So, trump wants a war, when and where will it be?

traitors in the white house are slow walking a WAR, maybe they are into a lite jog ... South America? Iran? Pakistan? China Sea? Middle East? ... wow trump has really opened his options but the bastard is going to start one ... before the 2020 election. He must be stopped before he can do so.

And I'm sure John Bolton is 100% on board.

Wag the Dog. Scary and prescient movie.

Especially after the remarks Cohen made about Trump not accepting an electoral loss in 2020, I believe we need to get him out of OUR White House before then.

harboring weapons for the counter government supported by the US ... sound familiar? Iran Contra and elliot abrahams ... now running the response to Venezuela ... sucks

My bet is a war with Venezuela. It's got all the right features. Oil to steal, beaches for Trump resorts, socialists, brown people, and a total inability to hit us back.

Only problem for Trump is that Putin has aligned himself with Maduro, so I don't really think he'll get the green-light from his puppet master.

allure (and the insane base Mooslim-hating) of Iran. Iran has everything ol' Dumpo could want, except it might not be so easy....

Yeah, not so easy. If he ordered an attack on Iran, I'd give it 50/50 we'd have a coup instead of his orders being followed. And we'd get to see just how well the 25th amendment (section 4) works for removal of an insane person.

Unfortunately, I give it only a 50/50 chance at this point.

I'm fearing & thinking this one.

From that wiki...."a final effort to force the dictator to step down without violence, the delegation presented General Cédras with a video feed of the 82nd Airborne Division's aircraft being loaded with troops..."

Lots more at that website.
