Some in the media and on the left are acting as though Trump is going to lead us into an all out war with Iran over this act of aggression. I don’t believe that for one second and attribute such nonsense to TDS.
As I said before, what I do believe is that Trump will likely use an airstrike or a well placed missile to destroy the drone that Iran shot down, assuming the drone is captured or in danger of being captured and we can’t get to it first.
We’ll update you as soon as we know more…
