OH DOESN’T THIS JUST FIGURE.
Iran, which is up to its neck in the coronavirus pandemic, is supposedly planning a “sneak attack” on us.
Uh huh.
President Trump asserted Wednesday, without citing specific evidence, that Iran or an Iran-backed militia is planning a “sneak attack” on U.S. troops or assets in Iraq and warned that Iran would “pay a very heavy price” if it were carried out.
The saber-rattling from Trump comes as Iran-backed militias are becoming more audacious in attacking U.S. personnel in Iraq, with rocket strikes on military bases occurring more frequently and, for the first time, in broad daylight.
U.S. officials say they are receiving near-daily reports of “imminent” attacks planned against U.S.-linked military or diplomatic facilities.
“Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq,” Trump said in his tweet, without providing elaboration. “If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed!”

Now far be it for me to think that President Trump might be lying, trying to create a distraction, gaslighting or otherwise doing something untoward.
So forgive me if I am a wee bit skeptical here.
On the other hand imagine the pain and agony he could inflict on the world if in addition to leaving us wide open to the pandemic, effectively sentencing hundreds of thousands of Americans to death, destroying our economy, shredding our society and rocking the global order he decides to start a war.
Boy that’d show ‘em. Trump is #1! Yes! He is bigly important and all should bow down!
America First! right?
God help us all.
