Starting that war in retribution for thousands killed is a far easier sell than doing so over two American deaths, even if one of them is Tony Stark.

Stark Industries was the US military’s not-so-secret weapon, though. The company supplied the US military with the world’s top weapons and body armor, and Tony Stark was the genius keeping them steps ahead of the game. From the brass to the rank and file soldiers appreciating their top tier equipment, they all would have been pushing for retribution. And as was stated above, invading a generic African country was an easier sell than igniting a hot war with someone like Russia or China.

This was more coherent than the last one, but I still don't buy it. It relies on Tony Stark being a dumbass and locking himself in a room with killmonger, with only the drone to protect himself. I don't think Tony would have stayed in the same room and I think he would have had about 20 contingency plans.

Tony could have turned Killmonger over to the authorities with the evidence he had. He could have turned the evidence that Jarvis had collected over to the authorities automatically if something happened to him.

At the very least, he should have sent the video of Killmonger killing everyone to the media.

The robots might have been able to defeat the Wakanda warriors since Killmonger has no idea what their strength or numbers were.

Killmonger also had some control of the drones still because he was able to re-activate them. He presumably could have de-activated them at any time. So it's pretty clear that he could engineer the battle for Wakanda to prevail ultimately.

Yes. If the robots got the upper hand, he could have surreptitiously used his remote control to power them down, and made some excuse for why they were no longer working.
