"Just in the past year, Iran has repeatedly targeted U.S. citizens and interests, ranging from killing a U.S. serviceman in Afghanistan, to disrupting shipping in the Arabian Gulf, to shooting down a U.S. Navy aircraft in international airspace...
"Trump has hardly acted in haste. He canceled an attack on Iran last June because he thought the possible cost in human lives would have been disproportionate to the provocation...
"And he has prioritized financial sanctions over military force in trying to get Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

"Trump finally had enough only after Iran was caught once again plotting American deaths and attacked our embassy in Baghdad...
"For the first time, an American president has pushed back forcefully on Tehran and made it pay a clear consequence for its use of terrorism. Ultimately, that is what Democrats cannot countenance." - @ChristianWhiton foxnews.com/opinion/christ…

THREAD: Bernie Sanders is a hypocritical, wealthy, fossil-fuel guzzling millionaire.

He wants to lecture you on how to live your life, while he does the exact opposite. Image
Bernie Sanders claims he's fighting for workers, but opposes the #USMCA trade deal because it doesn't mention "climate change."

The #USMCA would provide a MAJOR boost to farmers & manufacturers while creating hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Bernie Sanders rails against the wealthy - but he's a millionaire who owns THREE houses!

Sanders once tweeted "How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need?"

How many houses does Bernie think HE needs?

Trump War Room --- Text FIGHT to 88022
@TrumpWarRoom
"Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013. And they were given $150 billion," says President Trump.

"The missiles fired last night at us & our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration."
President Obama in 2015: "Now, this is not to say that sanctions relief will provide no benefit to Iran’s military. Let’s stipulate that some of that money will flow to activities that we object to."
Secretary of State John Kerry in 2016: “I think that some of [the money] will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists.”

"After years of striding across the Middle East seemingly in command of the region, General Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran’s Quds Brigade, was finally killed by American airstrikes early Friday morning...
"History will not mourn [Soleimani,] one of the great mass murderers of our time who was responsible for scores of dead, mostly Arab and American...

"In the past decade, Soleimani turned terrorism into an effective instrument of Iran’s imperial expansion...
Soleimani's "death will be a blow to the Iranian theocracy but—contrary to what many observers are warning—could very likely temper the clerical oligarchs, who tend to retreat in face of American determination...

#Iran escalation timeline [Thread]:

For the past year Trump warns #Iran not to attack Americans in the Middle East. December 27, Iran-backed Ktaib #Hezbollah killed an American contractor.

jpost.com/Middle-East/Ir…
This in turn led to the Iran backed militia and other pro-Iran elements storming into #Baghdad’s Green Zone and beginning a violent riot outside the US Embassy, eventually damaging the embassy. This latter protest raised the specter of the Iranian Embassy siege of 1979.
In response, the #US kills #IRGC chief Soleimani, (as well as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, commander of Ktaeb Hizballah and a number of other IRGC officials). #Iran responds by firing missiles near the US Embassy in Iraq.

#Iran's Khamenei now faces a hard point of decision-making.

His base (in Iran and across the region) will call on him to retaliate.

But what retaliation against the world's strongest military power with a reckless "gambler" (to quote Soleimani!) in the White House? #Thread
My cautionary prediction: Khamenei will retaliate not against US bases but something much more limited. Will try to sell it as the #SevereRevenge he promised.

Unlike Trump, Khamenei is prudent and has survived decades at the helm. +
Khamenei has never shown reckless or even bold decision-making. His strong self-preservation instinct has always taken over. An attack on US won't be just reckless but suicidal.

There are, ofc, dangers and things might spiral EVEN out of his hand but I'd say that's unlikely.

1. Iran releases video of their shooting down the United States' RQ-4A, the $180 Million dollar unmanned drone which was patrolling the straights to keep commercial shipping lanes safe from attack.
2. The Pentagon had hours earlier shown a map indicating that the drone was shot down in international waters.
3. Notice that the Iranian video has falsely centered the white circle, not around where the drone was shot down: Screen shot from Iranian video (1., above).
