This isn't a game of "army men"

[quote]President Trump fired a social media broadside at the Iranian regime Sunday afternoon, vowing that war between Washington and Tehran would result in [b]"the official end of Iran"[/b] before warning, [b]"[n]ever threaten the United States again!"[/b][/quote]

Nothing like completely unnuanced hyperbole and challenge to engender peace internationally. I'm guessing the idiot doesn't realize that 5th Ave. boardroom bully tactics don't work on other nations.

This is reminiscent of his 'fire and fury' blast at North Korea last year , which then evolved very quickly into Donald and Kim falling in love.

And it was only days ago that he was playing the dove and suggesting the Iranians pick up the phone.

This is exactly the kind of mindless foreign policy you get when you have a schizophreniac calling the shots. This clown couldn't think strategically if his life depended on it.

Behind the scenes, he's had Giuliani (when he's got time off from his mission to find collusion between Biden's son and the Ukraine), Newt Gingrich, and even John Bolton, going around the world, egging the Iranian opposition on. The Iranian opposition is led by the Mujaheedeen Khulk, and the former Shah officials.

The Mujaheedeen Khulk was in the business of setting off card bombs that killed thousands of civilians in Iran, and conducted political assassinations. The former Shah officials, well, you know who those are.

Bolton, addressed a Mujaheededn Khulk conference, and concluded by saying "next year in Tehran". Someone should have clued him in, that this was the battle cry for the Jewish Diaspora "next year in Jerusalem".

It's because he didn't get the Nobel peace prize 😂

Would you have preferred a missile instead? Man he just can't win with your ilk

@BlueMetalChick yes... And that pisses me off that we don't back out word/treaties.
That's why respect must be established. I wish they could have a coup and become a secular state or at least get rid of the leadership.
Idk what are your thoughts?

@abe182 I wish so too. Unfortunately the last time they actually decided to hold a democratic election and function as a fairly normal country, America and Britain overthrew the entire government and established a puppet dictator so we could keep getting cheap oil. The one time they did what was right, we fucked it up.

Maybe we'll get lucky though and it'll happen again. I dunno. Maybe our European allies can strike a deal with them and get it started.

@BlueMetalChick we can hope.

Actually the bully tactics do work if you have the means and will to back it up. We definitely have the means they should not push Trump in order to find out if he has the will because he just might.

@Johnson212 Well it didn't work with North Korea , or Venezuela , and neither will it work with Iran. People have long since reached the conclusion that he's full of shit.

@RodionRomanovitch We have not used them with north Korea or Iran. You have been hanging around the wrong bullies. Notice how we tried but were unsuccessful at getting the US Hostages from Iran under a democratic administration in 1979. They held them for 444 days, from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981. You do know what was special about the date January 20th don't you. The hostages were released just minutes after Ronald Regan was sworn into office as President. They knew good and well that the rules of the game just changed and Regan would bomb the shit out of them. Some say walk softly and carry a big stick, I say carry the big stick, be willing to use it and then walk how ever you want.

@Johnson212 lol ..... the same Republicans who then went on to secretly sell arms to the Iranians.

@BlueMetalChick you asked me how I was a functioning adult
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Jackaloftheazuresand Admitting that you're often ostracized because of your beliefs is pushing the definition of what is functioning, I would think.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@BlueMetalChick No, I function because I'm a loner
Human beings murder each other. Throughout history human beings have murdered each other.
