What we need to do is stop threatening third party sanctions because they dont follow our sanctions. That is illegal as hell. I am totally for withdrawing from the Iranian deal and I want my money back but to threaten NORWAY because THEY dont is BS!!I warned everyone here that Bolton is no damned good. This is the kind of madness that killed your sons— as happened in Iraq. 5000 dead!! 40,000 soldiers wounded ( not including PTSD and suicides) -— FOR NOTHING!! Let me tell you this. Iran is no Iraq— we are talking about 96 million people— 1 million in the army , air force and huge navy. and totally backed by Russia. This is a war that we are creating and you better get ready for. Bolton is a WAR MONGER!!

Trump needs to talk to Putin and try to get Vlad on line for something less than war with Iran.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel talks to Putin next Wednesday as well. Israel has its beef with Iran and I understand but lets all hope cooler heads prevail.

Iran has its missiles but not its nukes. Its not quite up to North Korea level and we talk to NK.

I couldn’t disagree with you more. The fact is, once those Mullahs obtain their weapons, they will use them. You advocate we wait until they can take out our navy and our allies in a dozen nuclear strikes. Adults in charge now are not going to wait for that.

Sir, I understand and somewhat agree with you, but could you please dial it back a bit?

Asking is all that's gone on so far. The US has asked other countries to not buy from Ira.

That might not be possible for some due to their own contracts and national laws.

As to the Iranian military, the US Navy sank the Iranian Navy twice already. And while the MSM didn't report either occurrence in the 80’s and 90’s, a third time is well within the fleet assets currently in the gulf to handle again.

I personally believe that containment is the right approach, but it will take decades, just like the former USSR. Eventually the mullahs will fall.
