The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread
-
You wonder how much this frustrates those who have dedicated their lives to middle east strategy, war games, policies, only to have Trump one day while eating a Big Mac say with a stuffed mouth "Hey, why don't we just bomb them and then send vulgar tweets with bluff threats?"
@89th He really lacks a long term vision on so many things. Or maybe he thinks he does but is not able to make the necessary connections and potential consequences. Or maybe a combination of the above.
But, long term vision for a politician is not easy, whether it is President Trump or somebody else They rarely look past the next election.

@Doctor-Phibes No idea. Depends on negotiations next week I guess...

What with Hegseth quoting fake biblical verses from Pulp Fiction, and Trump declaring the Strait is closed and open at the same time and always will be, it almost feels as if these guys don't know what they're talking about.

It is that déjà vu feeling all over again. LOL
I am starting to get this forum thread confused with the "sad cognitive decline of a president" forum thread.

It's really not that. This is just what he does. It is as constant as the north star, but that very consistency is its weakness. He always states the nuclear option, and everyone knows that's not what he wants to do or will do. The guy needs to learn some new tricks.
