WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump asked for options on attacking Iran’s main nuclear site last week but ultimately decided against taking the dramatic step, a U.S. official said on Monday.

Trump made the request during a meeting on Thursday with his top national security aides, including Vice President Mike Pence, his new Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, and General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the official said.

Nice, hand over a war to Biden, or say we can't hand over.

I thought Trump hasn't been doing anything except golfing and filling lawsuits since Election Day...
Of course, the larger question is how Iran has a growing nuclear ability.

i hope that he is not allowed to do crazy shit to sabotage the country because he lost.

Do you think the Cabinet would halt it/advise against? Only way if he refuses to cancel attacks is they would need to invoke the 25th

The story was pretty clear that he was advised against it.

Well, if Trump wishes to "lock" Biden in on Iran policy, it would seem the phrase 'payback is a b*tch' is apt.

Means squat with Trump- everyone and their dog has learned that

Attacking Iran will result in war - yes- no?

There is no question, trump ****ed up and took us out of the nuclear deal and allowed them to accelerate their program...

He didn't allow them to do anything. The deal expires in less than five years. At that point, Iran is allowed to build nukes.
Iran was going to build nukes regardless.

The military could refuse insane orders. I don't see his cabinet 25Aing him.

Only if unlawful, they would need to resign on the spot

 

[Exquisitor]

It would be time to put him behind bars.

And trump accelerated it rather than negotiating as he said he would.
Remember when he said it would take one day to get a better deal?

Guess what, he lied!!!

Art of the deal my ass!!!

Scared no, Very concerned, Hell Yes, this needs to end, Now. Put Pence in and remove trump before he goes completely off the grid and takes the Nation with him. He truly is becoming an danger to the Republic. Don't care what his cult members say or do, they can be dealt with if they go nuts, it needs to be done for a long list of reasons.

You can resign from the military???

That's news to me, he'll I took a couple days off and they made it out to be this big thing...

The position is what I am referring to - JCS cannot resign?

Pence is nothing but a lapdog looking to 2024

I'm at least slightly concerned that he'll engage in "burn the house down" personal revenge or sabotage.

He will be fine until January 20.
