    It seems Democrats are irate because Trump didn't consult them about the war he didn't start.

    I’ve done nothing but give Trump credit in this thread. Who’s being hysterical here.

    Oh you should ignore the progressives. We need a bi-partisan foreign policy that is only debated at home. Kerry is wrong to deal unofficially with Iran overseas face-to-face. We need to speak softly & carry a big stick. No one cares about the middle east as we can get along without their oil. If the jihadis attack us, we should cause them catastrophic damage. I listen to the Democrats on foreign policy but they need a plan that is logical & they need to agree that what the military did to Iran was good and long overdue. Trump fired Bolton because Trump's foreign policy is pragmatic & not tied to previous policies of recent times. I myself think that it is time to let our allies build up their militaries and move out from underneath our umbrella.

    Yeah I’m a troll when the course of action I was rallying for all night was taken by Trump. Fantastic logic. It was so crazy what I was saying. I’m happy about the outcome despite the disappointment of the usual hawks.

    Do you really think that Trump is either impulsive or eratic or irresponsible?

    It’s virtually impossible to discuss anything with you. You never make any sense. Have I said that in here?

    But yeah, of course I do.

    Compared to the tweets I have seen by Nancy, Chuck, and Adam, and others media outlet, his is the model of calmness and rational thoughts!

    You must really be in love with yourself. You just can't disguise your hatred of Trump and you expect everyone to respect your hatred. Why don't you just answer the question. People like you are the reason that the Demos are going to lose the election because you can't discuss anything or answer a question.

    I myself don't read all his tweets and I don't consider that on the same level as drone strikes in retaliation for attacks on an embassy and I know that you don't either. I think that the tweets are his fireside chats, etc.

    Use of Time just got done praising Trump, saying he had the best day of his Presidency. He said he liked the outcome of the recent showdown with Iran. Then you describe that as "can't disguise your hatred of Trump."

    And he did answer your question, Do you really think that Trump is either impulsive or eratic or irresponsible?

    He said, "Of course I do."

    The difference between Trump tweeting and drone strikes is that thankfully there are checks and balances on military action. If Trump had the same freedom to order up drone strikes that he does in making tweets, we'd be in a lot of trouble by now, I fear.

    I love we’re not supposed to bring up Obama anymore and his many actual failures, yet Trump’s critics gripe continually about things that he might’ve done if given the chance. It is to laugh.

    I think it's fair to bring up Obama's failures. But it's unfair to defend something Trump has done (or not done) by bringing up Obama (or Hillary) as a defense. If Trump fails at something pointing out that Obama failed at something is not a defense.

    Yet here we are in this thread and the people that are complaining about what Trump might have done given a chance--take on Iran militarily--are his most ardent supporters.

    You make some good points. I myself do not want a war with Iran although I was very happy that we took out their top general at long last. We tried since Nine Eleven to persuade Islam to be more moderate and extend human rights in spite of the Quran but we failed and it is time to come home and end the endless wars. Before the Arabs got so rich from oil, we did not have so much trouble with them. The UK helped them throw off the yoke of the Ottoman Empire so we have done all that we can do. Islam is a closed book. We don't want to be like them and we can stop them from attacking us by promising them that we will immediately retaliate with much greater force than they have. If Canada would open up Alberta, then the demand for Middle East oil would sink even lower. Russia is not going to help Iran sell their oil because Russia has their own oil and natural gas to sell. Let China buy from Russia. Japan could buy from Alberta, Canada.

    Iran is a hugely destabilizing factor in the Mideast and is a major sponsor of worldwide terrorism that has killed countless victims. I do not blame people who think we’d be better off without them. I do not consider them worse Christians than anyone else.

    At some point Iran’s attacks on U.S. interests will have to be stopped. I think pulling all our assets out would help start that. But they’ve attacked plenty of neutral targets as well. Can’t win.

    I much prefer Trump’s method than team zero’s.

    I don’t even know what to do from here. I’ve not bashed Trump in here and I did answer your question.
