Sounds like the Israeli decided to take out the Ayatollah on Friday based on real time intelligence; US joined in to cash in on the opportunity, consequences be damned, not because the time was right. Trump was pretty much forced into a war whether he liked it or not
That’s donald trump – the greatest President in the history of unintended consequences.
We (i for one, anyhow) can only hope that Trump’s greatest unintended consequence is a very premature end to his presidency and the MAGA 1000 year Reich…
“Inconceivable!”
A memorable line from the classic, and great movie, Princess Bride. 🙂
I think “Dr. Strangelove” is a better match:
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the War Room!”
Commentary everywhere references “the mid-terms” as a control mechanism on bad behavior. For months it’s been obvious to me that the mid-terms will not be the result of a free and fair election. There are now 22,000+ ICE agents who will be filling the role of election monitors to help insure the desired outcome. If there are protests, the Insurrection Act stands ready to bring in more “election monitors” and restore the peace. The late Ayatollah showed us how protesters are to be dealt with, that was a preview, and we’ll have plenty of boots on the ground here to achieve the same result. Welcome to the new USA
Agree, it’s possible he believes he has enough control of the election process to no longer worry about unintended consequences.
“In another interview, with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Trump lamented that he had picked out several candidates to lead a more pliant Iranian government, but the bombing campaign had killed them all. When planning a war to install a puppet regime, a smart president, or even one of average intelligence, would grasp the importance of not killing the puppets beforehand.”
This isn’t going to last merely weeks and, a boots on the ground initiative (by us), will certainly result in an insurgency. So yeah, I could see $100 oil, it happened last time we decided to invade this region.
Are wage and price controls next? They don’t work well, but Trump can make them GREAT.
Iran will be the “dead” deer in the back of David Spade’s car.
