Gee. the deadly attacks on US soldiers seem to be occurring in Iraq and Syria. I wonder why? I mean USA has a right to have soldiers there, because oil, and the need to occupy these bad countries. Don't they? But hey, IRaN is the next country over, it must be their fault that US soldiers are being attacked! How dare they! Let's expand the war.
This sort of edge-lord politics usually has two possible outcomes: one is total war, and the other is not, instead there is a sensible public reaction in the opposite direction. My suspicion is that the USA is already withdrawing from the Middle East (ignominiously, but more quietly, given the Afghan debacle), and that is why the hardliner hawks are yapping like that.
The purpose, for pepes, is to openly laugh at the hawks.
