Iran
 

Trumps Iran work in completely unrelated to re-election. Definitely. Why would anyone think otherwise?

This is going to be the crapsack world we were promised.

Y'all need to find consensus on this, if it's a crapsack he'll never get re-elected

Wait for it: "You can't impeach me, I'm a War President."

All in all, I would prefer not to have a crapsack.

Unfortunately, they seem to be joined at the hip.

OTOH, making an example of Soleimani for Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (and indirectly N. Korea's Kim Jong-un) that conveys we're not going to turn the other cheek, it's not going to be an eye for an eye, and we're not going to wait for another disaster of 9/11 magnitude before we act, may not be a bad idea. Demonstrating that we're willing to preemptively take out those plotting against us may show that an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. Americans may want a President willing to follow-up on this. Too much snake oil out there.

I think that all Presidents with lingering crapsack wars have had two terms.

Not LBJ but we're much more militaristic and nationalistic now.

Who said war? It probably won't be war.

Iran is as incapable of backing down from this as we would be in their situation.

They are nationalistic as hell, with some religious wallpaper over it.

Let's hope they're all that way, then we won't have to worry about collateral damage.

If every single one of our munitions hit with pinpoint accuracy, there will still be collateral damage.

Iran isn't just going to sit there, and they can't reach us, so they're going to clobber everyone that they CAN reach that has ever spoken to us in a civil tone of voice.

Not in terms of lives. If they all jump on the nationalistic bandwagon, they all become enemies.

What I am saying is that due to their inability to hit us, they will hit anyone that's friendly to us.

They're expansionists, they were going to do that anyway.
