It’s easy to start new wars; it’s much harder to end them. Former real estate man, Trump who has constantly
pushed against constraints on presidential power at home sent US forces to war without
acquiring the consent of Congress or properly preparing the American people, and after declining to enlist allies. On Thursday, he said he’d make a decision on what to do about Iran
within two weeks — but in the end, he shot from the hip in his, "Ready, fire, aim', fashion..
The president did NOT present evidence on his claims that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear weapon to the public or to the rest of the world. And he repeatedly dismissed assessments from HIS OWN intelligence community that Iran was
still years away from a weapon.
The risk now is that the Iranian regime responds by attacking US forces, targets or civilians in the region and the conflict escalates into a full-scale war. An angry, old man real estate developer who wears silly red baseball caps that say MAGA, can't climb the stairs on his jet without falling, hawks Bibles printed in China, hawks gold high-top sneakers, has sex with Playmates and pornstars and brags about grabbing women by the pussy has just made a huge wager on global security. He has no way of knowing how the consequences will play out. He clearly doesn't care - it's all for him.
And those who voted for him will actually say they 'had no choice'.
