I understand that he overruled his military advisers and wanted the first strike situation. they told him it wasn't a good idea. of course he don't listen.

@hankster didn't know that. Utterly unsurprising. Trump would destroy the world to save himself. He's mad and he's dangerous. US political systems are too weak to deal with it.

@David1955 I wish I could verify it. comes from one of those Secret FB groups. there are a few Anonymous users in the group who are supposedly journalists and people that work in the capital, who are supposedly in the know. they say what you say about how he's off his rocker and will do anything to save himself and they put Netanyahu in the same boat. I always take what I read there with a grain of salt, but they seem legit. it does seem like the political system just doesn't have the will to deal with it. bunch of chickens.

@Bobby9 well, you're certainly not one of them. Leave the smug comments to people who are smarter than you which is just about everyone.

@Bobby9 here's a hint for you: millions of Americans -- a majority in fact -- would agree with me. Your comments about the fires are uncouth and poor taste, also immature.

@Bobby9 hey Mr "Independent" from South Carolina, don't take out your frustrations on me or us. We didn't vote in a crook and mental defective into the White House. You did. We are just living with the consequences, direct and indirect. So, yes, we have an opinion on it, and on those who voted for that crook.

@Bobby9 well, at least I can spell Trump's name. Anyway, North Carolina, now I get it. It's foreigners you don't like criticizing god bless America. You're a bit late. The whole remaining free world is appalled about the situation, and in that sense they are in solidarity with the greater majority of good American people. Have a good day y'all.

@Bobby9 and you're always so factual and specific too about the things I don't really know about. That's what I like. Funny.

@Bobby9 "knee herk responses"?
Funny.
Don't you mean "off the huff responses"?
