    I don’t know why would Iran attack before the election since that could boost Trump’s chances and Trump would be worse for them. Perhaps this is an attempt by Israel to nudge the election towards him?

      Or maybe the entire god damned world doesn’t make every god damned decision based on the US Election? Just sayin’…

        Most of the world yes. But in this one where the quantities, types and prices of the bombs used literally depend on the American election, it probably influences decision-making.

          American isn’t buying Iran’s bombs and there’s no amount of hysterical hand waving you can do to get over that fact.

        I would love to see how you defend the argument that Iran doesn’t care about the US election results. That’d be a fascinating exercise to see done.
