I was going to say this!

“We’re not fighting or at war with any country, but the enemies have to clearly understand that war with Iran will be the mother of all wars and likewise peace with Iran is the mother of all peace” - President Rouhani

What?! That's calling for war?! COME ON!

There's a certain type of person that loves this kind of talk

Then you feel free to go join the front lines and fight them. Don't force everyone else and their loved ones to be cannon fodder.

To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
Fortunately, most of the world knows that Trump is about as psychologically stable as Kim Jong Un. No one takes him seriously anymore except for his equally nutbar American base of supporters.

Meaning send in the MOAB's.
Do that and the Iranians will attack American interests worldwide. You don’t want that.

Staying and mopping up is part of war. If you can’t do that, then you didn’t win.

A skeptic of his like me would welcome it! It doesn't make the US look any stronger when the President is yelling on Twitter about attacking Iran; myself, and my colleagues and friends alike both laugh at these types of situations albeit they're very serious. Seriously think, he is typing in all caps about attacking another country. So pathetic.

And no, this isn't to suggest Iran is entirely innocent, but then again what country is? The US has had unofficial relations with Iran when convenient (see President Reagan Iran Contra-Affair) yet we cannot have relations now? And these are the adults in the room? Come on.
Great post. 👍🏿

Default Trump threatens Iran in ALL CAPS, rolls over and begs for Russia

The cognitive dissonance is thick with this latest tweet..

Rouhami tweets something about how the US should watch out and Trump immediately all-caps a threat to kill Iran if he doesn't shut up.

Meanwhile, direct FBI evidence of Russia cyber-intrusion is ignored, Trump sides with Putin, and we're told my conservatives that Trump is so smart for "seeking peace" with Putin. Where was this same edge with Russia when Putin talked about how Russia is the only nation that can credibly reduce the USA into radioactive ash?

So which way is it? There is zero consistence in this administration. It's like whatever random thought pings through his pea brain he instantly acts on, and Trump cultists spin it into "three-dimensional chess."
