What if, when he instructs these military folk to bomb these cultural sites, they just tell the idiot in chief to fuck right off? Can someone with a smarter brain intervene and just tell this child “no”? That could possible save us all.

Does the Trump Tower qualify as a cultural site? Asking for a friend.

A self-fulfilling prophecy?

There is a reason why when it comes to dicks, that Trump never asked to see Obama's 'long form'. Guess Trumply had some inside info on that one eh. Otherwise, he would've dick pic'ed us to death by now.

Also too, if Trumpper were a game of golf, he'd be a quadruple bogey, have a short putter and orange balls.

And yes, Trumpstain has also managed to fuck up twitter because of course he did.

:Abdul-Mahdi said the Iranian military leader had flown to Iraq to negotiate, and he claimed Trump had asked the Iraqi government to mediate."

THE PeeResident has fucked up, however is he any worse than Obama's droning a couple of Americans and countless wedding parties?

No, we let Bush and Obama launch Helfires with out much criticism just because. Let us remember that just because our guy did it, doesn't make it right.However we can impeach the mother fucker for lots of things so let's do that!

That's a much better idea. Also, take down Twitter for a month or two.

It becomes more understandable if one believes Putin gave Trump "secret information" about an imminent attack that would be prevented if only a sufficiently strong and brave Trump took immediate action. Trump has repeatedly proven he rejects U.S. intelligence while taking anything that Putin says as gospel, so it's not a nutcase scenario. A Persian Gulf War shutting down Middle East oil transportation would make the new Russia-to-Western Europe oil and gas pipeline a big long-term win for Russia. If there is a U.S.-Iran war, NATO would probably sit it out, further driving the wedge into U.S.-Western Europe relations, providing another Russia win. From day one, Trump dismantled the U.S. diplomatic establishment and stopped forming coalitions, allies, or even polite relationships. This hasn't made the U.S. safer, more prosperous, or more respected. Before our previous hideously expensive Gulf Wars, we at least put some effort into ginning up a bunch of lies about Kuwaiti freedom and weapons of mass destruction to justify the upcoming events. Trump and Pompeo haven't bothered to flesh out whatever specific "imminent threat" made the attack on Iran's military leadership necessary, and I personally believe that's because Putin didn't need to tell Trump any details beyond it being something that a true global badass would do, and I don't see any likely consequences of Trump's taking the advice except more long-term wins for Russia, all of which will laughably go down in the history books as "unintended consequences"....

All those with smarter brains have been fired, and all that’s left are grease-stains, grifters, yes-men, True Believers, and weasels.

Yeah, this here person living in the fallout zone of NYC is sleeping a little less comfortably the past few days. Damn, when can we get off this planet and start over again on a new one?

I’m old enough to remember the years right after 9/11, when speaking out against the president was shouted down as treason because “we’re at war and the nation needs to stick together and support our leader”. I could see a war tipping the scales of the election toward Trump.

Sadly, we knew it was going to get worse, before it could get better. Why hasn’t this jackwad stroked out already?!? His diet, his lack of exercise, his age....I guess Hell doesn’t want him either.

If you need to be frightened more, read this:

What a War With Iran Would Look Like

“The Islamic Republic can use proxy forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen to attack the United States and its partners. It has an arsenal of ballistic missiles that can target U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Its mines and land-based antiship missiles can wreak havoc in the Strait of Hormuz and drive up global oil prices. Iran has the capacity to shut down a significant portion of Saudi oil production with aggressive sabotage or cyberattacks, and with its paramilitary unit known as the Quds Force, Iran can attack U.S. targets around the globe.”
