Trump says he bombed Iran

[FlyersFan]

Preparing for an assault on their nation?

No one was threatening to wipe Iran off the map.
But Iran was threatening to wipe Israel off the map.
There was no assault on Iran coming.
The assaults were all one way ... Irans terrorist activities and threats.

"FT Exclusive: Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could 'bring down the economies of the world', predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel. https://ft.trib.al/EekmlhF"

They've been a threat since the IRGC takeover and it's been talked about for over 40 years, you just haven't been paying attention. I get that you don't like it and don't want the economic impact I just don't think the people in charge care, I know I don't care because the ends justify the means or in simple terms the juice is worth the squeeze. BTW so it's not a surprise Cuba is probably next so get those crocodile tears ready for that.

That’s because the donor class profits from all of this.

The average American will have inflation all while we rack up the national debt.

I have been paying attention, Iran has been a toxic political subject since Iraq. Every politician who’s won has said they won’t tough it. But the Neo Cons have wanted this since 2003.

You can be as confident as you want when you say we’re crippling China, and setting ourselves up for manufacturing. Data shows otherwise, go look up the numbers. Let’s say we get some manufacturing back, and start exporting 1 Trillion dollars a year in more goods, we’re currently running a 2t+ deficit yearly. The tax on 1t in extra profit wouldn’t even touch that.

There is no plan. This is going to be obvious in hindsight when we can tally up both terms. A third of federal debt under his two terms are best case scenario, we’re already at 25%.

None of this is helping. And most Americans don’t care about Iran.

Depending on how long it lasts .. yep.

America and the west gave the power to China by exporting all their manufacturing there for more profit in the first place.

America also helped create the Iranian regime in the first place, something America has also done in it's own back yard and never thinks of the long term consequences of it's quick fixes.

And in 1979 when they had the hostages we should have never negotiated and wiped them out then. If you give a terrorist a cookie it's going to want milk, if smash it with a hammer it doesn't come back.

And yes the neocons sold us out to China and now we are taking it back.

I want to know about the money Obama sent them a few years back

Those were a mix of Iranian funds we froze. That was part of the negotiations for the nuclear deal.

Removing sanctions were part of the talks this time around too, very similar to releasing frozen funds.

Obama was a horrible president, there are 1,000 ways we can prove this. That one didn’t really seem like a big deal, any negotiations would involve unfreezing assets and or lifting sanctions.

No disrespect but You seem to have a child's view of the world.

None taken, I don't discount your warnings or the professional opinions on the matter. I just see the same things constantly being push about this approach we have taken, and every time the professionals were wrong and it works out even better than expected. Is it luck? idk, but I'm down with it and it's not like I have much if any control over it so mostly I just live my life and enjoy what I got. I don't like the way things have been ran I like how Trump is running things he might be an ass hat again I don't know him, but it's working for me.

No. Iran has been threatened by the USA and Israel since 9/11. Iran where last on the list of Middle East nations to invade as part of the Greater Israel project, their time has come. They have been preparing for it, got good relations with Russia and China. Iran does have a nuclear defense treaty with Russia as part of the non nuclear proliferation treaty.

You keep making really confident proclamations like:

“I just see the same things constantly being push about this approach we have taken, and every time the professionals were wrong and it works out even better than expected.” or “Chinas economy is crippled”… but you don’t provide any examples or data to back up the claims. 

Give us an example of one of some of the things that work better than expected, or how China is crippled.
