Do you support Trump's eagerness to get us involved in multiple wars? Didn't you guys want to stop meddling in world affairs and starting war?
Trump has put Iran "on notice" regarding their missile launch, which may provoke them to war and that war will be worse than Iraq was.
Trump said he'd like to do a full scale war on Yemen.
Both Bannon and China said war between China and the US is inevitable soon.
Trump threatened to invade Mexico on his nasty phone call with their President this week.
And Russia has increased the brutal attacks against Ukraine, and is moving resources towards the Baltic states.
In 11 days, the world has become more unstable, and us closer to full out WWIII than we've been probably since WWII.
Why is this perfectly ok with you guys? Why is it so easy for you to rationalize this away? Do any of you have family in the military? They're likely to be sent to war pretty soon at the rate things are going. Do you even care?
Iran isn't stupid enough to be provoked into a war. ...
Serious question here. You don't think that Trump's rhetoric and threats might not undercut Iranian moderates in their struggle against the radical Ayatollahs resulting in mutual escalation?

Link above shows you every war since the Revolutionary War in 1776 to present day. Just relax. I just can't imagine a life filled with fear and worry every day. That's not living...
The fear isn't dying, it's having some bozos at the helm who may well kill off a good part of an American generation for NOT ONE good reason and go about their own lives as if nothing happened. It's time we hold those who start unnecessary, wasteful, bloody wars of choice accountable for betraying the country and the public trust because that's exactly what they do.

And what, pray tell, will you do if he HELPS our country.... because he has to do things that not everyone likes. Will you praise him if he does something good? Why so quick to judgement? He has only been in the White House 11 days. Give him a chance. Do you think he wants his family to be hurt? He has the best in the business that will GUIDE HIM as to what the best maneuvers are, when it comes to PROTECTING AMERICA!
But can the same be said for the POTUS and his cohorts?
I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

I don't see where the Ayatollahs are radicals.
The US sold chemical weapons to Iraq. US military advisors green-lighted the use of chemical weapons. The result was the death of more than 20,000 Iranians and injuries to more than 100,000. When did Iran retaliate against Iraq for the use of chemical weapons?
They've never retaliated as of yet, in part because a fatwa by Khomeini banned the use of chemical and nuclear weapons.
That doesn't sound very radical to me.
What do you think the US would have done if Iraq had used chemical weapons against US troops?
The US interfered politically, socially and economically in Iran from as early as 1953 starting with the attempted murder of PM Mossadeq to 1979 (and then continued to interfere economically). The US was "building democracy" by selling Iran all manner of military equipment that it did not need, while exporting Iran's oil wealth to the US and Britain and not reinvesting a single dime in Iran (which is why it is still "backwards"). There are hundreds of thousands of victims of the Shah's reign still living. They're not going to forget that quickly. The Iranians are tired of US intervention in their affairs, so logically they tend to shun Western values, especially where the US is concerned.
The Ayatollahs are doing whatever is necessary to keep the US out of Iran, and there's nothing radical about that.

He's already the worst President in US history in a matter of 11 days with the lowest disapproval rating EVER. It takes years to reach this level of disapproval in every other administration. He's literally throwing the entire world into chaos, destroying all our diplomatic relations, pissing off our allies so they abandon us, and is creating a fascist regime like the Nazis. Best in the business around him? He has by far the worst, most inexperienced and corrupt Cabinet in US history and a literal Nazi who said he wants to destroy the country.

I know a lot of liberals around here on CD really want a military confrontation with Russia.
I guess our ME campaigns are t enough for them.
