    Are the Iran Mullahs smart enough to heed Trump's warning ? ...

    Or dumb enough to think he's bluffing ?
    Hard to figure, but I suspect the latter which means they'll
    attack some American facility or at least some place that
    houses American personnel in some capacity , and that will be
    a really big whoops. Depending on the damage or loss of life
    received will probably determine the response, but something
    big might cost them an oil refinery or something equally capable
    of sending their economy even deeper into the hole. If so, maybe
    the Mullahs might learn something. Trump isn't obama or Bush or Clinton.
    It's like waiting to see how an old serial cliffhanger turns out.
    (for you youngsters, the baddie always loses).

    Blowing up archeological sites is a Taliban practice, and maybe a Trump tactic too. Time will tell.

      Trump would never do that. I'm surprised you'd think he would.
      Nothing religious either

            "Cultural sites"...not talking about Tehran's #1 kebab shop.

            Maybe he's bluffing.

              The "indians" in the mid-east have to show some kind of bluff. It's what they do. Yeah, it get 10,000 of them killed, but that's what they do. Keep it up guys, your on the right track. Alla ha balla balla, well you know what I mean.
              Don't blow up rocks. That's counter productive.

                Guess we got our answer, and in a format that is acceptable to Dogtag (just kidding).



                If Iran is after Trump's properties, that has nothing to do with the US as a whole. Sorta knocks the legs out of the Left and Right beating their war and peace drums. The Iranians appear to be good at asymmetric warfare, and Trump Corporation is the target...and, that's not our problem. This may end up showing the risks of having such a foreign invested party as leader of our country.

                Who wants their son or daughter dying to defend a Trump property? NO ONE! S.O.F.A. (Status of Forces Agreement) does not apply to his establishments.

                  I agree with dryheat. Over the years the Israelies have killed hundreds of Palestinians who riot at the fence every week. After all this loss of life they have just announced that from now on they will only riot 1 day per month.

                    The religious leaders of Iran if they stay true to their believes should welcome the MOAB sending them to paradise. So I don't see how the leaders can just take their ball and go home. If they do then the rhetoric that they have preached for decades is just a sham and they are like every other politician in the world. They like the power and perks.

                      Cultural and archeological sites are very different.
                      I'm OK with blowing up Iran's cultural sites but not the other.

                        Their "cultural sites" here need to be eliminated too. I've heard a mosque is being built near ground zero of all places. Democrats make it all too easy for them to move in and take over.

                        ICE needs to give priority to muslim deportations for the time being. All muslims need to be watched here. Some need to be questioned. This is no different from rounding up the Japanese after the Pearl Harbor attack. We don't know friend from foe. In numbers I wouldn't trust any of them regardless of what s**thole country they came from.

                        Think of how many of them would NOT be here if Trumps travel ban had not been interfered with.

                          It's an old culture. Perhaps best discussed with examples on/off the target list?

                            For reference: despite Pearl Harbor and the brutality of the Pacific War, we did not bomb Kyoto. We nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but did not bomb Kyoto.

                            Another: General Dietrich Von Choltitz disobeyed orders and gave up Paris without a fight instead of reducing it to rubble as ordered.

                            There's the bar, and yes, Trump WILL be judged by history.

                              Yes he will. So too will obama,
                              much like Churchill and Hitler were.
                              The only difference is that Hitler wasn't Black.
