No End in Sight for Trump's Iran Blunders

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Iran is a boondoggle.

But the president has seemed determined to get us involved in foreign military disputes wherever he can.

Over his term so far, he’s threatened invasions of -or deployed military force against- Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Greenland, Canada, Cuba, Mexico and maybe some others. It’s hard to keep track of which countries the “peace president” has threatened with military force?

After allowing Marco Rubio to gut the State Department, and virtually all of the USAID programs that generated enormous goodwill (and national security) for the American public, President Trump’s childlike lack of patience or strategic thinking leads him directly to military solutions. And with an unqualified and deeply unserious person like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth white knuckling his way through the job, those military solutions are far from ideal.

1. The Iran fiasco is the consequence of placing Trump in office, someone clearly unfit and unprepared to do the job.

And as a consequence of Trump’s incompetence, he appointed someone just as unfit and unprepared – Hegseth.

Trump’s arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity likewise leads him directly to military solutions that aren’t solutions at all; in the case of Iran, a ‘solution’ for a problem that didn’t exist.
