    Dropping bombs on Iran is just making them mad.

    If THAT is NOT the GOAL then I’d like to hear what the goal is.

            Trump doesn’t have a Big Red Button. There are several steps in the command-and-control infrastructure that would stop him. Hell, I doubt the people around him would allow him to even try and open the Nuclear Football and get the codes.

            I came of age at the end of the Cold War and understand the consequences. No way in hell dementia boy is going to be allowed to launch even a small tactical nuke.

              I hope you’re right. At the same time, he has surrounded himself with sycophants and religious zealots who would be completely supportive of his wish. Many believe the end-times are here and this is the next logical and necessary step.

      Trump-connected folks bought oil stocks on Monday after they dropped the price by floating openness to peace talks, it’s time to raise them once again!

          Um, did you sleep through the whole GameStop short thing where people confirmed that Wall Street is rigging the whole system…?

          They’re absolutely complicit. The shenanigans we allow those fuckers on Wall Street to get away with are outlawed in many other countries.
