Trump is planning ISIS style terrorism.

This is everyone's nightmare.

WWIII, Armageddon? They think it will be the end of times and they’ll all be swept up to heaven while the rest of the world burns in hell. Or something like that. They obviously haven’t thought it through, only that they’ll get everything they want and the vast majority of people will suffer.

the essential problem with Trump's logic is that he assumes they care. In the Iran-Iraq war, Iran took over 1 million casualties as well as damage difficult to measure, and they just kept fighting. This Trumpian BS only sets the first strike bar higher. Iran has the weapons it needs to do massive damage quickly, time will tell if and how they intend to use them. I do not think we should be bluffing or bullying with these folks.

Not very smart from a military perspective.

I still remember the mass plundering of antiquities in Baghdad when we invaded.

I'm sure the American rw would like to erase as much of human history as possible.
