“The United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” President Trump announced Tuesday of Iran’s shootdown of a US Apache attack chopper over the Strait of Hormuz.
Central Command soon launched “proportional strikes,” which don’t sound like enough: The prez needs to show he’s serious, or Tehran will keep trying to play him for a sucker as it has every president going back to Jimmy Carter.
Consider: Trump told the press just hours before that attack, “We’re very close to having a very, very good, strong, powerful deal.”
