Why did Trump at last minute call off a military strike on Iran ?

Just doesn’t make sense.

Because someone finally explained to him that there are very few upsides to going to war with Iran. No real practical endgame. No international support to speak of. No real internal opposition to take advantage of. Lots of asymmetrical ways Iran can get at us and our few allies on this. Etc, etc.

@QuixoticSoul There's loads of words there he wouldn't understand (presumably he got the colouring book version)

@SW-User Just imagine the testicular pain Bolton is going through right now. So... close...

@SW-User I prefer to think of Trump as the huge dumb dog that everyone finds annoying but is (almost) endearing in his predictable awful stupidity...the alternative is that almost half the American people have been conned by a misogynistic wilfully-ignorant corrupt overweight fraudulent borderline-illiterate sex pest and that's not a nice thing to contemplate.

You English folks are lucky that you don’t have him as your leader. He has made our great nation into a laughing stock :/@DaySpider

Is Nigel Farage still causing problems ?@DaySpider

@SW-User yeah but we deal with him by applying milkshakes to his suit
SW-User
I love it, if only we could do that here. Didn’t his party win though?@DaySpider
DaySpider · 22-25, F
@SW-User Yes but look at the turnout of voters. He's hardly loved by the majority of the country
SW-User
Let’s hope his party disappears soon. Is Breexit postponed indefinitely ?@DaySpider
DaySpider · 22-25, F
@SW-User not yet but it's probably conceivable
SW-User
Let’s hope bre exit is eventually called off, as no one wants that in uk as far as I know from my friends that live their. @DaySpider

@SW-User well unfortunately a lot of people do (or at least have been told they should want it)
