trump tweets "All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq."

'All is well' Trump tweets after Iran hits Iraq bases housing US troops


President Trump late Tuesday said "all is well" after Iran fired missiles at two military bases in Iraq that house U.S. troops and coalition personnel, adding that he would make a statement Wednesday morning on the attacks.

"Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!" Trump tweeted.

"We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning," he added.

Early reports indicated that there were no U.S. casualties in the missile attacks, though that could change pending the final assessment.

He'll make a "statement" tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, our troops are in harms way while you pop a few benzos and drift off to la la land. That is so reassuring. The only statement you can make that could possibly make things any better is "I hereby resign".

There would be NO casualties. 12 missiles fired at bases and 0 casualties. This is like a Russian Kabuki theater, I think. I am glad our troops are safe. Wasn't there a time Early in his presidency Trump blew up some airports with cruise missiles and all the Russian and and and Syrian troops had been evacuated? Yes. There was. This is all just a bad reality show.

While people are killed from his actions done for putin and the prince in return for election help from them. Putin wants their oil , and to be able to use it as a weapon. I suspect he did away with the nuclear agreement for this, and to escalate to this now from their plan.
