Trump Demands Iran Make Peace or Risk More Strikes

Doesn't sound like a one off to me. (Chyron now on MSNBC), and I assume a quote from his "speech" which I didn't watch.

I guess he thinks he'll get the peace prize by forcing more war.

Right

And it certainly won't get him that Nobel Peace Price he wants so badly. Is this Shock and Awe 2.0 or the Christmas bombing of Hanoi? IIRC, neither action got us a big fat win.

It takes a lot for me to tune out but when I saw he had his posse of fellow scowlers with him, it turned too creepy and Orwellian for me.

People always think that bombing the crap out of a country will make them capitulate. It didn't work for the Nazis in the Battle of Britain. It didn't work any other time except when we dropped 2 nukes on Japan.

Look, these folks have had almost 50 years of chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." They aren't going to capitulate. Not while the mullahs are running the show.

after his first bombing today he posted on T social "Now is the time for Peace" ... and and just like that he's threatening more bombing. Guy is quack.
