Robinson: ‘President Trump Has No Idea What He’s Doing Here’ with Iran

EXCERPT:

ROBINSON: "Yeah. When you talk about 120,000 troops, everybody should be deeply concerned that this is even being talked about. This policy is clearly being driven by John Bolton. He has — you know, to call him a hawk on Iran is to understate dramatically what John Bolton is. He wants regime change in Iran. He doesn’t want a change in the regime’s behavior. He apparently doesn’t think that’s possible. We already got that, by the way, with the Iran nuclear deal, which the President thinks that John Bolton has abrogated and tossed out and refuses to follow. But Bolton wants the regime gone. That’s a very, very dangerous position to take. Iran is a big powerful nation. It’s not the United States obviously, but when you talk about sending 120,000 troops to the region, that creates a trip wire. That makes it much more likely that we blunder or bluster our way into some sort of conflict that gets totally out of hand. President Trump has no idea what he’s doing here. None."
