If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!

It's always a good way to start your day waking up to a tweet like this.

Pardoning convicted war criminals is a slap in the face to everyone who fought honourably and to everyone who didn’t commit war crimes.
It sends the message that the Rules of Engagement and military laws are just annoying suggestions, do what you want and the Chief will pardon you.

Sure hope that's an idle threat and not a 'Bolton is pounding on his favorite dream'.

Hurry up this Iran war. He's all talk. A year from now Trump is history. Well, he will limp to the election.

 

[The Atheist]

Exactly, they knew what was lawful and what wasn't.
By hunting at a pardon Trump is giving the OK to soldiers to commit illegal acts.
It undermines military law and discipline.

What a load of utter nonsense - USA isn't even a member of the ICC, and the military leaders proved beyond any shadow of doubt that they have no interest in prosecuting war crimes when the murder of Saeed Chmagh, Saleh Matasher Tomal and five others was excused.

They emphasised the point when they prosecuted the whistle-blower rather than the murderers.

How many of the disgusting US grunts at Abu Ghraib knew the law was being broken and said nothing? Again, it took being outed by a media organisation to have any kind of action taken.

Unfortunately, the evidence is clear that the command structure of US' military forces and the Republican government do not have any interest in prosecuting war crimes unless there's an international outcry, and as shown by the Reuters murder, not necessarily even then.

Cowards protecting cowards. Trump has found his spiritual home.

This really pisses me off. He's not "misstating" anything. He's LYING, damnit. Why does so much of the media go all "wobbly" (to quote the Iron Lady) when it comes to Dump's behavior.

He's a pathological 'misstater'.

 

[Trebuchet]

He's a pathological 'misstater'.

"That statement is no longer operative."

I knew there had to be one!

Well done.

Trump will probably invite himself backstage to her dressing room.

Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him. Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in. They forgot the people....

...who got them there. Chris Wallace said, “I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance...fascinating biography.” Gee, he never speaks well of me - I like Mike Wallace better...and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!

Remember the good old days when all we got were jokes from the President about starting a war.

I get a vision of one of those old loony tunes cartoons where the protagonist has got an angel and a demon on each shoulder telling him what to do.

A devil yes, but on that other shoulder? Perhaps a reincarnation of Cadet Bone Spurs showing a bit of cowardace.

Ooops! Donnie was sounding too much like a peacenik. One of the war-mongers was his last meeting-before-the-tweeting, so he's trying to sound bellicose. That worked so well with Kim, after all.

He's squirming because he thought all he had to say was "Call me, Ayatollah baby!" and they'd come running. (Probably a good song in there, somewhere.)

It's not a lie if you believe it.

Bernie Sanders isn't hard left except in the USA! You people are so mind warped by the GOP and your media that anyone even remotely social democrat is seen as some sort of Commie hard case. Given that I do believe most Americans are smart and decent people I really struggle to understand why in this one area they seem to believe like reactionary zombies.

That's it brah! You got it! Golly, you're such a worldly skeptics you know so much about USA! "GOP brainwashing" is the reason why American politics don't align with a European's interpretation of the left-right paradigm. It has nothing to do with systems of government, demographics, geographical locations, and countless other variables, but "GOP brainwashing." I was totally unaware of this until several Europeans, with their massive insight into 'USA politics,' told me.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Europeans, with their massive insight into more than just domestic US policies knew that the Iraq war was based on lies and was doomed to cause the death of millions and trillions of dollars.
It is wise to listen to what your friends tell you, when you've become too cock-sure of yourself.

 

[Baylor]

War is costly. That's some massive insight right there. Nice derail though.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

If you think it is a derail, maybe you haven't understood the argument?
