    Trump told Netanyahu to not strike Iran, but Netanyahu did it anyway. Huh. Just like Trump told Putin to accept a peace deal in Ukraine and Putin kept attacking. So let's ask the real question: When did Trump become such an impotent beta cuck?

  2. They didn't even consult him....only last week Trump said he told Netanyahu not to do anything to jeopardize the talks with Iran so he can claim to be this 'great negotiator'.

    Shows exactly how much respect the world has for him.

  3. It would be a mistake for our adversaries to presume that Trump's opposition to getting into entrenched wars precludes strikes against bad actors. Whether it is Iran, Houthi's, Hezbollah, etc.

    If Iran attacks U.S. forces 1) Trump will take massive action against them, and, 2) It will not be a long term entrenched war. Those two are not mutually incompatible.

    Did Iran attack the US? Trump has mentioned multiple times that no wars would start under his watch. Something about leverage and the art of the deal. Your boy said it not me.

  5. He has said for example that Iran would not be allowed to develop or deploy nukes and that he would have to take action that would be destructive for the entire country of Iran. Does that sound like he has ruled out any wars if needed? No. It does not.

    Again isreal and Iran are going at it. Is this a conflict that involves the U.S.? Not according to that little Cuban bitch Rubio. Did this start under Trumps watch? Did trump repeatedly say no war would ever start with him as president? It’s straight forward and really no way to wiggle out of it. But go ahead I know you know how to wiggle.

    again something about leverage and art of negotiation.

  7. I think I covered that a couple times over didn't I.

    Trump has emphasized repeatedly that no unnecessary long term wars that could have been avoided would start under him. BUT, at the same time has emphasized that he would destroy Iran if they stepped out of line or attacked us or tried to deploy a nuke. So that is an example of him saying war was not off the table. Just that we would not get dragged into ones that could otherwise be avoided.

    Nevertheless, we are not at war with Iran yet and I don't believe that Trump said no war would ever happen anywhere between other countries and another country.

    We can spin this some more if you want. But the answer will be the same.

    Iran was warned their oil infrastructure would be taken out if they targeted Israeli civilian population centers.

    Iran has now deliberately targeted Tel Aviv and other civilian population centers. Game on. Shortly Iran won't be exporting any oil.


    Jerusalem said to threaten Iranian oil refineries if Tehran targets Israeli population centers with missiles
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveb...ets-israeli-population-centers-with-missiles/

    A senior Israeli security official tells Channel 12 that Israel has warned Iran that if it targets Israeli population centers with ballistic missiles, Israel will target Iranian regime leaders and state infrastructure such as oil refineries.
     
  10. I can hear the Saudi's calling Trumpski right now saying they will backfill any loss of Iranian production. It's a Sunni versus Shiite thing. No one kills more muslims than other muslims. Also the Saudi's want control of Gaza and to move Iranian Hamas influence out. Makes sense. The Palestinians are Sunni.
