The article is everything you would expect it to be, a well sourced and well written account of the remarkable events of the recent incidents in Iran and Iraq. All colored, of course, in a manner intended to make Trump out to be a pretty, war-mongering fool. Except it doesn't.

If you can read past the usual garbage a picture emerges of the real leader we all know the President to be. Contrasted with the weakness of our "allies" in Europe. And Mike Lee.

A good read.

Does Iran think they can challenge us? We have a fleet of boomers swimming the oceans. F**k with us and we will F**k with you. Actually our B-52s could wipe you out, Iran. I mean no harm to the Iranian people. They are prisoners. I hope that some day we can liberate them.

> and the secret planning in the months preceding it

Last week they said it was a random assassination ordered by a madman without any forethought or time for preparation.

One might think the NYT’s would know that Iran has been at war with America since the 1980’s. Guess all that Trump hate they carry gets in the way of intelligent thought!

Every Trump story by this media is exaggerated to the worst-case scenario.

If someone handed Trump a baby, and he held it for 10 seconds, someone would say that at one point his hand was so close to the neck,
it looked like he would strangle the baby.

Headline: Trump Strangles Baby.

My initial reaction on reading the article was exactly as yours:

Except it doesn't

Which clearly applies to the headline:

How Trump Pushed U.S. and Iran to the Brink of War

People have already forgotten that the Embassy was attacked by Iranians FIRST.

Excellent article and good, interesting read.

That said, and given that it was written by the New York Times, there is no way of knowing what parts of the article are true and what parts are an attempt to shape public opinion.

Long story, short, though, the article presents the President in a very positive light for his supporters and those who aren't blinded by their hatred of him.

Those who hate the President might still find a few nuggets that support their views.

If "Seven Days in January: How Trump Pushed U.S. and Iran to the Brink of War" were true

Then the Iranians backed down

which is a good thing.

Trump WINS again.

“How Trump Pushed U.S. and Iran to the Brink of War”

Yea, the Mullahs did no pushing at all, at any time or any place in the past or recently; they’ve always been the nicest folks ever. /sarc

.

Need one of those old style Twilight Zone episodes, where these Neo-Commies wake up in a Soviet gulag (that leftist institution in the old commie USSR) and find that every stupid thing they previously mouthed is blared at them in the 24/7 ‘Corrections’ to the inmates - With a scene where the first one who opens his mouth to DEMAND ‘proper respect’ has his head kicked/crushed by a gulag guard - as an example of “what foolishness earns the Criminal Inmates” ...

The dream being ended, the same Neo-Commies now see the same thing being instituted in their own jobs by other leftists and *FADE TO BLACK* as they still delusionally assume ‘It will be done right this time’ ... (The usual defense of all American communists who are confronted by the real history of their political agenda).

.

Reality will be : These leftist fools/betrayers ‘Reaping the Whirlwind’ when other Americans turn their backs on them and lock them out when the vermin the leftists have bred come to eat them.

Those morons who work for the Propaganda Machine are clueless.

They lack the wit to understand that theirs is a mediocre intelligence, at best, despite all the credentials they have struggled to acquire in order to make it otherwise--and that President Donald Trump towers over them intellectually and morally.

Pushing implies the President moved something to the brink of war. This is classic liberal projection. In this case taking out a terrorist pig means that it was the President who therefore brought the US to the brink of war. It matters not that Iran’s mullahs had this animal doing his blood letting for years. Everytime he helped plan the killing of American soldiers it didn’t bring the mullah regime to the brink of war by their own acts?

Whether or not the story actually supports the assertion is irrelevant at this point. As a source of information the Slimes is irrelevant.
