The maximalist aims of the joint attack cast doubt on whether there had ever been any prospect of success for the US-Iranian negotiations in the preceding weeks, in which delegates discussed possible limits on uranium enrichment. Those talks, the latest round on Thursday, had been conducted under the shadow of what Trump called his “beautiful armada” gathering in the Middle East, the biggest US force in the region since the ill-fated 2003 Iraq invasion, and it now seems likely that only a complete capitulation on Iran’s part could stop this assembled American might being unleashed.

    It is not entirely clear what transformed Trump from a peace president to a war president, but there are clues.

    He was never a peace president.

    Also this kid loves regime changes, maybe he should get one he’ll never forget.

      Right? He’s never said the truth (except accidental slips of his true plans), fuck the complicit media. Were cooked cause we don’t have any honest sources of news any longer, and that was fully and 100% intentional by the ruling class.

        There are still a few with journalistic integrity out there but nothing from a multinational news corp that’s for sure.
