There was a heavily overcrewed Navy EP-3 ghosting the drone as it veered into Iranian airspace.

It was clearly set up as bait.

Iran took the drone and left the EP-3

That move by Iran saved Trump from getting pushed into the Neocon war trap.

He should be praising them.

Praising for them for their "good will" really sends out the wrong message right now.

They are bad actors on the world stage and it doesn't help.

It's like the way too friendly language used with Little Kim.

Inappropriate in the situation.

Or do I need to brush up on my rationalization skills again?

Trump recognizes that he's being pushed to war. He also recognizes that any full scale hot endeavor would tip the already teetering political-socio-economic environment much more quickly into the chaotic abyss. He simply doesn't want that to happen on his watch, which would taint the brand name for eternity.

I don't often praise the guy, but I do understand the flaming tightrope he's trying to walk.

President Donald Trump in a new interview minimized Iran's shooting down of U.S. drones over international waters, saying there was 'nobody in it.'

Trump made the comment while defending his broader Middle East policy after being blasted by members of both parties for ordering a hasty pull-out from Syria and being accused of abandoning the allied Kurds.

Fox News host Sean Hannity told the president he was 'was surprised' he didn't hit Iran after a June attack on a U.S. drone. Iran shot down a Global Hawk drone over what the Pentagon said were international waters, calling it an 'intruding American spy drone.'

'We have a lot of good will built up. They took down a drone, there was nobody in it. They took down a second drone, there was nobody in it. There’s a lot of good will,' Trump told his interviewer.
