Trump wants to strike iran ?

Cool Story

"He asked for options. They gave him the scenarios and he ultimately decided not to go forward,"
 
yes , it appears he is running out of options .

iran was a great deal - cancel the nuclear deal and bluff them . unfortunetly they did not bite the bluff and are now 12 times more enrichment material they were before cancelling . amazing work

Yawn....cuzz they weren't enriching uranium before.
 
So at the end of the day Donald Trump is still the only president in our lifetime that has not started a war or a skirmish involving the military of any kind.

How many more would have died had BIDEN been in office and not enacted the travel bans that TRUMP did? Remember - this was estimated to kill 2 million and if we did EVERYTHING right, only about 200,000....

The "bans" should be more properly referred to as "restrictions" as they did not stop travel completely from China. In fact, tens of thousands of travelers continued to arrive from China and screening and quarantine measures were poorly executed. Restrictions on the rest of the world weren't put in place for another six weeks after the U.S. was in extremis so plenty of infections were brought in that way.
Here's Snopes' take:
Did Trump Ban All Travel From China at the Start of the Pandemic?
Trump credits an early 2020 ban on travelers from mainland China as his signature move to tackle the pandemic.

I think it's true that President Trump was criticized for the restrictions as then-current orthodoxy was that travel restrictions did more harm than good. But, this was by Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi but there is no evidence that President-elect Biden joined in on that.

a tweet Biden posted Feb. 1, the day after the Trump administration announced travel restrictions on people who were in China 14 days prior to their attempted entry into the United States.

Biden tweeted: “We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.

His tweet reflects coronavirus remarks he made during a campaign stop in Iowa Jan. 31, the day the travel restrictions were announced.

Biden said: “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia, and fear-mongering to lead the way instead of science.”

--------------------------

During a March 12 press conference Biden said, the United States should not be overly dismissive of the outbreak, “but neither should we panic or fall back on xenophobia

On March 18, Trump tweeted: “I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the ‘borders’ from China - against the wishes of almost all. Many lives were saved. The Fake News new narrative is disgraceful & false!”

Biden replied the same day: “Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job.

Nice deflection. Nowhere in the quotes does President-elect Biden criticize the China travel restrictions, just xenophobia. Seems to me the logic for damning Biden on this is the same as that used to condemn Trump for saying that the virus was a hoax. He didn't say it.
 
Meanwhile Trump didn’t bomb Iran.....
 
Agreed - Germany, knock yourself out and pay your NATO bill, cheap skates.

Sorry, Iran exists only because we allow them too. Carter should have taken them out in 1979. They caved to Reagan who was going to take them out.

o_OI suppose ‘Big balls’ is giving Iran $150billion, in cash, at night, in an unmarked plane.

..and yet, our current sanctions has them starving.

Tell Merkel to pay her NATO bills.
 
Remember when Iran shot down one of our drones and the Democrats we’re going apoplectic about us getting into WWIII? LOL.....
