Trump and Iran
When protests broke out in Iran, President Trump warned the Iranian government against harming the protesters. He stated the United States was locked and loaded. The protesters believed him. Iran’s government did not. They shot and killed thousands of protesters. Trump did nothing.
A month later, Trump sent an aircraft carrier to the gulf. It wasn’t because of Iran killing protesters. He says it is because of Iran’s nuclear program. A program Trump claimed to have completely destroyed.
Our allies in the gulf don’t want to be collateral damage if Trump does attack Iran. They have banned us from attacking Iran from our air bases in their countries as well as using their air space.
Trump also loses interest as soon as things stop going his way. He then does something to divert people’s attention. Attacking Iran may be a diversion from the Epstein files and his mishandling of the economy. If our military begins taking casualties nothing he can do will divert the country’s attention from that.
