Nothing political please, but what do you think the next action is either for the US or Iran after these missle strikes?

May I assss u a ?
A reasonable move would be to make it rain hellfire.
But I suspect that there will be some posturing.
Things will get moved around to strategic points and they will probably wait for another strike.
Then, I would assume all bets are off and it will be hellfire monsoon season.
Or nothing.
I really hope they don't just sit on their hands and do nothing.
That's a wrong mentality, but this thing with the middle east is getting really old.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
For us? Learn the lesson of Vietnam. Get out. We have no interest in running these peoples lives in their own countries. Announce that we're finally satisfied that we got the real Saddam Hussein, mission accomplished, bring our troops and MONEY home where they can do some good. For us.
Look at Afghanistan, for example. We continue to make the mistake of seeing Afghanistan as "a country". It's not. It's a collection of tribes, who all hate each other. The only thing they hate more than each other, is everyone else in the world, especially those who occupy their tribal lands. If we kill every Afghani except one, he will raise his flag, announce victory, and send to Pakistan for some women to repopulate with.
Continued involvement with these maniacs is a lose-lose proposition.

We're all still losing.
We're losing the future as these monsters set the world ablaze for power, profit and entertainment.
I'm about tired of it.

No it doesn't. Any slim casus belli will do. Always has before.
Ike was still the Prez when I was born, so you've described the world I was brought up in. One thing that seemed to change, the generation coming up behind me was taught differently in school. Those of our generation were always taught to question authority, to think about what we were told by those in power.
Thus, a whole generation decided that they didn't want to die in Southeast Asia to uphold a corrupt dictatorship and enhance profit margins for American tire companies. For us, civil rights meant leveling the playing field for all members of the human race.
The following generation was taught to obey authority, and to never question those in power. And here we are. Most Americans seem to have forgotten that we're still in Afghanistan, etc., and Civil Rights means special privilege for tiny fractal groups who are unhappy about their birth gender, etc. Or millionaire privileged sports figures protesting mistreatment that they've never experienced, or seen in their lifetimes.
BTW, I'm glad you mentioned Tulsi Gabbard, or I might have never heard of her. What little I've seen, I've liked. I appreciated her abstention from voting during the shampeachment hearings in the House. She thinks! How odd.

I don't get single-issue voters. They are then forced to bow to whoever pays lipservice to their cause, but who isn't motivated to do anything about it because it keeps their allegiance.
Anyway, that's OT.
Back to war, gents (and ladies).
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
