Although I can agree with both of your statements (above), the "empty threat" from Iran being "2 weeks from a nuke" is status quo; in other words, "less concerning" (again, in air quotes).

Likewise, so is the fact that the "nuclear thing" pre-dates Trump because (to my mind) it's also a status quo observation.

What I find most critically worrisome is the situation of a man (I can't even bring myself to reference him as President), who demonstrates blatantly obvious ego-centric, psychological issues (and we haven't even mentioned the obvious signals of onset dementia), will choose to incite a war with Iraq if he feels it would be to his personal (emphasis on personal vs national security) advantage.

PS: I hope it's for reasons of respect for Charlie Sheen, and the struggle he endured re: his mental health battle, but I'm absolutely astounded that no one in the media has pointed out how disastrous it was for Sheen to adopt the catchphrase, "winning".

Trump has violated International law by attacking Iran (with Israel) today. 

From NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday:

"The strikes, which began early Saturday, were launched without congressional authorization. Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war. Top Congressional Democrats and Republicans that make up a group known as the Gang of Eight — party leaders from both chambers, as well as the Intelligence committees' leadership — were notified by the White House shortly before the attack."

America and Israel don't give a sh!t about international law. Ego. Again.

"Leader of the free world"

Where in the WORLD do you get the basis for your opinions?

PBS is currently re-running, "Mister Rogers: It's You I Like". I'm NOT telling you what to do.

It's my opinion though, that you SHOULD seek out its airdates where you are, and watch it before you post anything more.

I get my opinions from decades of history. I'm completely lost as to what part of my post you find fault with.
