NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar gained, helped by better-than-expected data in the U.S. non-manufacturing sector, and oil prices retreated on Tuesday as caution kept investors alert for developments in the U.S.-Iranian stand-off in the Middle East.

You mean the candidate the two chucklehead undercover hack bitches that loved them some "Muh Russia," feign support for even though she is now the biggest victim of that very hoax?

Changing principles on a dime? Just to fit thier TDS narrative? Same shit, different day.

Pentagon: 'More than a dozen' ballistic missiles fired from Iran at two U.S. bases in Iraq

This is just more phoney war. Like the cruise missile strike against Syria after the "chemical attack".

For a while I thought killing that general was like the killing of Reinhard Heydrich. Now my tin foil hat instinkts point more towoards Ernst Röhm. Soleimani was getting to popular so Trump did Khamenei a sollid by offing him.

Live by the sword die by the sword either way.

Soleimani got what was coming to him.

Beaten at his own game.

Did the base which was hit have an anti-missile defence system and if it did why did it fail?

We might never find out. I've read the Iranians fired 22 missiles. Apparently 6 hit, so maybe some were shot down.

Reprisals in the form of conventional military attacks, seem like they'd be destined to fail given vast American military and technological superiority. Soleimani was a general in a department of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard that is best compared to the CIA, so a proportionate attack, in terms of importance of target and likelihood of succes, would be some US intelligence chief. The base attack could just be a distraction, then.

Maybe they will be satisfied with a former chief. How about giving them John Brennan?
