Trump’s rationale is still opaque as he slides closer to war with Iran
There’s no full-court press from top national security officials. President Donald Trump is making hardly any effort to share the rationale for the potential or why military personnel might be asked to risk their lives. And the White House is giving no public sign that it knows what may unfold in Iran if its clerical regime is toppled, an eventuality that could cause enormous reverberations in the Middle East.
He hasn't shared a "rationale" for war because he doesn't have one. He is IRRATIONAL. He also has NO PLAN beyond dropping the Death from Above down on them and bombing them back to the stone age for a few weeks. He's got no idea how to run a puppet goobermint, he can't even run his own goobermint. They're certainly not going to get a "Democratic" goobermint, the best he could hope for is some kind of military dictatorship. The son of the last "Shah" who was a CIA Puppet has been lobbying to be re-installed, but it's doubtful he has any relationship with the command structure of today's Revolutionary Guard. The old Shah was at least an officer in the pre-revolutionary army.
Chances are you end up with a power vacuum with numerous factions vying for power, anarchy and increasing internal and international terrorism. Even if sanctions were lifted, it wouldn't be a very safe place for the oil majors to invest money, so they probably won't be anymore enthusiastic about Iran then they are about Venezuela. You'll have a humanitarian crisis which he would welcome since it's just Towel Head kids dying, but there's no good coastline to redevelop with casinos and condos. lol.
Despite the lack of rationale, the fact is he's sent a whole lotta military hardware over there, and unless he gets some kind of "deal" he can brag about, he'll look pretty ineffectual unless he hits them with the big stick. So that's what he's most likely to do.
