No, Trump isn't Going to Nuke Iran
Timothy Birdnow
If these people - especially those on the Right - don't understand Trump's way of speaking and of negotiating by now they never will get it. This is why we fail; too many on our side are just stupid.
Anyone who knows anything about Trump knows this is the way he negotiates; the carrot and the stick. As he's dealing with people who have accepted multiple deaths of their own people to cling to power Trump has to menace them.
Infowars isn't the only one saying this; I found stories in multiple Conservative sites warning Trump is insane and warning he's going to nuke Iran. Marjorie Taylor Green (who herself has gone mad) called for Trump to be removed based on the 25th Amendment, for instance.
Trump has read his Sun Tzu and he understands that unpredictability is a great strength. Trump makes himself unpredictable. And these kinds of threats are designed to force the Mullahs hands one way or another - thus Trump controls the action, choosing time and place and forcing the Mullahs to commit to a course of action and to stick their necks out long enough for him to take more of them out. Now they are all cowering in their bunkers - he is flushing them out with this.
Everyone who knows anything about Trump should understand that about him, but sadly so many still fail to grasp this simple fact.
I would add during WWII Roosevelt never promised to save the nations we were at war with; instead he promised to wipe them out. He did too; it took Germany decades to recover, even with the Marshall Plan. Ditto Japan, which was still largely in tact although we had firebombed Tokyo and blew up two cities with the first nuclear weapons.
But our modern tender sensibilities are such we recoil from even a bit of hyperbolic threat. What a bunch of weenies we've become!
No, Trump isn't going to nuke Iran. He doesn't have to; conventional weapons will knock them out just as easily.
I despair for America that so many are so foolish.
No, Trump isn't going to nuke Iran - he just wants them to think he is.

Indubitably, Tim. What I would like to see, though, is for him to nuke the DNC. Such an act would eliminate a large amount of our stupidity.
I was very surprised and sad at MTG's remarks. I had once thought her to be an intelligent lady. But what has happened to her just goes to prove what TDS does to even intelligent people. She should know better, but obviously does not.
Some time ago I read an analysis of Trump's negotiating style, business and otherwise: the author said that Trump begins by throwing a grenade onto the floor, and after it explodes, when the others come back into the room he starts negotiating seriously. This may be a standard New York City method, or it may be unique to Trump. Either way, I'd say it works quite well for him.
The fact that Trump's deadline today has come and gone and we haven't really seen anything happen (the supposed cease-fire and all that nonsense is, I believe, a smokescreen) does not, in my eyes, mean that Trump failed. I'll keep watching tomorrow and if I see Iran sending more missiles into Israel I hope to see Holy Hell break loose in Iran, courtesy of The Donald.

Excellent points all Dana. Yes, it very much is his way of negotiating. I've read that about him too.
And the fact the deadline came and went suggests he has been in contact with people inside Iran who are desperate for a deal - and probably made promises to him. Or he's biding his time because he sent them scrambling on high alert then didn't show up. That too is a wonderful military tactic that Trump is employing to throw off the Iranian's game.
I do hope Trump follows through if they remain recalcitrant. You can't make threats and not follow through n foreign affairs.

Something else that Trump is keeping in mind -- and that the left can't understand -- is that Iran right now doesn't have a functioning government, or at least one that can make the decisions necessary to properly handle a cease-fire. Which is all Trump is after here, not the end of the war.
