    Sadly, such is to be expected when a country MISTAKENLY hands the reins of power over to an Unprepared Clueless IMBECILE--Like Trump (who is in way over his head).

    After he loses next year's election, that Brainless IDIOT will probably go scorched earth and use the Lame Duck Period to start WW3.:smh:

    Point taken.

    Trump can not be allowed to degrade America for another 4 years.

    Quite the opposite actually. The neoliberals and leftists have made America look pathetic. Now Trump is trying to repair the damage and "make America great again".

    I'm sure the $1.7 billion in cash Obama GAVE them bought plenty of Chinese and Russian arms.

    I guess they're unaware of why Trump is president, and very well may have another 4 years.

    Good to know. Perhaps America could ship the absolute tidal wave of people trying to get into our country to Persia. They obviously would have a better life in a Muslim theocracy than here. I suppose Latin American women would learn to love genital mutilation and burqas.

    I think it’s doubly troubling.
    He’s easily manipulated by scoundrels and he’s really a coward because he essentially only cares about himself.
    I don’t think trump has our backs as a nation, and this is the most troubling thing.

    There won't be too many Americans waving American flags over this. Americans are not in the mood for war. The only people who will love this war are the Zionists--Christian or otherwise.

    Persia was an aggressive ambitious people who wanted to rule the world. I think they haven't changed all that much.

    How hypocritical of you. World War 1 and World War 11 were started by Democrats. Its true the dumbass Bush got us into this Middle East quagmire but many republicans were against the war, and many democrats were for it.

    I wonder what Russia would do if the US did wipe the Iranians off the map.

    I don't have a problem with Trump not being predictable when it comes to stuff like this.

    Obama had his chance to help Iran change, instead he gave them pallets of cash. Now that was predictable.

    Agreed. But all dictators everywhere see war as a sovereign remedy for any domestic troubles. Examine the Argentine Generals of the 1980s, whom Trump resembles even more than Mussolini, who he actually admits to admiring

    So?

    It used to be a truism of American politics that Republicans avoided war and Democrats promoted them. Beginning in late Vietnam, however, when everyone but the Pubs wanted to get out, that situation has been turning around. There is no longer an iron document somewhere that says dems must be for wars and pubs against them. And Trump wouldn't read it anyway.

    Trump will put us into a war. He will kill thousands while spending trillions if he thinks it might get him elected again. All dictators, incipient and otherwise, do this and the Iranian mullahs are especially fond of the tactic. The problem is that Trump is too stupid to tell sabre rattling from the real thing.
