First :
Isn't " England " where the phony Steele Dossier was developed/cultivated.....Hmmmm.
Second :
Have YOU seen the Intelligence information that prompted the United States to pull
US personal from Iraq and surrounding areas....Hmmmm.
Third :
Could YOU live with the subtle premise you are putting forward if the contrary proved
true and massive amounts of human lives were lost due to a Nuclear Detonation in the region
because the Iranians had been secretly building Nuclear Weapons and NOW they decided
to initiate a Terrorist Act with a Few !!! ...............Hmmmmmmm.
BLIND Loyalty to the Criminal Empire/MSM is your Achilles Heel.

Blaming America First on Iran
Trump is trying to protect U.S. interests, not start a war.

When the U.S. withdraws its diplomats from a foreign country amid a security threat, the domestic reaction in a previous age would have been to show solidarity against an adversary. But this is Washington in 2019, so the loyal opposition is reacting to the threat from Iran by blaming—President Trump.

Iran can’t win a war against the United States. But Tehran could win in negotiations.

During a recent speech, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani declared that “Obama, the president of the United States, asked me nineteen times for a meeting. But the government did not have the authorization to respond.” Most likely, President Barack Obama did not ask 19 times for such a meeting, but another U.S. president has made it publicly clear that he wants to have talks with Iran.
Rouhani was signaling to his own hard-liners that it was time to engage President Trump. Iran cannot win a war against the United States, but it is confident it can outwit Washington at the negotiating table. The most persistent question in Iran today is not about war but whether it is time to entrap the Americans in another lengthy diplomatic process.
For the past two years, the Trump administration has had the luxury of imposing a series of punitive sanctions on Tehran without the Iranians doing anything in response. They gave truculent speeches and pledged defiance while essentially waiting for 2020, when, they hope, a more accommodating Democratic president will come to power. The guardians of the Islamic republic assured themselves that the Trump team would not be able to persuade America’s allies to join in its sanctions policy, much less drive Iran’s oil exports to zero. They were comfortable with maintaining a state of confrontation with Washington and relished rejecting Trump’s persistent calls for direct talks.
All this has now changed. Iran’s economy is imploding, and the inflation rate there is skyrocketing. The Trump administration has deterred European commerce and Asian investment from going into Iran. And it may yet succeed in driving down Iran’s oil imports close to zero. These are ominous signs for a regime whose power is based on an elaborate welfare state that sustains its dwindling supporters. Today it is patronage and not piety that holds up the wobbly foundations of the Islamist regime.
