While I agree with you that Trump is going crazy here (I reluctantly voted for him BECAUSE I wanted to avoid more middle eastern wars. One of the reasons I voted for him was because Trump wasn't interested in taking Assad dout), Iran last night apparently said a war with the USA would be the mother of all wars. I am sick of these middle eastern wars.
“Don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” the Iranian leader said while speaking to Iranian diplomats on Sunday, local news agencies reported. “The Americans must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”
However, no one ever mentions that the 1953 coup of Iran (instigated by Americans) REALLY messed up the region.
John Bolton is now backing up what Trump said:
Donald Trump plans to make Iran pay a price few countries have ever paid before, according to the US national security adviser, John Bolton, who doubled down on a late-night tweet in which the US president threatened Tehran.
Bolton’s statement was designed to show that Trump’s unexpectedly belligerent tweet was not a random act, or empty bluster but part of a considered move by the US administration to step up the economic, political and psychological pressure on Iran.
Bolton, a well-known hawk on Iran, told reporters in Washington: “I spoke to the president over the last several days, and President Trump told me that if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price few countries have ever paid.”

If Trump goes full neocon I will vote Democrat for the first time ever.
