37. The statement is certainly having the effect he wanted.

Scaring people, he’s so crazy he might just do it, he’s unpredictable and blah blah blah.

This is just an updated version of Reagan’s infamous “we begin bombing in five minutes” so-called joke.

It too prompted fear, an over the top reaction from the opposition and a sense that Captain Jellybean was so hardline and “tough” that he might start a war with the Soviets.

Piss isn’t nuking anyone. And he’s not as stupid and crazy as everyone thinks. He’s ignorant and crass sure but he’s hoping Iran will bite on the crazy bait and capitulate to him.

I don’t think they’re as reactionary and afraid as the people here certainly are. The longer this goes on, the better position they’re actually in. They’re hurting the money people more every day. Piss needs a deal far more than they do.
