Only worry about what you can control!
The hypothetical attack on Soleimani while visiting Baghdad that Simon pondered is remarkably close to what actually happened, whether or not the specific type of missile mentioned in the op-ed was used. The verified Twitter account of the Times’ opinion section shared the op-ed on early Thursday morning.

New York Times op-ed made eerie hypothetical about Soleimani being killed in Baghdad hours before it happened

The New York Times published an eerie opinion piece on Thursday that used a potential attack on Iranian Gen. Qassem SoleimanI as a hypothetical scenario hours before the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force was actually killed in remarkably similar fashion.

In a statement acting US Dep of Homeland Security [DHS] Secretary Chad Wolf says while there are no “specific, credible threats” against the US homeland following the strike on Soleimani, “DHS continues to monitor the situation.”. #Iran #Soleimani

Granted it has been 40 years but still you would think somebody would have pointed out that IRANIANS storming ANY of American Embassy would set off all kinds of emotions.

There has been no confirmed attack at al-Assad airbase in Iraq’s Anbar province. How about don’t trust IRGC media and telegram channels?

Muslims SUCK at War. Iranian leadership will bark like the little dog they are, burn a few U.S. Flags, and scurry back to their hole to molest some pre-teen boys.

We will probably see a couple of suicide attacks in the region, but that's gonna be the extent of it... They know Trump will push their shit in if they get frisky.

Four KC-135s have landed at Aviano AB this morning. This is interesting. Deploying to a Forward Operating Base to support ops in the ME or preparing to drag some “chicks”?

Isn't that the whle 82nd at this point?

No, just the DRB (Division Ready Brigade) - 4000 troopies or so total. There are two more brigades plus in the division. A division is BIG. 82nd Airborne Division - Wikipedia

Used to be the 82nd was staffed at 110% or more - don't know about now.

The Army has had division ready brigades for years. Their focus is on sending an entire brigade to respond to a brigade-size situation, typically combat.

Oh, I think they'll try to block Hormuz. But it won't last long. The Navy won't let them mine it; they'll be blasted into space if they try that.

I don't see them going full nuke, though; not with Israel right next door. They know their limits.

Recall the reports of the W76 low yield version being deployed on the Ohio boomers?

Iran and North Korea were both tied for being "made an example of" for a global "reset". Iran is now in the front of that pack....

I am somewhat conflicted on this. The two places that are anti-Trump and anti-Conservative are possibly the two places that retaliation is most likely to occur (initially).

Why is the ayatolla, supreme leader, who is OBVIOUSLY the \HEAD of these terrorist orgs still breathing? Hopefully trump takes his whole gene line out in the next couple days and throws a "Happy Birthday Iran" party and tells them to try for democracy so we don't have to do this again in 10 years...

Also, Iran does not 'own' the strait of hormuz, and neither can it close it. It has fast boats that can swarm/ out number any one or maybe 5 boats near their coasts (unarmed boats anyways..) but if big mine-laying ships head out... and we know which ships they have, which cargo, and the names of their sailors.... they'll be sunk in port. and all ability to protect them (the air forces, bases, runways, palaces, and powdered princes) will all be pink mist & rip rap.

When I'm president, boots on the ground of foreign nations will be never. If you threaten us in your dreams we'll nuke your gene line 4 rows up. Have a nice galactic star dust re-mobilization, fother muckers.

Nice to see Fox News caught that Hypersonic Missle gaffe of the NYT. Simon does seem to have "plausible deniability" in the wording but isn't the timing just incredible?

Perhaps the Trump Admin reads the NYT (I'm sure they do) and took a hint?

"Hey guys - here's what we can do to get Iran's attention."

Sounds like a reason to Impeach. "A broken Trump foreign policy killing non-declared combatants and a policy decided by non-governmental Newspaper Headlines."

Soon to be discussed by the House Foreign Relations Committee, privately, and without representation of the minority opinion. And voted on in the affirmative by party lines by the Full House Chamber.

And Nancy can add it to her list of "Not sending over to the Senate."
