Is the naive, militarily challenged, foreign policy neophyte, Trump starting a war with Iran?

[Moonglow]

Seems the Japanese tanker that hit was telling people that it didn't happen the way the Trump admin claims it did...

Daily Kook nonsense

Nope afraid not plus there were witnesses..

Daily Kook...it's so you

No, but you can poke yer eyes out anytime you wish...The amount of evidence is not looking good for blaming Iran on this one...I saw the crappy video claiming a mine was put on the tanker...

Starting a war with any country not in the deep arctic would not be a good move what with our having an army of snowflakes. World War II fought with today's "youth" would have ended in under one hour. Guess who would capitulate?

Jump on in and see how long you last. Cause they are not getting my kids for canon fodder over a corporate war..

No, W and O were the warmongering idiots.

Shitstain obama and Traitor John Kerry are advising Iran into starting a war which the democrats will blame on Trump. The Russian story failed. But the Kerry Obama axis of evil has a friend in islam.

What do you think Kerry has been negotiating and planning? This is where ignoring the Logan Act leads.

Obama would have already grabbed his ankles and offered himself to the mullahs.

Trump is doing the same with inaction..and he was caught lying, yet again..

A thread about if Trump will start a war and you’re saying he should have done so already? Can you anti-Trump people get your shit together and figure out what you want?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

If we do have a war it will happen with the mullah regime using 150 billion obie give them.

War Iran could end up like another Vietnam war.

I believe our technology/weaponry has vastly improved since Nam. Not a lot of dense forest over there either. Not sure what you're talking about.

Yes, but war with Iran could also mean war with Russia and China and their Technology is advanced..

 

[rightwinger]

The good news is that neither party in Congress would support Trumps war

Iran isn't Syria. It appears you Warhawks think it will be a walk in the park. It won't be. There is going to be a lot of dying on both sides even if it's done just by air alone.

Yeah like Iraq and the mother of all wars...then shock and awe happened. Lol

Hillary's Arkansas hick pervert husband bombed a defenseless European country when he was caught with his pants down and the crazy angry left thinks President Trump is a neophyte?

The Russian crap didn't last very long in the Iraq War redux...

Yep, why is Trump any different?

He has 60 days under the War Powers Act before reporting to Congress. If necessary - and if he went in with the proper attitude - that would be plenty of time.

Shock and awe ?

Didn’t that lead to Mission Accomplished in Iraq?

It would appear so, although he says he doesn't want a war with Iran. Unfortunately, Americans have learned not to trust anything he says. After all, this is the man who recently said, “No, it’s not what I meant. It’s what I said."

Moreover, actions speak louder than words, and Trump is doing all he can to provoke Iran. After unwisely withdrawing from the nuclear deal with Tehran struck by the Obama administration, which permanently barred Iran from making a nuclear weapon, Trump ratcheted up the sanctions. In April, he moved to shut down Iran’s remaining oil exports.

The only peaceful resolution from this economic vise offered by Trump was a dozen U.S. dictates that would completely reverse Iranian foreign policy and suggested regime change. Combative Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laid out the demands himself, and Pompeo speculated, “what can change is, the people can change the government.”

So, it is quite clear Trump is trying to back Iran up against a wall. If that is Trump's intention, a major flare-up between Washington and Tehran could lead to one of the nastiest, bloodiest conflicts in modern history.

Trump does not have any alternative to the JCPOA -- the nuclear deal he trashed -- other than harsh language, increased sanctions, and threats. Also, Iran, should they choose, could duplicate what Trump did, leave the JCPOA and resume her nuclear research.

Consequently, Thursday produced the entirely predictable images of oil tankers burning near the Strait of Hormuz — and the very real danger of escalation toward armed conflict.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Of course,Trump blames Iran for the attacks, which U.S. officials say involved attaching underwater mines to the ships.

Iran may well be behind the attacks, but there are questions.

First and foremost, why in the world would Iran risk a war with the lone superpower on the planet? There is nothing to suggest that the mullahs are suicidal, and there are serious doubts they want Tehran turned into a parking lot.

The Japanese owner of one of the oil tankers attacked disputes what the Trump administration is saying, and it is awfully convenient the attack occurred while Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was visiting Iran. A bit too convenient, I am not a fan of coincidences.

“We received reports that something flew towards the ship,” Yutaka Katada, president of Kokuka Sangyo, said Friday. “I do not think there was a time bomb or an object attached to the side of the ship.” Katada pointed out that the projectile was above the waterline. Why in the world would anyone plant a mine above the waterline?

On Thursday, Americans learned about a report from U.S. officials that said that an un-exploded mine was attached to one of the ships. On Friday, the U.S. military released video appearing to show an Iranian craft removing an un-exploded mine from one of the vessels. The object was above the waterline.

How did the U.S. military get their hands on that video? Who shot the video? Who caught the IRGC red-handed?

The Lincoln CBG (Carrier Battle Group), of which the guided missile destroyer Bainbridge is a part, was in the area. All 21 crew members of the Kokuka Courageous were rescued by the Bainbridge.

Question, an American CBG controls the seas surrounding its position. How did an Iranian boat move in and remove this mine?

Iran may be responsible. However, questions abound.

Don't panic-let it play out.
