Related tweet in response to Iran mining the strait:
If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY! If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before. If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction! Additionally, we are using the same Technology and Missile capabilities deployed against Drug Traffickers to permanently eliminate any boat or ship attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait. They will be dealt with quickly and violently. BEWARE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
What are you going to do? Start an unnecessary war of aggression against them?
Genuinely don’t know how this ends without either the US or Israel doing a nuclear strike purely out of spite.
In typical Trump fashion, it would be replacing a problem with a much bigger problem.
“Iran is very pissed and wants my head” becomes “All of Iran’s neighbors are pissed over the nuclear fallout and the Iranians that survived want to kill every American they can find”.
In my opinion, there is a way to stop this cold. It requires us all.to thoroughly clean house in the midterms as a first step. Unfortunately, 41% of Americans have a favorable view of Trump’s actions in Iran.
That’s not how gerrymandered districts are designed to work.
You can do one party or the other, but never both
It ends when more people find out how much sunshine costs in China.
