Meeting with Hungarian Premier Viktor Orban on Monday, President Trump
reported that he’s “hearing little stories about Iran,” and that “if they do anything they will suffer greatly.”
While this is the most directly Trump himself has addressed the
possibility of US moves against Iran, it echoes weeks of narrative from
other administration officials claiming Iran might be about to do
something threatening US interests.
The idea of Iran being poised to do something came in the wake of the US
military buildup in the Middle East, trying to present the US as being
prepared to retaliate against some non-specific Iranian threat.
Trump’s comments come in the wake of claims that Saudi oil tankers were
sabotaged, and comments from US officials suggesting that they’d very
much like to blame Iran, but don’t have the evidence to do so.
Did this stupid man ever consider what happens if Iran asks Russia and China to help defend their land and they accept the offer? Gonna make the USA look bad bad bad. Oh well we can always file bankruptcy or can we?
Perhaps this man is not as stupid as you think. Wars always enhance the power and authority of central governments. It is quite clear that this is hat President Trump wants.
Okay, Trumpsters, here’s how it is: Trump is a con man. He’s got you thinking that he’s a grand master 6th-dimensional chess player on the international scene, when in fact he couldn’t negotiate himself out of a paper bag. He’s made you think that he’s some kind of peacenik, when he’s really a Likudnik gangster. He learned to think and talk like a gangster from his mentor, Roy Cohn, decades ago.
You’ve been completely bamboozled by this fraud. Own up to it. Vote for anyone but Trump in the next election… if we have one, that is.
Thomas,,O Ya!!,,All the other Presidents before him were such sweet hearts!! DC has fu##ed us from the day JFK was killed!! Wake up. All DC Ghouls must GO. HUraHHH!
Now it ought to be blazingly obvious that our nation has spawned a new “Deep State”: Trump, Bolton, Pompeo, with their financial and political backers. They have successfully destroyed the old “Deep State” which can no longer be used as an excuse for Trump’s vacillations. On Iran he is fully in charge. It is his baby and he will be responsible for all of the unintended consequences of this mad rush into confrontation.
One false flag attack, coming right up, courtesy of our friends in Tel Aviv.
Now the USA is truly acting as a world BULLY, not that they haven’t in the past. We push, push and push against Iran, cut off their income, break our agreements with them, threaten them, sanction their economy, and then we claim outrage when they push back?? WTF!! Prez. Trump wake up buddy boy, before it is to late for all of us and your re-election, dumb azz!
No, Iran is not going to haul off and attack Israel, either in Syria or Israel proper. It’s government in Tehran is many things, but stupid is not one of them.
What Israel is attempting to do is create a false flag, to be blamed on Iran, as the justification for attacking it, and bringing it the US in on its side, militarily.
And unfortunately, Netanyahu’s ventrilloquist dummy, here in the US, AKA President Trump, has just made it very painfully clear this morning, that the US’s withdrawal from the P5+1, and the sanctions which will ensue, are the US government’s prelude to a war against Iran.
Just because something isn’t the most ham-fistedly, pig-headedly stupid thing the US government could do, is no guarantee that it will not do it, and President Trump’s speech about the US withdrawing from the P5+1 deal, is no exception to this very dark reality. He is making claims about Iran’s actions and capacities which bear absolutely no basis in reality.
The IAEA, which is staffed by amazinglingly bright people, has looked at the suspected facility, and said that there is no “there” there. And if that is what the IAEA is telling the world, I would very much tend to believe them. What Netanyahu and Trump are doing is tantamount to calling members of the IAEA, in their inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities, idiots and liers, and members of this organization is neither.
With a potential corruption indictment hanging over his head, Netanyahu is going to want to jump start this war as quickly as possible, which is most probably the reason President Trump made the decert announcement today, rather than wait until this coming Saturday, 12 May, which was the actual deadline.
Look for this war to generate the revival of the draft in this country, and this time, the US military will be coming after both our young women, as well as our young men. And here is how I see the forces lining up; China, Russia, and Iran on one side, with the US; NATO, Saudi Arabia, and Israel on the other. There is no way that this will be allowed to stay regional; my sense is, it will go global in a heartbeat.
Most likely U.S. fleet is there to help Saudis directly with Yaman and they are worried about Iranian militants.
Bolton needs to be removed from any position of power or influence anywhere on the globe. He has never done anything with any positive influence and is a dangerous menace to any chance of world peace. Trump is woefully ignorant and any weak suggestions of reducing conflict are shot down by Bolton, Pompass and other “advisers”. The USA must not be allowed to pull others into its illegal, immoral and devastating plans.
Trump loves using weasel phrases like “I hear a lot of people are saying…” and “I’m hearing a lot about…” which, when you’re dealing with the easily conned, is a great way to make it sound like your idea is popular and on the tip of everyone’s tongue.
No. Not “hearing stories” , but making up stories? Yes.
trump is the iconic image of the fool. wtf has iran done exactly to deserve this endless bashing by the isn’treal puppet in the usa? nothing thats what. instigating a wae is treason and grounds for removal instantly..
