NYT: Trump Approves Strikes on Iran, but Then Abruptly Pulls Back
- Thread starter Halbrand
- Start date
Oh for fucks sake. The last thing we need is any kind of retaliatory bullshit for taking down an unmanned drone.
OP
OP
He's officially pissed off every neocon/Warhawk yet there he is still their president. I'm not complaining about no conflict but he's officially shit on everything the Republicans have stood for all because he doesn't want to anger Putin ahead of 2020. We are in some weird ass times.
You would think he would gladly do this so why pull back? Cannot wait to hear the details of how this went down.
I feel real bad for all the military members having to deal with this.
Not the 25 year career officers, but the "just joined to have a better life" kids who now have to deal with a higher op tempo and uncertainty about war.
Already seeing memes on fb.
Comedy is relief.
Don't know why trump didn't go through with it, but I'm glad they didn't.

This is America, where our technology alone is worth more than your foreign devil lives.
Fuck this country.
I don't believe that. He's a coward, has been all his life. He doesn't want to have to work, or deal with all the negative headlines a war will bring, or the cost which will harm any other agenda he has ("Infrastructure Week...").
Weird as it sounds, I genuinely don't think he wants to start a full blown war with Iran. He likes being hostile with them for the purposes of "getting a deal" and "looking tough", but it goes any further than that and it gets completely out of his control rather than mostly out of his control.
In fairness, he didn't really seem to know what a drone even was.
Here's s fact . Trump is very stubborn. He insists he won't go to war like Hillary did to Iraq but him going to war with Iran is literally the same thing to him so it's his ego stopping him. That's the irony, his overinflated ego is stopping start of a war from occurring not common sense
Also his base mostly hatesstarting a war because they went after Hillary for being a war hawk and trump will bring peace and negotiate
Iran is not Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc
If America actually tries to directly engage Iran they'll be brutalized
Of course he would.
Probably got a call from Poppa Putin telling him to back off.
Bullies love to talk and posture up, but never like to throw an actual punch.
Iran isn't Syria or some rebel hideout. It's a powerful and aggressive, nuclear country with the fervor of an outright theocracy. This is a lose-lose battle regardless of what Bolton peddles behind closed doors.
They don't even need a reason and really the only thing that has kept us off a conflict under 3 then 2 branches under the GOP is an idiot chicken shit draft dodger that's under Putin's control. Pretty crazy.
You noticed that too? I thought it was really odd how he was saying how no one was in the drone so no one got hurt.
Truly a stable genius.
I really don't get the idea that Trump is hesitant to go to war. Putin made it clear earlier today how he feels about the US attacking Iran. Trump likes his shows of force it makes his tiny Penis feel enlarged. The reality is an attack on Iran is not a shock and awe on Iraq or some other lesser power. Going in and Hitting Iran is going to require much better planning and the US better be prepared for possible retaliation.
There are like a dozen tweets like this.
It's nightmare fuel.
Yeah, I take this as Bolton is winning. Trump pulled back the strike at the last minute, but that still means that Bolton is getting closer to his final goal. I wouldn't be surprised if we get more "provocations" in the next week from Iran.
Probably. Trump saw his low poll numbers and realizes he looks weak.
