Insiders Reveal 'Fed Up' Trump Dangerously Close to Unleashing Major War

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran that could kick off with an attack against the Middle Eastern country any day now, according to a report.

Sources told Axios the erratic 79-year-old president is growing weary of the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran and could follow through with his threats to launch a wide-scale military operation.

Trump, who is desperate to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, had previously threatened to attack Iran amid a government-led crackdown in which thousands of protesters were killed during pro-democracy demonstrations. While these protests have largely dwindled, the president is allegedly still growing frustrated at the stalled negotiations to persuade Tehran to curb its nuclear program.

“The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90 percent chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks,” one Trump adviser told Axios.

Another war started by a chickenhawk

[Bluestocking]

1. It will make Israel happy

[DavidDvorkin]

8. It will make a lot of the Iranian protestors happy

They've been calling for this all along.

[LudwigPastorius]

12. I bet the protestors that are "collaterally damaged" won't be very happy.

They'll just be maimed and dead.

2. So the guy who is desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize

thinks he will get it by starting a war? How does that work?

3. Up is down

Black is white

War is peace

[BeyondGeography]

4. It's just his way of screaming you never loved me

We need to show some sensitivity and understanding here.

[synni]

5. He's getting desperate to create ever-larger distractions

But those files aren't going away.

6. Too bad, some idiot blew up the nuclear agreement signd by Obama and Iran.

[Mme. Defarge]

7. Another Republican administration war.

Why am I not surprised?

[Zorro]

9. It's either Iran or Cuba

Maybe both.

In his feral mind Trump is calculating that voters this November will support him and his endorsed candidates because it would be traitorous otherwise to vote against a "wartime" President.

10. Does not Iran have a formidable military?

According to my friendly, too friendly ai geegle, their military strength is in the top 20.

11. MaddowBlog-Whether Americans are ready or not, Trump inches U.S. closer to a war in Iran

I have some bad news for voters who assumed Trump would reject military adventurism and ignore the calls for foreign interventionism.

In 2013, Trump tweeted, “Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.” He added, “Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly — not skilled!”

In 2012, he added that Obama would hit Iran because his "poll numbers are in a tailspin.”

Yeah, about that...

In September 2013, amid concerns about a possible U.S. confrontation with Iran, Donald Trump published a tweet that read, “Remember what I previously said — Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.” The Republican added, two months later, “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly — not skilled!”.....

Axios published a striking report this week that noted the growing body of evidence that suggests a war with Iran is “imminent.” The report added, “A U.S. military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela.”

A day later, The Wall Street Journal reported:

The U.S. is sending significant numbers of jet fighters and support aircraft to the Middle East, assembling the greatest amount of air power in the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. […]

Over the past few days, the U.S. has continued to move cutting-edge F-35 and F-22 jet fighters toward the Middle East, according to flight-tracking data and a U.S. official. A second aircraft carrier loaded with attack and electronic-warfare planes is on the way. Command-and-control aircraft, which are vital for orchestrating large air campaigns, are inbound. And critical air defenses have been deployed to the region in recent weeks.

.....On Friday, for example, a reporter asked Trump what the U.S. would even target if, as the president has claimed, Iran’s nuclear program has already been “obliterated.” Trump replied, “You could get whatever the dust is down there.”

Five days later, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt why a military strike in Iran might be necessary. She replied that there are “many reasons and arguments that one could make.”

Q: "Can you share a little bit about…why a strike might be necessary on a nuclear program he said was 'obliterated' by the last U.S. strike?"

Leavitt: "There's many reasons and arguments one could make for a strike against Iran.”

.....In the 2024 race, many voters saw Trump’s entire vision as rooted in foreign policy restraint. He was, these voters believed, the candidate who’d reject military adventurism and ignore the calls of those who embrace foreign interventionism.

I have some bad news for those Americans.
