He shot his mouth off to moron Hannity last night all is well and good. Now Iran has pinned his ears back and we know what cornered rabid animals do.

The cliffhanger teaser is Trump's way of stalling because he doesn't know what he's going to do. He likes to create suspense and drama, but after a very short time, he loses interest because the pay-off is never as dramatic as the build up. See his saber-rattling over Venezuela. When the opposition forces turned out to be not quite as potent or popular as they first appeared, Trump totally lost interest in overthrowing Maduro.

The best way for the Pentagon to avoid getting bogged down in a third quagmire is to inflict a little paralysis by analysis, and wait for Stubbythumbs to lose interest.

The stupid media needs to stop this nonsense in asking these types of questions. This same shit gave him the idea of using "national emergency" when he had no idea there was any such thing.

Lastly, an "attack" or Iran would be just that - an attack, which would be condemned by the world. What the fuck is the justification - "they shot our drone which was flying near their country"? What would our attack be? What would we attack for the drone downing? You guys know they shot one down a few years back to, right?

Again, the world does not support an attack on Iran. They are a sovereign country with elected leaders. An "attack" by American will be seen as just that.
