POTUS seems to be moving toward de-escalation. This is crucial for the safety of people everywhere. We must remember: we are in this situation because Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal—a plan that was working. POTUS again creates a problem, then claims he has a solution.

President Trump: “No Americans were harmed in last night's attack... We suffered no casualties. All of our soldiers are safe and only minimal damage was sustained... Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down…” cnn.it/36Glauo

The Iran Nuclear Deal was a multi-lateral agreement, with the EU, China, U.S., UK and more involved. We had strength in numbers and we saw that Iran was getting rid of its uranium and dismantling nuclear infrastructure. When POTUS pulled out of that deal, we lost that security.

Erratic actions and sabre-rattling are not enough. We need smart strategy to ensure the safety of U.S. troops, diplomats and civilians everywhere. I hope we see de-escalation measures from all parties involved. #NoWarWithlran

He can barely speak, I find it hard to believe he’s making these decisions himself. If the last person to influence him was pro peace, I worry about the next time when it’s Pompeo or similar we won’t be as lucky. Is there a timeline for checking his war power?
