this was carried out, was reckless and irresponsible and on top of that no plans on how to handle the fall out. I worry those that we consider to be allies, will not stand by us.

flow to Belarus, which distributes to Eastern Europe, and if the US even contemplates bombing oil fields in Iran, this is going to be a huge mess for Europe. We won't be getting much support from them.

Can anyone blame them? Pompeo was whining about them not being helpful

Trump has trashed them since being in office - This administration has done nothing but lie and twist reality. So its understandable that other world leaders may want more facts before supporting the US. What a change, eh?
