Now Iran is saying they almost shot down an American p8 Poseidon with 35 crewmembers on board to send a message but decided not to. https://americanmilitarynews.com/201...message-to-us/
I surely dont think they would have been prepared for Trumps response to that if they would have followed through. It's a hell of a difference between shooting down an unmanned drone and shooting down a several hundred million dollar aircraft with 35 members of the US armed forces onboard.

1. Trump knows that if he gets us into a war with Iran ....he can probably kiss his 2020
re-election goodbye. Now I don't think he will let Iran blow up a ship with Marine on it
without retaliation. But to go to war for less (downed drone)...I think is what he is
trying to avoid.
2. I think Iran knows this and his poking him with a hot iron.
3. Don't put it past the Democrats to want nothing more than for Trump to start a war
with Iran right now.

CNN and MSNBC both spoke about him showing weakness by not going through with an attack..

I wouldn’t be surprised if John Kerry is over there talking to Iran getting them to keep provoking the US. I would say it was the right call not to strike back over a drone, but I garuantee they kill any Americans they’ll be met with a swift fist and left with nothing short of a glass factory.

Im confused how Trump didn't know that there were 150 potential casualties until 10 minutes before operation. Something is fishy, especially when he "knows more than the generals"
Would he not need Congress approval for a strike, I don't see where there was an imminent threat to US by them shooting down a drone? Then again I am not privy to the same information he is but it makes no sense to me.
