Trump Reportedly Orders Military To Attack Iran Before Strikes Suddenly Called Off

[Lady Freedom Returns]

President Donald Trump authorized U.S. military strikes against Iran on Thursday, but officials abruptly pulled back from carrying them out just hours later, The New York Times reported.

U.S. military assets, including planes and ships, were in position during the early stages of the strike, ready to target several Iranian assets, the Times, citing senior administration officials, said. But those plans were called off before any missiles were fired. ABC News later corroborated the reports.

"Donaldski: call off your forces and settle down with a bowl of borscht."

3. Clearly, he has no idea what he's doing

At least he waffled on the side of no war for now.

5. OFFS ... you've got to be kidding me right now ...

Either this whole thing is the clumsiest-ever 'warning shot' (via the news media ) ever fired, or the Shitgibbon has finally lost his ever-loving mind.

If it's the latter, please tell me that the Military convinced him what a bad idea this actually was.

OOOOOR this is just more distraction/gaslighting from this gang of fucking assholes.

6. Trump thinks starting a war will boost his failing poll numbers.

Historically, that's always happened. Will war with Iran guarantee him re-election?

8. I'm sure putin had a say
