    1. Seriously? They were stupid enough to mine the gulf, seize ships, take American hostages, conduct suiscide bombings in Lebanon, bomb trucks in Saudie A, support 911 Hijackers, assassination attempts in DC; I cann that well beyond stupid. They did it.

    2. @Troy Stocker so basically if one of our allies attack another country with hardware we sold them, this make America a enabler of terrorism.

    1. Yes, it is… In a country where news outlets are lying to Americans… direct Tweets are the only source of real news.

    2. @Phoenix1969 That’s right, because Trump is always so honest when it comes to the truth right?
      Oh, hang on…

  1. If a war with Iran serves Trump’s personal ends that’s all that matters. Republicans who support and enable this pathetic vile man put the whole planet in danger.

  2. I heard it looked like attacks came from NW.??? Iran CAN NOT be this blatant. UN is the only source I can believe. This is world issue. Not for US. NOT for inept trump who might want to play war. DANGER!

  3. Please do you expect Trump to actually do something. He has lied to us so much it’s getting to the point it’s impossible to know whether he is tried telling the truth or not. I will only believe it if I see it and not take him up on his useless lying words.

    Trump is like the boy who cries wolf if you continue to cry wolf too much eventually no one’s going to listen to you or believe you.

  4. Iran just focus on finding technology for renewable energy. That will help bankrupting oil companies and save environment. No more war 🧐

  5. There is a famous line perhaps by Einstein: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”. What sane person imagines more sanction will have any effect.

  6. Yes, Trump’s good friend, MBS the murdering despot…
    Whatever. His own stupidity, ignorance, and corruption are no match for reality. He walked away from sanctions…. and the coalition …

  7. How do you “substantially increase sanctions”, when you already have “maximum sanctions” as he said a few weeks ago?

  8. Trumps outfit message. Today, Trump is wearing , unusually, a blue shirt and a plain blue tie. Peaceful outfit. Mike Pompeo is wearing a red tie , fighting tie? Just saying.

  9. Aggression by Saudi Arabia is far more substantial and worse than anything done by Iran. See Yemen. That’s Saudi Arabia’s fault.
