If President Trump goes hostile on Iran, I hope he initiates with unconventional attacks. For instance, right now Iran is having a drought, and it is heavily dependent on a large number of major dams for water and hydroelectric power. Were several of them to fail, Iran would quickly come to a halt.

The best part is it could be done with “plausible deniability”, or the evidence could point in several directions, such as at the Chinese, or a Sunni terrorist org.

That’s weird. That’s the name I always write down on my scorecard when I’m playing miniature golf. Small world.

Or maybe that was what I ordered last week with the fried rice. They were out of General Tso’s. The eggrolls were fantastic with the spicy mustard.

It’s hard to remember whether it was the restaurant or Putt-Putt. At least I think they have spicy food at Putt-Putt.

Kharg Island is Iran’s only oil export terminal.

It’s very vulnerable to attack. And would economically destroy Iran if disabled.

Just ‘sayin.

All this psychological bravado is fine. Trump is great for his proper responses but under no circumstances should that be used to start a war with 96 million people and possibly Russia.

Who threatened who recently with the "mother of all wars" bull s**t?

Trump is not saying he would start a war, but that he would retaliate with force.

I think Trump miss-stepped a bit on his response. Trump threatened total war if the Iranian government merely made another threat.

That is not realistic and the President is going to have to back pedal a bit after the next threat.

I think we need to disengage from the ME - except for Iran. Their nuclear program combined with their particularly nutty flavor of islam (the Mahdi will appear out of chaos) has to be dealt with definitively.

The suggestions regarding Kharg island and their dams are excellent. But we need to obliterate their ability to build nukes. By any means necessary.

First we must realign with Russia so we can present a homogeneous policy toward the ME and islam in general - and so we can avoid WWIII.

Kharg Island was a target in the old F-15 Strike Eagle game in the 1980’s.

That brought back an old memory.

He doesn't have to. All he has to do is place a call to BiBi.

I agree.Trump is just responding to this statement from Rouanni. “‘With us is the peace of all peace or the mother of all wars”. That does not even imply an attack on our shores. Trump responds in the abstract and that is good. This is not a pretext for war.

Iran is basically saying” if you attack us, you get the “mother of all wars”. I don’t get any threat to you,

The USA projects strength and this brings out the cockroaches. Projection is all we will need because Iran will one day implode like the Soviet Union did.

Just show them old EWO footage of the Triad.
