Talk is we might begin bombing them within 12 hours, and nuclear weapons are on the table.
Calm down.

I sure hope you have a source for a claim like that
"Talk is." This is what I'm listening to others saying.
How Trumpian of you.
I'm telling you that when nonpolitical people heard about this news, that's their response. This is the kind of expectation Trump has already set in his first week and a half.

Wow, great news!

Thanks for clearing up that you're a raging goddamn psychopath on top of being a self-defeating fascist, David.
I love that this is coming from a sock "new poster" with 17 posts.

That was weird, but he may have been a lurker before becoming a poster

I wouldn't call it an "interruption." Spicer asked him to speak from a prepared statement...

Yeah, if that happens, that's basically the biggest foreign policy blunder since WW II, and that's saying something

Yeah, I'm not going to entertain the hypothetical, because I assume Blue is running with some random Twitter rumour, but god this would be like Suez Crisis times a hundred in terms of its ability to backfire.

Flynn is daring Rouhani to fight his rich buddy Trump behind the gym after school?

Wow, great news! Time to teach them a lesson in democracy.

Their leader was elected by the majority of the people. More than we can say.

Israel will be more likely to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran.

John Bolton wrote in 2015:

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-bolton-iran-military-option-20150726-story.html

"However, Iran may well retaliate. At that point, Washington must be ready to immediately resupply Israel for losses incurred by its armed forces in the initial attack, so that Israel will still be able to effectively counter Tehran's proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, which will be its vehicles for retaliation. The United States must also provide muscular political support, explaining that Israel legitimately exercised its inherent right of self-defense. Whatever Obama's view, public and congressional support for Israel will be overwhelming.

American weakness has brought us to this difficult moment. While we obsessed about its economic discomfort, Iran wore its duress with pride. It was never an even match. We now have to rely on a tiny ally to do the job for us. But unless we are ready to accept a nuclear Iran (and, in relatively short order, several other nuclear Middle Eastern states), get ready. The easy ways out disappeared long ago."

This is insane, there is no reason that we should be attacking Iran. Heck, we probably have a more valid reason to attack Saudi Arabia than Iran.

On notice for what? Having Israel not like them?
