Trump Strikes a Hornet’s Nest

Trump's chess board

It looks Trump is starting a war with Iran. Hundreds of our young men and women are now being sent to the middle east to protect US assets.

“It’s like hitting a hornets’ nest with a baseball bat,” said Robert Baer, a former CIA case officer in the Middle East and veteran of clandestine operations. “You don’t do it unless you’re ready to go to war with the hornets.” 1

Both Republican and Democratic administrations showed careful avoidance of this kind of confrontation that might escalate into war with Iran. But Trump’s erratic decision making process has changed all that.

Trump’s mistake of pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal was a big mistake. Now he and the United States will be paying for it. All because Trump is trying to undo everything good that President Obama tried to accomplish including healthcare.
