All he does is flip flop. Was the same with tariffs against everyone last year - he kept backing off at the last moment.

Amusing that it's on a Tuesday again. TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) Tuesday.

Yes, markets weren't taking his "normal" market manipulation tweets seriously, so he had to go hyperbolic with the NUKE tweet. I am definitely sure Trump is not serious. That's why Iran said we will continue this discussion with complete distrust.

Help me understand. Isn't it a good thing that Iran wasn't blown to pieces?

It is, but he is weakening the credibility of the United States in the process. Never make a threat you aren't willing to back, otherwise everyone knows you make idle threats.

The chicken is always the good part of the TACO. That doesn't make the whole thing great.

It's just another military adventure ending in a disaster - probably the most humiliating in a long long time. But to your point, it's better for the US to admit defeat now, than in 2 or 3 weeks, let alone in 2 or 3 years. If a parallel can be made, Russia would have been best advised to have done the same 3 years ago.

Yes.

But it’s still bad that the US threatened a genocide this morning.

As an uninvolved /newcomments reader that sees things scroll past, I didn't flag it either .. but literally anybody currently active might have.

Likely not the GP and not necessarily anybody "left".

Perhaps you should read the site guidelines, then.

It only requires reading your refusal to give a straight answer, eg your deflection to a passive-voice observation of the Roman Empire's collapse while avoiding the actual question of how you characterize an explicit threat to terminate a civilization.

The Roman civilization died. Stating that a civilization will die is not a genocidal threat.

Hit flag again :)

What in anything parent said makes you think it’s not a good thing?

Calling someone a chicken is seen as derogatory.

I too would take issue with being compared with that guy if i were a chicken.
