The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread

I just don't see him doing it. It's really not an existential threat to the US.

[jon-nyc]

I can see it going either way but I suspect he ultimately will. I could very much be wrong. It’s a coin flip with him.

[Tom-K]

He'll go with it. It's how "kings" act.

[Mik]

Posturing. everything he's doing is to scare the crap out of the mullahs so they will come to the table in weakness. Textbook Trump.

[Tom-K]

Mik I agree, but if push comes to shove he's not going to be the president that let the Mullahs get away with nuking (by extension, over the years) Israel.

I think he knows what success smells like and wants a piece of it.

Is this stuff on your news channels?
It's not on BBC or France 24 etc.

It finds its way there eventually

One thing I don’t get.. I would have expected an uprising inside of Iran. I mean, first we’ve seen just how successful the Mossad has been at intelligence gathering. We’ve also seen a lot more resistance by the populace over the last few years. I would have expected an internal uprising by this point, perhaps directed by Israeli agents in. The country.

There's no internet, the city is getting bombed and Trump warned everyone to evacuate. It's hard to agitate under those conditions.
