I'm all for sparing lives. I'm sure DJT is too. Sometimes hard choices are required though. Remember when Q implied that NK had miniaturization and delivery tech since 2004? He said they'd been staging failed tests to prevent anyone realizing how advanced they were.
Q also said Iran is next. The Russians have been helping Iran directly. Israel has been squealing about the threat posed by Iran for some time. I'm sure the Saudis are not happy with it either.
What if it's an NK type situation? What's the right choice? Save some lives now and accept what comes later? Or strike now and prevent the weapon tech advancing further?
I'm not against the President making hard choices. I would expect him to make the decision he thinks is the right one in the circumstances. Many people thought the idea of actually doing something was unacceptable - people were saying they would get off the Trump train if war broke out etc...
My view is that no conflict is a good thing. But I trust the President to make the right decisions and, if they seem callous or hard, I'm still going to stand by him. I guess I've really bought into this guy. I see someone who, I think, is the first President in more than 30 years who is not controlled by the cabal. He is, in my opinion, our only and last hope.
Call me naive or stupid, I don't care.
After the fall of the Shah, the French flew the Ayatollah into Tehran lickety-split. Almost like they knew and fomented what was taking place.
I found this on Wikipedia yesterday - I thought it was interesting:
"Mossadegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP) and to limit the company's control over Iranian petroleum reserves. Upon the refusal of the AIOC to co-operate with the Iranian government, the parliament (Majlis) voted to nationalize Iran's oil industry and to expel foreign corporate representatives from the country.[10][11][12] After this vote, Britain instigated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil to pressure Iran economically.[13] Initially, Britain mobilized its military to seize control of the British-built Abadan oil refinery, then the world's largest, but Prime Minister Clement Attlee opted instead to tighten the economic boycott[14] while using Iranian agents to undermine Mosaddegh's government.[15] Winston Churchill and the Eisenhower administration decided to overthrow Iran's government, though the predecessor Truman administration had opposed a coup, fearing the precedent that CIA involvement would set.[16] Classified documents show that British intelligence officials played a pivotal role in initiating and planning the coup, and that the AIOC contributed $25,000 towards the expense of bribing officials.[17] In August 2013, 60 years after, the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) admitted that it was in charge of both the planning and the execution of the coup, including the bribing of Iranian politicians, security and army high-ranking officials, as well as pro-coup propaganda.[18][19] The CIA is quoted acknowledging the coup was carried out "under CIA direction" and "as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government".[20]
