    Trump supporters are incapable of thinking for themselves. They just repeat whatever lies they heard on Sean Hannity last night.

    I haven't heard Sean Hannity's voice in months. You don't know what you are talking about...

    You probably listen to Fox News and talk radio for hours a week. Whether it's Hannity or some other rightist blowhard is merely a detail.

    Wow. That's really retarded. :smile:
    I can hardly wait for you to cite another "apartheid state" which grants the minority race suffrage in its legislature.
    Well that's certainly adroitly (or at least fortuitously) phrased, given that if anyone stole that land, it wasn't the Israelis.

    This was garbage when Sandy Shanks posted it the other day it is still garbage when you post it. It is scarcely Trump's fault that rather than playing it cool and waiting for the wedge to develop between Europe and DC, the Ayatollahs decided to behave like the crazy damn theocrats they are. and do everything they could to push Europe and America into each others arms to their own detriment.

    Worth repeating if only to show what an idiot Trump is.

    If Trump wanted a better deal, then he should have tried to negotiate a new one within the framework of the existing deal. But Trump is such a demagogue and an egomaniac that he couldn't give Obama credit for anything. He just had to find a way to destroy that deal, not only to satisfy Trump's own desire for attention and glory, but to whip up the xenophobic clods in Trump's base who think Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist.

    Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal (JCPOA) with Tehran, which permanently barred Iran from making a nuclear weapon. The agreement was working, but Trump decided to punish Iran for being in compliance with the JCPOA. He ratcheted up sanctions on the Iranians.

    On June 20 Iran shot down an American $110 million RQ-4A Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System or UAV.

    This has all happened since July First.

    Iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium set under a 2015 nuclear deal.

    Then Iran breached a crucial limit on the level of uranium enrichment set out in the 2015 nuclear deal, going from 3.67% to over 4.5%.

    Britain seized an Iranian tanker bound for Syria.

    The USS Boxer brought down an Iranian drone.

    Iran seized two British tankers.

    Iran says it has arrested 17 spies who it says were working for the CIA, and sentenced some of them to death.

    In 2003, the Iraqi armed forces were a defeated organization. Its air force did not even fly. Baghdad was captured in less than 30 days. The eight-year long Iraq war with its nearly 5,000 dead Americans, 25,000 wounded Americans, and over one million dead Iraqi civilians would be a walk in the park compared to a war with Iran. She has sophisticated fighter aircraft, sophisticated ballistic missiles, effective anti-ship cruise missiles, and her proxy forces are encamped throughout the Middle East, many within the same grid square as American bases.

    Today, Trump cast doubt on reaching any possible compromise with Iran as tensions continue to escalate. "We are ready for the absolute worst, " he said.

    Trump has a really big mouth. He thinks all this is a television drama, and he is the star. What an idiot.

    What's ironic is that so many of our political leftists haven't got a clue regarding how inherently funny most of their stuff is that they post to various forum systems. It's endless free entertainment.

    You are looking only at what is happening now. That is shortsighted. There is history that goes along with today's developments, and I spelled it out for you. Deal with that history if you can.

    You talk, but you never say anything. You completely avoid the issues. That makes you a Trumpet.

    Sorry the history does not change what is the logical as opposed to the insane approach the Ayatollah actually chose.

    Which has nothing whatever to do with Iran choosing to behave in a way exactly opposite of what logic would dictate they do.

    The question of war is entirely on Iran.

    If they close Hormuz, there will be a confrontation.

    If they continue to harass western ships, there will be a confrontation.

    They are the aggressors.

    If closing a strait is an act of aggression, then I can only imagine your take on blowing up school buses full of Yemeni children.

    That’s nasty. But maybe it wouldn’t happen if Iran wasn’t using proxies to destabilize Saudi Arabia.
