In addition to several rounds of sanctions that target Iran’s economy, most notably it’s oil exports, Trump has also sent troops and military equipment to the Persian Gulf region to counter what it calls “threats” from Tehran.

    It has also blamed a series of mysterious tanker attacks in the Sea of Oman to Iran without providing any evidence.

    In its latest provocative move, the US imposed a series of bizarre sanctions that targeted Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and senior Iranian military commanders. The Trump administration is also set to introduce sanctions against Zarif in the coming days.

    Zarif on Wednesday called the latest sanctions an “additional insult by the United States against the entire Iranian nation.”

  • I wonder if the country of Bangkok launches its skin missile at the Salzman underground bunker will tensions come to a boiling point, and boil over into other areas such Uranus the fabled planet of heavenly delight.

  • The Iranian Military is a complete joke and is composed primarily of conscripts who have no will to fight the United States in air, ground, or sea combat.

    Take a look at their own stupid response. The Iranian Anti-aircraft radar operators are so poorly trained, they mistake an ascending Boeing 737 for a descending cruise missile, and then shoot the passenger plane down. And the majority of the victims were Iranian!

    It is like putting a pistol in your front crotch area and blowing your balls off when you reach for it and accidentally pull the trigger. How dumb is that?

    Of course the Iranian regime knows it could not survive a war with the U.S. The problem is the afterwards. Will another Isis or ISIL step in to take over? Well, we sure did a great job re-building Iraq. 20 years, $2 Trillion dollars, and 5000 dead Americans later, most agree that the country was safer with Saddam Hussein as a despot. How fucked up is that?

    Do we really need to re-learn that lesson?

    The only reason there were no US military deaths is because most US personnel were hunkered down in below ground bunkers.

  • The above post was written by Dennis K. Burke, a corrupt lawyer who was fined and censured by the Arizona bar for misconduct including lying to government workers.

    Burke constantly engages in various forms of misdirection as he posts using many aliases on Frank’s blog.

    Also, he’s a stark example of a fake friend who will say anything to anyone to “pretend” he believes in issues if he thinks it will help him get ahead. Example, pretending to promote Arizona-Mexico relations while actually making deals that allowed him to use his government jobs to traffic weapons for cartels.

    Last year, he lied to a group of 21 Plaintiffs in a civil suit to try to use it to draw the attention of law enforcement so he could retaliate against a former business partner. (He has a well-documented history of retaliation)

    Recently he temporarily won a ruling in a lawsuit that makes him again feel like he will never be held accountable for his misconduct.

    Dennis K. Burke is a corrupt, arrogant S.O.B.

    My business partner’s son committed suicide after hearing his parents argue in the midst of being threatened with “prosecution” in a business deal when no misconduct occurred. I was his God-parent from birth. We loved that boy with all our hearts.

    When Burke was told about the death, you know what his response was?

    “Sick,” he said. “That’s sick.”

    Dennis K. Burke is a heartless, corrupt, arrogant S.O.B. who arranged for BORTAC agents to be murdered by cartels.

    When he went to the home of the murdered BORTAC agent’s family, along with his crony Tim Nelson, he lied to the family in their family home.

    Then, he commented about the coffee. “Good coffee”, he nervously said.

    Screw you, Dennis Burke.

  • Let’s Face Facts.
    Islam is not a Religion of Peace.
    Islam is a Religion of Pieces.
    A Piece of You Here.
    A Piece of You There.
    And a Piece of You Over There.

    Until Muslims learn to fear America more that they hate America we will continue to be plagued by Islamic Violence.
    The very first war America fought after Independence was against the Muslim Barbary Pirates.
    First Barbary War
    “The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitanian War and the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two Barbary Wars, in which the United States and Sweden fought against the four North African states known collectively as the “Barbary States”
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War

    American sailors would be kidnapped, enslaved and held for ransom.
    Muslims told Thomas Jefferson that their Quran commanded them to kidnap and enslave non-Muslims.
    In the last 220 years the Muslims have learned nothing.

    While the rest of the world has advanced into the Space Age and expanded Freedom, the Muslim World, in spite of oil based wealth has continued to wallow in ignorance and iniquity.

    Look at this sorry history of Islamic terrorist attacks directed against America and its citizens and notice how the number and pace of Islamic terrorism against America has accelerated.
