Trump is looking for an "off-ramp" after advisers became concerned at Iran's ability to hit United States bases across the Middle East and kill American troops in retaliation for any military intervention, such as the targeting of nuclear facilities with bunker-busting bombs.

.... Trump is looking for an "off-ramp" after advisers became concerned at Iran's ability to hit United States bases ...

Pres Trump seemed to get so hepped up over the FoxNews coverage of the initial Israeli raids on Iran. He seemed to go to bed against striking Iran, but then in the morning (after watching FoxNews' obsequious coverage of Israel's successful bombing of targets in Iran?) he seemed to want to place himself in the picture.

Then he got more belligerent towards Iran. Doing things like ...

So, is Pres Trump looking for an "off-ramp," or is he just trying to obfuscate what is happening?


In this area, I'll offer a rare agreement with Pres Trump --- don't show your hand until you have to.

@#3 ... Trump's brain is like a box of chocolates ...

Oh yeah.

I readily admit, that the agreement I proffered in @2 was based upon an assumption (and, likely not a good one) that Pres Trump is able to think rationally.

That aside, Pres Trump not showing his hand at this stage is a good tactic.

Does he have a strategy to back up this tactical maneuver to obfuscate?


I wish I knew. But based upon his past actions ...

I also agree with everything Putin's Beach does. Whether he chooses to spit or swallow, he made the right decision.

If the------------- really wants to damage Iran he'd become its President.

"What If Trump Nukes Iran?

Should the U.S. join Israel, the likeliest scenario is still for it to use its bunker-busting bombs to go after Iran's nuclear program " however, there are now conflicting reports as to whether the Trump administration is actually considering using a tactical nuke.

It was originally reported that the scenario of using nukes was not presented to Trump at all, but the White House has since pushed back on that report and stated that no option has been ruled out."

WAR CRIME. Trump's a real piece of work. He's too sociopathic and more importantly, Stupid to realize how absolutely insane that is.

Especially FOR Israel... Rent a Nuke?

It saves Israel from exposing and using one of their own.
