Is war with Iran coming next? Now that Trump has dumped the Iran deal, he may seek regime change
Will Trump be satisfied with scuttling Barack Obama’s Iran deal? Because John Bolton and Mike Pompeo want war

Back in August of 2015, Donald Trump told Chuck Todd of "Meet the Press" that Iran is "going to be such a wealthy, such a powerful nation. They are going to have nuclear weapons. They are going to take over parts of the world that you wouldn't believe. And I think it's going to lead to nuclear holocaust.” However, he also said that as president he would not violate the nonproliferation agreement because “it's very hard to say, ‘We're ripping it up.’”

Despite his feeble protestations early on not "just tearing up" the Iran deal, it's obvious that he's been dying to do it for quite some time, if only to complete his primary task: Erasing Barack Obama's legacy. This deal was Obama's biggest foreign policy achievement, so naturally it had to go. Furthermore, Trump had managed to fire virtually everyone who had argued in favor of America keeping its word and is back to being advised by Bolton, the man he always liked on "the shows."

Mind you, Bolton doesn't just want to tear up the Iran deal, he wants to set it aflame with a hellfire missile.

1. Frightening

From the article...

(2015) He was asked who he turns to for foreign policy advice and he famously replied, "Well, I watch the shows. You know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows and you have the generals.” When pressed to name someone specific, the first person he mentioned was Fox News analyst and former UN ambassador John Bolton.

We all laughed at his silliness back then. We aren't laughing now. President Trump announced on Tuesday that he was instructing the government to violate the Iran deal and reinstitute the economic sanctions (and add some more). He issued one of his patented bellicose threats, saying that despite the U.S. imposing renewed sanctions and tearing up the agreement, Iran is still expected to comply with its terms. He said that if the Iranian regime "continues its nuclear aspirations, it will have bigger problems than it has ever had before.” He didn't say he would rain down fire and fury but it was certainly implied.

2. Bolton and the Republican Party have been itching for a major conflict

with Iran for years. In Republicans little so called "Christian" minds, "Holy War" means regime change, besides money (oil).

3. I would not be surprised. Trump has no brain and Bolton lusts for wars. n/t

4. Another R with a neo-con cabinet?

A Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex flush with borrowed money?

Sunnis (the majority of Muslims) and the Jewish State 100% behind it?

The Dotard itching to take someone's oil?

5. Trump believes he needs a war to win the next elections

It seems we're in a race - Trump could start a war or end up in jail.
Let's hope the American people wise up.

6. I just do not believe we have the manpower for another war

Iran is a large country and we will not have the support of our allies unlike Iraq where we had some because of the 9/11 attack.
