I commented in a recent post that it was classic Trump stupidity and arrogance that got the United States involved with Israel in Bibi Netanyahu's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure,' and that it would be the same stupidity and arrogance that would prolong the crisis for the U.S. and damage America's standing in the world even further than the damage Drumpf has already inflicted upon it.
Case in point:
Link: Trump drops ominous threat as Iran talks fail: 'Now they will have to pay the price!' - Raw Story
"President Donald Trump boasted that Iran has been "completely defeated" as the U.S. trades strikes with the Middle Eastern nation.
U.S. Central Command announced Tuesday evening that it had conducted "self-defense strikes" in response to the downing of an Army helicopter the previous day, which prompted Trump to threaten a response, and he rejected Iran's claims that the strikes had disputed the diplomatic process by violating the ceasefire.
"Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess," Trump posted Wednesday morning on Truth Social. "Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore – They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!""
Yeah, sure Jan. "The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!"
Iran is so unmistakably dead that they shot a US Apache combat helicopter out of the sky over the Strait of Hormuz yesterday and seem to have no trouble matching Israel's missile bombardment strike for strike.
If that's the sign of a "DEAD!!!" bully, I'd sure hate to see what they consider to be a living bully.
The sad truth is that Iran has Drumpf's flabby, diapered ass hanging over a closed Strait of Hormuz barrel, and DonOld has very few options to choose from and the options that exist are all pretty awful options for America.
But this is what happens when you elect a fake "businessman" and failed reality TV "star" to the presidency and expect authentic, adult leadership.
Stupidity begets stupidity. It's not a complicated formula.
