Trump Declares Iran's Guard a Terrorist Organization

[RandySF]

President Trump designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps a “foreign terrorist organization” as part of an effort to increase international pressure on the country, the AP reports.

“It’s an unprecedented move because the U.S. has never before used the designation for an entire foreign government entity.”

Washington Post: “The designation of the Revolutionary Guards Corps marks the first time Washington has branded a foreign military a terrorist group. While the designation will have little immediate impact, it runs counter to warnings from U.S. military and intelligence officials that other nations could use the designation as a precedent against U.S. action abroad.”

1. What reporter has the guts to ask him about,

Ivanka's tower in Baku, Azebaijan that laundered money to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard?

3. The New Yorker, "Donald Trump's Worst Deal."

The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

It was built to launder money for oligarchs & the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

2. The manure is about to hit the westinghouse!

He's going to war.. to sidetrack the tax returns and the Mueller and that he is going to separate families again at the border..

5. Would be a horrible move, politcally.

Nobody wants the US to start another war in the Middle East. Not Democrats, not independents, not even his Republican base.

6. I have no way of knowing this..but just looking at his past

reactions and moves.. I think he would do that.. because he does not care about what is best for the country.. He just does not care... and you are so right... it would be a horrible move.. but that has never stopped him yet.. there is something amiss, seriously amiss with him..

4. Stoking the fires of war right in front of us...

The question is will there be enough folks to stand against this, or will they just shrug and move on like this is no big deal.

7. The Trump administration is beginning to look like a terrorist organization.

8. Then what is the US army?

These fucking people are crazy - they think they own this planet

10. The U.S. Army is nothing like the Iranian Guard....by any metric

9. Change the subject to get the media off the mueller report and tax returns

I doubt the military is up for a vanity war. Plus I bet Bolton is whispering in his ear, a war will help you get re-elected. We did it for Bush we can do it for you. Something tells me Iran is not going to take the bait.
