9. " Trump has ordered a massive U.S. military build up "

Not exactly. He has ordered a massive NAVAL build near Iran.

WTF is the purpose? Does he plan to bomb the shit out of Iran and at some point the Iranian people will rise up, throw out the mullahs, and select a George Washington to lead them into freedom, prosperity, love, and peace along with a long-time alliance with the US?

Neither Trump nor the assholes advising him have a clue about how to proceed.

WTF is the goal? What does he want the situation to be at the end? How do we know when we get to the end? He has no idea and no one around him has any idea . . . and speaking as a retired Army officer, I doubt that there is a general officer in any of the services with the stones to stand up to Trump and Hogsbreath and tell them this is madness.

Bombing from now until Nov 2029 will do nothing but piss of the next ten generations of Iranians. If he thinks he will put troops on the ground, it will require a MINIMUM of 60 days to get even a basic invasion force in place. We will get NO support from Europe or from most of the Middle East. And the ground war will drag on and on and on. Meanwhile, when the body bags start to arrive, if you think Trump's approval ratings are low now . . . .

This is the pipe dream of a madman abetted by imbeciles, fools, and braying jackasses.

None of this will end well.
