Congress voted to get the US out of that war, but Trump kept right on supporting the Saudis.

He's already had the chance to end U.S. support for the Saudi war in Yemen. Instead he vetoed a bi-partisan bill to end it.

Guess what? You're dead wrong.
So we should quake in our boots in fear of what some mad mullah might do if he perceives the U.S. or Israel to have done something, or if he receives some divine revelation about the need for jihad? I'd rather turn Tehran into a parking lot first, or have the Revolutionary Guards sent on their journey for an everlasting meeting with Allah.

Empty rhetoric but I hope they do attack. Obama would have whined an apology and paid baksheesh. Trump, maybe not.

They might poke holes in the flight deck, but they don't have the capability to sink it. Pakistan does, but Pakistan is having enough trouble with India.

Except that, no.

Right now the US is Saudi Arabia's proxy in their war against Iran. That's all.

At the same time, Saudi Arabia is bankrolling and evangelizing all of the Islamic violence in the West. All of it. Iran is not responsible for any of it, Saudi Arabia is.

A bunch of Saudis and Egyptians financed by Saudi Arabia and propelled by Saudi Wahhabism have already destroyed the World Trade Center.
