    Indeed, that matters of such gravity are at the whim of this clown is a stark indictment of our political system.

    Hopefully he kicks Bolton and Pompeo out of his White House before they incite catastrophe.

    Seriously, someone close to him, needs to tell him to fire Bolton and Pompeo.

    Trump knows that a war with Iran will go badly. He's hoping that we will be just beginning to win it in Nov of 2020, that's when wars have their best effects for whoever started them.

    Maybe in the public eye. We could literally wipe them off the face of the earth if we chose to.

    Do you feel proud to say something like that about a culture and people that stand since millenia?

    The loss of Persia would be a far worse desaster for humanity than loss of USA.

    I thought NYT was fake news. They should be charged with treason after that cyber attack story.

    What's wrong with you Germans? Do they give you some gas or put something in the food and water supply?

    The US does not take military advice from Germany.

    We drive our tanks around it since we defeated it.

    Maybe Persia needs a few MOABS and open season on its "navy".

    Thats as a warning. ;)

    It's just facts. It's easy to threaten the US knowing the public are a bunch of little girls.

    With public support, it would be as one sided as you could imagine.

    There are few countries that could even put up a respectable fight, and Iran isnt one of them.

    This is interesting. Perhaps it's his way of telling Iran that they should simmer down. Or maybe his gut tells him not to trust those who're trying to encourage an attack on Iran.

    Either way, I'm glad he's not as hawkish as I assumed he'd be.

    Iran and Russia, and Venezuela want oil prices to rise.

    Trump ain't having it.

    Thankfully, nobody has been killed yet. (that I know of)

    But Iran is terrorist scum and Russia is hardly better.

    Then again, who is the USA to talk?

    After facilitating the election of a BRAINLESS IMBECILE (like Trump), the USA has become a Worldwide Laughingstock.

    And, back on-topic, Trump seems like a SPINELESS WIMP.:smh:

    Not without using nukes, which might draw the Russians or Chinese in. We could easily defeat them as well, but that might very well end all known life.

    But what is all known life when compared to the honor of this strange orange freak we now have running things?

    I don't think it's the USA in general. It's the Republican Party. We must make sure they are never again able to do this..

    We must defeat Trump in 2020 and very resoundingly The Republicans must be made to understand they can never again betray our country as they have done this time.
