The idea of Iran attacking the United States is ludicrous.
It’s already happened. Once during the Carter Administration, and once during the Reagan Administration. Once during Obama’s administration, and he ordered the crew to surrender. Now with these oil tankers. The only time they got a hard response was from Reagan.
It’s ludicrous to the United States for Iran to attack it. It is not, however, ludicrous to Iran. They believe Allah will guide their hand, and they believe that politically, this is the way to stop all the protests against their rule. They also believe, not unreasonably, that the United States is being led by weak, indecisive old coot, whose heir apparent is a cackling woman without the sense G-d gave a cucumber. And to them she already has three strikes against her for being a woman.
