The strike on Iran. T minus 72 hours.

[LuckyCharms]

T minus 72 hours. The Defense Department briefs president Trump on potential options for military action against Iran.

"Mr. President, after performing a complete analysis of all of our available options, we have narrowed the best solution down to a tactical strike at the below coordinates at 0300 hours, using the assets shown on the attached list. There is minimal risk to US personnel, with an anticipated fatality count in the 100 to 200 individual range for the Iranians".

Trump: "Stuff go boom"?

Defense Department: "Uhh, yes, Mr. President".

Trump: "COCK AND LOAD!"

T minus 10 minutes. Trump: "Will anyone die"?

1. And I don't even believe this bullshit about Trump's last minute compassion for Iranian lives.

He probably never intended to go through with it at all, just enjoyed the drama of it all; probably wanted to be able to say he had been 'cocked and loaded.'

2. he's doing it upon command by a master who's using the info to play the stock market

that's my guess.
