You know all these experts the President of the US has, the CIA, the Pentagon, all the advicers. They work hard, they do, to gather all intel, all geography, all satellite data, all psychology assesments. They present their reports, the President used to very carefully listen to it. They were the best on the world. Always on top condition, wise, measured and trustworthy.
Trump has reduced them to a bunch who cannot answer what imminent means while being questioned by their own people. Only the President knows what imminent is. Only the President knows what he will do. And so on and on. They have been reduced to a shadow of themselves, trying to stay away from questionning the "leader".
Well... that is a truthful sign that Trump is not any kind of leader, just on its own.
The guys who said, nope you should not go to war with Iran were ignored or, most likely, fired....
But, the reality, back in the real world, when this "decimated" regime of Iran called its citizens to make human chains around power plants and bridges, what did the Iranians do? They did turn up, with plenty of flags, in mass!
I am against making human chains, for sure. But that they actually went, it has shocked me, to be honest. They did not seem to have any police or other coercion around them. I did not spot it.
I am positive that this type of behaviour was mentioned in prior reports on why not to attack Iran. Though it is years back that some sort of discussion on the matter was published.
I will try to find some article.
