A. It was a planned piece of deception from the get go. Everyone played their roles very well, especially Potus who is a seasoned actor.
B. The deception is wreaking untold havoc in Iran. Now their military will be on GQ status for weeks not knowing what to expect and that creates demoralization and discontent.
C. Trump can now negotiate with the factions in Iran who value what was done and let them convince the rest.
D. It’s totally dishonest to say Iran would have been blown off the map, the “threat” was of a limited tactical strike.
Why do these people have to spew such BS?
I prefer C. Let the Persian people give the mullahs the Ceaucescu treatment.
