President Donald Trump was set to meet his national security team in Washington on Tuesday to discuss the escalating Middle East conflict, fueling fresh speculation that the US is on the verge of joining Israel’s attack on Iran.

“Before the meeting, Trump posted a demand for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” and warned of a possible strike against the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump posted on social media.”

1. Just like Shrub in 2001.

Told Saddam to resign or we’d invade.

2. STFU old man.

3. Trump demanding Iran surrender.

If that doesn't put the fear of Allah in them, nothing will.

5. 😆

4. He managed to compromise Israeli intelligence as well.

I hope Iran farted in his general direction and taunted him a second time. I usually feel I should support the US when we get in a conflict, Vietnam notwithstanding but lately I haven’t seen any action I would support, and this is just ridiculous. I’d be rooting for Iran.

6. I bet $100 TACO folds first.

7. I don't think so, and I also don't think it matters what Iran does, trump wants

this war.

[ananda]

12. Agree. He wants a war so bad he can taste it.

And he really does want to use nukes, even by proxy
through Israel.

16. Of course he does, or he wouldn't be demanding UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

Wtf does that even mean? It's a phrase he heard in an old WWII movie and it hits all the sweet spots of his narcissism.

Iran cannot and will not do that though as even he knows. Surrender what? All weapons, soldiers, uranium, maybe their first-born?

He has just ensured attacks on US bases and soldiers, though. Maybe that was the plan.

[0rganism]

14. Nah, not this time. He physically needs a win after his birthday fashapalooza fell flat

His narcissistic supply is running dry. He'll happily bomb some brown people on the other side of the planet to recharge it. Better yet, someone else can do it for him, while he takes credit. This is far too juicy to pass up, he'll run with this.

[Deuxcents]

8. We were warned and TSF has to be out front..except in the firing line. That's for losers and suckers

[JohnSJ]

9. and that also goes for those who refused to vote for VP Harris.

10. He's totally lost control of his senses

Just as he did with his bowels.

11. Autocracy Handbook 101 demands a foreign war to distract the masses...

I don't think it will work. Americans will die because of this, and that is assuming he doesn't trigger WWIII and we're sent back to the next Stone Age.

I keep hoping some SS Agent will provide us with a 2d Amendment solution.

13. TACO

Trump Always Chickens Out - why should Iran feel any differently?

[Torchlight]

15. He really hates not being the center of attention.

Now he's demanding a country surrender to him that's fighting a war with another country.

Degenerate old man throwing tantrum. Never a good look for the nation, but here we are...

[-misanthroptimist]

17. What is Iran supposed to surrender...

...and to whom?

[multigraincracker]

18. Chapter 3.

Take out the Government, install the Shahs grandson and give BP and Exxon 60% of the oil.
