Is this a big deal? Seems like it's probably not.

it has seemed like a small enough deal that i haven't bothered to find out what sort of a deal it is.

No, it is not. Taking out Soleimani was a much bigger deal.

I don't know how big of a deal it is but it seems like we shouldn't bomb other countries as much as we do.

Valid. I was more so saying it is not a big deal relative to the other bombings that we constantly do. For example, in 2019 we carried out 63 drone strikes in Somalia. What percentage of the American population do you think even knows we're carrying out strikes in Somalia? 25%?

Other than spending money, has bombing anyone really actually worked since WWII?

I think it was pretty effective in the First Gulf War

Depends what the goal is.

I mean, there is a reason you noted it as the First one.

I think I would prefer we retaliate with a drone strike like this one after we get bombed to doing nothing. Maybe there is a better response, but I'm not sure what it is.

That is way more than I suspected.  We were hammering them in 2019

You should have heard about the 3rd strike he called off.  2/3 ain't bad!

The two gulf wars had completely different objectives, even for the most skeptical.
