“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

In My Opinion (more thoughts on Monday!)
His several dissuasions (see NY Times comment above) to Netanyahu and Israel have always been because he “was close to or about to make a “deal” with Iran regarding their nuclear facilities with “controlled” nuclear enrichment that from his original invitation for talks on March 5th, which Iran accepted, has broken down at every meeting date since because of Trump’s vacillating and inconsistent demands on Iran. So this time around Israel ignored even notifying the U.S. that it was going to attack and proceeded on their own. And Trump suddenly refers to that as “EXCELLENT”?
All I can do is wonder if this man has any cognizance or understanding of what is going on in this world of nuclear insanity. Or does he fit right in as the most dangerous leader of them All? There is never a word of truth that comes out of his mouth and they always are spoken — along with his actions, — to protect the very small little world for his own personal comfort rather than the world.
And he is our “Commander in Chief”? Enjoy your military parade, Mr. Trump! ~llaw
