War with Iran - DEFCON 3

[frank ryan]

Both sides have quite a few cards which is why Iran didn't cave. The US has more cards, but I think we will have to ante up and escalate with ground troops to force Iran to submit to our terms. Trump doesn't hold all the cards. Congress would need to be onboard as well. And the US would have a much stronger hand by building a coalition with allies.

It's what we get when have a President and cult of personality who finds it to mock reliable allies with treats of invasion to the point the even war game about how to resist us.

We've got a drunk frat boy with a Dept of "War." He keeps going around like a madman making unneeded changes that are rarely helpful and often harmful.


Our intelligence apparatus is also severely damaged. I wonder if the five eyes still functions.

I think we've crossed the Rubicon. My primary worry with Trump was always national security. It was always NATO being sabotaged and our intelligence services being kneecapped and Russia gaining the advantage.
