Anonymous Coward User ID: 73848670 Canada 05/16/2019 09:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump is particularly frustrated with National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to the Post, both of whom have taken hardline stances against Iran. Quoting: $$$ 77642902 “They are getting way out ahead of themselves, and Trump is annoyed,” a senior administration official told the newspaper. “There was a scramble for Bolton and Pompeo and others to get on the same page.” The official said Bolton, who has advocated for regime change in Tehran in the past, is “just in a different place” from Trump, who too has been a vocal Iran critic. Trump “wants to talk to the Iranians; he wants a deal” and is open to negotiation with the Iranian government, the official added. Trump understands what is at stake. |

President Trump, unlike Obama, doesn’t surround himself with yes men. He hears all sides and makes a decision. I’m not sure why the left has such a hard time comprehending diversity. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77619248 Actually Trump fired all the generals and hired yes men This is why all the generals got fired and the old bush 911 put back in power |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77622026 Canada 05/16/2019 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran is just like North Korea in that Iran will refuse to give up their nuclear weapons ambitions and their hostility towards Israel. Iran will just cheat on any agreement reached just like North Korea does. Iran's word is mud so I don't know what kind of honest agreement you are going to get from Islamic extremists. They smile to your face and stab you in the back as soon as your back is turned. Trump still hasn't reached any agreement with North Korea and probably never will. All he has done is kicked the can down the road like previous administrations and temporarily de-escalated tensions which now have flared up again with Kim shooting off some missiles. All Trump is doing is avoiding the problem at all costs and kicking the can some more down the road. Both Iran and North Korea will be trouble in the future even if Trump manages to cut an agreement with them which they won't honor. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77622026 Canada 05/16/2019 09:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump has only three options 1)Give up and let Iran do what ever the hell they want 2) Keep Iran in check with sanctions, useless agreements that are not honored by Iran and periodically using the military to intimidate Iran into shutting its yap temporarily. 3) Go to war and have regime change. My bet he will continue with option #2 |

Old Custer User ID: 66177791 United States 05/16/2019 10:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes when your being disrespected over and over you have to pound someone to make an example. Russia does this quickly and nobody 'mistakes their kindness for weakness'. The problem is at this point in international affairs nobody think the US has the stomach for a costly conflict. All it would take is for the USA to literally destroy a country and the rest of the world would shut their mouths and we would have peace. we would have peace on the Korean peninsula. The issue is this. The US has become the default boogeyman for governments all over the world, even our 'allies'. No matter what we do its our fault things are bad, wherever. We prop up China, they still hate us. We defend Europe at our expense, they still hate us. Our relationship with the world is the exact same relationship western men have with western women. We've given them enough freedom to despise us. But they still want all the perks of the relationship. I am literally at the point of saying level Tehran and all military installations. No 'nation building'. Make an example of Iran to get some respect back for the sake of world peace. Too many fuckers dancing around the bear and poking it. Too much chaos. We need beat someone bloody and ask who else wants to bitch. The world has a weak leadership problem. |
