Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, President Trump bragged about his efforts to try to get the US “out of wars,” then warned that “we may have to get in wars, too. OK?“
Trump continued on talking about how ready the US is for a war with Iran, and how Iran will get hit “like they’ve never been hit before.” The implication is clear that Trump is nominally ending wars, but that America’s hawks will get fresh, new wars to replace them.
That’s likely a rather cynical political ploy, given how much political heat the administration is under for appearing to almost end the Syrian War. That war may not be ending, but offering to trade it for a much bigger Iran War would probably placate many critics.
It’s likely also related to Trump’s interest in portraying himself as generally tough and the best at war. That, and his fondness for threatening Iran with unprecedented horrors seem destined to keep threatening an Iran War forever a possibility.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all of this is, while Trump clearly elaborated in talking about Iran, he said “wars,” which suggests he may be envisioning multiple new military conflicts on the horizon.
But Trump did also say “wars” in the part where he was ending them, suggesting that in addition to Syria, a war which he isn’t ending by any stretch of the imagination, he may be going to do something that appears to end another extent conflict.
“… given how much political heat the administration is under for appearing to almost end the Syrian War. That war may not be ending, but offering to trade it for a much bigger Iran War ”
That has been the blatantly obvious # 1 goal all along.
Hardly an earthshattering revelation.
“It’s likely also related to Trump’s interest in portraying himself as generally tough and the best at war.”
Tough as a creampuff, that sorry @ss jewbitch… probably never thrown a punch in his entire life.
Well… maybe at a woman, who likely wouldn’t hit back.
“Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all of this is, while Trump clearly elaborated in talking about Iran, he said “wars,” which suggests he may be envisioning multiple new military conflicts on the horizon.”
True that.
World wars are NEVER fought between just two countries.
Well the war right here, what orther countries will war with the American peolpe?
NATO, possibly… if the stinking jews decide to send them (they’ll go, if ordered… this we know).
But then, that’s not exactly a country, is it.
A bunch of billionaires own stock in war monger companies, have big yacht, private jet, and helicopter bills. Let’s not forget the Ferrari payments.
Trumps wife costs 5000.00 a day…and that’s just so she will look at him. Doin the beach blanket bingo? Forgettaboutit.
Ummmmm….’Syrian war’?
I’m sorry. I thought it was a GWOT; global war on terror. AND I thought it was a Syrian ‘civil war’.
Does no one ever ask these questions?
Guess **cking not

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, yesssssssss. Mr. Different. Mr. Outsider…..
End the wars, end the Fed, 2nd restored, build the wall, drain the swamp, truth of 9/11….
‘Thank GOD for Trump!’. See it EVERY DAY.
You all do realize this country is doomed, right? Maybe like 1% is awake? Revolution? How many people would you have to fight just to GET to a revolution? People are SOOOOO dependent, so plugged into the system, they will fight you TO KEEP IT AS IT IS.
Oh, yea. I’d post on Anti-War, but I’m banned. For being anti-war.
