Particularly amazing then that every move ends up to the benefit of Russia. Putin must have incredible luck.

I also read that Russia is helping Iran.

Of course they are. The best possible outcome for Russia is for us to grind down our military, spend an untold fortune, and lower our readiness worldwide.

Um, yeah. Considering repercussions of one's actions is usually important. Or, just bomb away and hope for the best? You think like Trump.
And, you know it's short-term? How do you know this?

That's what his cult leader told him.

I tend to think Putin is not particularly focused on US military readiness. He already knows the Us president is on his side. All he needs is a few plausible distractions (Venezuela, Iran), for the American public, to accomplish his goals.

Donald trump made this decision. He does not do anything that is not directly put in front of him and has a tangible return for himself. Donald Trump doesnt care about any of the things you mention.

That's a lot of unsupported speculation.

I'm more making the point that, if you are rushing to see your mother before she passes away, you aren't worrying about the loss of tread on your tires.

What is the impact to America if iran acquired a nuke?
What is the impact to America if israel attacked iran without the US and it turned the ME against israel?

The impact would be far greater than what we will experience from this.

Zero and Zero

I hope one day to see this POS hang in The Hague.

Hanging in an approximate part of north-carolina will suffice.

You're probably right (that it is a higher figure). Youssef is a reporter for The Atlantic, so the official - likely on background for now, given how the administration feels about unofficial releases of information - probably offered what (s)he felt was a legitimate figure at the current time.

I've heard the more accurate number is $1b every 3 hours.

I’d love to have seen Trump’s face when they told him Iran has an oil island.

OMG!!! They have no idea what they are doing. If Iran loses that then there is absolutely no reason for them to NOT mine the strait. It will turn into a freaking nightmare.

I would love for someone to plant a story that Iran and Russia are negotiating the transfer of a nuclear weapon from Russia to Iran. And then someone ask Trump about it. His reaction would be interesting.

Actually you may be predicting a fact to be. No doubt N Korea would be happy to oblige. However getting it there could present a problem.

If You are talking about a country that funds terrorism around the world, is clearly dedicated to their nuclear weapons program and killed tens of thousands of protesters, you think you consider a short-term revenue increase for Russia when deciding what action to take?

Sounds like as a better description of Russia than Iran.
