It was clear to anybody listening that the Trump administration, in its conflict with Iran, was being very particular in its targets. Certain targets were being avoided and saved in case Iran absolutely refused to cooperate. Those end of the line targets were the bridges and power plants, as the major infrastructure. We were told this outright a couple of weeks ago.
Over the weekend, the president, because of Iran refusing passage through the Straight of Hormuz, threatened their infrastructure again, the bridges and power plants. Destroy the infrastructure, destroy the civilization. And because Iran was attacking our civilization by keeping oil from us, Trump threatened theirs.
Then move forward to the president’s statement yesterday about the destruction of a civilization. Trump was not planning on bombing Iran’s civilians. That wasn’t what he was saying at all, and anyone following his train of thought and the flow of events knew this. His point was the same - if we take out your infrastructure, mass casualties on the level of civilization collapse will be the result. It would be a literal case of bombing a people back into the Dark Ages. And even though he didn’t want to do that, it’s America first, and he had a duty to America. His modus operandi is always to threaten worse than he plans or desires to do, but to always hold on to the possibility that the worst might be necessary. And in such a situation, one must have the will to do it.
He is very thoughtful, deliberate, and methodical about what he does. Those who continue to believe he is just crazy will never really understand.
