It appears Iran might collapse before the ink is even put to contracts by the multinational security firms that keep the Muslim elites on both sides of the Koran well cared for in their bubbles.
I think the media was SUPRISED by people like Bolton supporting the rub-out. If they knew support for Trump was coming, they would have been kept off the air.
As to policy...Trump simply doesn’t give a crap what the Neocons want, and he didn’t with Salami. He simply saw Americans under attack, and saw a need to put an end to it.
...and did.
Our wars in the Middle East are not endless. They are days or weeks t most. It is the nation building that is endless.
Ah yes. War is never because half the world’s oil supply is being fought over by Muslims and Socialists. It’s always because the Evil Corporations want it.
We know Iran is willing to launch SAMs with an itch trigger finger. They will certainly do the same with a nuke on a ballistic missile. Once this happens, at Israel’ most likely, WWIII will begin. They cannot have nukes.
Issue is Iranian expansionism. That general had no business being in Iraq in terms of Bismarckian logic.
The second issue is that when you have the deep state with Pelosi bragging that they do not need to negotiate and have all the cards in hands, we have a case of war by crazies. The same applies to Iranian hubris.
Remains to be seen, but my bet is that Iran will not negotiate and continue its own hubris, while our warhawks will fall in the trap of making it look like the negotiation party.
The attack on the Baghdad Embassy by Iranian proxies proved the catalyst for escalated tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
There, fixed it.
This article is typical of a certain strand of Trump criticism as it pretends that a bombing campaign (naval, missiles...) equates to a Bush-like ground invasion. It just doesn’t. Also, Trump is pressuring Iran but note that he always provides an off-ramp. The anti ground invasion crowd is just knocking down a strawman that clearly the President has no intention of doing. In fact, best of all would he if the Iraqis kicked us out.
Catastrophic for whom? (of course, it would be for Iran, but I don't think that is the author's belief).
Trump's ordered assassination of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani on January 3 proved the catalyst for escalated tensions between the U.S. and Iran
No. The escalation of tension was the attack on our embassy. Why do liberals always get it backward?
This reminds me of the “Cuban Missile Crises” where people start in the middle so that they can have the explanation they want. Here are the true events regarding missiles in Cuba:
1) USA deployed missiles to Turkey;
2) USSR deployed missiles to Cuba;
3) USSR withdrew missiles from Cuba;
4) USA withdrew missiles from Turkey.
People like to think that only 2) and 3) were the “Cuban Missile Crisis” while ignoring that 3) and 4) were per agreement between JFK and Khrushchev.
Another SH*THEAD loudmouth, who knows nothing. Go away!
Neat - using a propaganda blog, posing as an Investment Watch, to make Trump look bad....why not just ask Chuck or Nancy or Adam or Jerry for a quote?
I hear Chuck Todd, Rachael Maddow, Joy Behar and a host of others would also offer comments.
