@AverageJoe1 saidYes, he cancelled the deal that had international inspections of Iran's nuclear program.
Ask Suzianne, she is the deepest into Trump’s mind.
Trump was already posting and speaking in intoabout Iran’s nuclear ambitions, often warning that Iran should not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. I would assume he was formulating his plans back then. Like my router, you wondered why he didn’t do it the first day in office . My granny says these things
He made I ...[text shortened]... things that will result in global prosperity. Imagine a world without a nation sworn to terrorism.
Because he's an idiot.
@no1marauder saidHe canceled that treaty because it had been negotiated under Obama's aegis, and Trump is determined to erase Obama's legacy.

@moonbus saidThat's too simplistic. Given how he invariably acts towards any country that doesn't bribe him or isn't run by Putin, he probably thought he could bully Iran into some more direct surrender.

He still seems to think so.
@AverageJoe1 saidNot nearly as bad as a rich piece of shiiit paying 5 times to a corrupt docter To get out of going to Vietnam.
Hey, shouldn’t Trump get in line with the faeries before him and be wearing a bomber flight jacket??
You can bet Newsome would be….. by god
@wildgrass saidWe agree I am not a happy with his speech either. If that is all your problem is, then we agree and we are on the same page. We have no problems other than than go Trump.
My problem is that America tuned in to hear trump explain the war effort but instead we got word vomit. America has to rely on what average Joe thinks the reasons are.
@no1marauder saidThere is another aspect to this war of choice, which is that Trump never does anything unless it profits himself directly. He is heavily invested in fossils; the markets react to his every pronouncement in the press or social media; there is evidence of massive insider trading going on, hours before he makes such a pronouncement; he and his biliousaire buddies are making huge profits from this.

@wildgrass saidTrump effectively decriminalized it by gutting the SEC's ability to investigate and prosecute.

@moonbus saidInsane. This maybe needs its own thread.

There's a joke about no one needing to pay taxes this year because no one works at the IRS anymore.
@wildgrass saidTrump does not view white collar crime as crime--for him, it's just business.
Insane. This maybe needs its own thread.

@wildgrass saidWho wrote the speech?
Trump gave a speech. Americans had been waiting for clear rationale explaining why we were at war. We didn't get that at all. The Atlantic magazine wrote an article titled "Maybe Trump Should Not Have Given This Speech"
Why? It was a garbled mess. It criticized allies. It put the onus of cleaning up the war on others who didn't want to make the mess in the first place. T ...[text shortened]... blic and the world.[/quote]
