I don't think this was a case of an individual jumping the gun, it's political posturing inserting itself into a process that was likely started on legitimate orders. Trump's brain is so loving sloppy that he regularly gives contradictory answers at different times, and here we are seeing why that is such a loving stupid way to operate.

Yeah, that's a more reasonable explanation, but it's funny to imagine the local commanders desperately trying to rush this through while the chickenhawks are busy beating their chests on Twitter.

Unfortunately it’s about as believable as anything that the US government is saying.

I mean we all knew past administrations spouted BS and at least sometimes tried to walk the tight rope between truth and lies. But what’s spewing out of the White House is Soviet Russia type blatant lying.

Probably not for the Chinese, but strategically they should swallow the extra cost of the trade war and support Trump for reelection.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Conservatives are either too well off to actually be impacted by conservative failures at governance, or are too racist to care if the boot stays on their neck as long as it also rests on the neck of the undesirables

Trumps base doesn't care about the impact of a war with Iran because in their eyes it would be a war against the muslim hordes versus the ungrateful cuck younger generations that need a good war to toughen them up and weed out the surplus population, also we will kick their rear end because much like the Romans and Brits the sun will never set on the American empire

Did the Kurds and Sunni's boycott the vote where the Iraqi parliament voted to eject the US?

There is a good chunk of the conservative base that really doesn't want another war in the ME.

Now, since it's their guy starting it a bunch of them will get in line, yeah, but some would still be opposed... right?

Conservatives want what their dear leader tells them to want, know what he tells them to know, and feel how he tells them to feel. Their whole reality is a pure function of the President's Twitter account.

So what's the view from the Russian propaganda outlet?

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/477558-iran-trump-nuclear-fordow/

quote:

Iran holds all the cards in coming Middle East conflict with US, unless Trump is ready to drop a tactical NUKE

Scott Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer. He served in the Soviet Union as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty, in General Schwarzkopf’s staff during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a UN weapons inspector.

Huh.
