I'm sure we'd be cool with Russia giving us a heads up


If they were to missiles at one of Iraq's air bases later today. Water under the bridge since we were given notice. FFS, I don't agree with the strike but if we're going to do it, at least avoid WW3 and alert the other major power so that we don't kill any of their personnel or damage their assets. This is basic stuff to avoid an absolute nightmare people, not some sort of conspiracy. The correct call would've been what Obama had done in '13, make your case to Congress, but if you're going to go with this route, a surprise attack with absolutely no notice on a sovereign country with another major power (Russia) backing them is not the way to go.
