Don't forget that the Israelis also have nukes and The Revolutionary Guards have continuously called for the annihilation of Israel . I suspect the Nukes are what have kept them trying full blown war . They are certainly a very convincing deterrent. Hopefully it stays that way . As for Trump surely there would be major push back by the US military brass if the fool even considered the nuclear option . Can't see it but given what's been happening .......and yes, it's a very dicey situation to be sure. One question right now is who runs out of ammo first .So..... Venezuela... then Iran which resulted in most of the middle east jumping in on one side or the other.... He's talking Cuba next... The man who brags (lies) about ending wars for a year is now responsible for turning the middle east into a total clusterf**k. Yes. No one wanted Iran to build nukes... No one wants any country with people and leaders that have violence running through their veins instead of blood... but at what cost...It took less than a day for the US to broadcast they were very close to negotiating an agreement with Iran. Then the Gerald S. Ford made it into range and negotiations turn into a full weapons strike. Israel jumped on the bandwagon with Trump and now they are bombing Lebanon as well while Iran is bombing every country within range that are US friendly. So how long before North Korea and China jump into the fray...I'm not sure where this one is going to end with Trump at the reins thinking he's playing a game..... How long before he starts counting down the DEFCONS....5...4...3...2...1.... Get your key out and your finger on the button Pete.... Let's end this quick.... I wouldn't put it past the crazy fool.... Scary stuff folks.... scary stuff....
