Bolton and Pompeo have no loyalty towards Trump and should be fired. War with Iran ensures a dem victory in 2020. Even though I was an early and enthusiastic supporter of Trump, I won’t be voting for him if he goes this route. And there are PLENTY of people on the right who feel the same way I do. He barely sqeaked out a victory last time around and can’t afford to lose us. Those clamoring for war better not whine when a leftist socialist takes the reigns of power in 2020, it will be on you.

The story is wrong, the drone that was shot down was a:

AKA, a RQ-4N BAMS-D (Broad Area Maritime Surveillance-Demonstrator) aircraft which is the experimental precursor to the MQ-4C.

It was shot down by a Raad (Thunder) road-mobile, medium-range SAM system similar to a SA-11 Buk.

When they are taking over the seas and attacking you while building a Nuclear weapons industry and chanting death to America, passivity is suicide.

A nuke going off in Washington DC would also prematurely detonate The Presidents term.

It’s no surprise, this political situation has been building for decades and insured by Obama’s funding of the Iranian war machine. The vulnerability of our economy to Irans plot to close the straits of Hormuz was greatly amplified be Obama’s intentional destruction of out energy industry. He built the grenade and handed the pin to Iran.

A perfect murder plot by the Manchurian Candidate of or day.

However Donald Trump, defused the bomb as a side job in his first two years in office. His incredible efforts to unshackle the oil industry and the incredible industry of the American people unleashed made us oil independent in two years!

This battle is no longer about Americas energy, its about Europes. Now if iran cuts off Saudi oil, America not only is not crippled, but our oil will sell at a premium.

Bullet dodged by the wisdom of this President.

The Iranian Caliphate is a ticking bomb for 40 years. Sometimes you just have to lance a boil. Caliphates are a cancer on the backside of civilization. Not excising one like Obama did with ISIS and Iran let’s it become life threatening.

Our only hope as peace loving people is that the Iraninan psychotic islamism forces them to start the war BEFORE they develop Hydrogen bombs that can be miniaturized small enough to mount on missiles or smuggled into cities.

Lucky for us that Islam is like rabies of the soul. They can not help their rabid behavior.

The Iran war,at the time of “destroying Jeb” war long won, it is stupid to try and police Islam, the Iraq war at that point was stupid. However the Iran war is not yet won, and that stink bomb is a bit over ripe. Let’s not play policeman again, lets play to win our peace, not theirs.

Wars are not political poison, foolishly fought wars are.

Trump is no fool.
