Tom Nichols: “At 2:58 a.m. EST (according to the time stamp on his Truth Social post), the president of the United States wrote: ‘If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.’ And then, of course: ‘Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
“A man pushing 80, fighting sleeplessness as older people sometimes do, should be expected now and then to send some weird messages on his Jitterbug. He is also entitled to make some typos, as we all do. But this particular senior citizen is the leader of the most powerful country in the world, and he’s implying he’ll use force against a country he has attacked once already. At the least, Americans might expect that when threatening military action, the commander in chief would give his post a quick proofread. (True to sycophantic form, the official White House account transcribed Trump’s warning while also repeating the typo—as if his mistake was intentional.) …
“What’s going on here? The answer is probably: *Not much*. Trump might be considering another showy round of B-2 strikes, which wouldn’t be much help to people demonstrating in the streets of Tehran. Or he might have just outed some sort of intelligence operation in Iran. Or maybe he just couldn’t sleep. Trump claims ‘we’ are locked and loaded, but America is not ready for a war of national liberation in Iran.
“Trump’s nocturnal ravings are dangerous. The world may be more or less accustomed to Trump’s bizarre threats, but it is still a big deal when the president of the United States menaces another nation. Intelligence analysts, friend and enemy alike, do not have the luxury to presume that the American commander in chief is just having a bad night.”

I would like to say that I would be more concerned if there was a significant build up of US ground forces near Venezuela or Iran, but Trump isn’t exactly a careful planner..
This will scream to the iranian people „The protestors are linked to America, they are being paid“
Why is he rescuing people after they gave been „violently killed“
Knights in shining armour traditionally arrive before the evil step-mother has sacrificed the young beauty – otherwise the rescue is a failure. Dead people don’t need rescued.
now we are the World Police
That sounds like a land invasion
The President of Peace, ladies and gentleman. I’m curious as to the last Nobel Peace Prize winner that said about another country „Locked and Loaded!“
While its obvious which side america is cheering, the president picking sides is an awful mistake. the people of iran CAN both want a regime change AND not wanting to join the western world. it just gives people that don’t protest and dislike the west a reason.
