I agree with Donald too, although he is probably playing a deeper game than we can see. Someone once said that war is politics by a different means, and that your goal in battle should be to strike at your opponant’s “Center of mass”. While we have the world’s most fearsome military, our weakness is that often we use it too predictably. This allows a weaker power, like Iran, to manipulate us into battles we cannot win politically, because our center of mass is our domestic public opinion, often influenced by the drive by media and fickle instant polling.

I disagree with Donald.

The danger from Iran is they are on course to have a nuclear warhead deliverable by ICBMs and we (Obama) have done nothing to deter them. When you impose sanctions (Trump) countries like NK and Iran make the people suffer and continue weapons development.

Iran has threatened to destroy the US and Israel for the last 40 years. It’s time to take them seriously, not because of what happened this last few weeks but because they are a major threat to us and world peace and the risks will be higher in the future as their weapons come online..

I would NOT issue threats to these bastards without following up. That is where I do NOT agree with him. These c-suckers understand one thing and that is raw unadulterated force.

Now, the nest little speed boat dingy’s’ they send out? Blast it/them to heaven and let it/them float back down to hell.

They wanna try a go from there? Fine, let em try it and see what happens.

The next step would be to destroy their oil terminals. ALL of them.
