Trump is going to need a war to distract from all of his other disastrous decisions. nt

[Renew Deal]

[putitinD]

1. The next 4 years will be one big distraction, when he and his cronies are done, we will be left with

a 3rd world nation.

[bdamomma]

18. if China wants us to repay our debt

the country will be a 3rd world nation.

[NightWatcher]

2. He's going to need a winable war to distract us from the losing one his tweets start.

[workinclasszero]

11. And he will "win" it with nuclear weapons too

[Dave Starsky]

19. This is what I find so fucking unbelievable.

This asshole grew up during the same Cold War I did. And he has absolutely NO concept of mutually assured destruction or the serious consequences of even a "limited" nuclear war (like there could ever be such a thing). These are concepts any fifth-grader could tell him about. This is terrifying.

[workinclasszero]

20. Right...or the concept of...

Nuclear winter.

Just more leftist BS science like climate change to hold back real "mercan's as far as Herr Dump is concerned no doubt.

[BeyondGeography]

3. He's looking forward to that aspect of his job, regardless

[exboyfil]

4. Iran definitely Iran

Destabilizing the oil from the Middle East will also be an added benefit. If we can afford the $4 gasoline then it will bring a lot of jobs back online in the U.S. extraction industry.

Win/Win/Win - MIC and weapons, extraction industry, wag the dog

Added props for looking Presidential as we kill more brown people.

Downside is we kill more brown people and our own sons and daughters, weaken ourselves in the eyes of the international community, and further balloon the national debt for a $5T war.

Best of all you can blame Obama for the money he sent them. Anytime a weapon is effective, and make no mistake Iran will prove a tougher nut to crack than Iraq, the weapon was paid for by Iran's money which we sent back to them.

6. Na, Iran is a strong ally of Russia

[exboyfil]

7. I don't think that marriage is going to last

God help us if it is China instead. It almost has to be someplace. Who did Michael Moore say it would be? Iraq again? Saudi Arabia? Venezuela? Cuba? If Iran is off the table, then Syria is as well? Genocide on the PLO? Nigeria? India? North Korea (I think that gets my vote being another one of the Axis of Evil and everyone hates them even the Chinese).

How does Trump save face given what he said about the Iranian deal during the election? Wait a second - I know - it never happened.

[thejoker123]

5. Yup, I was just telling a friend

last week that what really scares me more than anything is that you can bet these guys are well aware that they need some sort of major event to change the narrative and silence media dissent.

To be clear, what they really want is another 9-11.

[onecaliberal]

14. Media dissent? There is none of that.

[uponit7771]

8. +1, and it has to be bigger than 911... DPutin is not beyond that

[workinclasszero]

9. Iran of course

Anyone who thinks a war with Iran is not on the way with pu**y grabber-in-chief at the helm, ain't been payin attention.

Could easily go nuclear as well. The time for people in the military to get out is now. Once Duh Furor attacks Iran, stop-loss will go into effect immediately no doubt and you will fight till you die or get horrendously maimed for life.

Bet your life a war with Iran is coming, republicans love to spend the blood of poor kids in the military to enrich themselves and their MIC pals.

How many of Trump's kids were in the military? LOLOLOL Not to mention he was a draft dodger himself.

Get out now, don't even think about reenlisting.

[Are_grits_groceries]

10. We may get one from North Korea.

Km Jong Un is batshit crazy. Trump's actions have to unsettle him. He may get a wild hair and start really pushing South Korea. Then we will be in it.

[Renew Deal]

12. Lil Kim is living too comfortably to try anything like that.

He knows it's over if he starts a major war.

[workinclasszero]

13. Can NK's nuke missiles reach the west coast now?

[MiniMe]

15. Or China, he sure is pushing China's buttons the last few days

[lunasun]

16. Henry IV yes

Therefore, my Harry,
Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne
out,
May waste the memory of the former days

[RonniePudding]

17. Or another 9/11

Never a good time for that kind of thing, but it strikes me that with the rise of nationalism and fascism in America and the rest of western Europe a big terrorist attack would pretty much put an end to our way of life and government as we know it. That's my biggest fear right now, not something he will do necessarily, but extraneous events that could boost his appeal.

[Johnny2X2X]

21. Bingo!

We will be at war by the Summer.
