The President of War

[eagle1462010]

Did Iran pose an imminent threat to the US? No. Were continued negotiations scheduled for next week? Yes. Had Iran offered to suspend its uranium enrichment program for 3-5 years? Yes.

So why attack? Two reasons. First..............The C.I.A. had been tracking Ayatollah Khamenei for months, gaining more confidence about his locations and his patterns, according to people familiar with the operation. Then the agency learned that a meeting of top Iranian officials would take place on Saturday morning at a leadership compound in the heart of Tehran. Most critically, the C.I.A. learned that the supreme leader would be at the site.

The United States and Israel decided to adjust the timing of their attack, in part to take advantage of the new intelligence, according to officials with knowledge of the decisions.

The information provided a window of opportunity for the two countries to achieve a critical and early victory: the elimination of top Iranian officials and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei.

Second...........trump wanted war. He chose it out of desire, not necessity.

They are Liars Just like you.

They are Liars Just like you.

If only you could show proof for anything you say.

 

[berg80]

Polls indicated both trump and Netanyahu faced dire consequences for their political power with elections coming later this year. So trump is gambling the war with Iran will change the calculus. The WH spin machine is already declaring victory with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death. But a successor has already been named.

If the attack results in a protracted conflict with a spike in the price of oil (causing inflationary pressure and killing the chances of a Fed rate cut), loss of American lives, and turmoil spreading across the ME I don't think even trump's ministry of propaganda will be able to stop a bloodbath in the midterms..........which is what the attack is all about.

Oh STFU you stole an election and put in Diaper Joe to HISTORIC INFLATION

Then again, we should all know by now to never under estimate the power of the right wing disinformation machine and its ability to convince the rubes up is down.

There are legitimate arguments that can made for doing this, but yeah, those arguments are only secondary to self-glorification and self-preservation.

Everything he does is viewed through that lens around the world, there will always be doubts, and that's specifically because of his own behaviors. He constantly brings this on himself. No one outside his flock trusts him. So too bad.

It's also fair to say that the hypocrites on the left would support this if Obama had led the charge.

But Trump sold us something else. He said he was different. He's not.

U.S. Attacks Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government​

The United States and Israel on Saturday launched a major attack on Iran, with President Trump vowing to devastate the country’s military, eliminate its nuclear program and bring about a change in its government.

Large explosions shook the Iranian capital, Tehran, where people reported seeing smoke rising from the district that includes the presidential palace. Witnesses described chaos in the streets as Iranians rushed to seek shelter, find loved ones or flee the city.

The American-led attack appeared to herald a much broader regional crisis. Iranian news media reported that Iran had targeted at least four U.S. military bases across the Persian Gulf — including in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which said they had come under attack.

Iran also fired multiple waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, prompting booms in the skies as Israeli air defenses sought to repel them. Air-raid sirens sounded across the country, sending Israelis running to fortified shelters.

Mr. Trump vowed that the “massive and ongoing” campaign would target not just Iran’s nuclear program, which was the focus of a U.S. attack last June. Instead, Mr. Trump said the United States would “raze their missile industry to the ground” and “annihilate their navy,” arguing that Iran had refused to reach a deal with the United States that would have averted war.

As it turns out, trump really likes blowing things up. Trade deals, nuclear agreements, people, America's participation in the Paris Climate Accords. Anyone who didn't see the attack on Iran coming hasn't been paying attention to Don's increasingly militaristic track record. I think this makes 7 counties he has ordered bombings of during trump 2.0. Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Iraq, Nigeria, Yemen, and Somalia.

But heck, he sure did push the missing Epstein files off the front page for a few days. So in the words of Shrub............Mission Accomplished.

Pretty soon he may catch up to Barry Hussein.

We are now a rogue nation. Welcome to trumpworld.

I don’t recall you calling us a rogue nation when Barry Hussein bombed 8 countries with no congressional approval.

Yep. Such is the nature of partisan ideology.

It was one of his primary promises. So much for that, but the flock still has to spin.

 

[Nostra]

He`s recruiting terrorists and we have plenty of airliners that can be blown out of the sky...again. How did our search for WMDs work out?

How many terrorists did Barry Hussein recruit by bombing 8 countries August West

Pretty soon he may catch up to Barry Hussein.

Neck and neck!

Trump announces attack on Iran, says US will 'destroy' its missiles

The U.S. aims to wipe out Iran's ballistic missile program, prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and help its people seize control, Trump said.

Was Crackhead Biden ever in the front lines when your Vegetable Messiah was bombing countries, dumbass?

 

[Nostra]

Yeah. Suddenly the flock is back into nation-building and sticking our nose everywhere, and all the excuses are lined up and ready to go.

In 13 months, we've bombed countries, kidnapped people, threatened countries, punished countries, mocked, insulted and trolled countries, and it's not going to stop. I guess Cuba is next.

What a damn shame. I would have sworn we were better than this. There are many benefits to being in a Mafia family, but it comes at a cost.

Can you link us up to your pissy pants posts about Barry Hussein and your Vegetable Messiah bombing countries with no congressional approval Mac1958

Nope, you can’t. F-ing hypocrite.

 

[Nostra]

The pretenses for war are nothing more than a repeat of the justification of the Iraq invasion. This, after Dotard said we would stay out of these foreign entanglements.

Of course he didn't know then he'd need a distraction from the missing Epstein files.

Why would Trump deflect from the Epstein/Clinton files, Simp?

He isn’t implicated by them in any crimes.

 

[Nostra]

Yet another illegal war started by a Republican president – the Trump regime’s attempt to deflect from Epstein and its other failures, crimes, and corruption.

A war unauthorized by Congress again reflects Trump’s contempt for democratic norms.

So you are saying Barry Hussein started multiple illegal wars C_Clayton_Jones

 

[Hafar1014]

Although Trump may have started it because of the Epstein files and his need to cover-up his crimes and corruption, this is an unwarranted, illegal attack facilitated by Trump voters and Trump Cult members.

This is not America's war. This is Trump's war. Brought to you by Trump voters and politicians.

Trump is not going to succeed, he's full of shit & doesn't know what he's talking about, such as telling the Iranian people to 'take back their government'! Just how are they supposed to do that? Duh!

This will turn into a fiasco as his ankle grabbing lackeys in his party of ass kissers rubber stamp this violation of the War Powers Act.

The "peace Ptesident"? If that promise wasen't so pathetic it would be laughable.

You people will never learn with this guy.

Major uprising across Iran by tens of thousand can’t topple the Mullahs, but a guy in pajamas and a horn hat was minutes away from taking over the US government.

What a clown you are.

 

[Mac-7]

Imagine if hillary and kamala had been president since 2016

Iran would have nukes and the jihadi dictatorship there would be alive and well

Exactly. Everyone tangled up in his honeypot is looking for SOME kind of distraction. Anything will do.
