Is Trump planning a ground invasion of Iran on Good Friday?
The president’s ‘weaponised unpredictability’ is destabilising for the Middle East and the world — but there is a growing feeling that it is a ploy to buy time

He said he was negotiating, signaling that he was going to pull out. The only possible meaning for that is he's going all in. It's like the dilemma - one is always telling lies...

Agreed. This is the same Trump, that while re-negotiating the 2015 nuclear deal, conducted airstrikes on Iranian facilities. Never trust a Trump.

His father should have pulled out.

Yeah... how many times has he said he was going to pull out of anything?

I suspect he doesn’t like to pull out

He said it would be over in 2 weeks. So I figure that means at least 2 years. If it’s like his healthcare plan it could be 20 years.

Every friday, announce something that tanks the market. Every monday, make something up to convince the market to bounce back. Engage in insider trading and place bets before each of these announcements and pocket a 2% return every week. The US military is now just a tool for ego stroking and market manipulation.

If you use levered options it's more like a 200% return.

At some point he'll invade, yes, while stringing along Iran, other countries, and the stock market.

There’s noise on Polymarket for an on or before April 15th bet- so, there’s that avenue for grift too

While everyone is busy dealing with their taxes, and the religious are also dealing with Easter.

Trump ain't planning shit. He can't even handle concepts at this point.

I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the evil plans of Miller, Hegseth, Rubio, Graham, and Gen. Caine. They absolutely have the pieces in play and just need to get grandpa to nod along.

And the Trump spawn who are making a mint off this administration.

I'm not dismissing that at all. I'm just pointing out Trump isn't the one pulling the strings. I am not defending him or downplaying whatever disaster these fuckers are about bring on the world.

It's what Jesus would do.

To celebrate Easter and the resurgence of Christ, the US will murder some infidels. Just like Jesus would have liked it /s

If Trump intends to go through with this it will be Good Friday, that will give him 2 days of spinning it the way he wants before the markets can react.

Good Friday is a holy day for crusader Pentagon Pete and for market manipulator Don, when he like to be the almighty invisible hand of the market.

The Cossaks often liked to do pogroms on Holy Days, so...

Probably. Remember how proud he was of bombing Nigeria on Christmas?

Probably but only because it will make some evangelicals think it is a sign of the end times.

If he does, it won't be a good Friday for the troops that he sends in. You can trust that Iran will do exactly as they say. This isn't like sending in troops to catch Maduro!

The DoD ain't even telling Trump what they are doing because they know he will blurt it out. I think they only tell him stuff after it happens.

On a highlight reel of blowups so he can stay awake and follow along.

I’m surprised he hasn’t renamed it trump Friday.

Why can’t we send our finest soldier Pee Kegsbreath to decide the war in a shirtless bare knuckle boxing match against Iran’s most masculine champion?

With 75000 troops? That's like throwing a hot dog down a hallway, but with people dying.
