Does he have a clue who Iran’s allies are? We might as well prepare for a retaliatory attack.

I say this because I studied with Iranian students back in the day. They are bright and intelligent people. They can retaliate like we can. might not be nuclear but just as devastating.

Like someone once said, don’t start something you can’t finish!
