It’s hard to understate how poor Trump’s Iran policy is going

  1. I would be afraid of war with Iran and their allies. They have their people so brainwashed they would bypass a military confrontation and go after us civilians in horrific terrorist attacks. We might send bombs from the Gulf to hit military targets and take out all the military capabilities (slingshots with cannonballs) while they send brainwashed clowns to blow up buses and stadiums.

    Talk is indeed cheap, Trump does plenty of it, and Iran saw through such beta behavior, acted by storming a US embassy, and gave Trump his Jimmy Carter moment.

    Yeah, except Jimmy Carter's moment lasted 444 days and included over 50 hostages. You're comparing a gentle summer rain to Hurricane Katrina.

    Rest assured you will NEVER see this with Trump in the Oval:

    The occupiers bound and blindfolded the Marines and staff at the embassy and paraded them in front of photographers.

    I mean come on H4, you can hate him all you want, but lets stay in reality here. There's no one in the entire world.... including every world leader... that knows that Trump would literally deplete $50 Billion of high tech weaponry within an hour if such an occurrence went down. You gotta give the guy credit, no one is going to mess with us.

    You don't need to waste a whole year to make Trump look bad. You can send some hooligans to break shit, and cut tail once Trump sends in the reinforcements. You'll making him a laughing stock by having him eat his words of "we're pulling out of the middle east".

    Only thing I want to jump in on is that Trump is being reactive to Iran at this point. He is not setting the agenda. That’s poor.

    As to your inference that something like a hostage crisis can’t happen under Trump, you’re wrong. It is more likely this week than last week that Iran will further escalate hostilities toward us.

    Trump’s sanctions and stronger alliance with Saudi Arabia is failing and ineffective I. The broader picture of the Middle East. Even Israel is seeing rising hostilities.

    Lets face it... if Trump could take the brains of Abe Lincoln, Gandhi, MacArthur, Patton, Mother Theresa, Mandella, Churchill, and a couple more.... put them all in a jar and allow them to feed into the worlds most powerful AI machine that spits out a daily agenda for him that he then acts upon.... you guys would still be here trumpeting him as an incompetent leader. You just can't let 2016 go, no matter what he does.

    Ah, yes, the good ol' 2016 election mantra, last bastion of the Trumper counter-argument.

  10. Saddest of all... Huge majority of Trump haters don't even have a legit reason. They hate him because their Leftard "leaders" TOLD THEM TO HATE HIM AND BE OUTRAGED AT EVERYTHING HE DOES/DOESN'T... and they go along like the dutiful little brainwashed sheeple they are.
