    The best gift Trump could give the Democrats is a war with Iran. The average American will NOT be behind another countless war and the Democrats would be smart to use it as a rallying cry to get rid of Trump. This could be the best scenario for Democrats. Polling has support for another war at less then 35%.

    Lets us also forget that Trump just threatened to bomb historical and religious sites (accent mosques from the Persian empire) in Iran which would be a war crime. Anyone who doesn't see this ending up a disaster is fkin blind. We're only going to create more radicals in the middle eastern. It always amazes me how we never learn from our mistakes.

    I don’t know about that. Iranian hackers is definitely not on the level of China, Russia or maybe even NK. They are known to be not that capable. I’m sure they are getting better. They themselves were apparently victim of cloaked operation - non Iranian hackers used the Iranian infrastructure for hacking operation.

    I think there's a risk here of lots of people talking about things they can't possibly know about

    Sure, but I’m not sure what you are referring to at all.

    that wasn't aimed at you if that's what you're asking. The confident assertion that Jamkaran Mosque is on the "list" is an example of what I was referring to.

    it would be a cultural target . . . and not necessarily saying ANY target "would be OK".

    OK.

    Threatening destruction of cultural sites is quite literally a terrorist threat. Let’s just be clear on that.

    No idea but it doesn’t matter exactly which cultural sites as far as war crimes go. Cultural sites are off limit. Trump has before said he would take out families of terrorist - war crime again, but that was just him talking nonsense and he wouldn’t do anything like that, right. Yea, we been here before. And this is more serious - he is directly tought tweeting Iran. It’s stupid and idiotic. But that’s him. The sec of state oth should know better. All this means to me is there is likely no one left in the admin to tell him what’s off limit.... and so the perceived chances of the US striking a cultural site, committing a war crime just went up.
