"... he wants to be remembered for destroying nuclear facilities. But it means the next President will be faced with the same challenge.”

Next President? That's positive thinking.

@heidilifeldman I don’t think China, Russia or North Korea etc will be too comfortable about any of this: add in Arabic countries that Trump recently visited and apparently made deals with - a plane in exchange for a massive hotel/golf complex. Will they still want his toxic brand around their countries? Trump changes his mind in a moment. He talked of two weeks, but bombed Iran overnight with no Congressional authorisation. The background influences of Thiel, Bannon, Blair, Mandelson must be considered also.

@HarriettMB @heidilifeldman He is still giving money to Billionaires and illegally, rounding up people, they want out of the country. Making bombs is a money maker. The list is long for this unfortunate toxic situation.

@heidilifeldman Indeed.
"The combination of Netanyahu’s persistence and Khamenei’s defiance transformed Trump from a self-proclaimed peacemaker to a warmonger.”

@heidilifeldman Thanks for sharing. My reaction? Enough of wobbly old men (both in Iran and U.S.) theirs is 86 and America has a psychopath. Put them into a rest home. Take whatever victory you may assume, use some bunker busters to take out Putin and the world will be better for it.
