Trump Promises War with Iran

I think it was sort-of a slip, and very revealing. I'm surprised more people haven't picked-up on it. It's in one CBS story, and some Israeli media are repeating it, and that's it. I've already quoted it in the 'quotes' topic here, but I think it deserves more prominent placement.

Trump is an authoritarian who will resort to force, and then more force when things don't work out well. I see no reason not to expect him to use nukes. In this way he has every chance of topping the WWII death toll of 200 million, should he gain power.

The Iran threat was at the Iowa State Fair, 15 Aug 2015. Here are two screenshots of the CBS story, in case it doesn't stay up, first the head of the story, and then a snip from further down, with the relevant quote highlighted:

All of the Republican candidates want war with Iran.

Hard-dee-har.

Just a fact - anyway,no one is going to send troops to fight Iran.

That's what drones, the NSA, and Israel are for.

Anyhow, it's Monday and I am not really here.

They'll all send the troops and the bombs and the missiles and the contractors.

It's their job to keep the Military Industrial Complex fat full with taxpayer dollars.

Snot Walker has already said he'll be ready on day one.

And Jeb Bush says we need to show that we have skin in the game.

That would be your kids skin, not his.

No troops to Iran - prob. back to Iraq and maybe Lebanon - and selling more arms.
