Trump has turned us into an arrogant, foolish super power. We will pay a price for that.

We have the most powerful military in the world. We have the most powerful economy in the world. It would be over quickly. These are the things Trump tells the world all the time. He shoves it in our enemies faces.

I have no doubt Trump has been told by his military advisors that we could beat Iran in conventional war. I wonder, has Trumps military advisors told him a war with Iran may not be conventional. Have they told Trump Iran has the ability to set the middle east on fire?

Does Trump understand Iran could unleash an army of suicide bombers around the world. Car bombings, suicide bombers driving small speed boats, road side bombs, etc.

The people advising Trump better get their shit together or a lot of people, a lot of Americans are going to die.

we just used to act a bit more civilly. Trump is the culmination of American Imperialism.

This probably won't end well.
