The words “red line” have now become almost meaningless thanks to a statement made by Russia and Iran this week.
Russia and Iran aren’t the first nations to misuse the term. That distinction goes to Barack Obama. In 2012, then-president Obama issued a “red line” warning against Bashar al-Assad: If Assad uses chemical weapons, the United State military will respond.
But Assad did — and Obama didn’t.
Four-and-a-half years later, Donald Trump finally made good on Obama’s promise, but the damage had already been done. The “red line” was already viewed as a farce.
But this week, Iran and Russia are bringing the term back. This time, however, they’re using it against the United States.
Read about why the two nations are threatening retaliation against the United States on the next page:
Oh well they have to posture for now. neither one is a big threat, they are just tring to get in to some ones face.
Mr Trump just showed them he was not taking any BS.
Exactly right Don. The globalist think they are using islam for world dominance. They did not think it through.
f**k them both, Russia and Iran want to start a war you can’t win$#%&!@*YOU! EVERY ONE DIES!
Why would we trust either country?The truth NEVER comes from either one. Both want America GONE. There would be no terrorism if Iran did not exist. They finance nearly ALL of it.
Iran let Russia use their bases. Forgot why lol. But they probably rub each other’s back. They just use each other Robert Edwards
You will only have to worry about law for little while longer because in war there is NO Law.
Obama has stacked the dominoes against America the last 8 years and now Russia, Korea, and Islam Is about to kick the first one over!
Not one True Good Americans has yet to take to the street!
When they do, there will be no place to run, hide, cry, beg or pray it away… All will pay the piper. An American Reckoning is near and when that cat is out of the bag America will not be America again
No they didn’t!! F**e$#%&!@*s**t
Blah blah blah!
We have stuff we don’t even know about yet ….
