A date that could very well be the escalation of an illegitimate war?

Trump has given an unprecedented ultimatum for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or Trump will commit very serious acts by attacking Iran’s infrastructure assets.

Dilemma being that he has threatened them at every turn. Yet he moves the timeline short of the deadline. Iran knows this and has shrugged off the threats every time.

What makes this threat different from the other threats? He is pissed that people aren’t giving him the credit for the rescue of military member which he shouldn’t get any of the credit, because he started this war.

I’m afraid he will go full bonkers and give orders to escalate this illegitimate war? I hope the military brass will not follow his illegitimate orders?

Hegseth is chomping at the bit to escalate this war and will be in Trump’s ear, pushing the narrative.

In the end, Trump will blame all this on everyone else, because he never has done anything wrong. And it was them who told him that this illegitimate war was a good idea!

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens? But I don’t have a good feeling about this situation now.

Also, this is the 6th. It was another 6th of a few years ago that all hell broke out in Washington DC.
