Trump made the comments ahead of this weekend’s scheduled talks involving U.S. and Iranian officials in the Middle East sultanate of Oman. Trump earlier this week said the talks would be “direct” while Iran has described the engagement as “indirect” talks with the U.S.

“If it requires military, we’re going to have military,” Trump said. “Israel will obviously be very much involved in that. They’ll be the leader of that. But nobody leads us, but we do what we want to do.”

    We’re going to war with Iran, now? That’s a horrible idea. The US is not well situated to prosecute a war against a large and very well armed opponent in that part of the world. Losses would be atrocious on both sides. The only way this is acceptable is if Donald Trump is leading an infantry charge on the front lines at the get go.

    Oh, the “strongest” country in the world is a pussy? Or wants to make sure everyone against another genocide is labelled as antisemitic while they sit back and pay for it?

    lol. It’s both.
