      Calling any prospective attack on Iran a "limited strike" is ridiculous, it would've been an act of war, resulting in death and destruction. I'm sure if a US military installation was bombed and hundreds killed, we'd all sit back and breathe a sigh of relief that it was "limited"

      "Kinetic strike" is another propaganda term used to downplay the severity of this potential action. Again, try to imagine how a "kinetic strike" on US military targets in, say, Norfolk VA would be interpreted by politicians and the wider public. As a declaration of war, obviously

          A 'kinetic strike' on Norfolk VA wouldn't be a big deal because it would only cause 'collateral damage'.

          Speaking of language, I'm getting real tired and annoyed how much Glenn Greenwald tweets in Spanish. Every time I go to visit his home page, I'm seeing a bunch of almost endless tweets in Spanish...what is he trying to prove?! This is why I won't "follow" Greenwald.

          The strike would be an act of war. That also does not mean we will do a declaration of war or should. Historically we have not declared war since WWII. And POTUS as far back Jefferson or Adams have done military actions without congressional approve. The debate still lives on.

          Jefferson in the 1st barbary war viewed that he "was Unauthorized by the constitution, without the sanction of Congress, to go out beyond the line of defence". So if you follow his precedent would the kinetic action be beyond the line of defense. If so then it is unconstitutional

          It would have resulted in the free world uniting against us economically. Maybe trump got a call there'd be a trade war. China wouldn't like it, and trump probably got a call from them on trade, and then from an oligarch that it would be "bad for business".

          So if we can ever establish the aircraft they shot down was in international airspace would that be an act of war as well? I do think the President's response was measured and prudent. Now if another drone is attacked, I think that puts the situation on another level.

          they committed an act of war when they shot down our drone. War now is preferable to war later when they are a nuclear armed foe.
