Thankfully we have a sane and competent government that's not run by a brain worm infested reality TV star.
Donnie of course sees this as weakness.

I bought into the pro-war bullshit last time around. I was 14, 9/11 was a really recent memory, and I had a couple of idiots that I listened to. My uncle, and a JROTC teacher. One of my biggest regrets is spending 3 formative years of my life watching the latter huff his own farts.

How loving dumb do you have to be to watch the really bad old days of Iraq '06-'07, and then want to repeat that poo poo all over again 13 years later?

Launching ballistic missiles is definitely behavior I associate with a reticence for war

That footage is being spliced into the rotation on Aljazeera, so it's not bullshit. Those are some pretty decent booms.


AJ english seems a little more on top of what's going on and doesn't have Trumps' ugly mug up every other second like our news sources. Lots of speculation still. No commercial breaks for psoriasis medicine though.

It won't be easy. Iran has a better military and better anti-air equipment than Iraq.

The only thing I can hope is that this goes so bad that Trump looks like an idiot.

Well, only upside: Bolton doesn't get the joy of being directly involved :unsmith:

Yup. He put himself into a position where there would be no turning back once Iran made their inevitable response. He pretty much has to do something or risk looking incredibly weak.

What is DEFCON at these days, has it just been like Perma-3 for the last 18 years or what?

E: although most of the past 18 years haven't really involved peer/near-peer opponents so maybe not?

I really wouldn't be surprised if he just cannot handle the fact that Iran called his poo poo out and that he's had a complete meltdown/ loss of coherence. He's not appeared well in the last few public speaking sessions he's had since the crisis kicked off
