This is no longer the era of "America! Fuck Yeah!" Did General Soleimani deserve to die? It's hard to argue that he did, indeed. This was an evil man. A man responsible for countless innocent deaths. But did this action save American lives? Sadly, probably not. The thing about regimes like this is that there is always another bloodthirsty monster waiting in the wings to take over. And when dealing with wars of this nature, Dick waving is not a policy. All it does is appease a base for Trump that's already locked in. In war, strategy matters. And the lives the DOD claims this action will save don't compare to the lives that will be lost as a consequence. I pray that I'm wrong. I pray the adults left in the room have a plan. Because a conflict is about to become a full scale war.
