I'm Perplexed About This Pullback On This Iran Strike By Trump & The Reaction To It.....

[Blue_Tires]

20. This isn't hard to work out

1. No, nobody wants goddamned World War 3 no matter how many post-apocalyptic movies and video games are on their shelves...

2. By doing this flinch/headfake (while at the SAME time pretending to want to work out a diplomatic solution with Tehran) Trump has not only made us a hundred times weaker in the global community, everyone knows beyond all doubt that neither Donnie nor anyone connected to his administration can be trusted about anything, ever... Why would any nation sign any kind of agreement with us ever again since Donnie can change his mind and rip it up the next day? You think Iran is going to sit at a negotiating table after this half-assed stunt?

3. We need to pump the brakes on this whole bullshit "Donnie was the calm voice of reason against Bolton and his hawk generals and prevented World War III so what's wrong with that?" -narrative before it spreads... I have no doubt that when it all becomes public we'll see that Donnie staged all this kabuki theatre just to fluff his own image and approval rating...
