Trump's dangerous lies & the F'G liar who told em. (He's gonna make IRAN GREAT AGAIN

[Centerleftfl]

I'll preface everything by stating without equivocation, he has fucked up EVERYTHING having to do with Iran. Killing off the Iran nuclear deal was fucking stupid, insane. The genie is out of the bottle and he doesn't get ANY WISHES.

1--No, Trump DID NOT get the body count 10 minutes or 15 minutes or a DAY before the Iranian planned attack. That info is in the first reports, each and every contingency plan. Every plan has 'collateral' deaths and destruction and I'm betting $costs$ for every option. The FUCKER LIED because he fucked up and he was trying to save face. That is completely utterly absurd that he got the death count 10 minutes before and changed his mind.DOES ANY HERE THINK TRUMP GIVES A RATS ASS ABOUT 150 DEAD IRANIANS? The idiots on this board are pissed he didn't go in. Apparently he learned a new word. Proportional response. I learned that phrase in 1994 with a little movie called American President.

2--The planes were in the air. He lied.

3--He fucked up! Here's the scary outcome of his lie. They have no room to move and they have ZERO reason to trust HIM.


...But in this particular case, it’s precisely because the story he told is completely false that Trump is trapped in that contradiction right now — and we are trapped in an escalating situation with potentially horrible consequences.Trump’s story about Iran has always been a lie.

As many observers have noted — see this from Evelyn Farkas, or this Post editorial — it is Trump’s decision to pull out of the international nuclear deal negotiated by President Barack Obama that has led to this moment. The short version: Iran was abiding by the deal, and was being constrained from developing nuclear weapons. But Trump pulled out — then reimposed sanctions to choke the Iranian economy, and has since dictated terms for sanctions relief that appear deliberately unrealistic, cornering Iran into a choice between escalating on its side or submitting entirely to those terms.

As David Ignatius explains, the administration is confident that this submission is right around the corner, but this would require “total capitulation.” The continued push for this makes miscalculation — and war — more likely.

But let’s focus on the original withdrawal from the deal. In the run-up to that decision, Trump falsely claimed Iran was on the verge of total collapse before Obama negotiated it, and overinflated what Iran financially got from it, to falsely portray it as a giveaway to Iran. Trump also insisted the deal was premised on believing Iran could be trusted not to develop nukes (in fact, it had strict verification mechanisms) and that the deal would inevitably fail to constrain Iran.

That latter claim proved completely false for a time, as Iran continued to abide by it. Now Iran is suggesting it will restart its programs, but this is coming after the United States pulled out of the deal that was successfully constraining it, compounding the folly of Trump’s decision....

And yes the asshole apparently said he was going to make IRAN great again! Do they get hats?

During a rambling back and forth with White House reporters before he took off for Camp David, Donald Trump boasted that his ultimate goal for Iran — providing he doesn’t launch a military attack against the country and “obliterate” it — is to “Make Iran great again.”
