if president over my lifetime, none has done anything to improve things there. so i can point to what all of them have done since jimmy carter, and what kind of president they were? and conclude that every single one of them failed miserable at getting Iran in line. we’ve tried everything except invading, and nothing has worked ( not supporting invasion, just saying that intellectual articulate presidents also failed regarding iran). Let’s not pretend Trump caused this, or that his personality is making it much worse than it was. they’re a rogue state that sponsors terrorists and helps them kill innocent people. none of our presidents has changed that much. obama tried to pay them off, howd that work out? the problem isn’t trump. it’s iran. our friendship with israel, who Iran hates, makes it very tricky.

we should draft condaleeza rice into service, and lock her in a room with the mullahs until they work it out.

general trump is showing great restraint...if he'd retaliated the iranians would show pictures of dead women and children and then we'd have to listen to the democraps and media go on and on about how trump kills women and children...

So what is it? Is Trump dangerous because he is a war monger? Or is he more dangerous because he was not a war monger? |

bombed those sites and killed some folks, the trump haters would say he's bloodthirsty and should have tried diplomacy. because he showed restraint, the same exact people will say he’s too soft. it doesn’t matter what he does. the problem is his existence, not what he does.

But it looks like here he didn't get played by War Mongers. I am not a fan. We could have had a better pres. BTW - the US may have launched new cyber attacks on Iran. https://news.yahoo.com/pentagon-secr...wer&soc_trk=tw |

Who knows what the actual decisions were, but reporting now indicates Trump ordered the attack and possibly due to Bolton’s advice and then senior pentagon officials may have gotten him to cancel. If that’s true and it certainly falls right into his playbook, is that a strong smart president, sits down with all the key people, weighs the pros and cons, then makes the call and sticks with it. This is typical reactionary Trump, hears from someone he likes and goes off quickly in that direction, walking things back is his MO.

let the Iranians know that it was very close to being worse for them. Trump has done things i can not stand. i think he handled this about as well as it could have been handled. he had a few options, and no matter what he did, the liberals in the media would have attacked him for it, and you would have sucked it up like a Hoover deluxe. what would you have had him do? Nothing? Send them more cash? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
I would rather he built a coalition, than send Pompeo after the fact to the Middle East to try and assemble one, or put one back together depending on your viewpoint.
America First (Alone) is not an example of good leadership. Here's the countries that were in the Gulf War coalition and regardless of how you feel about the Gulf War, the diplomatic and military leadership was incredibly skilled. I don't see that happening with this President. The Allied coalition was made up of 39 countries: Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. The US Department of Defense has estimated the incremental costs of the Gulf War at $61 billion, with US allies providing about $54 billion of that -- Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states covered $36 billion. Germany and Japan covered $16 billion. |
