Trump won't do shite. This is one of his most obvious bluffs I've seen.

Blowing up bridges and power plants does very little if anything to accomplish the goals Trump has set out. The current situation on the Strait of Hormuz and hidden enriched uranium, will not change whether he goes through with it or not. It will only make Iran dig in further and cause the population to suffer.

He stands to lose far more than gain and he's not that stupid.

I think he is mainly just trolling the Liberals and making them cry. He finds it amusing.

Yeah there is no way he blows up power plants. Can't wait to come back and tell idiots here that I told you so.

If everyone understands that it is hyperbolic what’s the point? That’s not even a rhetorical question I truly don’t understand

Take away people’s basic necessities for survival and they are forced to revolt against the establishment. That’s what the goal is.

I don’t like making innocent people suffer but taking out bridges and power plants would be a violent shove into an Iranian revolution to overthrow those in power. Which is what Trump wants.

You have to expect that it will galvanize the population. But in what direction?

In other words… What percentage become radicalized towards terrorism as a result?

They would be doing the exact same thing that led them to this point. Iranians aren’t dumb. They may hate the US but they would first attack the people who led to this happening

This is where you lost the point.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect our leader to act presidential. He is an utter embarrassment. Trolling is for bots and high schoolers- not leaders of a nation. However, I realize the trolling is a big lore for his uneducated, small-minded voters.

I'd invite you to watch is press conference yesterday. He spoke to this. He clearly stated he no longer expects the Iranian people to revolt. He talked at length about it actually and said he doesn't blame them. They have no weapons.

Crowing about Trump bluffing and making empty promises seems like an odd brag.

Or he actually gets 5… and just calls it 20.

And anyone saying he got 5 is a traitor spouting fake news.

Sharing opinions on an opinionated forum. I can see it's hard for you to grasp that.

You sir are not a good judge of character. I assure you ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE tonight.

I think the most likely event will be that the IRANIAN leaders will show a bit of progress in negotiations, and President Trump will tell them 24 more hours to sign OR ELSE. But, believe me, as the old song goes YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET! Uber successful business people like President Trump don't get where they are by bluffing. If anything, he will strike them EARLY and say there was no progress made in the past 2 or 3 days. Someone like President Trump wants to maintain the initiative and keep their opponent off balance.

Its a diversion as in getting the regime to defend the wrong places.

All those civilians lining up on bridges... that's the safest place to be right now.
