Just a Thought

This thought below is my (Diane Sori), thought  alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com 

[[[ As the focus today remains on Iran with Trump once again trying to flex muscle he obviously doesn't have, what with his latest talk of possibly having to "annihilate Iran"  being just that...talk..,for even Trump must know that if he did so the response from both Russia and China would surely not be pretty for the U.S. 

So the question becomes, why then all the muscle-flexing talk? Why...because Trump is trying to divert and deflect attention away from the fact that all the latest polls...polls from both sides of the political aisle...show his overall "approval rating" at just 38.3% as opposed to a 58.7% "disapproval rating" when adults, registered voters and/or likely voters were asked the direct question, "Do you approve or disapprove of Donald Trump?"

And with the polls...for now anyway...being overwhelming against him, Trump...if he puts his massive ego aside...must know that not only will Republicans likely lose the House in November, but possibly the Senate as well, especially after the recently announced raise in interest rates. And now when you add in this latest little "confirmed" tidbit that U.S. officials, as directed by Trump, have held and will continue to hold talks with Houthi leaders in Oman...the Houthi's are  financially and militarily backed by Iran...negotiating with terrorists yet again seems to be the order of the day. and sadly could be the icing on a 2028 loss as well. 

"Houston," the Trump problem continues on...add-nauseam. ]]]

Iran adds new defenses at deeply buried nuclear site after Trump warns Islamic State not to ‘get cute’
Trump says he has a ‘big decision’ coming up on Iran: ‘Do I want to go in and annihilate them?’
Ronny Reyes / NEW YORK POST  

President Trump said Thursday that he was at a crossroads over whether to renew attacks in Iran to wipe out the regime and bring the war to an end.

“I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not?” he told Axios. “It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.”

Trump’s comments echo previous threats he’s levied against Tehran since the war began. 

But this time, he said, his next move is likely to be influenced by his meetings with Gulf allies at next week’s United Nations General Assembly meeting.

“I want to find out where they are and how they are doing. We have been very protective of them,” Trump added.

Tensions are expected to be high at the gathering after the Iran-backed Houthis launched fierce attacks on Saudi Arabia this past week, threatening global oil and gas supplies.

The UN Security Council already saw a clash on Thursday after Russia and China vetoed a bid to extend an expert panel to monitor sanctions against Iran and the regime’s nuclear program.
