Sanders blasts 'schoolyard bully' Trump on Iran



(snip)

“Trump, the schoolyard bully, is threatening to take us into another war in the Middle East. Just what we need!” Sanders tweeted in response to a Sunday tweet in which Trump said a war would mean “the official end” of Iran.

“But it will not be Trump's or his billionaire friend's kids and grandkids who fight and die in that war," Sanders wrote. "It will be working-class kids. No war with Iran!”

Sanders, one of the most consistently anti-war candidates in the crowded Democratic presidential field, launched a petition last week calling on Congress to pass legislation banning military action against Iran without Congressional approval.

Both Trump’s and Sanders’ tweets came amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. National security advisor John Bolton recently announced the U.S. will send a carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf in response to unspecified acts of aggression by Iran.
