Trump's saber-rattling with Iran is both reckless and dangerous. Iran has one of the most powerful armies in the world, and our going to war with them would be utter catastrophe -- not only for them but also for us.

You might notice we aren't going to war, although Iran is already waging war throughout the Mideast. The US is imposing crippling economic sanctions that limit Iran's ability to support wars and terrorism while making its government unpopular at home.

No, the sanctions are not making the government unpopular with the Iranian people; they're only making US unpopular with the Iranian people.

the last thing we humans need is more war. Let's not radicalize anti-US sentiment in Iranian youth who would like to join the new increasingly progresige and connected world . Love is the answer

The order did not come from Trump rather others in the administration in response to a threat on US troops abroad by Iran. They said they don’t want a war so it’s more of a precaution to protect the troops there

"Iran has one of the most powerful armies in the world" Really BAD stategy to announce that up front.

You don't need to worry about Iran. The minute Israel believes Iran has a nuclear weapon capable of reaching their country, they will unapologetically bomb that weapon out of existence.

This tweet was a bad idea, for so many reasons. If your goal is to make it to the big stage, this tweet pretty much guarantees you will not get there. Any President, Republican or Democrat would never make our armed forces sound this weak. Seriously, what were you thinking?

Exactly, he IS trying to provoke them. Thats the point. He needs a distraction. I work my tail off to get rid of this cancer.
