Not following the Dems’ advice, Bolton’s too smart to advise getting mired in an unnecessary war.
Is the US targeting Iran now??
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
About as many as Lincolns got that horrible sick feeling that comes over a servicemember when you realize the commander can't make a decision.
Trump��s account of planning, then canceling Iran strikes is facing scrutiny
Aides around President Trump and military analysts are questioning his description of events. And no new sanctions were imposed against Iran, in contradiction of Trump's tweets. The confusion comes as key allies are already questioning the U.S. narrative about Iran��s culpability for recent attacks on oil tankers.

Interesting. One would think POTUS would have been briefed FULLY prior to launching strikes of any kind......... and that includes est number of fatalities. So did he not hear it.......did he ignore it did he not internalize it??
It is not that he is indecisive.......it is that he does not listen or hear the info coming to him........and that might mean he has attention issue .......
IMHO.......he made the right decision.........but how he made it is highly concerning. Don't think that this has been missed by keen observers. How it will be interpreted is the concern too. The decision making process is under question......and therefore vulnerable.
This in reality is Trump's first BIG test........and his performance is questionable.

The US will do shit about it, even worse if it was in Iranian space. The odds are very high the US shot it down themselves.
Horse shit! Bolton is a war monger. Where do you get your "information"? Oh yes, alt-right fake news blogs.
It,s what capital does, nobody can afford war without capital, capital funds both sides, guess who wins?
Putin warns US over Iran in annual call-in show
Amid increased tensions between Iran and the U.S., Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the U.S. that a military conflict with Iran would be “catastrophe” and said that Iran was observing its commitments under the Iran nuclear deal.
Speaking during his annual phone-in event, Putin said that he was concerned by the shooting down of an American drone by Iran this week and worried that the U.S. had no ruled out using military force against Tehran in the ongoing crisis between the two countries.
“I will say it straight, it would be a catastrophe, at a minimum for the region,” Putin said, adding it could lead to a new mass exodus of refugees.
The Russian leader also said that he believed Iran was still complying with its commitments under the Iran nuclear deal agreed with the U.S. under the Obama administration. In the past week, Iran has threatened to increase its enriched uranium stockpile beyond limits set by the deal, in a bid to force European countries to help it manage sanctions re-imposed after the the U.S. withdrew from the agreement.
Russia is also a party to the deal and, like the other European countries, supports its continuation, provided Iran remains compliant.
The comments came as Putin answered dozens of questions during the “Direct Line” show, a marathon telethon where the he takes questions from ordinary people and that has become an annual fixture of Putin’s rule. This year, state television said it had received 1.5 million questions from Russians. The event went on for more than 4 hours.
