After Iran Downs Apache Helicopter, Trump Threatens New Round of Airstrikes

Is he serious this time or is it more, you know, twitter bullshit?

Comments President Donald Trump made on Wednesday suggest that he may be losing patience with the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which have for months failed to produce a peace deal.

"They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The statement comes a day after the U.S. launched what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be ignored.

Trump now says that the limited airstrikes of Tuesday and today are just the preamble, and that the long-planned attack on Iran's power plants and bridges is coming.

I have to say, I don't believe this. I think this is more saber-rattling to provoke Iran into signing a "deal" that they simply will never, ever sign.

And it would mean nothing point zero zero zero even if they signed it. They are lying, dishonorable, death-cultists animals.

Generally-supportive General Jack Keane is visibly frustrated with the stalemate.

FoxNews reports that the downed Apache pilots were rescued by... a robotic boat.

I've seen stuff like that in Ukraine, where wounded soldiers are now ferried from the front line to rear-area medical units by robotic stretchers. Ukraine also sank Russian ships using robotic kamikaze boats.

We're now officially living in the future (but not the future we were promised).

What Trump wants is a "deal" he can call a victory and then get the price of oil down to spark the American economy into a hot burn. But Iran knows this is exactly what he wants, and they will never give it to him.

What really has to be hit isn't power plants, which would hurt the population. What has to be hit is mosques where regime leadership is hiding, because they know we won't hit them.

And hospitals which also serve as regime headquarters. And the hospitals don't render treatment to anyone but regime leaders and wounded regime thugs, so nothing much lost if they're hit.

Obviously, hitting these targets would be extremely controversial. I understand why Trump isn't giving the order -- but I think the order has to be given to actually finish off the regime.

And if Trump doesn't want to do it: Give Israel the go code and promise to defend their striking of these hidden regime bases.

Otherwise, it's just this tit-for-tat bullshit forever, with oil prices remaining high and the GOP's standing degrading.
