I've got this huge fear that Trump is going to bomb downtown Tehran in the coming months. Don't get me wrong, Iran has to live up to the U.N. treaty, because. But, I'm worried because no president ever elected has left office between terms during wartime, and no doubt, Trump knows it. Ground war is certainly on the table.
So, um...what do you think? There's a fair chance it will get out of hand internationally if it should happen, and I don't relish the ensuing trade wars.

(23 posts)Hey, I'm talking about an emotional issue here. I have a bit of generalized anxiety disorder, and I am quaking in my boots about it. Here to back me up is Noam Chomsky, and I have seen NOTHING else about the issue on the forums anywhere. Foreign Affairs? No Middle Eastern policy section...harumph! Don't dis me!

If Noam says it's scary it must be!

There's not much you can do to control Trump, so don't let it eat you up. Live YOUR life the best you can.
I have a mental health issue, this is a FEAR issue! rofl Not trolling, people are sooo poor at offering any words of kindness these days.
Of course, I live my life the best I can. I don't want to be destitute ten years from now, either.
