Dyer: Trump's irrational action with Iran may hasten war

The extraordinary thing is that there is no Plan B. If Donald Trump’s re-imposition of American sanctions on Iran does not cause President Hassan Rouhani’s government to buckle at once (which is almost unimaginable), there is nothing else he can do short of going to war with the country. And he couldn’t even win that war.
...
Iran is a country the size of Alaska, two-thirds of it is mountain or desert, and it has 80 million people. Invading it would make the Vietnam war look like a tea party. So any ground fighting between Iran and its enemies would be more likely to happen in the countries between them: Syria and Iraq. And the most worrisome thing is that there are both Russian and American troops on the ground in these countries.

1. Not very bright but we knew t-rump, his administration and the

Republican lack morals, a soul, and intelligence.

But they love that money honey and don't care who get hurt.

2. Just draft trump voters kids first.

Elections has consequences. Just wanted the racism and status, but not actually have to own your vote. Sorry.

3. Remember when everybody knew that invading and occupying a major country was insane?

Especially in the Middle East. Then Bush did just that. And yes, it turned out exactly as badly as everyone knew it would. And, now we're saying Trump couldn't be so nuts as to attack Iran.

Yeah, right.

4. This is a Putin move to isolate Iran's

Oil our to the market in a attempt to raise the Barrel Price of Oil for Putin. If you have been following along with world events. You would know that Putin in in deep doo doo money wise and stories appearing in European press,are telling a story of mega problems dealing with the Pensioners of Russia. No money,big time Riots. Russian Military is in major ugly shape.

Kiddies,it is once again all about Oil and the Saudi's and Russians are running their Puppet Donald Trump.
