So Trump has "approved" strikes and god know what else in Iran. Well seems to me knowing how this government is supposed to work, Congress has to be the one who declare war and approve this kind of action. But to the orange man, who craves to be a tough guy to cover up his inadequacies, thinking Netanyahu believes he is so powerful (craftily being led as a fool because he can be), killing people halfway around the world, provoking a giant, seems to be the ticket. No Republican will ever stand up to him and say, no, you cannot do this by law. Maddening as it gets today (but it is still early).
Most nuclear experts think the best we can do is set back the Iranian nuclear program months. Many political experts warn that not only is regime change difficult but that getting a successor regime that is pro-Israel or warmer to the West or anti-nuke is not guaranteed. They remind us that it was the Shah and not an ayatollah who launched the nuclear program.
Further, as we assess this, it should be remembered that Israel has not fought a major war against another nation state in over fifty years. Iran is a nation of 90 million people with 5000 years of history. If they choose to go to ground and fight a protracted war, it could become very difficult for Israel. Especially if U.S. public support grows weaker.
Most likely is that the U.S. agrees to use its bunker buster munitions to go after deeply buried Iranian nuclear targets (Fordow) in the hopes that the shock and awe (remember them?) push the Iranians to some kind of negotiated settlement. Why they would enter a deal with the U.S. or Israel, or any group of powers given the recent history of such deals remains a good and open question.
TRUMPS SUCKS when it comes to human beings or people; he hates people who are NOT WHITE!
I'm Just Saying; Maybe Trump and Miller Don’t Understand Americans as Well as They Think They Do.
THEY know how to get to MARS but can't find the wat back! These are not the immigrants to target! Peace loving people. Trump’s Agenda is a Loser
The result is a growing number of Americans who have turned against the White House out of anger and outrage over what they see as overreach. It is reminiscent of the transformation of those Americans who experienced, firsthand, the practical consequences of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. “We went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists,” the antislavery philanthropist Amos Adams Lawrence remarked after what was probably his first confrontation with the reality of the slave system the arrest and return of Anthony Burns to bondage.

Thank you for the great reporting on the G7 and Mark Carney’s impressive handling of the US embarrassment.
