So Trump orders the assassination of Soleimani, Iran retaliates with bombings last night in Iraq and then states that's it, they don't wish to further escalate.
And Trump and Republicans believe Iran. "All is well."
Imagine if this were Obama, taking at face value from Iran that any further retaliation is not in the cards. Fox News and Republicans would be laughing out loud at the naivety of Obama.
The hypocrisy of Republicans is one thing you can count on time after time.
A primary reason for the Iran nuclear deal was to at least have inspectors on the ground to verify that Iran wasn't lying. Critics of that deal can say the inspectors would be led astray or refused entrance to key sites, but what's the alternative? Well, apparently it's to just trust what the Iranians say, period.
The same goes for North Korea. Obama knew not to entertain Kim's offers for summits or negotiations, knowing Kim could not be trusted. But Trump goes right ahead and trusts Kim's word, believing that he wouldn't engage in further missile testing. What a shocker (not) to now learn Kim was lying.
Republicans talk tough but in the end countries like North Korea, Iran and even Russia love them because these "bad" countries can easily dupe the morons in the GOP. It's no wonder Putin despised Hillary.
And yet the dimbulb Trump base believes we're safer under their orange bully.
We'll see if Iran is all done. No more retaliation. I doubt it, but then we'll just have to take their word for it, right? (so says Trump and Republicans....)

Both sides think so little of themselves that they vote for someone who they think is good enough to rule over them.
