    Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran

    Between the lines: The standoff with Iran has gone on so long that many Americans are likely numb to it. War could come sooner, and be much bigger, than most recognize, sources say.  Trump's military and rhetorical build-ups make it hard for him to back down without major concessions from Iran on its nuclear program.  It's not in Trump's nature, and his advisers don't view the deployment of all that hardware as a bluff.


    With Trump, anything can happen. But all signs point to him pulling the trigger if talks fail.

    When Dictators are floundering at home, the solution is to go to WAR abroad.  This will of course totally make a mess in a goobermint completely unable to govern, and there is close to ZERO chance it will be over in a couple of weeks.  Free elections?  ANY ELECTIONS?  Don't hold your breath.
