Who needs a rationale when there are vital tweets to send??
It seems Trumpâs patience is running thin.
Youâre pulling my leg, Matt. Trump actually has patience that can be run thin? We need some kind of ârepeated measuresâ design experiment on Trump to verify this.
Basically, Trumpâs mind, (what there is of it) is made up here. Heâs just looking for any kind of pretext, however absurd. He needs a major distraction right now. And, also, he canât count on any kind of international support.
Right, Iran can just point to articles like this to accurately claim that the US is a bad faith actor who is responsible for the breakdown in the agreement.
Like telling the House committee to find something, anything, on Hillary? The 70-year old man / boy is a monster.
What do we owe the Saudis now?
Donald Trump = Unprecedentedly unPresidential.
Why this is really, really bad (the whole article is must read):
At any rate, the serious risk in Iran wasnât that the Iranians would secretly acquire a weapon. It was that the president of the United States would not understand his nuclear scientistsâ reasoning about the unlikelihood of the Iraniansâ obtaining a weapon, and that he would have the United States back away foolishly from the deal. Released from the complicated set of restrictions on its nuclear-power program, Iran would then build its bomb. It wasnât enough to have the worldâs finest forensic nuclear physicists. Our political leaders needed to be predisposed to listen to them and equipped to understand what they say.

Trump: Please give me a reason to drop the bomb on Iran and kill, kill, KILL!!!
Trump voters, Anton argued in the piece, needed to storm the metaphorical cockpit to guard against, among other things, âIran sycophancy.â
Absurb. You get the depth of the hate these islamophobes have if they can construe run of the mill attitudes to Iran in DC as sycophancy.
âWeâ?
NothingâŚ
Trump? God only knows how much.
For as much as he might want war with Iran, Mattis knows damn well Donnie is not CiC material. The transgender ban by tweet, the use of military strikes as a means of generating adoration, the ignorance of a naval vesselâs movements - not fit to oversee a war.
âLookingâ for reasons to make a decision hasnât worked out too well for this guy. Remember Comey?
Thank you.
Bob Mueller is receiving covert support from the IRGC!!! Yellowcake!
Exactly as Lawrence Wilkerson* predicted.
I think that Bannon, President Bannon if you will, really has his focus on Iran. âŚ
This is a drastic change that the American people, if itâs true, if what Iâm hearing is accurate, have been told nothing about. It gets the United States deeper and deeper into this morass now called southwest Asia or the Middle East, and particularly deeper in a burgeoning conflict with Iran. They want to undermine the nuclear agreement with Iran, and they want the American people, much as George Bush wanted to see Iraq as the culprit when he invaded in 2003, and bent the intelligence to make it look that way, they want the intelligence as it were, and the situation on the ground in Syria, so that it looks like Iran is the perpetrator of the failure of the agreement rather than the United States. They hope that will bring the other members of the permanent five and Germany into league with us as we bring the war to Iran.
Thatâs not going to happen. In their fondest dreams, thatâs not going to happen. They may fool the American people, as Bush did in 2003, but theyâre not about to fool the Germans, the French, and the others. This is going to be an interesting thing to see if theyâre trying to indirectly bring on this war with Iran and to abrogate the nuclear agreement with Iran, how many people in the world, I predict none, will follow in our footsteps, and how big a disaster this may be for the United States.

What I think Iâm seeing is a merging of what you might call Trumpism, Bannonism, and the thoughts in at least some areas like Iran of people like McMaster and Mattis. As far as Iâm concerned, this is doubly dangerous because now youâve got the armed forces feeling in sync with this bizarre president. I donât think there could be a greater, more formidable recipe for disaster for the United States.

The last time a Prsident sent out his pukes to drum up intelligence and come up with a casus belli as a pretext for military action, it did not end well. In fact, it did not end at all, and to some extent is still ongoing, morphing into something many predicted would make this country and the rest of the world less safe. Iraq anyone? Does tRump realize that Iraq and Iran just signed a cooperation agreement recently with one another? I doubt it. He doesnât have time for details, or learning, just golfâŚEnjoy your weekend Prsident Putt Putt. Try not to tweet too much.
Same BS that led to the NK nuke.
