the negotiated nuclear deal with Iran, has been disparaging NATO, is trying to setup a billion dollar exclusive membership club to replace the UN, etc.

This is NOT A RELIABLE PERSON WHOSE WORD YOU CAN TRUST.

Especially ones as stupid and self-absorbed as Trump.

😒

"And what is the point of the largest, most powerful military in the world if you can't use it?"

And since America is meanest, baddest, and strongest,
I'm also king of the world.

over and over again across history and we ended up with one of the absolute dumbest of them. Why do we let this keep happening?

Greed is the root of all evil.

And after that comes the lust for power, but the fact that the populace keeps falling for these deranged clowns is mind-blowing. The slogan "Never forget" only seems to last for a couple of generations and then the world reverts to the same old destructive crap.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it—always." Gandhi

An attack strengthens the Ayatollahs’ power.

In a way it’s good the demented and perverted traitor is surrounded by assholes who also are dumbasses.

Iran knows it

As we all know, Trump's bluster about Iran and his insistence on attacking Iran are bullshit and there is a LOT in this to worry us all. But one aspect of all this worries me.

We always prepare to fight the last war and we go to war with what we have, which, in this case is aircraft carriers (medium-size floating cities with a population of 3,000 and a modest airfield) and their accompanying cruisers, destroyers, and other support vessels.

In Ukraine, the drone war -- which was unheard of three years ago -- is all but ruling the battlefield. Carriers cost billions upon billions. Drones can be manufactured in your mother's basement for a few $$$ each. Iran is cranking them out by the thousands to supply Russia in Ukraine.

What's the chance of one or more armed Iranian drones getting through all the radar and air defense systems and severely damaging a carrier? And -- Iran has a goodly stock of shore-to-ship antiship missiles as well as a moderate level of air defenses. Yes, our initial attacks likely will diminish their air defenses and their shore-based anti-ship inventory -- but we will not and cannot get it all.

Trump's earlier attack on Iran was not a problem -- flight of Stealth bombers zoomed in, dropped bombs, cause a little damage, and zipped out. This is not the same thing.

US high-performance naval aircraft and crews will be lost. There will be new threats to US ships -- threats for which we are not prepared.

And let's not forget Iran's ability to generate terrorist attacks on US installations worldwide.

All for what goddam reason? Has Netanyahoo convinced Trump that, by attacking Iran, he will then be free to build condos in Gaza? Trump reasoning is that stupid.

IMHO they don't have to actually damage the carrier but take out all those expensive planes parked nice and neat ON the carrier deck!

The USS Gerald Ford (which is on its way there) -

in the area, so at least one or more could intercept those!

When your back's against the wall and it's win or death, you will choose to fight every time
