Earlier, Dan outlined some of the ways in which our Iran policy is changing and posted an excellent video of Mike Pompeo breaking it all down. Suffice it to say, Trump’s tweet isn’t some crazy, unhinged, rant. It’s a line in the sand from which we will take a new attitude toward a gang of international criminals, murderers, and terrorist sponsors.
Sorry Iran, that cushy free ride you got from Obama and Kerry has come to an end.
On the off chance that you haven’t seen it, here’s the President’s initial threat:
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
Notice that Wolf just kind of nods and goes along with Boot’s asinine claptrap
Of course, the media freaked out. Just as they did when Trump took on Kim Jong Un, the press has decided that World War III will commence momentarily. The madman in the oval office has doomed us to a future spent searching for past-date Twinkies amid the radioactive rubble. We are, for the first time this week, ALL GOING TO DIE!
That’s ridiculous, but it’s the narrative they’re trying to push. Check out the completely laughable “CNN Global Affairs Analyst Max Boot” and perennial milquetoast, Wolf Blitzer, as they lament the alleged fact that the Mullahs now “seem more stable and rational than the President of the United States.”
Yes, that is something that a living, breathing, supposedly thinking human being said on the air. …And he was apparently not completely embarrassed to do so.
"It's quite a pass we've come to when the leadership of a country like Iran seems more stable and rational than the President of the United States," says CNN Global Affairs Analyst Max Boot https://t.co/MQVnSffLs5pic.twitter.com/zwMGD0pZRD
