Would Trump start a war with Iran to deflect attention from Mueller probe?

[kudzu]

Seems possible given his temperament, but I think even he knows that it wouldn't sell to the majority of Americans and would be a huge political mistake

He is employing Iran as a deflection now, I see the scenario playing out just as it did with North Korea and Russia. First the exchange of tough guy rhetoric, then the sudden offer to negotiate, the meeting with photo op and promises to commit to something unspecified, followed by Trump congratulating himself for a historic victory.

Iran will play him just like North Korea and Russia did

Yep.

Meanwhile, John Bolton says North Korea has done NOTHING about denuclearizing .......

[kudzu]

Iran deserves it, even other world leaders like Netanyahu agree.

None of our US allies want a war on Iran. Didn't we learn anything from the invasion of Iraq?

In 2011 Trump ranted and raved accusing Obama of wanting to start a war with Iran.

[CFM]

Ah, I see. Well, Trump hasn't taken that action yet, but he did tweet a couple of times during Obama that Obama would start a war with Iran as a distraction.

Bill Clinton actually took efforts to draw attention away from him by bombing, of all places, a pharmaceutical plant.

You're the ones who took off all the Bush/Cheney shirts after Obama won and stapled teabags to your faces, then you took those teabags off when they didn't accomplish anything with the power they got and put on red hats. And once Trump is gone, you'll run away from him just fast enough to burn the red hat.

I didn't own a Bush/Cheney t-shirt nor did I staple teabags to my face. I do have a Trump shirt and still wear it. If you don't like it, you have the coordinates where you can try to do something about it. If you refuse, it tells me you either don't have as much of a problem with it as you claim or you know there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

[PoliTalker]

We all know The Orange Turd is irrational, unpredictable and unstable but would he go so far to start a war to deflect attention away from the Mueller Investigation? I would love to say No with some certainty but I can't.
Unfortunately, there's nothing this fucking moron could do that would surprise me.
And that's freaking scary. Does it scare yoh, too?

Sadly, this is entirely possible.

He reached out to North Korea and embraced Russia.

Who pulled the plug on his great deal making charm with Iran?

[jbander]

It's just a straight fact that if Scum Bag could take the heat of of him for being a traitor, he would without a second thought start a war. He has in this country and I'm proud to say that I am his enemy. All patriots should be.

Right, but that's wholly different than starting an actual war against a major regional military power.

Oh, the left wing "It's different this time" bullshit, huh?

What war has been started? Interesting how you divert from actual action and address a hypothetical as if it's taken place.

In your fevered attempts to draw an equivalence, you end up moving the goalposts so much that they're not even on the playing field anymore.

In your fervor to kiss another left wing ass, you've lost so much oxygen to your brain causing damage, you now fall below the level of nigger.

You're just a pathetic, lonely incel.

[jbander]

I always love the brain dead who thinks when the subject is president scum bag that telling a story about what someone else does somehow is the answer to what scum bag does or and excuse for what scum bag does.You just have to laugh at these empty thinkers.

[CFM]

You're just a pathetic, lonely incel.

There we have it. Proof your brain has been without oxygen long enough to have caused damage.

Most of us here have already figured that out and put the Resident Racist scumbag on IGNORE. You should too.
