Thank you, Mike! I can identify with your confused feelings about our fearless champion of peace and supposed ender of a record # of wars. So, what’s the deal, he has to start another war just so he can then end it and get credit for that? Up is down. Wrong is right. This is Outer Limits kind of stuff!

————————

 I talked to my longtime Iranian-American (Persian) friend earlier this evening to get his updated thoughts. He said:

- Whereas the Iranian Mullahs seem willing to consider reducing nuclear materials, they are showing no indication so far of being willing to reduce their rocketry or their funding for terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

-Had they been serious about all 3 of these, he feels DT would seriously consider not attacking.

-But because Iran has not to this point, he feels that unless that changes soon that the huge US military presence there now means an imminent attack would almost have to happen.

-The majority of the Persian Iranians (the large majority of whom hate the Mullahs with a passion) want the US to try to kill the Ayatollah because they figure that would weaken the unity of the Mullahs enough to give many young folks enough confidence to then start a serious revolution.

-Close to 30K uprising Iranians were brutally killed by the Mullah lead govt within only a very short period. I was shocked because that was 10 times the ~3K that I had heard about. But my friend has “inside” info not available to most. He said the rate of killing within such a short period was second only to the Nazis’ killings!

-My friend like me doesn’t like DT (example: he couldn’t believe how disrespectful he was toward the 3 Supremes who voted with the libs on the tariffs issue), but that’s beside the point. That doesn’t mean he would necessarily be against him attacking. He’d much prefer the US stick to covert action and leave it to the Persians to do their own revolting. But my friend wants the horrible Mullah regime to end however it can occur. He still knows some people there, including family. He asked me to pray for the Iranian people.

-If they decide to attack, he thinks the US would have a strong advantage only if they complete their objectives within a few weeks or so. If not and it turns into an endless war, Iran would take the advantage pretty quickly because Iran is a much tougher opponent than Iraq and most Americans don’t want to spend that kind of money nor sacrifice many lives.

Thanks, Larry!
Only in Donald Trump world would a country’s leader  threaten a war and International violating  military attack  WHEN THERE IS CURRENTLY PEACE unless another country  agrees to their so called peace agreement.

Thats NOT a peacemaker, just the opposite.

Its one country being an illegal bully over another one because they have the worlds strongest military and will use it against them if  they don’t do whatever they’re told.

It worked in Venezuela but he got too much pushback in Greenland. 

He doesn’t want to own Iran. Instead he wants to tell Iran what to do.

He told Hamas to surrender and insisted that they were scared of him and proclaimed the war was over in Gaza ……..and Hamas did the exact opposite.

He promised the end of the Ukraine war fast and tried to tell Putin what to do and Putin did the exact opposite. Then he acted shocked that Putin would ignore him.

In Iran there is a much different dynamic. Donald Trumps most likely actions will be whatever he thinks will make Donald Trump look good, especially if he thinks that it will distract people from his numerous problems at home.

And it really is a profoundly blatant abuse of the United States military by a deranged and very dangerous man that uses the worlds strongest military for his personal agenda.
