New map designed to show where all the US and Iranian naval and air forces are located
pretty cool
hopefully we see USS Gerald Ford in the Med by next week.
I think Trump is making every last effort to let Iran cave and give up their nukes so he can say "I gave them every opportunity." I also wonder if he wants to wait until after the Olympics are over.
I hope so, because Trump publicly laid out a red line for the Iranian people, and encouraged them to continue their uprising. He told them if their government killed any of them, we would come in and back them up.
Recent reports indicate 40,000-50,000 Iranian citizens have been killed in the last few weeks.
I don't think negotiations were what the people there had in mind when he said we would back them up if any of them were killed.
Just my opinion, but I think the dye was cast weeks ago. He really doesn't have a choice. If he makes some type of "deal" with their current regime, he loses all hope of a good relationship with any new regime that may find itself in power over there, and any current semblance of respect.
