He was elected to build a border wall
Not get rid of mullahs. Getting into a stoush with Iran at this juncture in his presidency would be suicidal politically
Uh whut?
Get yourself another cup-o-joe.
There’s something that folks haven’t figured into the mix: our so-called allies in the EU.
We’ve got bigger problems than Iran.
Having the U.S. military serve as a mercenary force for Sunni royal families in the Middle East is hardly an ingredient of a "Make America Great Again" agenda.
And engaging in yet another stupid Middle East war -- while 100,000+ invaders from Latin America pour over our own borders every month -- is almost certainly going to doom his presidency. In fact, this very script could only have been written by a group of DNC operatives.
What exactly are these allies doing wrong here?
You mean other than aiding and abetting Iran, and conspiring with American citizens to unseat a duly-elected American president?
"Aiding and abetting Iran" is hardly a problem here. The U.S. imposing sanctions on Iran doesn't obligate any other country to abide by them, does it? I mean -- does the U.S. shut down the border with Canada just because they've engaged in commerce with Cuba for decades?
I would bet that some of these border jumpers are Iranian operatives. If the Mullahs get bolder and we have to smack them in a surgical strike the border would have to be shut down for securities sake. Just a thought. If the Rats continue to resist border security they will lose bigly.
Valid point.
What we have to do is work with our allies (particularly with the Israelis and Saudis) to empower the Iranian people.
The toppling of the Mullahs has to come from within or we just end up with another Shah.

The members of the EU (particularly the leaders of the EU, Germany and its lackey, France) aren’t our allies except in name only.
It’s like a ‘70’s rerun, only this time there is a new sheriff in town.
If we disrupted Iran it could possibly become a terrorist state. Oh wait!
“remember both the Deep State and Iran would want conflict. It will hurt Trump in the election which neither wants.”
This has John Kerry’s name all over it.
Not since the Kuwaiti incubator hoax, where lies were put forward that scores of babies from incubators were murdered by Iraqis, have the war plans of neocons been so obvious. It’s John Bolton & company who have placed America on this war footing with Iran. It’s shameful.
I voted for Donald Trump because I got tired of having the U.S. military serving as mercenaries for the Saudi investment partners of the Bush family.
Trump is discovering that talk is cheap and weakness is provocative. Obama was always appeasement-minded, but the Democratic media always covered for him. That same media will criticize Trump for being weak if he backs off and slam him for being reckless if he does Praying Mantis again.

Conflict with Iran would not result in a quagmire.
There would be no shooting war on the ground; nor adequate time for shock and awe.
Dont worry about it.
