Trump considering spy network how to#Its problem and the problem for its Moslem allies, is again how to end the war, and the technical one of how to take out Iranian sites hundreds of feet under rock, without US bombers and 30,000 lb bombs.Īs Iran is determined to get the bomb, and none of its neighbours, or the P 5 want it to, the issue isn't going to go away. ![]() Israel is, according to some lawyers, already in a state of war with Iran- given Iranian threats to its existence and Iranian actions and israeli responses, so if it attacks Natanz, Fordow, or the other nuclear and missile sites it may avoid the legal issue - and just be a continuation of an existing war. And you then have to ask whether an attack would do more than delay the nuclear threat, and how valuable the delay might be. The practical issue is how you then end the war which results - which may look less proportional. Removing a nuclear threat is proportional to an awful lot of mayhem, so meets the first proportionality test. But that date is uncertain given the missiles may work already, and we have no sight of Iran's progress on weapon design, or the possible arrival of complete weapons from N Korea - which works closely with Iran. The remaining legal issue is when the right of self defence applies - because the threat is nearing completion. ![]() Trump considering spy network series#The threat posed by Iran having nuclear weapons is agreed by a series of UN resolutions. Showing missile bases, missile test flights and statements saying where the missiles will land, makes the threat undeniable. ![]() Iran has been silly enough to issue threats to the US, sponsor attacks on US forces, and to have a highly visible programme of missile development to reach US targets. There's no clear war crime attacking nuclear weapon sites in breach of multiple treaties and UN resolutions. But waiting for the whole threat to emerge may also be too late as it might be usable or more likely to cause environmental damage if destroyed. Spite is difficult to prove even if the timing would look premature. We shouldn't let criminals off the hook because some of the electorate are neo-Nazis. F*ck whatever his rabid knuckle-dragging supporters think. If Trump causes a war out of petty spite, I damned-well hope Biden has him handed over to the UN for war crimes. The president's frantic tweets after the news broke of top Iranian nuclear scientist's assassination make it clear his administration gave its blessing to the Tehran attack attributed to Israel. Trump considering spy network tv#When Biden’s on TV, Trump /Giuliani just have to be on TV at same time on another Channel. Strike while the iron’s hot, still bleating about the Steal and fighting for democracy and the soul of the American people, etc, etc. It seems he just needs to officially declare his intent to run and campaign in order to be able to ask for donations, so, if nothing else, he can continue the grift. I could also see him flying solo and standing as an independent, or seeking to split the GOP. I can imagine a COVID safe inauguration with a limited crowd and a big Super-Spreader Gathering of the Faithful to “prove” Trump’s the People’s President □. I've seen it argued believably elsewhere that Trump announcing a 2024 run, much like the rest of the noise he is making at the moment, is 'insurance' so that he can rebuff any investigations that might come as 'politically motivated'. Can you imagine the fuss if he doesn't even get the nomination? Trump considering spy network free#If they have presidential ambitions, I can't see Pence and Pompeo sitting back and letting Trump having a free run at it. He will have to fight it out against any number of others. Trump would also do well to consider that as he won't be sitting president, the GOP's nomination for 2024 won't be a rubber stamping exercise. It's not surprising, but other than probably OAN, does he honestly think any major network is going to cut short coverage and analysis of Biden's inauguration to cover the start of a presidential run, when the GOP's decision on their 2024 candidate won't be made for some three years thereafter? I see Trump is reportedly considering launching his 2024 campaign on the same day as Biden's inauguration (Narcissism 101 - Don't let anyone else have the limelight). ![]()
