The time has come for our military to stand up.

I'm not talking coup, just say no. At Nuremberg, the defense of saying you were just following orders didn't fly. Trump isn't going to waste time with Iran. He's certainly not going to risk losing a war. He will use nukes.

Most of them turn out to be hyperbolic overreactions.

He will not use nukes on Iran. The real power on this planet doesn't want radioactive oil or a global energy crisis.

The Spice must flow!

Listen to yourself. Besides, I'm talking Trump. Always expect the worse from him.

Also, just what type of military engagement do you visualize? Boots on the ground? City to city combat? Trump will drop bombs, you can bet on it.
