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

[Toddsterpatriot]

War Iran could end up like another Vietnam war.

Meh.

The people are itching to string up the mullahs.

If Obama wasn't such a twat, they'd have done it 10 years ago.

Nobody was a bigger neophyte than Arkansas raised Bill Clinton who never made a legitimate dime that wasn't confiscated from taxpayers. The only business experience that Indonesian raised Barry Hussein Obama had was skimming money from an endowment fund in Chicago with his (former) domestic terrorist partner. Somehow the demented angry left seems to think that being a community activist translates to presidential experience. President Trump is the only modern president who made a freaking payroll and hired people before he was elected. He made deals with foreign countries while Hussein thought he was making a difference by handing out $20 bills on the street corner to get people to vote for dumb ass democrats.

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.

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

Shock and awe ?

Didn’t that lead to Mission Accomplished in Iraq?

Was it shock and awe, troll? Did the world see the might of the United States military?

Sit your trolling dumbass down for once. You're not intelligent, clever nor informative...just a worthless loud mouth left loon.

According to all the far left morons across the country Trump was going to have us in a war with Russia, China, and North Korea we are currently at war with none of these countries. In fact since Trump has been President the the only military conflicts we are involved in are the ones we were in before he was elected so forgive me if I don't take this latest TDS rant seriously.

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

I doubt it. Nobody wants to fuck with Trump.

Had Kerry been elected when we had the chance we wouldn't have any problem with Iran. After all, with Kerry in office for more than 15 minutes we would have become a minor province of Iran.

Trump designs his tweets for a certain audience, his base. Members of his base are the only ones who will believe what he says. Such is the case with his tweets today.



Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

....On Monday they shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters. We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not....



Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

....proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!

6:03 AM - Jun 21, 2019

"Sights???" Would you trust a President who doesn't know the difference between "sights" and "sites?"

"We were cocked & loaded?" Did Trump get that from a John Wayne movie? What a trite phrase for a President to use, but it is the kind of phrase his fans love.

There is the overall tenor of these two tweets that only Trump's adoring admirers could possibly believe. Our military is about to make a serious mistake according to Trump's story line and suddenly, at the last minute, he rides in on his white horse and saves the day. Good Lord, it is difficult to imagine anyone believing that. Is that how decisions are made in the Trump White House?

"I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike." Very dramatic and a total lie. When the Pentagon presents its options for a military strike, up front is the estimate of casualties. No President is going to learn of the casualty estimate ten minutes before zero hour unless said President is just plain stupid.

"Sanctions are biting & more added last night." Another lie, the White House has not imposed new sanctions, not yet, anyway. However, that seems to be the direction toward which Trump is heading. He backed Iran into a corner, and Iran shot down a very expensive UAV.

Iran called his bluff and Trump chooses to back down.

 

[Sandy Shanks]

Trump has this overblown view of the power of television. Somehow he has gotten it into his head that acting like a T.V. character instead acting like a President is advantageous for him. However, again, his audience is his base. They love it when talks this.



This sounds more like a scene for Madam Secretary than an interview with an American President. Trump was very dramatic as he saved the world from Armageddon.

 

[22lcidw]

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?

Yep, why is Trump any different?

Because you never condemned Bill Clinton.

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

That may very well be the case.

Trump is dishonest and duplicitous; nothing he says can be believed.

And given Trump’s consistently poor approval ratings and polls showing him losing in many key swing states, it’s perfectly appropriate to be concerned that Trump will start a war with Iran in an effort to improve his reelection chances.

No, but we do know that W and O were never ending war neocons. That is fact. You're just relying on emotion and feelings.

 

[Staidhup]

Well if our military presence in the region is the justification supporting the ill conceived notion that we are heading to war with Iran then maybe someone had better brush up on their history. Regretfully there are those that support the notion that peace can be achieved from a position of weakness regardless of the facts stating otherwise.

So..

Trump is a crazy guy who wants war with Iran. When Iran does something to actually warrant a military response Trump passes and you criticize him for that as well?

So, what could Trump do that would be considered a good thing?

Lost 6000 soldiers unnecessarily

Now Trump NOT taking any action is also a call to war?

Holy shit, you just make crap up as you go along.

 

[Deno]

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.

The Fact is you Tards are helping all of Americas enemies with your Butt Hurt for Trump.

War Iran could end up like another Vietnam war.

Not with Trump in charge...
