America’s feeble response does make more and bigger attacks a dead certainty and does bring war in the Middle East and beyond closer. Much, much closer
Iranian jets attack the United States - America responds by sending a protest
Two Iranian jets attacked an unmanned American drone in international airspace over the Persian Gulf last week. The jets failed to bring the drone down even though they fired continuously until it managed to return safely to its base. Instead of responding militarily the U.S. responded by sending a protest to the Iranian government. Even though the attack occurred a few days before the November 6 presidential election in the United States the American public didn’t find out about it until November 8, two days after the election.
