The US has destroyed most of Iran's planes and military vessels. What is more interesting is that we [edit: looking some stuff up about this, I get US meddings mixed up sometimes. The more general point is that the US has 'been involved' they don't just 'hate us for our freedom' as W would say. ]

I think Iran knew this would happen and they don't seem hindered much by having the old tools of war gone. They have been expecting this. And this seems to confound our president.

And what has this got to do with me or you if you are in the US too? He'll send the kids in our army there to die or be injured. He'll waste our money, burning and blowing it up... all while making us less safe every single day. He doesn't know how to negotiate. Only how to make threats.

If the US makes threats we get threatened right back.

He thinks because we have the bigger army we automatically "win" so much so that he thinks they should just not even fight back. Just give the US whatever it wants.

Because that's what *he'd* do were he the weaker party in a war. Not everyone is a coward. I don't even think most Americans are. But this president?

I have nothing but contempt for bullies, but the kind of bully who makes threats and then doesn't follow through on them? IDK. I'm glad in a practical sense that his words have so little weight and respect. I do not challenge him to learn to never make a threat you won't live up to. I guess he doesn't understand how weak and clownish that makes the US look?

Like... I'm not someone who hugs and cries over the flag but it's humiliating for America.
