Donald has the taste of warlord in his mouth.

This, in combination with him being a stupid effing yuck.

Probably means that we'll be at war with Iran this time next year.

Iran because it sees a possible split developing between the US and Israel due to the continuing war..

Iran didn't "pull" anyone into war.
