Thank you Mr Trump for your strong stand that might actually have an effect on the situation..
Trump is giving them 49 days. I hope they take the threat seriously and send the hostages home much sooner... Who knows how many of the hostages who are still alive can hold out and stay alive another 49 days....

He is a blowhard. Why should they take him seriously? This post is on its face total nonsense. He is going to hit them "harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied history of the United States"? What is he going to do? Drop three atomic bombs on Gaza?
ReplyDeleteI think at least part of the point is to make *them* wonder.
DeleteWe will likely never know what message president-elect Reagan sent to Iran but it worked. The hostages in Iran were released.
DeleteTrump isn't being so discrete. Israel will have no problem with a brigade of Marines and Rangers showing up to scour Gaza for remaining Hamas'niks and the hostages.
I highly doubt Trump would send troops or nuke Gaza, but he may hurt Iran either with bombs or with tough sanctions, he may target some specific people, he may hurt hamas sponsors with tough sanctions, he may tell israel to stop humanitarian aid and bomb more, or whatever. The general threat may be enough, as we have already seen what they call "the trump effect" in play. and maybe nothing will come of it, but talking tough is more than we've gotten until now, from either government
DeleteGarnel, we do know what message he sent. Don't release them before the election. Help me get elected, and I will make it worth your while.
