Trump's own statement (which I guess I would not classify as reputable, but you know....)

“That would be the end. I’ve left instructions. If they do it, they get obliterated. There won’t be anything left.”


Did he actually say nukes or just obliterated? I would be surprised if he said nukes, but with him it is possible that he would say that.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

He said obliterated and nothing left. This implies nukes, nothing else would be able to obliterate Iran (it's too mountainous.)

Iran is attacking U.S. Army bases in Qatar.


Now the fun begins, our air force and navy will have fun hunting down the launchers and eliminating them.

I do not agree with your hypothesis, but I am happy he didn't say nuke.

Surprisingly, oil prices are still falling more than $3 as this is happening.

It takes something like 48-72 hours for oil prices to be effected. My guess by Thursday-Saturday or thereabouts, it will be a much different story.

Uh, didn't we bomb 48-72 hours ago?

Only to low-IQ types who take his words literally. Same ones who thought they were supposed to drink bleach when he hypothesized about future treatments. Same ones who think Luke Skywalker will be a general in the Space Force.

Same ones who believe the 2020 election was stolen.

Same ones who trust the word of Putin over that of the CIA / NSA.

Same ones who think they look dapper in a red MAGA cap.

I know all of these idiots who take the words of a President literally... We should really take them as creative art...
