How dare he consider all of his options.

If the US committed to a large war with Iran, then Russia would be free sweep through Eastern Europe.

Nuke Iran, North Korean, Russia and China. We killing the Earth anyway. Just get it done faster. JUST KIDDING!!.

Pink Floyd song: dogs of war. Trump

No president will ever have such a war, this will be a beautiful war. Like no other.

Since his lips moved when he denied it, the report must be absolutely RRUE!!!

I thought you were the great white savior that just got them out.

Iran has always needed to be dealt with, finally have someone who'll draw a line in the sand and wont back down. If the commander in chief and the joint Chiefs agree I saw go...give full support and get the damn thing done!!

And that is because trump is prolife ( not )

Ok so he forgot he was briefed, he doesn't want to give up secrets, he didn't get the brief read to him, Ok so he lies.

A walking Tyranny 😢

BS! Starting a war that will kill and maim young women and men just for profit? Just to please egos and a barbaric ally? BS! Mothers wake up!

Get ready for war bush all over again Lindsay the queer leading the charge lol I

Sure Donny..

I'm pretty sure i said this was gonna happen when Mattis announced he was stepping down. sofain Didnt i DM you about this being my nightmare senario?

Not a bad denial.

Love that rhetoric!

Why not Nuke the Border realDonaldTrump, since you already make no sense?

It’s 20k and a plan that was made years ago. More fake News Media. 👎

Damn right !!

GOP=death cult

A Hell of a lot more? Hey Captain Bone Spurs....why don’t you try to be a little more discreet when you’re talking about our flesh and blood.?

Trump is the greatest comedian of the past three years.

Meaning he is going to do it but doesn't want you to know yet.

Dopey

The Draft-Dodger in Chief sending young American service men and women to die in some bullsh*t manufactured crisis. How long are we as Americans going to sit here and let this sh*t-show of an administration and the castrated Republicans destroy this country?

Will Trump's son and son-in-law go fight in this war he is creating?!

So he’s wanting to go to war based on intelligence from the Intel Community, the same community which he defied when they reported Russian in their quest to help him. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!

I thought King Orange said, when running, he was gonna end overseas occupations? Hmmmm. Hey, pugtards......your orange grope king wouldn't have lied now, would he?

Trumps has already indicated that he will hold his cards close to his vest and not tip his hand and reveal what America intends to do. It's a smart and wise strategy.

Great news.

Destabilizing Iran much different than Iraq. Pray there's not trouble ahead.

braggard

When quadrupling down goes wrong.

Its official folks we have the dumbest media in the world our media is the laughingstock of the universe even ancient alien theorists have more credibility, but it is good for depression watch this crap and you'll be rolling on the floor

He lies all the time.

Wake up,country.

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

Donald Trump will not take my son to fight in his fake war with Iran because he wants to distract the world from his crimes.

Great, this idiot is going to get us in another war!!

So it’s true.
