Not even NATO is that stupid.

Nah, NATO was absolutely that stupid because they wanted a full-scale land war with Russia. I honestly believe that Biden would have preferred a nuclear exchange because it would have killed so many fly-over Americans. Genuinely, the biggest reason for a war with Iran isn't just a dead MAGA movement, but dead "MAGAtts". The more dead populists, rightists, conservatives, and patriots in a war, the better. If that number climbs well past 10 million American dead, there's no downside.

He's been saying he's against "war with Iran" for years. Now he says he doesn't care what his own DNI says. He's making Bush look good. At least he had the decency to create a campaign built on lies, but actually manipulated intelligence. Trump will just use lies contradicted by his own intelligence agencies to justify a war of aggression.

If Tulsi and Trump were on wildly different positions on this, I think she'd already be gone. I don't know what they are all seeing right now.

And Trump is falling for it? Like that old Duma deputy said: is this stupidity, or is this treason?

I think Trump is manipulating events using Twitter and social media as a weapon. Someone is telling him to sound hard as fuck. I don't know for sure that this isn't a stunt to push Iran to the table. I'm not clear that Trump has fallen for anything yet. I don't believe "Bibi" for a second about how close America was for everything. I also don't believe Trump's posturing and saber rattling. I don't think that Trump's actually planning on an invasion, but I think he wants to scare the shit out of Iran to think he is.

I think I'd feel more comfortable if I knew what the situation among the diplomatic corps actually was right now. I do think Israel wants a full scale invasion, and I think the Neo-cons do to. I'm not sure that Trump does.
