The New War with Iran

Post by _moksha »

Not sure why Trump started the war with Iran, but I am guessing it was his way of coping with the Senate impeachment. Seems a shame to go to war since the fix was in courtesy of Moscow Mitch.

I don't even know how this started or why it started.

Anyone want to guess why he tweeted that out shortly before the drone strike, and why he deleted it?

I'll take because he (who is holds no position in the administration) was given a heads up on so-called secret military action by Daddy, tweeted it because he's all gung ho and crap, and then someone told him to shut the hell up and delete it, for 200$ Alex.

Unless I'm wrong. I could be wrong.

I wonder if Eric Trump is in possession of a TS-SCI clearance... Anyhoo.

Informing Eric, but not Congress or key American allies. :sad: Letting a demented scofflaw unilaterlly get us into a war seems awful.

Assassinating a top official of another government is a sign of international criminality. We have set ourselves up for a new wave of terrorism because of Trump's meglomanical psychopathy.

Now this might be something to impeach over, plus stealing Syrian oil, and Yemen, and looking the other way when Khashoggi was chopped up.

I can't help but strongly suspect that Trump figures that being at war with some country or other at the time of the election is the best way to insure his reelection. His overriding motivation for everything he does is is what he thinks will benefit himself, no matter how many people are hurt or even killed in the process. I really don't think he cares about anyone or anything else.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
