1. On notice for what?

[underpants]

10. Double secret probation

FIIK

[Initech]

33. I wish we could put Trump on double secret probation.

[UTUSN]

38. DUzy if there is one

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. On notice that the Madman is currently wiping his ass with the nuclear agreement.

Well, that's one way to flush 8 years of hard work down the toilet.

[HoneyBadger]

3. They attacked the Saudis mistakenly (supposed to be Americans)

Oops

Yes I know it says Yemen, but Iran is supposed to be pulling the strings via Iran backed Yemeni Houthis.

8. Was Bannon behind it?

In audio of the video a voice narrating the attack shouts in Arabic, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the Jews.”

Sounds like his plan for the US.

[HoneyBadger]

9. That sounds like a stretch

But we do have Gulf of Tonkin as reference material

[GentryDixon]

11. True.

I suppose I should have put a sarcasm tag on it, but I am sure Bannon is very happy with the outcome.

4. Day one is all Spicer can say

We're not going to war with Iran. It's all no put up and no shut up.

[uponit7771]

6. +1, yeap... and if they do launch anything it'll be ANOTHER clusterfuck operation

[uponit7771]

5. That means MiniPootin will launch another fucked up action

[Frogg]

7. They are provoking Iran...

Reporter asking what that means now. Spicey is saying they are telling Iran the US is not going to allow what they (Iran) did with the missile firing thing without counter action...not good. They just can't wait...

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Just the start my friends.

There have been many a story about the Military not wanting to go anywhere near Iran. This is a Neo-Con Cheney quick sand thing. They think the Iranian People were wrong over throwing the Shaw.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Iran is not f'n Iraq

and the geopolitical risks are so much greater.
There is ZERO support for anything like this internationally.
Russia and China have enormous interest.
Iran is very well armed and is a massive country.
WTF is Trump thinking??? Are there any sane
Republican congress folks who can stand against this???
This is just stupid.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Had this idea when

Trump and Bannon chose Mike Flynn.

[Iggo]

20. They can't even find it on a map.

[HoneyBadger]

14. This is increasing the likelihood that Iran wins best foreign film

15. you know

Iran and the US have this:

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. I'm surprised he didn't point 2 fingers to his eyes and then turn to a camera

and say "yeah, Iran, you" and point. Vague tough guy talk. Either Trump said "go out there and say 'on notice'", or Flynn shares Trump's insecurities and covers up with movie dialog.

[Blue_Tires]

18. I'm old enough to remember when Hillary was the scary warmonger

and Trump was the non-interventionist 'peace candidate'

[Blue_true]

23. Seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Ask a BoB or

A Jill Stein voter for the actual date, they watched Hillary like Hawks.

[maryellen99]

19. I don't blame them if they are

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/is-iran-preparing-for-war/

[raccoon]

21. Yeah, Iraq disarmed and look what happened to them. nt

[kentuck]

22. I wonder if there was another reason he sent the Secretary of Defense away for a few days?

If there is no one there to offer a counter argument, there is no telling what Trump, Flynn, and Bannon might do?

They made their announcement as General Mattis was on his way to South Korea and Japan.

[spanone]

24. flynn is going to get his war. he's crazier than trump.

[maryellen99]

36. And he is itching to use Nuclear Weapons :(

[spanone]

37. they are swatting the hornets nest...we are the aggressors....sadly

hard to believe we went from Barack Obama to this. hard to believe.

[maryellen99]

39. Yes it is :(

[roamer65]

25. Iran's retaliation for any American provocation...

Watch the whole Ghawar oil field in the KSA go up in smoke, along with Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura oil facility.

[kentuck]

28. Or something in Jerusalem?

Two birds with one stone...

[Kingofalldems]

26. That'll be the first country Trump nukes.

[workinclasszero]

27. War is coming...It's what fascists do

Try not to invest your son's and daughters if possible.

[hollowdweller]

29. So will Iraq join with Iran to resist?

[Volaris]

31. Almost certainly...

The LAST Republican President went ahead and saw to THAT.

[roamer65]

35. Yes, southern Shi'a Iraq.

They will probably invade Kuwait and the KSA. Then push west to link up with Assad's forces in Syria.

[Hoyt]

30. Actually, Iran put Trump on notice that they are not defenseless like Iraq.

If Iraq had a creditable Air Force, Navy, and Army, bush would never have invaded them. Iran does. Trump can beat his chest all he wants, but a bunch of our guys will get killed attacking Iran. And what would we accomplish, anyway?

[roamer65]

34. Iran has a shitload of Russian SS-N-22 "sunburn" missiles.

Things will get nasty quickly if they decide to use them.

[spanone]

32. republicans WAR
