The US has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
I must say, I am both surprised and not surprised. Which is always the way with trump. I thought he might like the drama and world attention on him a bit longer.
Also surprised that I really thought trump wanted the Nobel Peace Prize. I still do, except I didn’t imagine that in his warped mind he thought he might be able to get it by bombing Iran to the negotiating table. But I guess he’s that delusional.
Another thought: Goodbye any chance for regime change, which was ultimately the only chance for a lasting peace. Even Iranians who hate the regime will rally behind it. From this day forth, Iran will do everything in its power to rush to get a nuclear weapon. They need one to defend against the US.
Another thought: Iran will retaliate. I expect that the retaliation will take the immediate form of firing missiles at US military bases in the region, but also terrorism, since Iran has shown that terrorism is the only thing it is actually competent at.
I expect trump and the US will rue this day.
