Does Trump know what he is doing in Iran, and what happened to his "no more wars"?

Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face, that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand, the ultimatum. And what then, when the Ayatollah has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Iran's decades long Jihad, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Islam than dead," or as one commentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and Islamic slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin - just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our Iranian enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this - this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits - not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of Islamic darkness.

the war have been planed for so many decade so I think even if he don' really know what he's doing the professional does like he's not alone to decide everything there's people around

Anyone on the right that wants to claim they didn't see this coming will get bitch slapped by my big purple headed yogurt slinger. No more pointles wars and this isn't pointless at all, it almost happened in his first term (I didn't see my wife [in the military] for over a year because of it). I voted for this... and this is wonderful.

He knows what he's doing... been talking about since the Clintons were in power.

1 Nope but he is correct to attack and let generals decide how. 2 trump said no STARTING wars. But responding to iran is not starting a new war. 3. Now that iran bombed neighbors, arranging a land coalition might be apt, leading to multinational management of iran until election is arranged like Afghanistan in 2005.

Liars can't help but fuck things up. It;s why Trump and Nentenyahu are such fuckups.

[Light_beam]

why do the American people allow them to do it?

[slatyb]

Trump never knows what he's doing -- he just acts on impulse.

[Light_beam]

Ahhhh.. that is sad

[slatyb]

It's far beyond sad, it's a tragedy for the world.

[Light_beam]
