Telling people to shrug at threats against Iran because threats against North Korea didn't lead to war isn't a great take. But if you buy this, I argued Trump was bluffing during "fire and fury," and I'm telling you all to worry about him threatening Iran. https://arcdigital.media/dont-worry-too-much-about-the-trump-kim-war-of-words-d8a77c0ced63 …https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1021382583114797057 …

Insisting that Trump is threatening Iran just to distract from Russia is another popular take, and also wrong. Russia's important, but it's not the only thing. And the Trump admin's policy since the beginning has been to heighten confrontation with Iran.https://twitter.com/David_Leavitt/status/1021430078302048257 …

Trump's threat against Iran isn't just words. It fits a long pattern of actions and personnel decisions (especially Bolton) that point towards the possibility he'll order an attack. Take it seriously. (END)
