That would be a foolish move for Iran, but they seem to be making a lot of foolish moves. Isn’t there a saying about never throwing away the moral high ground? As though they are trying to out-stupid Netanyahu’s man in the whitehouse.

Kindof stupid to attack them the way we did, no planning, rash, cruel (school children killed) etc. Now we're all going to have to suffer through the consequences regardless of whether the Iranian regime survives or not.

I think the reasoning is that if you don't make an adventure like this painful, the US will not think twice about returning again.

[andriy_koval]

Its way more painful for rest of the world except Russia, and not US. They will make little pain on US, and make world and neighbors extremely angry on them.

[bitroughj]

Only someone entirely ignorant of history would embrace that reasoning.

Yeah, I think they concluded that measured responses before just made Trump think escalating is safe.

And like, Trump always escalates if he thinks he can.
