RT - As tensions ratchet up between Washington and Tehran, the internet is taking a moment to appreciate the irony of some of President Donald Trumps old tweets warning that Barack Obama was stoking war on Iran to stay in office.
Some of Trumps tweets from Obamas first term are coming back to haunt him again in light of the eerie similarities between the warnings and the current aggressive moves by his own administration.
Trumps warnings werent once off tweets selectively picked from the pack he pushed the line that Obama was planning an attack on Iran to secure his position more than seven times in a little over a year!
At least Trump has been consistent in his inconstancy. Although he has been hard-line about enforcing and imposing sanctions, the president has been rather ambivalent about potential military options. When asked about the rumors of sending 120,000 troops into the Middle East to check Iranian influence, the president said he hoped it wouldnt come to that and called the idea fake news before immediately adding that thats because it would be a hell of a lot more troops than that.
