So it's all just more chaos with no payoff until that actually happens. Just like everything else Trump he will declare victory and move on to something else to wreck, because actual results are hard and he doesn't like that. We're on 70 something days and still only 1 international trade deal FFS.

Now we all wonder if Trump is smart enough to realize that this was a non-response that does not warrant further attack? The markets are rallying since Iran basically did nothing.Sadly, we likely know the answer. Betting on Trump being smart is like betting on the Washington Generals.I think he will back off but fear not as his next blunder is just hours or best case a few days away.

Not likely but who had bomb Iran's nuke facilities on their bingo card?

Obviously the special bunker busting bombs needed to be used somehow so not sure how that was going to happen without US planes delivering them.In any case, certainly not something I thought Trump was going to do at this stage.

Once that happened it was a no brainer Trump would try to pile on for an easy political win.

June 23Jun 23 Could this "attack" possibly be a way to lull the US into a false sense of security before their actual attack?

I forget who said it first during his first term, but he does/says so much crazy crap that it essentially has a "bed of nails" effect. Any individual nail would hurt a politician but when you spread out the pressure over many many nails well...
