Trump will decide whether to bomb Iran in "the next two weeks"

[JLW]

I don't have an issue with this. Good news, Trump is second-guessing his decision to bomb Iran.

Of course, who knows with Trump? What he says today is not what he will do tomorrow or an hour from now.

The US getting involved in the conflict with Iran would be a disaster.

Anyway, talk about yo-yo decision making.

For who? Iran?

If we can topple the Mullahs on the cheap, after Israel does most of the legwork, AND we can get the Iranian people themselves to revolt, it would be a win for 90% of the rest of the world.

Aside from what Trump says, it all depends on whether the Zionist regime needs help.
The deciding factor on them needing help will be determined by the amount of damage Iran is capable of causing.

And too, the possible risk to America's military?

What a mess! Now Pakistan is threatening to nuke the Zionists if the war turns against Iran!

Israel is the nail. We are the hammer. But they can be the hammer too of they need to be.

In think Iran has until the weekend to make a deal. Monday at the latest when Trump heads to Geneva.

I also think Trump intends to strike on the weekend depending on what Iran does.

Are you expecting to be consulted in advance?

I don't think a deal is possible. All giving the Mullahs an out would do would make us go through this all over again 10-20 years from now.

Trump can't afford to give off the air of impulsivity here. He needs to make it look like he's done all he could before he ultimately strikes.

Making any kind of deal world be foolish, but he has to show that he did everything to keep his promise.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I think he's laying the groundwork for a message that goes:

"I tried to be patient with Iran, I gave them 60 days, I gave them chances but they gave me no choice but to strike."

Oh, he will keep talking about a deal, I just think it's a smokescreen.

That it may very well be.

Yes, sums Trump up exactly. The MAGAts will say he is a genius. The truth is he is a lying scumbag and conman. And worse than that, he may go down in history as a mass murderer. And Trump does not like to do things unless he is the biggest and best mass murderer in history!

 

[WorldWatcher]

Will this be before or after his totally beautiful health care bill due in two weeks (years ago now) that will cover everyone, for less money, and with better services?

Or maybe after his infrastructure week?

Why are you rooting for Iran?

The more I read the OSINT channels the more I think Trump is waiting for the air and naval assets to get in place to facilitate a strike. You could be very well correct in that this is a smokescreen.

The air assets are already there. The Nimitz is 3-7 days from entering CENTCOM area of responsibility.

This is fascinating.

What I want to know is if Israel is working with the deposed "Shah" and any monarchist resistance inside Iran, waiting for the right time to try to overthrow the Mullahs.

We are the crux of that decision, despite what Netanyahu says about Trump "making the decision that's best for America."

So much nuance.

Not necessarily. If that Muslim theocracy can be diminished to an image-only thing (like the British monarchy) and replaced by a civilized government, the desired result can be achieved.

I doubt the Mullahs would take that deal, for them religion IS Power, and being rulers.

There is a better shot of getting the current pretender to the last Penlavi throne as a Constitutional Monarchy.
