Is Trump playing chicken with Iran or is he a chicken?

That is a 50/50 question! He talks a big game of threats, but behind closed doors he cowers to the pressure of looking bad! If we go to war, he will look bad to other leaders, but if he threatens Iran? His base likes it! Nevertheless, we can't afford to lose men and women to another war that should have could have been avoided!

WE are the ones making unverified claims that we have been attacked.
WE both have asshole leaders.

What could go wrong?
