Just spitballing and riffing channeling his inner Joe Pesci mobster character.

I hardly think putting civilians at risk and in the dark is going to help.

[Renauda]

Nor do I but I suspect Trump has convinced himself that by doing so he will win the Iranian people’s hearts and minds so they go into streets and rid him and his ego of the ungrateful and uncooperative Islamic theocracy.

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

As I have said before, it is hard to believe that this is the best we could do to lead the country.

It’s clearly not but does show the risks of an election. In a weird way it confirms the process isn’t rigged.

[Mik]

Yeah, it does. It also speaks to his intelligence. He’s turned the political process on its head twice.

@Mik

It also speaks to his intelligence.

More like lack thereof.

One wonders if anyone is contemplating whether Iran might use a cyber attack against the great satan. I always was disheartened when Condoleezza Rice was shocked that anyone would use airliners as weapons.

Interesting point, I wasn’t aware of that. In defence of Dr. Rice she was a recognized Russia expert and probably only had in process knowledge of the fanatical nature of the Islamic-fascism of Al Qaeda. I don’t think at the time she fully grasped the irrational and rabid mindset of the religious fanaticism of Bin Laden and his network of terrorists.

Likewise, I am not certain current US leaders understand the depth of the religious fanaticism that determines the Iranian response to US ultimatums, threats and military strikes against their theocratic tyranny. The God laden Christian rhetoric (actually, unmitigated B.S.) from the likes of Hegseth only fuels the fire and lends nothing to the mission the troops are being asked to accomplish.
