Does anyone doubt Trump would grab that offer?

This is literally the kind of situation the Founders designed the Impeachment Clause to prevent. https://history.com/news/foreign-influence-constitution-founding-fathers…

Israeli and Arab media reports that Saudi and Israel are pressuring Trump to strike Iran before he leaves office. Completely disregarding US interest and the wellbeing of the American people.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like this?

1. Pretty sure they already did so...before Trump was elected.

2. Yes, I Doubt It

One leak and there's full scale war in the Middle East. Saudis would get pummeled.
I'm not willing to blame the Saudis, as bad as they are, for the terribly stupid stuff trump may do.

3. Didn't he just sell 750 Billion worth of fighter bombers or something to the Saudis?????

Or is this not finalized yet....

4. Trump's debts would be chump change for the Saudis.

At this point, I don't know if our military would carry out a strike on Iran unless the Congress declared war. No one with any brains wants to go down swinging for the loser in chief.

The Iranians aren't likely to provoke the madman in the White House in his last three weeks in office and the American military leadership is not about to fabricate a Gulf Of Tonkin incident in a last minute attempt to install Trump as dictator. The Saudis aren't fools, they know that Trump's days are limited, and his power is slipping away as shown by the the vote to override the veto of the military budget. The Saudis best bet is to suck up to Biden.

7. Yes ... TRUMP would be party to this, no question in my mind ...

BUT ... the military would tell him to fuck right off at this point I believe.

5. You can't prove it!

SO STOP SAYING THAT! And I Mean It! Or Else!

[StarfishSaver]

6. I think at this stage, the military has some failsafe measures in place to protect against this

[flamingdem]

8. So... why did Trump head back to the White House and have Pence cancel his trip?

???

9. as far as I know, things have

never been as they seem in the Middle-east, going back a few thousand years.
