    Donald Trump was talked out of launching a missile strike on Iran's main nuclear site by his top advisers last week who warned it could trigger a war
    • President Trump asked senior advisers about taking action against Iran's main nuclear site at a meeting last Thursday, the New York Times reported Monday
    • Four current and former US officials said Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were among those present at the meeting
    • The meeting took place a day after international inspectors informed UN members that Iran had significantly increased its stockpile of nuclear material
    • Trump's advisers talked him out of launching a strike by warning that such action could trigger a wider conflict with Iran
    • The strike would have targeted Iran's main nuclear site, Natanz
    President Donald Trump considered launching a strike against Iran's main nuclear facility last week before senior advisers talked him out of the dramatic action, according to two new reports.

    Trump asked top national security aides including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Acting Defense Secretary Christopher C Miller and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Mark Milley about the potential strike at a meeting in the Oval Office last Thursday, the New York Times reported Monday, citing four current and former US officials.

    Par for the course. I'm surprised he didn't try to launch a missile strike against California.

    A while back someone (Michael Cohen ?) predicted that Trump would go as far as starting a war in order to enable him to remain in office.

    If only we had some sort of multilateral deal with the Russians, Europeans, and Iranians to incentivize them not to enrich uranium.

    Trump interfered with the payoff and now he wants to nuke them? Change the code and keep him neutered. If it happened, Armageddon would result. Radiation does not stay on a border line. It spreads like a California wildfire and no one can stop it. Even Trumps' buddies in Saudi Arabia and Israel would be affected. He has no common sense! The Russians screwed Europe in April 1986. Remember?

    Instead of a strike we could bomb them with Trump MAGA flags.

    He needs "medical attention", no matter how "rigged" that can be.

    But, they better hope they don't get captured. Trump doesn't like people who get captured.
